Founded in 2008 in response to the Northern Defense Coalition, EACP is a coalition of far eastern nations whose stated purpose is to, "provide economic security for the mutual interest of the Far East." The organization has been dubbed by many, "a Chinese Warsaw Pact," though in truth the EACP and NDC are much more cooperative than the Warsaw pact was with NATO. In reality the organization was created in response to what some have called the discriminatory polices towards the Southern World in favor of the North. The NDC has refuted this claim by the EACP, reaffirming that they were, and still are completely eligible to Join the NDC as observer states, as they lie in the northern hemisphere.
