The disadvantage of the Commonwealth of Independent States is that it has no real reason for existence. The C.I.S is a loose association of states formed 8 December 1991 after the Soviet Union fell apart; it was primarily an economic association designed to keep trade flowing between the former USSR republics. Managed by Russia, the C.I.S claims the power to coordinate security, legal systems, and trade, however in 2013-2014 Ukraine and Moldova announced their intentions to leave the C.I.S., with Ukraine looking to join the E.U. and NATO.
