The Institute for Central Smalik Affairs (ICSA), founded in 302 AP as the Bowdani Institute for National Affairs, is a socio-cultural organisation that also operates as a think tank and diplomatic academy, and aims to enhance national and international relations on Vexillium, notably those between the successor states of the Republic of Bowdani. After the latter's dissolution in 316, its current name was adopted. All successor states of Bowdani, except Flovaigne, participate in ICSA.

History overview 316 - 323
The dissolution of Bowdani legally created seven new nations: Tak (de facto independent since 308 but only recognised as such in 316), Flovaigne, the Lectern of United Kencari Peoples (LUKP), Coare, Bëltse, Gen, and Vaara. The LUKP was intended to be a mixture of Ingallish and Kencari peoples, but some of the Ingallish (who had been the elite in Bowdani), didn't like sharing power and soon clashes erupted throughout the LUKP.

Already in November 316, before the government of the LUKP even had a chance to assemble, the Free Republic of the Western Shore declared independence. Clashes throughout the LUKP increased for two years, with the government in Sky City barely able to get a grasp. In July 318, the LUKP is severely weakened after a terrorist attack on the Council of Peoples, the LUKP's parliament, which leaves numerous dead and injured.

On 18 October 318, the city of South Watch declared itself independent from the LUKP, taking control of a large chunk in the southwest of the country with it. More nations follow suit, the LUKP is reduced to some territory around Sky City, which succumbs into chaos, and changes its name into The Lectern in 319, before being absorbed by Sarigis in 323.

Most of the new nations stabilise and join a regional organisation for economic cooperation, STOIC (previously known as SUECS).
