Commonwealth of Peoples

The Commonwealth of Peoples is a single, discrete actor in international affairs and thus functions for the purposes of most foreign powers as a single sovereign state. However, according to its own laws and history, the Commonwealth is an intergovernmental and supranational union of ten sovereign states established in its final form by the New Amsterdam Treaty of 2006.

The Commonwealth has a common foreign policy. With the exception of the Danaan embassies to Pantocratoria and Excalbia and the embassies each member state has to each other member state, all foreign diplomatic missions of Commonwealth members were placed under the control of the Commonwealth Secretariat for External Affairs shortly after the establishment of the Commonwealth. Ambassadors to the Commonwealth are accredited to the President of the Commonwealth Council of State and are initially received in the Castillo de Madero in Madero Cabello although most embassies are actually located in New Amsterdam.

The Commonwealth also has a common currency, the dollar, although no member state is required to adopt it and some have preferred to keep their own local currencies. However, the economies of all members do stand behind the dollar through the Commonwealth Economic Council. Custom checks have been abolished at some of the Commonwealth's internal borders and passport control has been abolished at nearly all of them, creating a single space of mobility for work, travel and investment.

The Commonwealth's activities touch on all areas of public policy. In some, such as agriculture and commerce is resembles a lose federation. In others, such as domestic policy, it resembles an international organization. However, in the areas of foreign policy and defense, the Commonwealth functions as a single state.
