Arcturus Union

The Arcturus Union (Adlerian: Union von Arkturus, Tagalog: Unyong Arkturus) is an economic union comprising of member states across various continents in Ponythe, which promotes intergovernmental cooperation and facilitates economic, political, security, military, educational, and sociocultural integration between its members and other countries across the globe.

Founding
The Arcturus Union originally had its roots in the Coronian-Agilan Federal Union (CAFU), a union between the Socialist Republic of Coronia and the Kingdom of Agila in the early 1960s, when the Agilan-Adlerian civil war broke out in Malkent causing Agila to lose much of its northern territory. Hoping to build better relations with the two nations and help them recover, in 1961, the Principality of Equestria began negotiations with the Coronian and Agilan governments before proclaiming the creation of the Arcturus Union that same year. As a result, the CAFU would then be integrated into the union. John Kirk, the President of Coronia at the time, was then elected as the 1st General Secretary of the Arcturus Union as a result.
