The United Jungle Accords


Preamble
We, the undersigned alliances, as members of the Green Trading Sphere, recognizing our mutual, natural, and undeniable duties to defend, preserve, and support our home and its people, do ordain and establish these Accords for a free and united team, as well as ensure the perpetual bonds of brotherhood between all Green nations and alliances.

First Accord - Commitments to the Green Team
i. The undersigned alliances do agree to refrain from any and all aggressive actions towards one another. This includes the use of spies, both in game and out, against each other, as well as unwarranted sanctions from Senators. If any member state of an undersigned alliance is found in direct violation of this article, the quarrel between all affected parties is expected to be resolved by diplomatic means.
ii. The undersigned alliances do agree to refrain from hindering any nation's or alliance's movement to and from the Green Team.
iii. The undersigned alliances do agree to refrain from forcing any Green nation not under their own jurisdiction to cancel foreign aid or trade agreements.

Second Accord - Senators and Sanctions
i. Any nation residing on the Green Team may run for and obtain the position of Senator.
ii. By obtaining the position of Senator, a nation automatically recognizes its inherent duty to abide by the terms of this Accord, whether it be officially affiliated or not.
iii. Only one member per alliance may run for and obtain the position of Senator. If there should be more than one nation of the same alliance running for Senator, one nation must cease his or her campaign, and set his or her Senate Vote Option to No Votes Allowed.
iv. Senators may only use sanctions on nations unaffiliated with these Accords that pose a severe nuclear threat to another alliance as a rogue nation.
v. Should one of the undersigned alliances find that a Senator is abusing his or her powers, said alliance may initiate a vote between the collective signatories of these Accords to remove said senator. Each signatory receives one vote. Should the undersigned find the Senator in question guilty, by simple majority, said Senator is required to abdicate his position or, should the undersigned wish, be removed by force.

Third Accord - Neutral Alliances
i. Any alliance may, at any time, elect to sign these Accords as a neutral party. The neutrality of said alliance must be declared publicly prior to the admittance process outlined in the Fifth Accord, and said alliance must maintain their own Declaration of Neutrality.
ii. The undersigned alliances do recognize that the intent of any neutral signatory is purely to enhance the economic unity of the Green Team.
iii. Neutral signatories are exempt from the Team Sponsored Protectorates Accord, as well as voting on admissions to the Accords themselves.
iv. Neutral signatories may choose to abstain from any vote, decision, announcement, or conflict stated in these Accords that might otherwise jeopardize their neutrality.
v. Neutral signatories may run for and obtain a senator seat as long as doing so does not conflict with their respective Declarations of Neutrality, and as long as fulfilling the duties of Senator does not conflict with said declarations.

Fourth Accord - Team Sponsored Protectorates
i. Any alliances wishing to enter the team sponsored protectorate agreement must be a declared Green Team alliance, in part or in whole, and must submit a formal request to a signatory of this treaty or be invited by a current signatory. The admission of an alliance to the team sponsored protectorate agreement must be ratified in the form of a two-thirds majority vote by the undersigned.
ii. The undersigned alliances to agree to mutual communication, economic practice, and civility between themselves and the protectorates, as well as mandatory, unilateral defense of said protectorates should they come under attack by a foreign power.
Alliances under the protectorate agreement
iii. agree to adhere to all of the laws of these Accords.
iv. recognize and respect both their sovereignty and political independence, as well as the undersigned alliances.
v. understand that it is the duty of the protectors to help nurture and grow the protectorates, and therefore agree to open economic exchange and agree to consider advice from the undersigned alliances should it be offered.
vi. understand that in the event one of their protectors comes under attack, they have the option to come to their assistance, but are not obligated to do so.

Fifth Accord - Admission and Resignation
i. Any alliance wishing to become a member of these Accords must be a declared Green Team alliance, in part or in whole, and must submit a formal request to a signatory of this treaty or be invited by a current signatory. A representative of a signatory alliance, after receiving the formal request, may request a vote for admission.
ii. The admission of a new signatory into this agreement requires approval in the form of a two-thirds majority vote by the undersigned. In the event a new alliance is granted admission, they must sign, agree to, and abide by these United Jungle Accords.
iii. An undersigned alliance may, at any time, choose to withdraw from these Accords in a peaceful and cordial manner.
iv. This treaty may be dissolved through a vote of unanimous consent by all signatory alliances of this treaty.

Sixth Accord - On the Past
i. All signatories of this treaty fully recognize the need to forever remember and reflect on all past horrors that have occurred on the sphere, in a universal commitment to prevent any of these atrocities from reoccurring. Furthermore, the undersigned do agree to forever embody the loving spirit that created the United Green Legislation, the Sphere of Win Treaty, and these Accords in everything they do.
ii. This Accord is henceforth forever enacted and acknowledged by all signatories unto eternity, even with the resignation from, the amending of, or the termination of these Accords.

This is a moment in the history of the Green Team I have waited for almost two years now. The point at which all of us, every single nation and alliance on this team, could come together again in friendship and brotherhood, like the days of old. Some people just don't understand what it means to us all, those of us who haven spent our lives on this sphere, struggling to keep it the best sphere out there, and so we are again. We are Green, and we will always overcome.

