the Security and Economical Union of Royalist States is an organization devoted to the development of fair, pacific and loyal cooperation and collaboration between royalist States.
Originally, it existed as a separate region, but now, with the merger of the member countries in the World Alliance, I am here to present it as a new organization inside our region.

- THE FOUNDING CHARTER OF SECURS (Treaty of Merlberg):
- PREAMBLE
We affirm our faith in the ideals of the enlightened monarchy and government, as the only way to promote security and prosperity, away from the dangers, violences and suffering caused by all kinds of revolution. We condemn totalitarianism, and especially communism, as an abomination of ideology, and the extreme threat to the future of mankind. We reject totalitarian and anti-monarchical democracy as a source of corruption, destabilization and inexorable erosion of the fundamental and indispensable values which are the foundation of the society itself. We shall promote with all necessary efforts and in all fields the values and principles stated in this preamble and to lead their peoples accordingly. We shall fight against totalitarianism in all its forms, with all our strength as the only way to save humankind. We shall respect and contribute to the development of International Law, and international organisations. We recognize the importance of cooperation, collaboration and integration between all those States which share these ideals.
We agree:

They agree to resolve all their disputes with other Member States under the International Law, by peaceful means in such a manner that international peace and security and justice are not endangered and appealing, if necessary, to the Court of Justice of the Union.
