[KingEsus]

The three nations of Southern South America have been in private discussions over the last week or so regarding the formulation of a treaty on which they can agree and benefit from. It has become apparent that the three nations share some RP beliefs and priorities, and although at it's core the treaty is a Mutual Defence and Optional Aggression Pact, it goes slightly beyond this is setting our shared aims and objectives for the region, the creation of a free trade zone and permitted movement of citizens within the zone for jobs.

The treaty is now in force.

Quote

The Southern South American Accord.

Preamble
This treaty binds the three major nations of Southern South America (hereby referred to as SSA) into a military and economic agreement with the aim of harnessing the power of said nations for mutual benefit, economic growth and military defence.

Article I - Membership and Sovereignty.

i.1 - The three founding members of this treaty are:

Josh the Great of the Dellian Empire
Fanz Ferdiand of Lubeck
King Esus of the Democratic United Kingdom of Sassain

i.2 - Additional members will have to demonstrate their location within SSA or demonstrate a significant interest in the region. Existing members will vote on membership.

i.3 - The three nations retain their full sovereignty as sovereign entities.

Article II - Principles on which the treaty is based
ii.1 - The signatories share a common interest in the peace, security and prosperity of their region.
ii.2 - The signatories will work to uphold their belief in both the freedom of nations and the freedoms of individual citizens within those nations to movement, political and religious affiliation and economic gain.
ii.3 - The signatories will work to resist imperialism within their region of foreign powers, this includes working to remove colonies and outposts.

Article III - Economic integration
iii.1 - All signatories shall have an open border and free trade policy towards each other. All commercial ports will be made available to all signatories.
iii.2 - Freedom of movement will extend to the peoples of SSA having the right to move between the three territories and work without hindrance.

Article IV - Mutual Defence
iv.1 - All signatories will provide mutual support and defence when required. Intelligence and military information should be shared between signatories. If one signatory is attacked by another nation the other signatories must come to it's aid.
iv.2 - If a member nations is attacked as a result of an aggressive act, even if by way of a seperate treaty, military defence by the other signatories is optional, although humanitarian and other aid should still be provided.
iv.3 - The Signatories of this treaty also agree that their respective military facilities are to be available to each other unless the nature of that base is deemed classified or extremely vital to that signatory's national security.

Article V - Other obligations of signatories
v.1 - If any signatory ceases to exist it lands and territories should go to the other signitories by default.
v.2 - In the event a signatory wishes to withdraw from this treaty they may do so by informing the other treaty signatory. When that occurs the treaty stays active for a further 48 hours and is then nullified.

There is also a separate discussion to involve Nova Imperium within the MDoAP (Articles I, IV and V) but not other parts of this treaty, i will let Nova post to confirm under what circumstances he will be happy to sign.

The treaty is currently in a late draft stage and will be ratified when the three signatories have signed it in this thread. At which time this post will be edited.

Franz turned towards Lugas, "I see of no changes to the treaty that haven't already been scrutinised, so we are fine with how this looks".

U.R.P.R. shows concern over this new bloc's influence in the Antarctic sphere due to Sassain's territorial holdings.

Then please, do get in touch with us using the global messaging system so we can work through any concerns you may have and seek to find common ground given our large land border.

[Centurius]

Oh before I forget.

Signed,
Imperatrix Adalina Flores

[KingEsus]

Josh the great has already agreed to the tect in PM in any case, so this treaty stands, unless he has any major objections.

The only request we have is that 3 is changed to 4 as while we do not sign the whole treaty our Military commitment should give us such notice.

Artice V.1 - If any signatory ceases to exist it lands and territories should go to the other signitories by default.

Transvaal would like to remind and bring to Lübeck's attention that the above clause does not pertain to Lübeck's Comoran Islands territory - which would revert to Transvaal due our prior independance agreement should Lübeck vacate the islands or Lübeck cease to exist .
