New Carnoly Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) Almost 3 years ago the North Atlantic Defense Coalition and The Templar Knights signed a PIAT as a basis of friendship in the hopes to increase relations over time. The 3 years have been a very wonderful three years of getting to know each other and now I am glad to announce that our increased relations have been put on paper. Without further ado I present you The GUARD Treaty: [center][quote][img]http://www.secondwindprojects.com/nadc/images/nadc-ttk-mdp.png[/img] [color="#0000FF"]The GUARD Treaty[/color] [color="#8B0000"]An NADC- TTK MDP[/color] The North Atlantic Defense Coalition and the The Templar Knights hereby commit to uphold the following principles of nonaggression, respect,and defense outlined in this Mutual Defense Pact. [b]Preamble[/b] This treaty is signed in good faith, and is based upon the noble ideals of friendship, cooperation,and protection common to all of us.It is signed not only in the pursuit of peace, which many times becomes stagnant, but in the hopes that both signatory alliances will work together to actively pursue a better future by guaranteeing their security.In the signing of this treaty, it must be clear that both organizations and their members will remain sovereign. [b]I. Friendship[/b] The signatory alliances and their members will treat each other withas much respect and decency as they would their own members. Signatories will show tact and consideration when addressing any grievances, namely by making full use of proper diplomatic channels. [b]II. Non-Aggression[/b] No member nation of either alliance will declare war on any member nation of the other, provide aid (be it military, money, technology,or knowledge) to enemies of the other,or commit acts of espionage against the other. [b]III. Mutual Defense[/b] In the signing of this pact, both sides agree to defend and aid one another in times of war when requested by the other signatory alliance.Should either of the signatory alliances be attacked by another power, the other is required to come to to its assistance with its full strength and resources. To request assistance in a time of war, the alliance which isin need must first send a request to the other signatory alliance.That alliance then has seventy-two hours,or three days, to fully prepare for the shift from peace to war for maximum war efficiency.The options of termination outlined in Article VI are still available even after assistance is requested and granted. If one alliance commits a warranted act of aggression and requests assistance from the other signatory alliance, that alliance isnot required to grant the request.However, the other signatory is still highly encouraged to offer their assistance.Let it be known that this treaty provides all signatories with full legal justification to enter a conflict that concerns the other,if they so choose. [b]IV. Automatic Upgrade[/b] In the signing of this pact, both sides agree to continue increase relations as time progresses, and by signing this pact both sides agree that after a period of six months after the original pact is signed it will be automatically upgraded to include an "Optional Aggression Clause." The Optional Aggression Clause will entail the following: [quote]Optional Aggression Clause: In the event that one Party requires assistance in an aggressive war against a Non-Signatory Alliance, both Parties are encouraged but not obligated to assist the other by means of political, financial, and military aid. This treaty provides both signatories with full legal justification to enter a conflict that concerns the other, if they so choose. [/quote] If either signatory wishes not to automatically upgrade with the Optional Aggression Clause they may block the automatic upgrade, resulting in the continuation of the Mutual Defense Pact without the addition the Optional Aggression Clause. If either signatory wishes to block the automatic upgrade, they must inform the other party at least seventy-two hours before the upgrade would automatically occur. [b]V. Membership Exchange[/b] Members of the two signatories are encourage to engage in a "culture swap" where five trusted members of good-standing from each alliance are allowed full membership-level access to each others forums for the purpose of establishing a good rapport and comradely to these otherwise independent military entities. [b]VI. Withdrawal[/b] If either signatory alliance feels that this treaty has been unjustly violated and resulting diplomatic negotiations have not offered any sort of resolution, they have the right to withdraw from the treaty by the express will of their respective decision making bodies.Notification of withdrawal must be given to the other signatory within forty-eight hours.Shouldthis treaty be revoked by either alliance, a twenty-four hour grace period begins in which neither alliance may declare war on the other, after which no such rules will apply.
