The Pravus-Columbian Free Trade Agreement is an economic trade agreement signed by the United States of Columbia and Pravus International, as a middle ground following the former's threat to blockade the Corporate Republic of Chicago due to mistrust of the megacorporation. The treaty resulted in Pravus agreeing to provide Columbia with hundreds of thousands of jobs by opening countless factories in the Columbian Industry Belt, and establishing the subsidary Pan-Columbia Industries to oversee the management of the factories in the belt. In return, Columbia granted Pravus and Chicago access to the Mississippi for industrial and trade purposes.
