The Bayfolk Co-Development Sphere, or Bay-Co, for short, is an international organization organized by the Kingdom of the Central Bays as a joint security and economic alliance between member states. Officially declared in 1892 with the signing of the Aguamenti Accords, Bay-Co was initially conceived as an economic alliance between member states, with member states adopting financial and trade standards moderated by the Central Bays.
In light of the recent rise in Socialist and Societalist influences, Bay-Co, as since slowly expanded within all membering states, adding a new joint-military organization, as well as a collaborative intelligence and surveillance operation wing. As of 1924, Bay-Co currently has 5 main operational branches, each directing one of the 5 fields of collaboration between all member states of Bay-Co.
Economics
Since inception, Bay-Co has always placed the economy of all member nations in top priority. Since the signing of the Azure Accords, Bay-Co, with influence from the Kingdom of the Central Bays, has always monitored the health and resilience of all member state economies through the Development of Co-Prosperity office within Bay-Co. Although most of the funding for the Development of Co-Prosperity comes from the Central Bays, these funding has mostly been repurposed to develop and invest into the economies of other member states, namely Ealsridge, Versín, and Hespion.
In return, the Development of Co-Prosperity requires member states to peg their currency standards onto the Bayfolkian Kinar (Kr), which was in turn pegged to the value of Gold.
