Membership - eligibility criteria and admission process
The Council - Decision making body, processes and so on
Diplomacy - embassies, communication and other such matters
- Diplomatic Fast Response Force:
A crack team of diplomats from across the alliance who will be capable of identifying and providing solutions to crises before military options become a concern. Essentially using the rapid response force model utilizing diplomatic and analytical tools instead of arms.
Cultural Affairs - cultural connections between the nations and their peoples
Promotion of religious links, harmonization of relations between different faiths, rotating cultural festivals all sound like something which could be of benefit.
Trade and Travel - terms of a trading agreement between the members and rules of travel between member states. (to some extent a rolling over of the CSU but in greatly reduced form, detail and extent)
Free trade area?
Science - Self-explanatory; joins the capabilities and energies of the collective research and scientific bodies to advance our understanding of Mundus and the heavens around us.
Use CSSA as a model for a more comprehensive scientific and exploration body?
Security and Mutual Aid Component - Rolling over CSTO defence clause, adding new measures to underpin it, measures to deal with crises etc
Joint Protectorate Sphere successor?
