Organization of Korashan States

The Korashan Forum (Caliantene: Forelle Corassaine; Osi: U'geso Koassa; Hugj: Uhett Korreth; Augustine: Forium Corasii) is a intergovernmental organization on the Korashan continent intended to promote peace, cooperation, economic development, and civil and political freedoms. The organization was created in 1905 and has since become the leading forum for states to communicate on the continent. The organization is headquartered in Queensport, Southern Korasha.

Post Colonial Tensions
As the colonial powers of Caliane, Davinthia, Augustine, and others began to withdraw from the Korashan continent, ethnic tensions began to arise between many of the groups on the continent. These tensions erupted into the Korashan Conflicts in 1895 and have engulfed the center of the continent in crisis ever since. The coastal areas of the continent, being wealthier and wishing to provide some stability, began to cooperate with the Avanoran powers to combat the violence, with the Spice Coast and Southern Korasha becoming vital partners for the Davinthian and Caliantene militaries in their attempts to establish order.

This increased cooperation led Southern Korashan President Kĩragũ Gathenya to call for the creation of an international forum for Korashan nations to discuss important issues facing the continent - specifically the hunger and poverty issues in the interior, and the migrant crisis facing the wealthier nations on the continent. This call would lead to several delegates from Paravantir, Spice Coast, and Southern Korasha meeting in Queensport in 1898 to discuss closer ties between the three nations.

The Korashan Development Forum
The Korashan Development Forum (KDF) was the predecessor to the modern day Korashan Forum. After the Queensport Meeting of 1898, the delegates of the three participating nations signed the Queensport Declaration on 15 Veiltide, 1899 forming the KDF. The forum was loosely defined, and aimed at "the promotion of economic development, political stability, and cooperation between member states". Many nations on the interior, such as Kushai, Mogaru, Gorthai, and the Central Korashan Republic, criticized the new forum for only including wealthier coastal nations, rather than seeking to include poorer interior nations that need the developmental aid.

Despite the protestations, between 1899 and 1903 nearly 500 billion Credit Argents worth of developmental aid went to nations in the interior and along the coasts that needed aid in development. Additionally, the Forum partnered with other international organizations such as the Union of Nations and the Avanoran Union to provide millions of Credit Argents in food, medicine, and family planning services to war torn communities.

While these were hailed as successes by many of the organization's supporters, many also felt the organization was ineffective. The left wing in Southern Korasha and the Spice Coast supported membership in the organization, while the right wing political parties saw it as a constraint for the wealthier nations of the continent and a violation of sovereignty. Much of the criticism came from the organization's lack of organization due to a small administrative apparatus and a lack of membership for less developed nations. When the migrant crisis became unmanageable in 1902 and 1903, nations met to discuss the formation of a new organization to help deal with the crisis. An agreement was once again reached and the nations agreed to form the new Korashan Forum beginning in 1905.
