Also, it is my pleasure to announce the following treaty between CIS and BDC. On behalf of CIS, I'd like to say that we are thrilled to be allied to you guys again. It's been great to see the improvements you've undergone since the events of a couple of months ago, and I know you will continue to impress.





Preamble:

The Confederacy of Imperial States (hereafter known as CIS) and the Black Defense Coalition (hereafter known as BDC) come together to declare their ongoing admiration and respect for each other. In recognition of the growing friendship apparent to both, the undersigned hereby sign this treaty and agree to the following:

Article 1: Non-Aggression

1. The undersigned agree we will not treat each other in an aggressive manner either by word or deed. Any such actions are unauthorized and, subsequent to an investigation, the offending nation shall be subject to punishment by the alliance in which the offender is a member in a manner which is agreeable to both alliances.

2. Punishment could consist of any of the following, singly or in any combination of, and including but not limited to; reprimand, reparations, expulsion, sanctions, or military reprisals.

Article 2: Mutual Defense and Optional Aggression

1. Both the CIS and BDC shall come to the support of the other with diplomacy, financial aid, and/or military action in the event either is attacked. The signatory that has been attackedmay request the form of the aid provided in whatever combination is required, or may request that no aid be provided. In case of aggressive action by either signatory help is optional but encouaged.

2. Signatories shall begin providing aid in accordance with Article 2.1 within 48 hours of a request being made.

3. Neither signatory is required to provide assistance should either signatory initiate hostilities as a result of honoring of outside agreements, with a foreign body. Attacks against said signatory resulting from these hostilities are likewise not subject to the requirements of Article 2.1.

4. Article 2.3 does not restrict either signatory from providing aid to the signatory that initiated hostilities. In such cases, the form and amount of any aid provided is at the discretion of the signatory providing the aid.

Article 3: Information Sharing

1. Both alliances are encouraged to share information relating to matters about their alliance in order to foster trust and friendship.

2. Both alliances are encouraged to visit the forums and IRC channels of the other and to have fun.

3. Trades, where appropriate, shall be encouraged but not required.

Article 4: Interpretation

1. Both signatories agree to interpret and enforce this treaty according to the spirit of friendship and trust with which it is signed.

2. In the event of a disagreement on the interpretation or enforcement of this treaty, both signatories shall seek a diplomatic solution within 48 hours.

a) The 48-hour negotiation period shall not take precedence over the 48-hour period specified in Article 2.2, and both shall occur concurrently.

3. If both parties cannot come to an agreement within the 48-hours alloted, this treaty shall be canceled after 48 hours as per Article 5.

Article 5: Cancellation

1. This treaty may be cancelled by either party as a result of:
a) Conflict of interest with other agreements that can not be resolved satisfactorily between the undersigned.
b.) Failure of one signatory to respond to the notification of an incident as required in Article 2.2.

c) Voluntary withdrawal of either signatory.

d) Inability of both signatories to come to an agreement under Article 4

The OP was informative, well thought out, well articulated, and may I say it was perhaps the greatest announcement of this week
