Afro-Eurasian Security Organization

The Afro-Eurasian Security Organization (AESO) is a Raithan military alliance constituted by Persia and portions of Europe, Central Asia, and Northern Africa. Geographically, it extends between Earth's modern-day Pakistan to Morocco and Turkey, and its member states occupy nearly 14% of the Earth's landmass.

AESO provides what's known on Raitha as a layered collective security system; in addition to demanding retaliation in the event of an aggressive war by non members, AESO treaties contain explicit provisions for mutual defense against subversion, espionage, and political sabotage. The extent of such security guarantees varies for individual nations and depends on, among other factors, defense contributions to AESO's militaries.

AESO was formed in 1480, primarily as a check on Huang Empire (now known as the EMPC), in the wake of its aggressive 15th century campaign of territorial expansion. Classified and unclassified Persian military documents maintain that, through AESO, Persia effectively subsidizes the security of the rest of AESO's members; but the complexity of AESO's treaties mean that it is difficult for Glimpse researchers to verify whether or not it is also designed to expand Persian political influence.
