The Pact Worlds Alliance
The Pact Worlds is a collection of independent governments and associations within the Pact Worlds system, bound together for mutual protection and trade. It was formed in 41 AG by the Absalom Pact in response to the Veskarium's aggression toward the Golarion System, and has continued for more than 250 years to provide mutual protection from hostile forces, and facilitate interplanetary trade and law enforcement.
Structure
All planets in the Pact Worlds system are members, though not all are considered full members with voting representatives. With few exceptions, such as independent Arkanen, moons are considered part of their parent planet. Planets and bodies with limited civilization, such as Aucturn and Liavara, are considered protectorates with non-voting representatives and limited autonomy.
Likewise, some non-planets have gained full member status, such as Absalom Station, one of the Pact's founding members, and the kasathan worldship Idari.
Corporations and religious organizations are not full members, but many actively lobby and advocate their causes to voting members.[3] The Aspis Consortium is a unique exception to this restriction; the Pact Worlds government granted the Aspis Consortium status approaching that of a Pact World in thanks to the organizations for actions when the Swarm first attacked the Pact Worlds.[4] Though not allowed to vote, the Consortium is recognized as a self-governing entity, its holdings on various worlds seen as embassies and its agents largely granted diplomatic immunity within other worlds' jurisdictions.
The following list details the current membership or protectorate status of entities in the Pact World organization. Unless otherwise noted, a planet's moons are considered an extension of the planet.

History
The Pact was created five years after the Battle of Aledra, a vesk ambush of the Triaxian city of Aledra. Concerned that the disparate worlds of the Golarion System could not defend itself against the Veskarium, officials from Absalom Station, Castrovel, and Verces proposed a system-wide alliance based on Verces's multilateral Ring of Nations government. To the surprise of many, it was not logical Aballon or pacifist Bretheda that signed up first, but the mistrusted undead planet of Eox who quickly agreed to the plan, and the remaining worlds soon fell in line. Backed by the military power of the bone sages of Eox and supported by the financial and religious power of the churches of Abadar and Iomedae, the coalition quickly grew to encompass the entire system in the course of a few short years.

Currency
Credits are a common currency instrument used throughout the Pact Worlds and among other groups that trade with them. Credits are often managed and exchanged using credsticks. The credit used by the Pact Worlds is based on the economic utility of one UPB, and are sometimes used interchangeably.
Universal polymer bases, also known as UPBs, are units of flexible crafting materials also used as physical currency in locations where credits are either uncommon or undesired.
