'''Regional Organization of the Kivu Ocean''' ([[Kivuian language|Kivuian]]: ''Regionale Organisation des Kivuischen Ozeans'', abbreviated '''ROKO''') is a political and economic union of 10 member states on Ostlandet and West Ecros. It has a combined population of over 687 million and a combined nominal gross domestic product (GDP) of around ₵26 trillion, constituting approximately 30% of global [[List of countries by GDP (nominal)|GDP (nominal)]].

ROKO was founded in September 1992 during the [[1992 Trans-Kivu economic crisis|Trans-Kivu economic crisis]] which, although affecting many countries in the region, had more noticeable effects on the economies of [[Kivu]] and [[Monsilva]], who were two of the five founding members of the organization. It was founded with several primary objectives which include developing diplomatic and economic ties between members and keeping the Kivu Ocean safe from what the organization considers as threats. ROKO includes most of the strongest economies around the Kivu Ocean, including major global economies such as [[Paleocacher]] and [[New Gandor]]. As a result, ROKO has quickly grown into one of Terraconserva's largest political and economic organizations and its success has been considered as a driving force for later alliances such as the [[Ostlandet Union]], which includes four of ROKO's nine members.

The organization's headquarters are located in [[Amking]], [[Monsilva]]. The headquarters were chosen to be situated in Amking mainly due to the city's central geographical location in terms of the organization's founding members, but it was also chosen as an economically significant city that is well-connected to all other member nations. Although not established primarily as a military organization, ROKO's members are all mostly militarily aligned and an additional clause, which is optional, was added stating that an attack on any ROKO member counts as an attack on all ROKO members.

In 2004, the ROKO Global Forum was created, allowing any nation in Terraconserva to become an observer and take part in an annual summit that discusses international issues taking place in the Kivu Ocean, or involving ROKO members.

In June 2009, another international forum was created, known as the ROKO Plus Four. The ROKO Plus Four includes all original member states as well as Baltanla, Jackson, Rakhman and Uulgadzar.

Regional Organization of the Kivu Ocean (Kivuian: Regionale Organisation des Kivuischen Ozeans, abbreviated ROKO) is a political and economic union of 7 member states on Ostlandet and West Ecros. It has a combined population of over 687 million and a combined nominal gross domestic product (GDP) of around ₵26 trillion, constituting approximately 30% of global GDP (nominal).

ROKO was founded in September 1992 during the Trans-Kivu economic crisis which, although affecting many countries in the region, had more noticeable effects on the economies of Kivu and Monsilva, who were two of the five founding members of the organization. It was founded with several primary objectives which include developing diplomatic and economic ties between members and keeping the Kivu Ocean safe from what the organization considers as threats. ROKO includes most of the strongest economies around the Kivu Ocean, including major global economies such as Paleocacher and New Gandor. As a result, ROKO has quickly grown into one of Terraconserva's largest political and economic organizations and its success has been considered as a driving force for later alliances such as the Ostlandet Union, which includes four of ROKO's seven members.

The organization's headquarters are located in Amking, Monsilva. The headquarters were chosen to be situated in Amking mainly due to the city's central geographical location in terms of the organization's founding members, but it was also chosen as an economically significant city that is well-connected to all other member nations. Although not established primarily as a military organization, ROKO's members are all mostly militarily aligned and an additional clause, which is optional, was added stating that an attack on any ROKO member counts as an attack on all ROKO members.

History

Founding

The Regional Organization of the Kivu Ocean was created on the 15 September 1992, when the foreign ministers of five countries: Gjorka, Kivu, Monsilva, New Gandor and Paleocacher, signed the Amking Declaration, also known as the ROKO Declaration. As set out in the declaration, the purposes of ROKO are to strengthen diplomatic ties between member nations, as well as acceleration economic growth, especially in countries affected by the 1992 Trans-Kivu economic crisis. The organization was not only founded as a means for some of the members to recover their economies, but also as a means to promote regional peace, collaboration and mutual assistance.

ROKO's first summit meeting, held in Amking, Monsilva in 1993, resulted in the signing of a co-operation treaty which made member nations pledge to not interfere in any other member's internal affairs, unless interference is requested by the signatory member government in question or its direct successors, such as during a civil war. Also included in this treaty was an optional attack against one is an attack against all clause. All nations that signed the clause would be guaranteed protection from all other signatory nations if they are territorially or politically violated. The only nation to not sign the clause was Gjorka.

In June 2009, another international forum was created, known as the ROKO Plus Four. The ROKO Plus Four includes all original member states as well as Baltanla, Jackson, Rakhman and Uulgadzar. All members of the ROKO Plus Four are also members of the Global Forum. ROKO Plus Four members must be within a certain geographical area that includes the continent of Ostlandet and most nations in western Ecros. ROKO Plus Four member nations are able to attend the full ROKO Summit. These summits have included discussions on a wide range of political and diplomatic topics. For all intents and purposes, members of ROKO Plus Four have the same level of membership as full members.

Expansion

In October 1992, the sixth member, Kernev, joined ROKO. Araucarlia joined in 2005 as the seventh member and the second nation from Ecros.
