Human Speedbump explains "The Great Western Collapse" and how it lead to the creation of the O.E.C.D. :

--On November 12, 2013 the United States experienced the worst economic crisis in country history. Both the DOW and NASDAQ markets crashed to near unimaginable lows as hundreds of businesses across the country went bankrupt. The effects of the market crash rippled throughout much of the globe, leading the FTSE(UK) to crash on November 13th, followed closely by the CAC (France), DAX (Germany), and Nikkei (Japan) collapses in the weeks to follow. This catastrophic economic failure would become known as "The Western Collapse".

--On November 27th, 2013 representatives from a multitude of Western Nations, including the U.S., U.K., Canada, the entire European Union and other countries effected by "The Western Collapse" gathered at Seine Crossing to discuss a solution to their problems. It was at this meeting that the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, or O.E.C.D. for short was formed. The O.E.C.D. would be composed of representatives of all member nations, and would regulate the economic growth of all nations within the groups jurisdiction. Under the O.E.C.D. all member nations would share a unified treasury, and all economic growth, via tax or otherwise, would be split among all member nations until stability could be restored, and the O.E.C.D. was no longer needed. While never quite saying so on paper, the O.E.C.D. had unofficially become the most powerful political entity on the planet, with influence on more than 20 member countries.

--Unharmed by "The Western Collapse," Eastern markets continued to thrive. Russian, Chinese, Indian, and Arabic markets so huge jumps as the few surviving Western Corporations continued to outsource their businesses as much as possible to protect their already dwindling profits. In under a week, many Eastern Nations had more than doubled their treasuries, while most Western Nations remained in the red. In the wake the sudden financial growth, Russia formed strong bonds with Iran, by buying up the oil fields abandoned by Western Investors following the collapse.

--Many Eastern Nations were also invited to join the O.E.C.D. Most, however, thought little of helping to save a failing Western culture. Most Eastern Nations viewed "The Western Collapse" as far more of a blessing than a problem, with unemployment at an all time low, exports at an all time high, and profits soaring they had little reason to assist the O.E.C.D.
