The Fusion Accords refer to the agreements signed between Jonquière and Tadoussac on June 24, 1837, which created the unified country of Jonquiere-Tadoussac. This was negotiated by King Roland XVI of Jonquière and High Council François Roland of Tadoussac.

This new decision came from several fronts. The stated purpose was to remove all reasons for hostilities between the two governments. However, it was well known at the time that Jonquiere had more land to use, while Tadoussac had more resources on its current territory. Joining made best use of these strengths, creating a synergy. Finally, the state of Baranxtu was coming dangerously close to the borders of both powers, and threatening their sovereignty. The leaders obviously remembered the old adage: "United We Stand, Divided We Fall".

The agreement wasn't automatic, however. Several points were required by both sides before they would approve of the deal. Jonquiere wouldn't give up its long line of illustrious monarchs, but Tadoussac wanted an elected leader, as they had seen for the last 200 years. The solution: keep the King (or Queen), but make the position elected and not hereditary.
