Treaty with the Empire of the Alexandrians

[Liam conToketi]

Treaty of Poitou

The Empire of the Alexandrians and the Imperial Republic of Shireroth united in both their desire for a more formal relationship and their commitment towards peace, agree:

1. That each state recognises the other's sovereignty, legitimacy, and territory, both physical and imagined;

2. That all diplomatic parties from both Alexandria and Shireroth shall enjoy diplomatic immunity within the borders of each state.

3. That both states agree to resolve any mutual disputes in a peaceful manner, with or without the arbitration of a neutral third party;

4. That neither state shall commit or condone an attack on the other, and will seek to share information in the case of imminent attack;

5. That neither state that is party to this agreement shall harbor, aid or otherwise support those that are willing to overthrow the legitimate government of either micronation. Cultural exception shall be given to the Duchy of Yardistan in the Imperial Republic of Shireroth;

6. That both parties shall remain open and accessible visitors from one another, barring national emergencies or other such security issues;

7. That the governments of both Alexandria and Shireroth shall be given the right to extradition of those deemed criminal in either contracting micronation. The detained individual shall be handed over to the authorities of the petitioning micronation and the other must comply with the petition within a period of no greater than one week.

8. Cultural exchanges, diplomatic initiatives and other means at fostering an environment of well being between Alexandria and Shireroth shall be supported by both governments, who will notify each other of major events and happenings within the borders of each.

9. That either party seeking to amend this treaty shall inform the other of this request, and that all amendments must be made with mutual consent;

10. That immediately after the ratification of this treaty (through the governments' head of state's signature or foreign official's signature) will its relevance take affect as both signatory parties are bound to the commitment of this treaty and dialogue between our micronations shall begin;

11. That the cancellation of this treaty must be undertaken via a written notice posted in both nations' forums for a minimum period of five days before the annulment date;

12. That any deliberate violation of the aforementioned articles constitutes the cancellation of this treaty.

Straylight NAY. When I said I had a problem with section five, I meant I had a problem with section five.

[Erik Mortis]

Is liam a duke?

Anyhoo. Yeah. I don't quite get part 5.

[Andreas the Wise]

Liam isn't even a Count because Ari forgets to promote him.

Part 5 is probably intended to mean "we don't harbour those planning to overthrow Alexandria, they don't harbour those planning to overthrow Shireroth." Except it can also mean "we don't harbour those planning to overthrow us," which, as Ari points out, constricts Yardistan too much ...

[Kaiser Hasan I]

Alright so modify part five with "Except Yardistan"

[b3n|<3r|\|]

Excellent point! I demand a correction!

[Jonas]

Voting needs to start again. But maybe someone has another proposal?

[Liam conToketi]

That is the correct treaty above, and yes, voting needs to begin again. (sorry, I kept forgetting to repost the new treaty )

Straylight votes AYE

[Erik Mortis]

Brookshire Votes Nay for the reasons Straylight did.

[Jonas]

Kildare abstains in this matter.

[b3n|<3r|\|]

Hmm...

Yardistan votes Nay.

[Liam conToketi]

Probably should have let this thread lie, Jonas. No one seems to have noticed the change I made (accidentally, I should have made a new thread)...

NOTE: Article 5 was fixed! I just did it wrong!

[Hesam Jayatar]

Elwynn votes Nay.

[Jonas]

Disapproved.
