Article IV. - Tech-Raiding
The use of tech raiding as a method beneficial to growth has been widely spread, and received, among the members of the Cyberverse. From these intentions, ANZAC Elite deems tech raiding an acceptable practice. It is also realized, however, that devoid of guidelines to govern such a sensitive practice. The following rules must be observed:
Nations residing on Red team are considered off limits from raiding.
Nations bearing an alliance affiliation shall NOT be attacked unless the alliance in question has a member count of 9 or less. Alliances that are a protectorate of another alliance. Any alliance larger than 10 requires the approval of the Four.
Unaligned nations (Alliance=NONE) are considered fair game. If the tech-raid goes bad, ANZAC will not assist member nations militarily or financially. In other words, members will be on their own if a tech-raid goes bad, an we hope you can take as good as you get. And don't !@#$%* an moan to us.
Member nations may only be involved in one offensive war at a time for purposes of tech-raiding
Reparations
ANZAC will not pay reparations to any tech-raid target that meets the previous criteria.
If a nation belonging to an alliance of more than 9 members is assaulted, reparations to the effect of 100% or higher shall be allotted to the victim, along with an immediate peace.
Members who continuously violate the Charter’s guidelines on tech raiding will be subject to member sanctions up to, and including, expulsion and being grinded into the dirt.
Article V. - Espionage
Section 5.01 As other nations consider espionage an Act of War, so does ANZAC. Any alliance that is caught spying on ANZAC will be met with hostile action.
