The Association of North American Nations (Amerikaens: Associasie van Nürdtamerikaens Nasies, Spanish: Asociación de Países de Norteamérica, French: Association des Nations de l'Amérique du Nord, Corean: 북美 國가 련맹) is a political and economic union of seven member states in northern America established in 1951. It was originally a collection of bilateral and multilateral treaties crafted to oppose European influence in northern America.
Today, the organisation aims to ensure the security and political stability of its constituents, maintain a united economic market, enforce monetary regulations, and to propogate legal homogenisation. It is said to have multiple unique characteristics, making it truly sui generis.

Organisation and structure
The Association of North American Nations (ANAN) operates through a hybrid system of supranational and intergovernmental decision-making, and according to the principles of conferral (which says that it should act only within the limits of the competencies conferred on it by the treaties) and of subsidiarity (which says that it should act only where an objective cannot be sufficiently achieved by the member states acting alone).
Generally speaking, the actions of ANAN can be classified into two groups of actions. These two actions are civil actions, while the other actions can be classified under military actions, this is due to ANAN her origins as a defensive alliance. The difference in the type of actions lies in the fact that military actions can be undertaken without a civil agreement, rather they are decided by the military council of ANAN.
Civilian bodies
- Council of the Association of North American Nations (Amerikaens: Raed van Associasie van Nürdtamerikaens Nasies; CANAN) is a collegiate body that defines the overall political direction and priorities of ANAN. It is composed of the heads of state or government of the ANAN member states and the chairman of the council.
- Standardisation Agency (Amerikaens: Standaerdisasieburîl; SAANAN) is one of the largest organizations within ANAN. It is a public standards organization whose mission is to foster the economy of ANAN, foster internal trade and the welfare of the ANAN citizens by providing an efficient infrastructure to interested parties for the development, maintenance and allocation of a coherent set of norms and specifications. This agency thus in essence makes sure the quality across the ANAN adheres to the same standards.
- Bank of North America (Amerikaens: De Nürdtamerikaens Bank; DNB) is the prime component of the ANAN financial system and the North American system of banks (NASB). It is one of the key institutions of ANAN and one of the world's most important banks. The DNB governing council administers foreign exchange reserves of ANAN, engages in foreign exchange operations, provides developmental loans, sustains the ANAN budget and defines the intermediate monetary objective and key interest rates of the core nations. The DNB is governed directly by ANAN law, its capital stock is worth 23 Billion Guilders, and it is owned by all central banks of ANAN member states and shareholders.
- North American Infrastructure Organisation (Amerikaens: De Nürdtamerikaens Infrastructuur Organisatie; NAIO), is a public organization responsible for the standardization, maintenance, development and expansion of the ANAN infrastructure network. The infrastructure network is maintained by ANAN and paid for by tolls, it consists of a transnational road network and a transnational high-speed train network. These networks foster interstate communication, trade and the movement of goods services and people among the members of ANAN.
Martial bodies
- Military Committee (Amerikaens: Nürdtamerikaens Militair Commissie) is the body of ANAN that is composed of the member states Chiefs of Defence (CHOD). Due to ANAN, her original role as a military defensive alliance the ANANMC has certain executive competencies, these include the ability to mobilize ANAN military forces in times of crisis, Aerospace defence for ANAN and control over the ANAN rapid response corps. These competencies and levels of control make the ANANMC a pillar of ANAN.
- North American Command Operations (Amerikaens: Nürdtamerikaens Kommando Operaties; NACO). Is the command responsible for ANAN operations worldwide, this includes ANAN-led peace missions, and joined ANAN maritime battle groups.
- Rapid Response Force (Amerikaens: Reactie Magt; ANANRSF) is a multinational force that consists of permanent military units, that have the goal to respond to rapidly emerging threats to the security of ANAN. This unit is under the sole control of ANANMC, due to its nature of rapid response and continental defence. They consist of the following formations:
- III Amerikaense corps (NNL)
- Strike group 12 (Navy NNL)
- 2nd Armored corps (Mexico)
- 4th Aerospace corps (Mexico)
- 2nd Army group (Tussenland)
- 1st Airborne Regiment (New England)
- 25th Strike command (Tussenland)
In total, the ANANRSF has a strength of 220,000 active duty soldiers, with its reserve capacity being far larger. This has resulted in a permanent ANANRSF force of potentially 990,000 combat capable soldiers, 7 fully capable Air wings, 4 Martime strike groups.
Governance
Budget
Association of North American Nations (ANAN) her budget originates from 3 different income streams. Tolls for the ANAN highway system, contributions from the member states and the ANAN development fund. It is told that on average the ANAN budget is equal to 0.4% of the economy of the ANAN member states. The money is mainly used for ANAN administration, meeting objectives, governance, maintaining facilities and the like.
Governance
Member states retain in principle all powers not conferred by them on the Association of North American Nations (ANAN), through the exact delamination has on many occasions become a subject of scholarly and legal debate. Throughout its history, the ANAN supreme court has managed to expand the powers of the ANAN through the application of case law. The most famous example was ANAN maintaining its independent military command structure.
In certain fields, ANAN has been awarded exclusive competence and mandate. These are areas in which member states have entirely renounced their own capacity to enact legislation. In other areas, ANAN and its member states share the competence to legislate. while both can legislate member states can only legistate to the extent to which the EU has not. In other policy areas, ANAN has a supporting and supplemental fucntion, but cannot legislate with the intent to harmonize national laws. That a particular policy falls into a certain category of competence is not indicative of what legislative produce is used for enacting legislation within that policy area. Different legislative produces are used within the same category of competence. Even within the same policy area, there can be different legislative procedures.
