We have a protectorate with our good friends at Neuva Vida who we look forward to working with in the future:
This pact is signed in good faith between Nueva Vida and the Nations United for Freedom.
1) Unilateral Defense - An attack on NUF will be viewed as an attack on Nueva Vida.
2) Aggressive War - Should NUF choose to take part in an aggressive war or action against a 3rd party, Nueva Vida must be informed within a reasonable time limit in order to be able to either approve the war/action, provide military support, or veto.
3) Foreign Affairs - Any treaties or pacts signed by NUF must first be approved by Nueva Vida.
4) Optional Assistance - Should Nueva Vida be involved in any military operations of any nature, NUF has the option to support Nueva Vida, but this is under no circumstances an obligation, and does not affect the status of this agreement.
5) Cancellation - Should Nueva Vida find any reason to terminate this agreement, they will provide NUF with 5 days notice before this treaty is null and void. In the event that NUF wishes to terminate the agreement for any reason, they may do so with 48 hours notice. Should any previous articles be breached by either party, this agreement shall be nulled.
For Nueva Vida
