The Mostly Harmless North Atlantic Amity Agreement
In January 2007, as the Mostly Harmless Alliance and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization signed their first official treaty, a great friendship was born. Over the years, both alliances have fought side by side in battles, maintained an efficient cooperation in peace times and it has always been the common goal of the two alliances to ensure the prosperity of their membership and of planet Bob as a whole. While the two alliances recognize and respect that each has chosen to walk on different paths, they believe that History should never be forgotten. Today, the Mostly Harmless Alliance and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization wish to formalize through this Treaty of Amity that, notwithstanding any political context, their friendship is constitutive of their individual identity.
Article 1
In recognition of their shared history, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Mostly Harmless Alliance do hereby agree to refrain from committing any acts of aggression against each other, including, but not limited to, the actions of espionage, spying, and aiding an alliance that the other signatory is engaged in direct conflict with.
Article 2
In recognition of their friendship, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Mostly Harmless Alliance do hereby agree to maintain a state of amiable relations. If issues or conflicts do arise and demonstrate the potential to interfere with the pursuance of this honorable goal, then they are to be settled through private discussions conducted in a timely and civil manner.
Article 3
In recognition of those times in which they fought together against a common enemy, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Mostly Harmless Alliance do hereby agree that either party may request financial, diplomatic, or military support from the other. Neither party is required or obligated to provide such aid, if it is requested, but both alliances are encouraged to lend what support they are able to their friends who are in need.
Article 4
Should either party, or both parties, come to feel that their differences hold more weight than their shared history, then they may withdraw from this treaty after providing seventy-two hours advance notice of their intent to withdraw. After they have withdrawn from the treaty, neither signatory may then initiate aggressive action, as defined in Article 1, for another period of seventy-two hours.
