[center][font="Georgia"][size=6][b]A Joint Announcement from Athens and FIRE[/b][/size][/font][/center]

[center][size=5][font=georgia][color=red][b]A Treaty Forged by Hephaestus[/b][/color][/font][/size][/center]
[center][size=4][b]A Mutual Defense & Optional Aggression Pact between [color=aqua]Athens[/color] and [color=red]FIRE[/color][/b][/size][/center]

[quote][color=red][b]Preamble[/b][/color]

Athens and FIRE, wishing to solidify our long standing relationship and in the interest of mutual security and prosperity, hereby agree, in good faith, to all the terms and obligations set out in this treaty of Mutual Defence and Optional Aggression.

[color=red][b]Article 1: Sovereignty[/b][/color]

Both alliances shall remain sovereign and independent entities at all times and agree to never knowingly interfere in the internal and external affairs of another. Any overt or malicious violations of this article may result in the immediate cancellation of these accords by the affected party.

[color=red][b]Article 2: Non Aggression[/b][/color]

Both parties agree to enter into a state of non aggression with one another for the entire duration of these accords and agree to never conspire or commit acts of espionage against one another. Both parties agree to never give any form of aid or assistance to an alliance or individual that a signatory of this treaty is militarily engaged with. Any overt or malicious violations of this article may result in immediate cancellation of these accords by the affected party.

[color=red][b]Article 3: Intelligence[/b][/color]

Both parties agree to share any and all information pertaining to the safety and stability of one another. Any information passed shall be kept confidential and not shared with any third parties unless explicit permission is given in order to do so.

[color=red][b]Article 4: Respect[/b][/color]

Both parties recognize that in order for our friendship to remain strong, we must respect each other at all times in public domains, and agree to never troll or flame each other’s allies. We both agree to settle any disputes in private, in a calm and dignified manner.

[color=red][b]Article 5: Mutual Defence and Optional Aggression [/b][/color]

An attack on a signatory of this treaty is an attack on the other and will be treated as such. This article is subject to a non chaining clause which is stated below. If one signatory goes to war against a third party, the other signatory has the option to join them if they feel the cause is just but have no obligation to do so.


Non chaining clause: If either signatory is attacked due to honouring a military treaty that they share with a foreign alliance, mutual defence is no longer mandatory, but an option. Both alliances advocate enacting the option, but understand that there is the possibility that the other may choose not to enact the option, for whatever reason, and that decision will be supported by the other signatory, regardless.

[color=red][b]Article 6: Cancellation[/b][/color]

This treaty may be cancelled at any time by either signatory. The cancelling party must give the other signatory a private 72 hour notice of their intent to cancel these accords. These accords shall remain in effect until this time period passes, at which point, it shall be declared officially null and void.

Should Articles 1 or 2 be violated, with no chance of a diplomatic resolution that allows for continuation of these accords, this treaty may be cancelled immediately by the affected signatory thereby releasing both signatories from all the terms and obligations set out in this document at the moment cancellation notice is given.

It is.

The United Front is becoming FIRE with some GATO additions and a few other peeps.

We'll see how 2.0 turns out. Wish my old friends luck in this.

Don't you think there could have been a better choice, like CoJ? I'm scared you might just get absorbed by Athens.

This protection is temporary. There will be another announcement later on tonight.

Crap. Busted already. :P

It's been great getting to know FIRE and I foresee a great future together as treaty partners.

This whole process has been long in the works. Glad to see FIRE finally spontaneous combust onto the scene.

Love you guys immensely. Here is to a long and fruitful relationship.
