[quote=Europa-Pesarus Protectorate]Preamble:
In order to ensure proper growth conditions, Europa and Pesarus do hereby enter into this treaty of theb protection.
Article I: Peace
Neither signatory may enter any kind of war against the other, be it militarily or in any other way, as this is a violation of this treaty. Doing so immediately will void this treaty.
Article II: Economic Unity
Pesarus agrees to give Europa nations priority over outsiders when it comes to tech deals. This is not a requirement, but is highly recommended, like safety in the 20's.
Article III: Protection
Europa hereby agrees to treat any and all attacks against Pesarus as an attack against Europa itself and deal with them appropriately. If a diplomatic end to the crisis is not likely or practical, Europa will declare a state of war with the offending party.
Article IV: Optional Defense
Should Europa come under attack, Pesarus has the option, but is not required to, defend Europa by any means it sees proper.
Article V: Outside Treaties
Pesarus is allowed to pursue outside treaties as it sees fit; however, at least 24 hours notice of the treaty intentions must be given to Europa before the treaty can go all international and stuff.
Article VI: Cancellation
Should either party decide to go all Kurt Cobain on this treaty, they may do so by giving the other party 72 hours notice. Should Pesarus find it no longer needs protection, this treaty will be terminated and further ties will likely be established.
Article VII: tl;dr
Tl;dr, you touch Pesarus, we're gonna punch you in the !@#$@#$ &#$@.
