    ECOWASball (French and Portuguese:CEDEAO(balle/bola)), officially the Economic Community of West African Statesball, is a reigonal organization of West African countryballs.

    History

    ECOWASball was established on 28 May 1975, with the signing of the Treaty of Lagos, with its stated mission to promote economic integration across the region. Considered one of the pillar regional blocballs of the continent-wide African Economic Communityball (AECball), the stated goal of ECOWASball is to achieve "collective self-sufficiency" for its members by creating a single large trade bloc by building a full economic and trading union.

    ECOWASball also serves as a peacekeeping force in the region, with members occasionally sending joint military forces to intervene in the bloc's members at times of political instability and unrest. In recent years these included interventions in Côte d'Ivoireball in 2003, Liberiaball in 2003, Guinea-Bissauball in 2012, Maliball in 2013, and Gambiaball in 2017.

    Covering a region known as a "coup belt," ECOWASball, since the 1990s, has attempted to defend the region's shift towards democracy against authoritarian attacks. However, it has been cited for weak and ineffective responses in the early 2020s, when three members suffered military coups -- two in Maliball, one attempt in Nigerball, and one in Guineaball.

    Personality

    Although most of the time it is generally happy, ECOWASball is actually controlled by its children, UEMOAball and WAMZball. The two`s personality is very similar, but the former likes French and CFA franc, while the latter likes English and dislikes the CFA franc. This sometimes makes ECOWASball very confused.

    Members

    All members except for Cabo Verdeball are founding members. Also, there are 2 categories that divide the members, Zone A/B, UEMOAball/WAMZball/Neither.

    Zone A

    • Cabo Verdeball (Neither UEMOA nor WAMZ)- Smallest and isolated, and has highest GDP per capita, and had no coup. But is it right that yuo are preparing to halfly leave?
    • Gambiaball (WAMZ) - Another small one that I helped removing the president refusing to step down, Yahya Jammeh.
    • Guineaball (supsended)(WAMZ) - Another military coup? You know what that means...
    • Guinea-Bissauball(UEMOA) - I helped in civil war and endless coups.
    • Liberiaball (WAMZ)- Member that I helped in 2003.
    • Maliball (suspended) (UEMOA) - STOP with the civil war and stop the endless COUPs!!
    • Senegalball (UEMOA) - No coup, and has own type of Jolof rice.
    • Sierra Leoneball (WAMZ)-

    Zone B

    Former Members

    • Mauritaniaball - Enslaver!! As yuo are already in another union, don`t come!

    Future Members

    • Moroccoball - Wants to join, but I don`t think accepting is good.

    UEMOA

    UEMOAball (English:WAEMUball), officially Union économique et monétaire ouest-africaineballe (English: West African Economic and Monetary Unionball), is a reigonal organization of West African countryballs that use the CFA Franc as their currency.

    History

    UEMOAball is an organisation of eight, mainly francophone West African Countryballs within ECOWASball, previously colonies of French West Africaball, that were dominated otherwise by Anglophone heavyweights like Nigeriaball and Ghanaball. It was established to promote economic integration among countryballs that share the CFA franc as a common currency. UEMOAball was created by a Treaty signed at Dakarball, Senegalball, on 10 January 1994, by the heads of state and governments of Beninball, Burkina Fasoball, Côte d'Ivoireball, Maliball, Nigerball, Senegalball, and Togoball. On 2 May 1997, Guinea-Bissauball, a former Portuguese colony, became the organisation's eighth (and only non-francophone) member state.

    Personality

    It has a close-to-identical personality with ECOWASball, like really hating coups and separatism. But UEMOAball likes CFA Franc a lot and somewhat likes French, unlike its parent ECOWASball and its rival WAMZball.

    Members

    All members except for Guinea-Bissauball are founding members. This section divides Zone A and Zone B members.

    Zone A

    • Guinea-Bissauball - I helped in civil war and endless coups.
    • Maliball (suspended) - STOP with the civil war and stop the endless COUPs!!
    • Senegalball - No coup, and has own type of Jolof rice.

    Trivia

    • There are 8 Francophone, 5 Anglophone, and 2 Lusophone countryballs(Currently suspended Maliball, Guineaball and Burkina Fasoball are included; all suspended countryballs are Francophone) in the organization. This largely determines whether a countryball joined UEMOA or WAMZ, provided that all Francophone countryballs except for Guineaball, and Guinea-Bissauball(that is the only non-Francophone in UEMOA) joined UEMOA and all Anglophone countryballs and Guineaball joined WAMZ. Cabo Verdeball joined neither.
    • Will never decide whose Jolof rice in the region is the best.
