League of Ordic Communists
Template:Infobox political party The League of Ordic Communists (most commonly known as "Orcom") is an international popular front composed of many ruling and non-ruling communist parties around Ordis. Orcom was founded after a split within the International Socialist League, and was designed to coordinate the actions of its member parties to advance communism globally. At the time of its founding, none of its members ruled any territory, however it soon became the political and economic alliance which now defines the communist bloc in Ordis.
The League's primary institutions are the World Congress and the Council of Deputies. The World Congress meets every three years and drafts policy for the League and it's members. The Council of Deputies contains all of the League's administrative agencies, and carries out the wishes of the World Congress. Seats in the World Congress are assigned proportionally to the member parties, and the Deputies of the Council are elected by the Congress. The Congress rotates host cities, however the Council of Deputies is headquartered in Noskiv, Okranya.
Barriers to trade and travel have been completely abolished among League members. First, the Rio Santo Resolutions in 1983 required member parties to limit tariffs and other trade restrictions, and later the Varjana Resolutions abolished all trade restrictions and declared that travel between the member states "shall not be hindered in any way, except by uniform action of the World Congress." The most recent series of agreements have been labeled the Livka Pacts, passed in 2008 and providing for a more shared defensive network between the states of the ruling member parties. The Pacts have led to increased naval cooperation between the members, and recently it was announced that a coalition of Orcom's ruling member parties would deploy troops to the troubled state of Pyrzykistan, led by Nerotysia.
Containing over 500 million people, the League's combined nominal GDP in 2015 was approximately 20.4 trillion NS dollars. The average HDI of the Union hovered mid-range for most of the twentieth century, as parties from poor states were accepted into the League. However, now it is beginning to lift as economic development occurs in its undeveloped member states. The average Gini score, meanwhile, is strikingly high, and continues to rise despite some cases of extreme inequality. Orcom plays a highly prominent role in Ordic geopolitics, and commands a critical amount of influence in the Ordic League.
