The Kolusian Allied Treaty Organisatio is an intergovernmental military alliance between 9 member states – 3 Primary Members and 6 Associated Dependencies. Established during a period of escalating threats from the increasingly erratic Arcadian sphere, the organization is a ratification and expansion upon the preceding KAFTA trade and defence bloc. KATO is a collective security system: its independent member states agree to defend each other against attacks by third parties with no obligation to aid in offensive actions. Prior to the Aeserian Civil War, KATO operated on the perceived threat posed by PAKT.

The alliance remained in place after the dissolution, serving as an attempted counterbalance to Zokesian and UIF power.

KATO formed with five founding members and has added new members three times, most recently the Kroman Meritocracy and the Republic of Diosca following Reconstruction in 2105. In addition, KATO currently recognizes Botang as an aspiring member.
