I have my proposal of the Treaty between the four members, which was taken from the Collective Security Treaty:

The Parties to this Treaty reaffirm their desire to live in peace with all peoples and all governments. They are determined to safeguard the freedom, common heritage and civilisation of their peoples, founded on the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. They seek to promote stability and well-being in the South Pacific area. They are resolved to unite their efforts for collective defence and for the preservation of peace and security.

Can you add economic articles? The United Front is an economic and military union.

Nevertheless, we encourage everyone to make their versions of the charter.

OOC: Should I start a thread for the charter?

Ryccia, perhaps you can write the economic part of the Treaty. We will divide it into two sections: Section 1 (economic) and Section 2 (military).
