Suppose I coup Balder, depose Rach/NES/Onder/LKE/etc., call a constitutional convention, and let that new now-trimmed-to-fit-its-britches Balder make itself a new government. That government ends up being friendly towards TSP, and a year later, a treaty happens. At the same time, I decide to run for Delegate and/or join the CRS. Would I be disqualified?

(I principally like Glen's wording, though)

I would assume the reasonable case of "ally at the time" would be it? If we assume present allies, that can also mean a case where someone pulls off a successful coup of an ally and makes them not an ally, which then exempts them from this clause.
