On October 21, 2016, The Dominion of Monpiterre proposed the formation of a regional organisation of the small island states of the region of Forest. This union, known as the Organisation of Forestian Island Nations (OFIN), aims to:
- Advance the interests of Islands on the World Stage, such as the threat of Sea-Level rise;
- Promote cooperation between its member nations;
- Establish free-trade areas between its member nations;
- Co-ordinate economic relations among its member nations;
- Co-ordinate political and international relations among its member nations;
- Support its member nations economically and culturally, working to develop and improve them; and
- Provide for the common defense of its member nations.
Currently, the OFIN has four member nations:
