The Gulf Union (GU) is a supranational political and economic union of 13 member states established with the intent of fostering cooperation between states located around the Gulf of Kozdenen or connected waterways, comprising a transcontinental region straddling southern Slabland and northeastern Thasusa. The GHaST Network and the Gulf Cenrail Lines are managed by the Gulf Union.

History

The Gulf Union was founded on 4 February 2025 by the five founding members around the Gulf of Kozdenen; Kozdenen, MápabaL, Nošaterçe, R̦ijeləm, and Sofao Tâsi; when they signed the founding treaty. On 7 February 2025, invitations were sent to the governments of Enkavak, i Êpcêm Mûn-nan, Imerchal and the Kingdom of Kyaw Cen due to being nearby countries in southern Slabland with economic interests in the Gulf region, all of which accepted the invitation in the days after.

The workings of the union are dictated by the founding treaty.
