Easwegian Overseas Communities
Easwegian Overseas Communities; Ez: Qellimezerrye vi Pemerrlagh; Nr: Jarnske Utenlandsamfunn; Ru: Эзериe Заморские Cообщества; shortened to EOC, is an agency of the Common Union of Easway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which aims to support and promote Easwegians abroad. It was established on 19 December 2023 under the administration of Squ Bai, the second and current Grand Councillor. [1]
Criteria
The Easwegians are a polyethnic nation, traditionally made up of the Ezaari, Norwegian traders and Pomors. Its modern borders encompass remnants of the medieval Easwegian Commonwealth, which form the bulk of the modern national identity. Furthermore, before Easway's founding and after its dissolution the Icelandic and Pomors travelled the area, and some were assimilated into the Easwegian family. The Ezaari are originally from the Pontic-Caspian Steppe and surrounding areas, and existed within the Khazar Khaganate. It is these areas, which the Government of Easway refers to as the Easwegian Continuum, which are said to contain the bulk of Easwegians abroad. An Easwegian may be anyone with a connection to the Continuum and identifies as such.
Associations
Easwegian Associations are entities set up by the MFA to indicate areas with a significant Easwegian population.
Gökçeada
Gökçeada, an island within Turkey's Marmara, was established as an Easwegian Association in December and incorporated into the Easwegian Communities at the agency's founding on 19 December 2023. [2]
