Congratulations on getting yourself the best protector on Planet Bob!
o/ OoJ!
o/ NV!
-
In addition to the many thanks for the kind wishes offered here, may I offer a special thanks to Nemhauser and Isolde for their work on this treaty, and of course our own Elfriede Riotte, whose tireless efforts are entirely responsible from our end for anything good in our FA.

In the brief five months since the Republic of Aquisgrana published our Declaration of Existence, we have again and again been overwhelmed by the generosity of spirit that others have shown to us. Excepting our former protector, Nueva Vida, none has excelled in this regard as has Nordreich, who have been our allies and friends since our beginning.
Nordreich never ceases to be an inspiration to us in their unfailing decency and good sense and their adamant refusal to let the past stand in the way of a better future for all. Leading by their sterling example, Nordreich has taught us what it means to be true comrades through everything.
With no further ado, it is my profound honor to announce to you the
TREATY OF NIDAROS.
PREAMBLE
Mutual Defense and Optional Aggression Pact between Nordreich and the Republic of Aquisgrana, entered into this 24th day of November 2009.
By this treaty, signed in good faith, and based upon the noble ideals of camaraderie and cooperation common to both signatory alliances, Nordreich and the Republic of Aquisgrana affirm their ties in mutual cooperation and defense.
ARTICLE I
NON-AGGRESSION
In-game aggression between the members of the Republic of Aquisgrana and Nordreich is strictly forbidden. In-game aggression includes, but is not limited to: sanctions, war declarations, furnishing aid to nations or alliances at war with either signatory alliance, and any form of espionage, whether in-game or otherwise.
ARTICLE II
FRIENDSHIP AND RESPECT
Nordreich and the Republic of Aquisgrana recognize the strong bonds and mutual respect between their alliances, united by a spirit of amity, and recognize their duty to maintain and build on these relations. The signatories hereto further agree to refrain from any public criticism of the other signatory or members of the respective signatory alliances.
Any violation of this Article II and the preceding Article I will be addressed in private channels in a spirit of mutual respect and cooperation.
ARTICLE III
COMMUNICATION
The Republic of Aquisgrana and Nordreich pledge to maintain open communications with each other.

MUTUAL DEFENSE
A. The Republic of Aquisgrana and Nordreich are bound together in times of war and peace. A direct attack upon one signatory of this treaty is hereby to be deemed a declaration of war on the other, and full military political and economic assistance shall be given in the common defense.
B. The foregoing notwithstanding, attacks upon either signatory hereto resulting from defensive obligations shall not be construed as a “direct attack” under this clause, but shall be governed by Article VI, below.

AGGRESSION AND AID
Neither alliance is obliged to partake in assistance in wars of aggression on the part of the other, either by providing aid or military assistance, yet are encouraged to provide support when needed. Additionally, the party engaging in an act of aggression may request that the other party remain out of any conflict as they see fit.

What if we're Jewish?
Santa doesn't come to visit us. (The fat !@#$%^&!)

Considering the treaty web, and the fact that big wars with big names will inevitably draw in alliances who have no business being there, I'm fairly confident in saying this thing would have been global.
You may be right, but on the other hand, don't people say that every time?
The issue between STA and Kronos was pretty boring in my opinion. A war would be nice sooner or later, but personally I'd much rather it stem from something that is interesting.Hear, hear! Jack Diorno took the words out of my mouth.

It is large. I am perplexed, but in a good way.
Very nice looking government - congratulations to all!
And...
Alfred von Tirpitz!

This is good, though it is sad that TOP's earlier deal was rejected. People are crazy, no?
But o/ TOP for trying.
o/ STA just for being great.
-
Congratulations and good luck, guys!
-
Heia Nordland!
This is spectacular, I couldn't approve more.
I am loving the announcement, loving the clarification, loving the flag, also loving the quote in Flinders' sig, and most of all loving Nordreich!
-
Never mind.

This is a beautiful thing. We, along with TGE, have your back.

Super-duper sexy with extra mushrooms!

On behalf of the Republic of Aquisgrana, I thank everyone who has worked so hard to make this happen, especially our friends in Nueva Vida, 1 Touch Football, and the Grand Lodge of Freemasons.
In addition, there is one person without whom none of this would have happened, our beautiful and charming Minister of Foreign Affairs, Elfriede Riotte (alias "nosoup4u"). She has my eternal gratitude for her infinite patience and absolutely unfailing skill at Foreign Affairs.
We are grateful to Hizzy and Nelchael and all our friends in Nueva Vida (like karthking) for everything they have done for us, but above all, for their unflagging friendship and indispensable support for us from before we even existed.
Thank you everyone. We are honored to be among such fine people.

Congratulations to all, especially Daggarz!

PS. Where you been, Dagz?

Shouldn't it be:

That's freaking

Congratulations, Princess Victoria! You will do a fine job, I am quite certain.
A very wise choice, Your Imperial Majesty!
On my own behalf, and on behalf of RoA, I wish you and TGE all the best.
o/ Emperor Frederick II!
o/ Princess Victoria!
o/ TGE!

I am (for once), without words. This is a very sad day, indeed.
I owe you a lot, and will always be grateful to you. You never failed to inspire TGE and, incidentally, make a heck of a great OWF post.
As for RL, I have occasion to mention again one of my favorite quotes (not from the Maharishi, but close): "In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself."
Best of luck to you in all things, and of course, you always know where to find me, my friend.
-
Well done! Nice announcement, too.
-
Vanguard are a fine and upstanding bunch, I can't see why anyone would want to criticize them so.
-
This is good to see! Keep up the good work!
-
I'm digging the flag! It's

Congrats and good luck to you!

Congrats to all involved!
o/ TFD!
