Confederation of Independent States

The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) is a regional organization formed in 1991 by former Soviet Union countries to promote cooperation, stability, and economic integration. It functions as a platform for member states to coordinate policies, share resources, and address common concerns, though it does not exist as a unified government. The CIS helps facilitate collaboration on issues like trade, security, and travel, but each country maintains its sovereignty and independence. Overall, it serves as a loose alliance that supports mutual interests among Eurasian nations emerging from the Soviet Union's dissolution.
