Grozyar-Elesar Security Axis

The Grozyar-Elesar Security Axis (aka GESA or Axis) ( Grozyar-Elesország Biztonsági Tengely, GEBT). ( Генгерский-Елесарь Ось безопасности, ГЕОб) is a economic and defensive treaty between the Republic of Granzery and Empire of Elesar. It features a general staff which co-ordinate economic, scientific, diplomatic and military efforts between the two major signitaries. Other observer states and non-affiliated allies can be involved in certain co-operative efforts although the treaty, which was signed in 1975 following the end of the Transkarpatian war, defines the treaty as a duonational axis between Elesar and Granzery.

The signing of the Grozyar-Elesar Security Axis occurred on November 29, 1975, a month after the end of the Transkarpatian war. It was defined as a "duonational economic, military and diplomatic axis between the sovereign states of the Republic of Granzery and the Empire of Elesar." This definition was expanded in the 1980s to include scientific co-operation between the two states. The treaty includes free trade and open borders between the two states.

Membership
The Primary Signitaries of the Security Axis are Elesar and Granzery, both these nations are subject to all Axis decisions and agreements.

Military Associates
Military Associate status is given to states who are prepared to engage in all military cooperation with the Security Axis, these states are exempt from Axis agreements regarding economic treaties and scientific co-operation. Military Associates also retain more diplomatic independence, and are required to co-ordinate diplomatic efforts with other Axis states. The first nation in Atlas to be classed as a Military Associate was Volgaria, who was initially an observer from 1975 when the Axis was first founded, but became the first Military Associate of the Axis in 1984.

The most recent nation to be classed as a Military Associate was Tenburg, which became allied with the Axis following a Nationalist coup.

Military Associate nations of the Security Axis by date of admission are:


 * Volgaria, April 1984.
 * Lavikona, September 1985.
 * Sytrica, January 1996.
 * Carloso, May 2017.
 * Tenburg, December 2018.

Rapid Response Corps
In 2003, following the end of the 2003 Saizyan-Volgarian War the Grozyar-Elesar Security Axis began the deployment of two Axis Command Regiments, collectively known as the Rapid Response Corps. Axis Command East (stationed in Elesar) and Axis Command West (stationed in Volgaria), are both mechanized/armoured regiments utilizing troops from primarily their host nation, but also significant troops from across all Axis Military Associates. In 2019 the Security Axis deployed Axis Command Central, stationed in Veraglia, Granzery, as an airmobile regiment capable of being deployed anywhere worldwide within 24 hours.

Economic Partner
In 2017 the Security Axis included a possible allegiance position referred to as an "Economic Partner", the constituent nations (which could simultaneously be Military Associates, but are not required to be), would be subject to economic and diplomatic co-operation and adherence to economic policies within the Axis. As of January 2019 there are no nations classed as Economic Partners.

Observer States
Currently the only Observer state to the Grozyar-Elesar Security Axis is the National Republic of Oskorev. Following a coup in Oskorev removing the communist party from power, the Nationalist Oskorevan government requested Associate status within the Axis, however due to diplomatic pressure from Lavikona and Sytrica, Oskorev was rejected Military Associate status. As an observer, Oskorev receives limited military co-operation (primarily from Granzery), and is able to attend Axis summits and meetings.

Space Co-operation
Granzerian and Elesarian space co-operation date back to the early 1970s, with joint satellites and joint moon landings taking place for years. In 1980 the Security Axis launched an official joint space program, culminating ultimately in the joint space station "TBA" operating from 1995 to the present day. In addition to Granzerian and Elesarian co-operation, Volgarian space authorities have also had involvement with TBA, and Volgarian astronauts have six-month deployments per year aboard the "TBA" space station.
