This article is a work in progress
The Trans-Continental Socialist Confederation, often referred to as the TCSC or just "the Confederation" is a cross-continental political and economical aliance of socialist nations. Mostly connected by land borders, the TCSC utilizes freight trains and cargo caravans to transport goods between nations. These huge locomotives and lengthy caravans boast some of the most heavily armoured and armed vehicles on Errack. Empowering, the TCSC to have the most extensive and interwoven international trainlines across the globe.Progressus per unitatem, unitatem per aequitatem

History
Unification
In a move to reject the ruling oligarchy of the previous centuries, the TCSC was formed after a revolution that took place in multiple nations. The leaders of the revolutionaries formed new governments in their home nations and quickly began to network with their neighbouring nations to form trade deals and border agreements amongst other treaties, solidifying their positions in power.As these networks of various agreements between neighbours grew and there was desire to trade with those futher afield rather than just those whom they shared boders with, the Trans-Continental Socialist Confederation was formed. Without which, such treaties would not work as people and cargo needed to be transported through various nations for said agreements.
Power over land
As a combined industrial power-house, the TCSC project an extensive range of ground-based control thanks to their heavy freight trains, armoured caravans and large numbers of military ground vehicles.Single currency
Adopted by almost every nation in the TCSC, Marks allow member nations to trade goods and services without the need to adjust pricing every time for the current exchange rates. This makes the signing of trade agreements and fluidity of industry much simpler and interconnected, bolstering the Mark as well as bringing the various member nations closer together, unifying the TCSC further. By adopting the Mark, the shared currency helps to increase market competition and efficiency making for a better economy in addition to producing higher quality goods and services for both public and private markets alike.Organisational structure
As a republic the TCSC is led by two heads, two seperate elections are required and this can often lead to a dichotomy of intentions by the Confederation. However, this division of power alows each individual to focus on one job and therefore is significantly more efficient and quicker to respond to the ever changing world.Two heads
No one person holds all of the power. The Trans-Continental Socialist Confederation is governed by two leaders, one who handles the internal affairs of economic policies, laws and governance. The other handles the external affairs of border policing, encouraging collaboration and aiding in the organising of combined military exercises, and keeping open channels with those outside of the TCSC.External Affairs

Interesting approach having two heads of state. It would also be interesting to see how the real power levels out between the two.
