The Aude Alliance
In recognition of the long and special relationship between The North Pacific and Taijitu, and in recognition of the fact that the region of Carcassonne was founded by core members of Taijitu’s community, and considers itself a successor region to Taijitu; the regions of The North Pacific and Carcassonne, hereafter jointly referred to as “the signatories,” commit to the following in an effort to deepen their existing ties and forge new ones for a new age:
Section I - Mutual Recognition
1. The signatories recognize one another as the sole, legitimate, and sovereign governments of their respective regions.
2. The signatories shall maintain in-game embassies (i.e., on the NationStates website) as well as off-site embassies if applicable (i.e., on regional forums) to ensure the continuation of diplomatic relations with one another.
3. The signatories acknowledge the sovereignty and ownership signatories hold over their own founded and established Frontiers or Strongholds, hereafter jointly referred to as “territories.”
Section II - Intelligence Sharing
1. The signatories shall provide information to their counterpart's head of government that is pertinent to the other region's security or well-being, unless the signatory in possession of such intelligence reasonably believes that doing so would violate applicable laws or contravene the terms of service for NationStates or said signatory's forum provider, or when revealing that information would unduly compromise that party's source(s) of information.
2. The signatories will keep confidential all intelligence provided to them under this Section, unless the other signatory consents to the release.
3. The signatories will not in any way, direct or indirect, initiate or participate in espionage, subterfuge, or other clandestine operations against one another. For this purpose, a "clandestine operation" is one or more persons acting under false pretenses in one signatory's home region or regional forum, without that signatory's knowledge, and at the direction of the other signatory.
Section III - Mutual Defense
1. The signatories agree not to engage in any military hostilities against one another.
a. Participation by the signatories on opposite sides of a military engagement that does not constitute an attack on either signatory's home region or territories shall not be considered "military hostilities against one another" for the purposes of this treaty.
2. The signatories will not attempt to overthrow one another.
3. The signatories shall provide one another military assistance in case of a military attack, either internal or external, targeting the other signatory's home region or territories to the best of their ability, and at the request of the other signatory.
4. For the purposes of the above provisions, the signatories will consider any military hostilities or attacks on the region of Taijitu to be committed against Carcassonne.
Section IV - Cultural Endeavors
1. The signatories shall endeavor to conduct communal cultural activities to the benefit of members of both regions.
2. Cultural and Culture-adjacent institutions from each signatory shall be encouraged to host events with one another, share experiences and knowledge, and work together whenever appropriate.
Section V - World Assembly Cooperation
1. The signatories shall support World Assembly resolutions proposed by members of the signatories through approvals for the purposes of advancing the proposals to queue and votes in favor on the assembly floor as soon as practicable, so long as:
a. the respective delegates of each signatory are asked in advance of the vote to provide such support, and given any accommodation for limitations in the respective delegates’ ability to approve or vote for the proposal;
b. a majority of active World Assembly nations in the respective signatories' regions do not oppose the resolution while it is at vote.
2. Either signatory may apply the above provisions to any other proposed World Assembly resolution, and each signatory will endeavor to accommodate such a request, so long as:
a. such support would not conflict with the signatories’ diplomatic commitments to another region through agreement specific to the proposed resolution made prior to the signatories’ request or through existing treaties;
b. such support would not conflict with the signatories’ internal process for determining its delegate’s vote in the World Assembly.
Section VI - General Provisions and Dissolution
1. This treaty shall come into effect upon its ratification by the duly authorized individuals or bodies of both the signatories, and shall replace the former Taijitu-North Pacific Alliance.
2. Either signatory shall endeavor to give a week's notice in the aforementioned embassies before terminating this treaty.
3. Both signatories agree to make all reasonable efforts to seek a diplomatic solution before withdrawing.
