International Asian Union

The International Asian Union (IAU) is a geo-political and economic union of five countries located in Asia, which was formed on 16 May 2012 by New Brunton, Okatabawashi, Hong Kong and Hoshisora originally founded as East Asian Union.

History
The IAU was originally founded as East Asian Union (EAU) with by four countries, New Brunton, Okatabawashi, Hong Kong and Hoshisora. However due to the departure of New Brunton from AIN on 03 June 2012, the EAU didn't go any further.

When Atarashima joined the AIN on 21 July 2012, the founding members saw this as a chance to relaunch EAU. A month later after Atarashima joined the AIN, it was granted a member of the EAU.

Relaunch as IAU
In September, the EAU relaunched as International Asian Union (IAU), so it could broaden its relationships with not only East Asian countries but all of Asia. That month, Karasem was also granted a member of the IAU as the only South East Asian member in the union.

IAU Economic Leaders' Gatherings
Since its formation in 2012, IAU will have IAU Economic Leaders' Gatherings approximately every 3 months and will be held in a host city from a member of the union. The first gathering that will take place is in December 2012 in the Atarashima. Each member's head of state are expected to attend every gathering. The IAU Economic Leaders' Gatherings are not called summits.
