House Atreides Protectorate
#1
Quote:House Atreides has been a long time friend of TFD and initiated Peace and Love Train with us and Zenith from the beginning. Now that Peace and Love Train is no more, and TFD and Zenith are one, it only makes sense that we continue to stick together. With this context, we're proud to present the following protectorate agreement [Image: smile.gif]

The Treaty of Rakis


The Foreign Division (TFD) and House Atreides (HA), two independent alliances on Planet Bob do hereby enter into this treaty of peace, respect, communication, and protection.

Article One: Sovereignty

Both TFD and House Atreides shall remain sovereign and independent in their internal and external affairs.

Article Two: Peace

No member of either signatory alliance shall attack or commit acts of espionage against a member of the other signatory alliance or assist an outside entity in doing so.

Article Three: Respect

The signatory alliances and their members will treat each other with as much respect and decency as they would show one of their own members. Healthy debate and discussion as well as constructive criticism are not restricted, but alliance members are expected to show tact and consideration by going through the proper channels when addressing a concern.

Article Four: Intelligence

Should either TFD or House Atreides come upon or gather intelligence that has a bearing on the affairs or security of the other signatory, that information must be made available to that other signatory within forty-eight hours.

Article Five: Financial Aid

Neither signatory is required to provide financial aid to the other signatory. However, should one signatory request financial aid, the other signatory is encouraged to consider granting the request.

Article Six: Foreign Policy

TFD and House Atreides agree to keep each other appraised of their foreign policy endeavors and The House agrees to not make any foreign policy moves such as treaties without at least 48 hours notice to TFD. If TFD does not approve of the foreign affairs move, The House is highly encouraged not to make it.

Article Seven: Military Policy

House Atreides shall be under the military protection of TFD for the duration of this treaty. An attack on The House shall be considered an attack on TFD and the government of TFD shall assist the government of The House with securing a satisfactory resolution to the conflict. Although it is not required to assist TFD militarily, should TFD formally request military assistance - whether it be aggressive or defensive - from House Atreides, The House is highly encouraged to grant the request. The House agrees to refrain from engaging in alliance wide warfare without prior consent from TFD. In return, TFD agrees to inform The House of any military action taken at least 24 hours before it is executed.

Article Eight: Cancellation and Expiration

This treaty may be revoked by the government of either signatory in the event of fundamentally changed circumstances that were never contemplated by the signatories. Notification of revocation must be given to the other signatory within forty-eight hours. Should this treaty be revoked by either signatory, a forty-eight hour grace period begins at the time of notification during which neither signatory may violate this treaty. This treaty shall expire should any of the following conditions come to occur: 1.) House Atreides reaches 50 members; or 2.) House Atreides reaches 1 million total nation strength. At the time of expiration, the parties shall decide whether to upgrade the protectorate or go their separate ways.
