ECOWAS was created to promote co-operation and development in all spheres of economic activity through the removal of all forms of trade barriers and obstacles to the free movement of persons, goods and services, as well as the harmonising of regional sector policies. The main objective is to establish a large West African common market and create a monetary union.

The Commission is lead by Olivia Broome (Silvia Broome's sister). The regional building for the ECOWAS commission meetings are held in the West African Societal Holding Grounds for Meetings (WASH-GM) in Bamako, Mali.

Currency wise, the Transvaler Rand (Florin) is the most commonly accepted form of currency.

This department was established in accordance with Article 16 of the Protocol Relating to the Mechanism for Conflict Prevention, Management, Resolution Peacekeeping and Security. The Director of the Department of Defence and Security assists the DES – PADS in all matters relating to Defence and Security within the sub region.

General CA Okae is the director of defence and security

The Department of Peace Keeping and Regional Security (DPKRS) is one of the departments under the Office of the Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security. This department was established in accordance with Article 16 of the Protocol Relating to the Mechanism for Conflict Prevention, Management, Resolution Peacekeeping and Security. The Director of the Department of Peace Keeping and Regional Security assists the C – PAPS in all matters relating to Peace and Security within the sub region.

General Ecakoa runs the DPKRS.

History:

Economically, poverty, under-development, and unemployment were the norm. Development had been concentrated in a few urban centers, thus creating migration to cities that could not provide employment for the large number of job seekers. This phenomenon stifled the growth of democracy and its institutions in the sub-region. Naturally, people were disenfranchised and became restive. Population unrest in order to change the internal conditions was met with severe repression. These situations set the stage for the emergence of armed rebel groups, and eventually, open war.

Less than two months ago, The Artemis Global Security holdings of the !@#$%* was relinquished after several economic problems due to them "spreading thin." With the land up for grabs and no sure successor, fourteen !@#$%* in Africa were engaged in armed conflict or civil strife, eleven were experiencing severe political crisis due to rising and falling of governments looking to spread Communism or Nordic Principals. This gloomy picture has changed dramatically and positively over the last two months.

At the return of a once great Emperor of Russia, Mykep, a now hostage for the fear that the exposure of his life would ruin his old country and turn it into chaos, has returned from hidding and was found in the Sahara Desert, Northern Nigeria. Considered a great leader in these troubled times, he was elected by a committee of regional generals and politicians to take to the head of the crowds and lead the !@#$%* to thier former glory.

Once putting down a very rebellious Communist party in Nigeria, he headed west to Benin, where local governments threw the nation state into anarchy. With the rise of the people in support of the new leader Mykep, he forced the local government leaders out of thier control. He, however, gave the thier titles back with caution and severe probation periods so that a rise would not start again from the outside. In time, he gained control of all former holdings of the AWS and proclaimed himself the successor of the lands. With that, he gave the power back to the people, restoring it to Artermis' former glory, The Republic. Mykep would take the name, the structure, and name himself Archon and begin to reeestablish order within his country, and abroad.

At present, only about six African countries can be considered to be in a situation of violent conflict and very few countries are facing deep political crises. These countries lay outside of The Republic's current holdings and are not annexed. Programmes have been made to aid these countries in several ways, but are to not be claimed by existing warlords until one rises in a peaceful manner and claims them justly with the support of the people.

The capital of the region, it attempts to show its importance by copying the construction of the Canadians in the Canary Islands. You can sometimes see payed officials off the shores with binoculars attempting to write down building plans.

Dakhla

During the 1960s, the Francoist dictatorship also built here one of the three paved airports in Western Sahara at Dakhla Airport. The Francoists are hated in this city, and all of their cultural achievements have been wiped from the city. All that remains is the airport.

The main economic activity of the city is fishing.

Cape Bojador

Most North Eastern Naval Base of The Republic. International trade is brought through here at times.

A shrine to Mykep is built near the shores along side a statue for the Saharan soldiers lost in the Central African conflicts.

The city is home to the Université de Nouakchott, which is the only university in Mauritania and was opened in 1981. Other higher education facilities include the National School of Administration, and the National Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies. There are many primary and secondary schools, and an American International School of Nouakchott.

$630m Mauritania Railway linking the port of Nouakchott and phosphate mines at Bofal, about 430 km away. The line goes near the border with Senegal.

Nouadhibou

The city also features an international airport.

Weapons employment: Currently, Phase I of the Growler will carry the AIM-120 AMRAAM for self-protection at the two conformal fuselage stations and AGM-88 HARM missiles. The 20 mm M61A1 cannon has been removed and replaced by a pod of electronic boxes that control the AN/ALQ-218 and assist with the coordination AN/ALQ-99 jamming attacks.

According to the possible weapon configurations which were revealed, EA-18G would also be capable of performing "time-sensitive" strike missions, carrying AGM-154 JSOW under wings, or multi-sensor reconnaissance missions with SHARP and AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR on centerline and left conformal weapon stations, respectively.,
