Preamble
In recognition that the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization (hereby known as GATO) and the Viridian Entente (hereby known as VE) agree to an extraordinary friendship and to grow and support each other as time passes.

Article 1 - Non-Aggression
No member nation of either signatory alliance may attack a member nation of the other signatory alliance. Any violation of this will result in immediate reparations equivalent to the damages done. Refusal of the violating nation to pay reparations can result in severe punishment from the alliance they are affiliated with, and the reparations will be paid by another nation of the aggressive alliance. Both alliances also agree to peace between each other until a point in time when this pact is cancelled with just cause.

Article 2 - Optional Defense
In the event of an attack upon one signatory alliance the other signatory body may come to the defense of the attacked alliance. This is optional and encouraged, but not required.

Article 3 - Intelligence
Any information picked up by a signatory of one alliance that may contain information leading to hurt/danger towards to their signatory partner must be given to the government of the partner alliance as soon as the information is picked up. Any other information or intelligence picked up by one signatory alliance may be given to the other signatory government, but there is no obligation in this case and it is completely optional. Any privileged information from this relationship may not be shared without the express consent of both parties.

Article 4 - Aid
If either signatory body is need of financial assistance, the other signatory body is obligated to aid what they can or what is needed to resolve the issue that requires the finances. If the alliance that has received the request for aid does not have the finances to satisfy the partner, they are obligated to aid as much as they can.

Article 5 - Termination
This treaty may be cancelled if one of the articles given in this pact is not met or one of the signatories has done something that shows ill-will towards their partner alliance. Unless both alliances agree to termination, there must be a 48 hour notice of cancellation before the termination takes complete effect.

Conclusion
Both GATO and the VE agree to abide by the terms stated in this treaty. By the signatures placed on this pact, both alliances agree to constitute this into alliance law for both alliances.

Nice treaty name even if optional defense is, at best, an e-lawyer shield.

Nice treaty name even if optional defense is, at best, an e-lawyer shield.

gato and ve have become great friends over the past few months. i guess you can say an odp is a way to signify our friendship up to this point, that it deserves to have some piece of paper linking us together officially. that is not necessarily the limit of our friendship, merely the beginning of what hopefully will be a long and excellent relationship.

Hopefully this treaty will be a stepping stone to a more concrete one.

I remember the Initiative-CoLUEition animosity between VE and GATO so long ago, and this treaty just makes me feel strange.

But, none the less.

Cheers. o/

I'm not sure which looks better the Cake or the Treaty.

My heartfelt congratulations to the treated parties, and my heartfelt condolences to the cake.

Don't worry it didn't suffer. The end was quick.

But you posted an image of it's mangled corpse for all to see.

Sick !@#$%^&*.

Is this better?



A tribute to it's former life.
