Greetings peoples of Planet Bob, over the last few eons, a few alliances have examined how others have been dealing with tech raids and women across the cyberverse. Tech raiding has long been a wonderfully spirited discussion among many different parties. The signatories of this pact have decided that through our tech deals with raiding nations, we were directly supporting tech raiding. We have come to realize that for us, this is acceptable. Some of us have also decided that we should try to help raid women when possible.

We the undersigned hereby do decree:
ARTICLE I: Purpose
*A joint declaration of the belief that war maneuvers conducted against unaligned nations is a valid exercise and use of the ability of nation ruler to engage in such a conflict.
ARTICLE II: Conduct
*A mutual commitment among the treaty alliance parties to promote this right to their utmost abilities, ensuring the freedom of those nations to do as they please without consequence from uninvolved parties, via diplomacy, tech deals, and otherwise. Tech deals should be encouraged among raiders to keep low-level raiders from becoming "bloated" with technology that is unnecessary at such levels, thereby strengthening the ties of the alliances involved and the alliances themselves.
ARTICLE III: Raid Aggressor Assistance
*An optional agreement to come to the aid of aligned nations that are the victims of bullying by alliances that are too pathetic to tech raid. This kind of bullying is vulturous and egregiously despicable and should be dealt with in a way that allows the participants in the war to continue their maneuvers without interference and further does no detriment to the alliance of the aggressor nor the alliance of the aggrieved in question.
*If any nation requests the assistance of a signatory to help keep uninvolved parties out of their maneuvers, this assistance can only be rendered if:
A. The target of the aggressor is a valid target as defined in the Charter or Constitution of the alliance of the aggressor as well as the Charter or Constitution of the signatory from which help is requested.
B. The aggressor has already flaunted his actions at Vilien, leader of The Moralist Front.
* Any signatory can implement this article at its discretion.
ARTICLE IV: Sovereignty
*A recognition of sovereignty between the signed alliances. If a nation in any of the signed alliances violates any of the previous points they shall be handled at the discretion of the alliance.
ARTICLE V: Withdrawal
*Failure to properly uphold the rules outlined in Articles I-IV to the best of each signed alliance's ability will be recognized as a formal withdrawal by the other signatory alliances.
*A Notice of Withdrawal is required by any alliance that wishes to formally withdraw from the pact 48 hours before formally withdrawing from the pact.
