United Sahar, also known as the Unition or the Union of Sahar (US), is an intergovernmental organisation aiming to promote international cooperation and to maintain peace on Sahar. Founded after the Great Ekuosian War to prevent such a conflict happening again, United Sahar has grown into the world's biggest intergovernmental union, monitoring international crises and creating a global network of diplomacy and information. The headquarters of the US is situated in Bosato, and is subject to extraterritoriality. The most prominent figurehead of the US is the secretary-general, an office currently held by [who?] from [where?] since 2015.

The main deliberative body of the US is the Congress of Nations.

History

Founding

United Sahar was founded in Bosato in 1956, 4 years after the end of the Great Ekuosian War. It was the result of talks between the CEPS (which had been established 3 years earlier), the Kuulist bloc, the Charter and Szezkia (which was invaded by Norjihan, a Unity supporter), who were the Allied victors of the war, as well as representatives from Vaniu, Lugida and Qonklaks. Its goals, as set out in the Bosato Declaration, were to prevent the reoccurance of an armed conflict on the scale of the GEW, and to act as a peacekeeping force in other conflicts worldwide.

Expansion

Nations from regions mostly unaffected by the GEW in South Baredina, Boroso and Miraria soon expressed interest in joining the US, and in 1961 the Congress elected to reorient the organisation to promoting world peace outside of Ekuosia and Soltenna.

Membership[number] delegations

The Congress of Nations is the primary deliberative body of the US which proposes, debates and votes upon resolutions. It is made up of delegations from every member state of the US, numbering [number], which means that every nation has equal representation. However, the "one state, one vote" power structure has been criticised for potentially allowing states representing only a small minority of Sahar's population to pass important resolutions. The Congress is presided over by the Speaker of the Congress of Nations. Its powers are to oversee the US budget and to make non-binding recommendations in the form of Congress Resolutions.

The Congress convenes twice every solar year at the US headquarters in Bosato. The first session was opened on the 20th October 1961 by Prince Lorros of Nyatol.
