International policing system

The "International Policing System", or IPS, is the Persian term for Raitha's unique protocols for enforcement of international treaties and laws, established in 1546 to support the compute restrictions treaties and later expanded to support a global legislative body and geographically independent police force. In exchange for security, continued economic relations, and political influence, most of Raitha's nations stay fully compliant with international law (with the notable partial exception of the Commonwealth of Antarctica, which is not an active member of the international community and keeps its own set of minimized compliance standards).

Near-unanimous consent to the IPS is managed through a complex, partially classified game-theoretic calculus that ultimately relies on the joint threat of forced regime change and nuclear deterrence from the only two nuclear-armed Raithan states, the Persian territories and the EMPC. Basic voting rights of members are explicitly and procedurally weighted by a system that incorporates floating market-estimates of military power. Wars due to noncompliance are relatively rare, but recur at a base rate of about one per twenty years as demographic and technological change increase the uncertainty of such estimates to unstable levels.

The requirement of (martially) unanimous assent to pass new laws under the IPS make it only very rarely a source of economic regulation. Its largest body of law is devoted to preventing the worst eugenics-motivated human rights abuses that occurred in Raitha during the late 16th century without upsetting the counterfactual balance of power. Its second largest body of law is devoted to preventing R&D of technologies that member states believe pose existential threats to either the themselves or Raithan humanity.

The modal prediction by Persian markets for the next IPS infraction war, as of glimpse time, was 1657.

History of the IPS
The Persian territories first successful nuclear weapons tests happened in 1521. The existence of multiple nuclear armed states, and the open and calculated flouting of the EMPC's nuclear threats by Persia, led to Raitha's first formal international nuclear nonproliferation treaty that same year. Additionally, the failure of the EMPC to deter Persia from developing nuclear weapons also paved the way for its initial reforms toward market driven foreign policy and away from direct imperial rule, which in turn set the groundwork for more complex diplomatic relations between the EMPC and the Persian territories.
