Fernando12 Posted July 17, 2009 Report Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) United States of CN - Declaration of Existence Greetings to all, The nations of the United States of CN Alliance, choose to announce our Declaration of Existence today not because it is easy to form and sustain an alliance, but because it is hard. Because this goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our ideals and principles. Because this challenge is one that we are willing to accept and one that we are unwilling to postpone. And an endeavor in which we will always strive to persevere. To all the members of New Polar Order, We thank you for standing with us here today. We appreciate the opportunity and will strive to honor and broaden this new friendship. To those nations that wish to join USCN in our efforts, There is much work to be done, but our cause is just and will endure. Our hopes of growth, security, and friendship for this alliance will live in us each and every day. And the dream to become one of the most respected, influential, and powerful alliances shall never die. To those alliances and unaligned nations that reach out to us in friendship, We pray that what we hope for our alliance, will someday come to pass for all Cybernations. To those alliances and unaligned nations that would make us their adversaries, We will use all avenues of diplomacy to maintain a peaceful and civil dialogue. But let all nations know that at every moment we will stand up for our ideals and our allies. So let us begin this great journey as friends. All are welcome to chat on IRC #uscn on Coldfront and to establish diplomatic relations with the United States of CN here: USCN EDIT: Official Flag Now Complete The Charter of the United States of CN Article I.

New Polar Order - United States of CN Protectorate Agreement Preamble: This pact is for the initial period of one month from the 18th July 2009. It will be assessed for renewal after three weeks. Article I: The Basics Due to the bond that exists between the signatories, member nations of each signatory will show respect and good will towards each other. While this will prohibit outright verbal hostility in all its forms in public forums, it will not restrict healthy debate or productive disagreement. Should this article ever be infringed upon, it is the duty of the respective alliance leaders to alert the other alliance. Article II: Espionage Both signatories share an abhorrence for the practice of spying in all its forms. As such, they pledge not to conduct or aid any espionage, and to immediately inform the other signatory if any plot be discovered. In addition to this, the protectorate pledges to report any and all discovered incidents of spying against anyone or organisation to the New Polar Order. Article III: Aid Should either signatory come into a need for aid in the form of currency, technology, or soldiers, it is strongly encouraged for the other signatory to provide what help it can, though both parties accept that this is in no way an obligation. Article IV: Intelligence If either signatory comes into knowledge of political or military significance to the other through a means not outlined in Article II it is their obligation to share it with the other signatory. Article V: Conflict The New Polar Order fully commits itself to the defence of its protectorate through direct military action as well as, though not limited to, financial and political means. Should the New Polar Order come under attack, it is strongly encouraged that the protectorate comes to their defence, though it is understood by both signatories that this is not an obligation. Should either signatory find itself in the need for waging an aggressive war, let it come to no ones surprise if the other signatory, who is not in any means under an obligation, chooses to support them through military, political or financial means. Article VI: Advisor In an effort to help improve the stability and security of the Protectorate, the Emperor of the New Polar Order is well within his rights to appoint a member of the Polar Body Republic to act as an Advisor to them. While the Advisor will have unfettered access within the protectorate, and a veto power over any treaty or merger offers, it's primary goal is to serve as a general counsel to the leadership of the protectorate. Article VII: Technology In an effort to foster mutual economic growth the Protectorate agrees to focus all external technology sales to the New Polar Order. In return, the New Polar Order will offer assistance and advice to maximise economic growth. Article VIII: The End It is the hope of both signatories that this pact may someday be ended by mutual agreement that the protectorate is able to stand on its own without further Polar support. But, given the uncertainties of the future, it is recognized that should any of the above Articles be violated, or should some major irreparable disagreement that diplomacy cannot solve arise, that this pact maybe cancelled after 5 days notice.
