Treaty with Nelaga

[Jacobus Loki]

To wit:

Mango-Garp Accord
between
The Imperial Republic of Shireroth
and
The Nelaga Territories

Recognizing the common histories, cultures, and mutual long-term plans between our two countries, Shireroth and Nelaga hereby enter into a state of joint ownership and administration of the Island of Amity. Both parties agree to the following terms:

1. Shireroth and Nelaga shall enjoy a perpetual state of non-aggression, peace, friendship, and cooperation, barring consensual mutual conflict (known more commonly as "recwars") agreed upon by both nations.
2. Both states shall own the island of Amity. Citizens from each state may travel freely in the spirit of friendship to the island and other territories of each state. The Micronational Cartography Society will label the island with both Shirerithian and Nelagan colors. The exact extent of the laws that shall affect Amity shall be decided by mutual consent of both countries, with the default situation of any conflicting laws being negated entirely.
3. No restrictions are placed upon how each country can classify Amity as far as internal territory divisions are concerned.
4. Both nations may create a forum for administering the Island of Amity. However. the main board for discussing matters that affect both nations shall be administered by Shireroth.
5. The foreign affairs and defense of the island will be the responsibility of both governments. This treaty places no other military obligations on either country.
6. The Nelagan-controlled organization JASO shall be relocated to Amity Island.
7. JASO shall be opened fully and without restrictions to both the Shirerithian government and private citizens of Shireroth. Shireroth shall retain permanent joint control over any technical work developed by a citizen or organization of Shireroth.
8. The board for JASO's main organization and development shall be administered by Nelaga.
9. Both Shireroth and Nelaga shall be inseparable, permanent members of the UMapper Cartography Project. Full technical and personal and cooperation on this project shall exist between both countries.
10. The Island of Amity shall be the first professionally developed map for the UMapper Cartography Project, and both nations shall retain control over the rights and development of that map.
11. Modifications to this agreement shall occur only by mutual consent of both nations.
12. This agreement will last a minimum of two realtime years from the day that it has been approved by both countries. After that point, either nation may give a unilateral notice to withdraw that becomes legally valid after 3 months and will end this accord permanently in its entirety. The nations may enforce any withdraw terms they mutually agree to, but if no terms are agreed upon, the defaults shall be that Shireroth regains full control of Amity, JASO is moved back to a Nelagan location of their choosing, and all UMapper maps become the sole works of the individual that put the most personal time into them.
13. If, for any reason, either nation withdraws or abandons this agreement without mutual consent or following proper procedure to withdraw as outlined above, they waive full control of the island of Amity as well as all involvement in JASO and the UMapper Cartography Project.
14. Should the government of either nation permanently fall into disarray, the other nation gains full control over Amity, JASO, and the UMapper Cartography Project, under the assumption that the establishment of a new government or an obvious successor state shall enjoy all privileges previously granted by this agreement.
15. This agreement is based upon mutual respect and the desire for both nations to create both stronger, better nations for themselves as well as a better micronational community. As such, upon their honor, both nations agree not to attempt to use any of the terms of this treaty for obvious gain over the other, that any obvious loopholes shall be considered unfortunate typos in wording rather than legally-backed mandates, and that they shall attempt to work out any conflicts regarding the terms of this agreement with civility.
