NATO needs blue areas in France - 3.6mil NS.

While this is very sad to see our allies NSO loose a friend in this troubled time, I'd like to let everyone who has queried us on IRC about this to know that NATO is not GATO. Thank you. o/ NSO

We'll always be grateful to the assistance we received from GUN during the last conflict. They've been great friends for a very long time, and I'm sad to see them go.

Still love ya, Valhalla, even if we're no longer treatied. You are one awesome group of people.

NATO is [i]always[/i] France on any kind of map like this I've seen.

[quote name='Duncan King' timestamp='1280551642' post='2395730'] NATO almost went to war with Grey Council over theirs. It's "Peace through superior firepower." I'm not too fond of that or TFD's they're a bit generic. TFD's is Security – Knowledge – Friendship . [/quote] I've always liked NATO's for the nostalgia triggers. I suppose if I were going to run off and make my own alliance, I'd go Latin route like you did, DK. "Per aspera ad astra".

Hail RoK! Grats on the new gov! Lineup is hawt, but would be hawter with Alfred. =P

Karma's over?! Oh, and Tautology for that clever bit.

[quote name='ironchef' date='18 July 2010 - 02:51 PM' timestamp='1279489889' post='2377817'] Reading it wrong. Looks like what was said is [b]'We are ready to cut the fat and just keep the meat'[/b] [/quote] Well I should would hope not. Warrior and Shah I realize we've been acting like jilted lovers...but that's what it feels like, gosh darn it.

[quote name='bcndwilson' date='18 July 2010 - 12:21 PM' timestamp='1279480896' post='2377596'] I am sorry that you feel like our relationship meant so little to us, NATO was always a good friend to IRON and this cancellation was not meant as an end a friendship but the start of a new path for IRON in this new world. This was a decision I can assure you was made with heavy hearts. [/quote] I don't know how this can be a friendship. We joined the second round of the last war when we wouldn't have otherwise, lost well over a third of our NS, endangered three of our very good allies who would not otherwise have been involved, who also suffered loss, defended you against other friends who told us we were crazy for doing so much for you, and paid reps on top of that. And then the other day, you drop us without even so much as a how-do-you-do. Literally the conversation went, "Hello! We're dropping you." How is that friendship? =/

After all we sacrificed for IRON this year, this has probably been the worst disappointment I've ever felt in regards to the political machinations of Bob. Ah well, I'll get over it. Good luck on where-ever life takes you, IRON.

I'm very sorry to hear this.

I'm really sad to see this, TSV.

Londo - Is it possible to be lucky in love and lucky in life?

Oh, my NATO, the sine function of our nation strength gives me butterflies. Godspeed, Anu.

Okay, the title made me laugh a bit. Happy Belated Birthday, my fellow NATOans. And congrats all around to those who won the elections!

Happy to see this finally come to pass. o/ NATO o/ Europa

This makes me happy to no end. Our friends are friends! o/ PnL o/ GUN

Yay for one year! Congrats Hydra. o/ Hydra o/ IC

Congrats to both of you.

You guys have gone through a lot in the past year. That kind of experience can only make you stronger. Was on the edge of my seat waiting for this tonight. I'm so happy that it has finally come to pass! o/ NPO We love ya.

How can something so evil be so good? o/ NPO o/ NSO There WILL be Order!

30 day cancellation clause is SO sexy. *fans self* Much love for both of our good friends in TPF and NPO.

They shall remain separate unless stated in another treaty. This treaty acts to bind the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the New Pacific Order in a state of mutual defense, recognizing our alliances friendship and commitment to one another. [size="3"][b]ARTICLE 1: NON-AGGRESSION[/b][/size] Both signatories agree not to attack, or commit and actions of espionage on the other party. Such actions are regarded as a breach of this treaty. If either alliance bound to this pact conducts espionage on a non-signing alliance, it is grounds for revocation, but such action may or may not be taken by the other party’s leaders. [size="3"][b]ARTICLE 2: INTELLIGENCE[/b][/size] Both signatories agree to share all relevant information of worth. It is agreed that this information shall not be falsified, or changed in any way, to mislead the other party. Such falsifications shall be regarded as a breach of the treaty. [size="3"][b]ARTICLE 3: MUTUAL DEFENSE[/b][/size] Any declaration of war upon a member of either signatory is considered an act of aggression to both signatories. Both signatories agree that should the other come under attack, it is mandatory that all available aid, be it military, financial or diplomatic, will be made available should it be requested. In the event either party declares war, either aggressively or via activation of a clause from another treaty, and therefore requests the other signatory's assistance after coming under attack, the mandatory defense is then considered optional defense. This treaty is exclusively between NATO and NPO and as such will not automatically activate or be activated by any other treaties either signatory may have. [size="3"][b]ARTICLE 4: AID[/b][/size] Both signatories shall agree that they will endeavor to contribute financial aid to the other party. Such aid must be within the limits of reality, and not without reason. Such requests for financial aid shall be placed in the other party's embassy and the leader shall have to acknowledge the aid request. An acceptable reason must be stated, or the requested aid will not be given. Also, aid requests may be rejected, though the other party must have a valid reason. Any aid requests made under false pretense shall be viewed as a breach of this treaty. [size="3"][b]ARTICLE 5: CANCELLATION[/b][/size] To cancel this treaty any time, one party must post a thread on the other party's forums, or contact a leader directly and get acknowledgment from the other party. Following cancellation, a 48 hour grace period shall begin, during which neither party may breach any of the above listed terms.[/center][/quote] Signed for the [b]New Pacific Order[/b], [i]Emperor Blackbird New Pacific Order Comrade Chuckles Mary the Fantabulous Imperial Regent of the New Pacific Order Reformed Neutral Menace Imperial Officer of Foreign Affairs VektorZero[/i] Signed for the [b]North Atlantic Treaty Organization[/b], [i]AtheistRepublican, High Councillor Potentia Iskander, High Councillor Externus Lenny N Karl, High Councillor Augmentum Soronis, Minister of Foreign Affairs HAKIM, Minister of Defense Pollexter, Minister of Internal Affairs BozoDav, Minister of Enlistment Warden, Chief Justice[/i]
