The Alliance of Fuel Developing and Exporting States (AFDES) is a union of sovereign states that aims to increase economic and political cooperation between members, promote new forms of energy and other technological developments, coexist in a peaceful way with other states, and to explore frontiers in outer space.
AFDES is governed by the AFDES Charter which was ratified on May 21, 2009. There are also AFDES Resolutions, which compose the ordinary laws of the Alliance. AFDES is involved in many programs, including the AFDES Space Program, and is involved into research into Agonite fusion, a new type of nuclear fusion that can deliver over 40% more power than conventional fusion.
The Alliance is also involved in economic initiatives, including the AFDES Central Bank, which controls the AFDES Fund, a fund of voluntary donations used to finance projects of member states, and the opt-in AFDES currency, the Astrum. Each currency unit is redeemable for one-twentieth of one gram of gold, making it unique among major world currencies as the only one with a commodity backing, and thus a stable value.
AFDES has, in its short history, confronted many challenges, improved the economies of members, and has solidified an alliance between members in all areas: politically, economically, and socially.
