Protection Agency of Idependent Nations AND New Polar Order Announcement of a MDoAP

Preamble

Recognizing our strong friendship, and to ensure the safety of both alliances from external attacks, the New Polar Order (NpO) and the Protection Agency of Independent Nations (PAIN) agree to these terms of mutual defense and optional aggression.

Article I - Sovereignty

Both signatories recognize that this pact is not a merger of the two alliances, and that both alliances will retain their full and complete sovereignty. Neither signatory shall take any action that could potentially infringe on the sovereignty of the other.

Article II - Mutual Information

Both signatories recognize the importance of strong and constant communication both during war and in peace and will remain in contact through IRC, on forums, and/or through another means of communication. If either signatory receives information detailing a threat towards the other (direct aggression, threat of war, espionage, etc), they are obliged to inform them immediately.

Article III - Mutual Defense and Optional Agression

Any direct attack on either signatory should be seen as an attack on both, and thus initiating the mobilization of both signatories' armed forces (this includes espionage and rogue attacks). Both signatories are obliged to provide military and financial aid to the other if requested.

The respective parties are not obliged to offer assistance should either signatory alliance become involved in a conflict via other treaties with other alliances or blocs. Either signatory alliance may offer assistance in such an event but any assistance would be voluntary.

While diplomacy is always advised foremost, the respective parties are not prohibited from attacking the others treatied partners if situation warranted respective parties in doing so.

If one signatory engages in an offensive war, the other signatory is strongly recommended but not obligated to assist them. This clause may not be used as grounds for cancellation of the treaty.

Article IV - Mutual Respect

Neither signatory will take actions that could potentially damage the other. Neither will provide aid or sanctuary to any enemy of the other signatory despite their relationship with that enemy. Neither will engage in attacks, either through military or espionage, against the other and will work to resolve any disputes that may from time to time emerge between their respective members.

Article V - Cancellation

If either signatory wishes to terminate these accords, they must provide the other with at least 48 hours notice, at which time both signatories will enter into discussions to determine if reasons for termination can be resolved. If they cannot, the termination of the accords will proceed 48 hours from the date of announcement.