A little over two years ago, the five major alliances of the Jungle came together: /b/, CIS, GGA, GPA, and VE. We united unlike any other team had ever done before. Three sanctioned alliances cooperating for three senate seats, cooperating for the best interest of the entire team. We invented team unity, in the current sense of it. We used to be the Balkans, torn apart by Prodigal Chieftain's selfish greed, yet we overcame that to come together and put the past behind us to cooperate peacefully and in friendship. We established the Green Sanction Council to govern all aspects of the then newly implemented Senate powers. We united in economic unity, and even established the Triple Entente, one of the first MADP blocs of its kind, between the three non-neutral alliances, all of which then became part of the Initiative. We proved that even during Global War the Team would use its Senators for just sanctions, and would not use them as tools of war, effectively establishing that precedent. The United Green Legislation was a milestone in inter-alliance and team politics, but we wouldn't stop there.

For a few months we proved to the world our dominance, culminating with the part joke, part nostalgic, and part completely serious Sphere of Win Treaty, bringing together all of the Green alliances, as well as the major personalities that resided on the team to show how awesome we were. We even petitioned to have our team named the "Sphere of Win" in-game. Haha. The memories.

But then came one of the more tragic events in the history of Cybernations, in the history of the Team: the Green Civil War. Fueled by greed, mistrust, and massive egos on all sides, the Green Civil War tore the team apart. Unity and friendship died to be replaced by hate and violence. All were at fault. Not a single alliance involved was innocent of causing the war to occur. It was all of our fault, and we came to realize it later. The CN community was shocked...how such unity could fail. But you know what? It made us stronger. And in the end, we showed CN we still were the best...

...So ushered in a year of domination and control. VE re-emerged, subjected to the dominance, yet, eventually, an uneasy understanding came to people on both sides of the curtain. These individuals know who they are, and they have been instrumental in our climb back to the top. The unease slowly turned into a desire to reconcile, to reunite, to put the past behind us. In reflection, it deeply saddens me that Bilrow wouldn't stay with us and see that day, though I frankly didn't know it at the time. We all still held back from putting too much trust in the other side. I remember during the first beginnings of the talks, I still deeply resented, maybe even loathed GGA. But that's all behind us now. Somehow, miraculously, we got through it. Through the drive of those like Kyber, Ironchef, Plasmo, Rayvon, Soggy, DerekJones, Grossman, and myself, we somehow came together again to unite the team. I know I am missing people here, and I am deeply sorry that I am. Gramlins left. This was a sad day for the sphere, yet we had managed to scrap together a treaty that the three of us; ArGo, GGA, and VE, could agree on. The deliberations were not without heated arguments and the surfacing of the old wounds, yet, we all recognized we wanted the same thing, a united team, so we pushed through it.

About a year goes by and here we stand, two signatories down to *erges (yeah, it's still a banned word.) and we realize that we are missing somebody. GPA had fallen due to the recklessness of some of its leaders, yet it has stabilized, and we all have realized that it is time to completely free the team. Bob Janova, you can change your signature, we are completely free now. Anyone they wish can run for senate, and every Green alliance is welcome to sign this treaty. Sure, there may be an admission clause, but that is almost a complete formality. And still, we have some more things in the works.

So again we are free; living proof that anyone can put aside past hatred to come together in harmony and unity and friendship. Sometimes I wish that the rest of Planet Bob would take a leaf out of our book, maybe someday they will, but until then we all at least know that we are still the best. We perserviered and we have succeeded.

Hail the Green Team, the Sphere of Win, the Great Jungle: The First to Unite and again the Best. o/

Shane, Kyber, Ironchef, Rayvon, Derek, Plasmo, Soggy, Thomas, Grossman, Duffy, Mike, and everyone else who was instrumental in the creation of these Accords, it was a pleasure working with you to reunite the sphere and regain our greatness. o/

I also want to thank Egore for first giving us the idea of a united team.

They signed something far less neutral than this before, and mostly everyone considered them the bastion of neutrality and order.

Actually, that came long after they signed such legislation.. in fact, it might have been over a year after that.

Anyway, now that we got that predictable line of thought out of the way, who wants Absinthe?

Lol, I just disagree with certain aspects of the treaty; sure limiting who can be elected to senate creates some sort of stablility for signatories, but at the same time your stopping others from being able to pursue their basic right as a nation within their colour sphere. To be honest this is what I think has stopped the Green sphere from being able to advance. It's quite clear that spheres without such policies do better for themselves e.g. Aqua.

Anyone can run for Senate o.O I think you have the wrong treaty, sir. The only restrictions are on how Senators conduct themselves.

What are you talking about? Any green nation can run for senator. Did you even read the treaty? I mean, it's right there for you. "Any nation residing on the Green Team may run for Senate"

I didn't know that meant "Only people we said can run."

This is simply not true. There are still plenty of signatories on the Declaration of Neutrality, and our commitment to Neutrality extends outwardly even to those who have not signed it. It will cease to exist only when we cancel it on our end. I thank you for being concerned but assure you that you have no reason to be.

Which alliances are still on it? I can't think of one that still exists. Regardless, I like considering the GPA neutral, but going out of your way to sign this treaty makes you inherently not...neutral. You make special concessions for green team members meaning you favor them over members of other colors.

To be truely neutral, the only treaty you could possibly have is the DoN.

As for MK out to get the GPA, I just go for whatever's common sense, I don't care who I'm attacking.

How does creating stronger allies imply a decline in anything? The goal of green to prosper and since we are not the only alliance on green it makes sense that we come together to make a strong sphere for us all. Our alliances as a whole are stronger because we work towards the same goals and can put aside past differences and amend the friendships that once were. Green will grow and her alliances along with it.
