The Orange County Treaty Organization, or OCTO (ːɒ̃rɑːnj ɔːn ((help)) OH-ranj COUNT-ie trEE-ty Organ-IZAY-shun) is an intermicronational development, military, cultural, and trade alliance centered at developing nations within Orange County, CA. The organization is currently headed by Juniperia and offers aid with economics, development, and protection to micronations in Orange County.
History
Many nations in the Orange County sector have sought for a uniting factor, since the Westavian Empire, a proposed "organization" similar to NATO was created, but failed immediately do to lack of commitment by government factors.
The organization was coined by Sean Villevoiche after the foundation of Setara as a republic, and it sought to differentiate the OC nations from the two main micronational sides, the McKeenists and the New Organization of Free Nations.
Structure
