The Egalitarian Knights Treaty

Preamble
The alliances of the International (INT) and the Knights of Cydonia (KoC) hereby agree to solidify their ties in current optional defense pact.

Article 1: Non Aggression
All forms of in-game aggression between the members of INT and KoC are deemed illegal. This includes, but is not limited to, sanctions, war declarations, aiding nations at war with either alliance, and all forms of espionage, whether in-game or out. Publical flaming of the opposite parties on the Open World Forum is not tolerated, any disagreements or queries are expected to be settled in private. Should INT or KoC feel a member of either alliance has broken these terms, a cessation in hostilities is to be sought and, if judged necessary, reparations are to be paid.

Article 2: Comradeship and Respect
Both KoC and INT recognise the foundations of comradeship and respect between the two parties.

Article 3: Communication
Both INT and KoC pledge to keep their lines of communication open to the other. Diplomats are expected to sign on the other alliances forums, where they will be treated in spirit of comradeship.

Article 4: Information
Both KoC and INT agree that, should one party come into possession of information concerning the safety or standing of the other by any means, in game or out, they are bound to share it with the other party via private channels.

Article 4: Optional Defense
INT and KoC agree to be bound together in times of war and peace. During wartime either alliance may assist or request assistance from the other by economic or military means, but this is not mandatory and is not expected to be treated as such.

Article 5: Termination
A breach of any of the terms listed above is grounds for this treaty's termination, but is not required. Either party may choose to terminate this ODP for any reason. Both parties have forty-eight (48) hours after the declaration of either party's desire for the treaty's cancellation before this treaty will cease to be in effect. All terms within will continue up until that deadline.
