An Announcement from the Orders

[Malatose]

As Imperial Officer of Foreign Affairs, I'd like to announce the following treaty between the New Pacific Order and The Imperial Order.

[quote][b]Preamble:[/b]

The New Pacific Order and The Imperial Order do hereby come together in the spirit of common friendship and common prosperity to create the following treaty in order that both alliances enjoy a long, fruitful, and peaceful relationship.

[b]Article I: Non-aggression[/b]
Both signatories will hereafter refrain from any form of hostile activity, hereafter defined as military force, internal subversion or espionage of any kind, against the other.

[b]Article II: Conduct[/b]
Signatories of this pact pledge to show only respect and good will towards each other. While this will prohibit outright verbal hostility in all its forms, it will not restrict healthy debate or productive disagreement.

[b]Article III: Assistance[/b]
If either signatory requests assistance in the form of military assistance, economic aid, or political intervention, it is strongly encouraged for the other signatory to provide what help it can, though both parties accept that this is not an obligation.

[b]Article IV: Intelligence[/b]
Should vital knowledge of a political or military nature come to the attention of one signatory, they are required to share it with the other.

[b]Article V: Exchange[/b]
Such is the relationship between the signatories that both agree to allow the free exchange of economic resources between their respective memberships in either an organized, or unorganized, manner.

[b]Article VI: Re-evaluation[/b]
When this treaty reaches 2 months of age, both alliances agree to re-evaluate this treaty, and decide whether or not to upgrade, but if either signatory wishes to re-evaluate before hand, this is allowed.

[b]Article VII: Cancellation[/b]

It is the hope of both signatories that this pact may last forever, or until the bond it represents grows to the point where an upgrade is merited. Given the uncertainties of the future, however, it is recognized that should any of the above Articles be violated, or should some major irreparable disagreement arise, that this pact maybe cancelled after 5 days notice.

In any case, mindless hails!

Pffffttt.. who would ally with an alliance led by a rampaging kangaroo! NPO will regret this.





Also, congratulations and such.

People really should specify what class of treaty. It looks like an ODP, have I got that right?

[Banksy]

I spent a while starring at the treaty wondering why Polaris had downgraded with TIO before realising my mistake.

Congrats and stuff.

I was expecting something else

Yes, it's an ODP.

/o TIO
/o NPO

Congrats, may this form into a long standing relationship

[Facade]

Dislike due to lack of war.

[Bernkastel]

Assuming this isn't a joke.

I don't even know you anymore, TIO. I really don't. This [b]isn't[/b] the same alliance I helped found and build up.

This is horrifying to see. I'm disgusted.

Technically it's a PIATODP, but that's just unwieldy.

Oh come now, it's not that hard. All you do is check if they have a mil clause, read it, if not check the aid clause, I've rarely seen mil outside of those two categories.

Touche, sir, touche. But that's even worse. Too many letters, make my brain hurt.

[GearHead]

I was actually half-expecting the fabled OoO 2.0, and then I opened the link and took another breath.

Gratz and all.
