SovECON was founded 2995 by Milo of the former IND Commonwealth. He ran the organisation until the dissolution of his state in 3021. The leadership position was passed onto the USSR by Ms. Emily (as chairperson) until 3027 when it came until the jurisdiction of the newly formed Finance Bureau. It remained under the supervision of Ringo for nearly 50 years before a series of others took the post. The membership grew very slowly as many of the members of the common market had been Soviet Federation members for some time before joining the organisation. Transition for some countries, in particular Mirabel Soviet Republic, the Soviet Republic of Westam, and People's Republic of Rezalan was difficult, causing some short-term economic damage.
