Yes, Lazarus is recently defender. Feux purged the region of imperialists, and a little while down the road, the region decided to create the Lazarus Liberation Army. So now it's officially a defender region.

Ok. Well -- even if we don't bring them together we can say that we're in talked with other defender organizations.

I'm almost giddy with excitement because after the whole debacle in the Assembly atm, I really feel like no one can object to these.

This is the final draft of the treaty, just negotiated. I'll post against as soon as I hear that it's been officially approved by the rest of TRR's government. New/reworded section are in bold.

Treaty of Peace and Amity

Preamble.

The South Pacific and The Rejected Realms, endeavoring to promote the ideals of unity and peace among Game-Created Regions, ensure good relations and cooperation between our two great regions, and recognize the legitimate governments of each other, have agreed to the following Treaty of Peace and Amity.

Article I. Mutual Recognition of Government Legitimacy.

Section 1. The parties to this treaty recognize the government of each region, based upon its constitutions and laws, as legitimate, and will not extend that recognition to any government that comes to power through means not proscribed by law, which shall be determined by the legitimate government in question.

Section 2. Should the government of either party fundamentally change, but not violate the terms of the previous section, the parties may adopt a memorandum of understanding extending the provisions of this treaty to the new government.

Article II. Non-Aggression.

Section 1. The parties to this treaty vow neither to attack the home region of the other party nor participate in any action with the intent to overthrow their legitimate government.

Section 2. Both parties will refrain from conspiring, either directly or through a third party, to destabilize or overthrow the legitimate government of either party.

Section 3. Both parties will refrain from conducting clandestine operations, espionage, or other forms of spying against either party.

Section 4. Both parties will, in good faith, report any known threat or concern related to the other party's security, to the appropriate security organs.

Article III. Mutual Defense.

Section 1. The parties to this treaty may seek assistance for their self-defense by lodging an official request with the appropriate officials.

Section 2. Both parties agree to aid each other against attempts to illegally overthrow the in-game Delegate of their respective home regions.

Section 3. All other requests for aid will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and subject to Article V's conditions.

Article IV. Cultural Exchange and Cooperation.

The parties to this treaty will endeavor to conduct communal cultural activities, to the benefit of the people of both parties, and to strengthen the institutions of peace and liberty.

Article V. Cooperation on Military Affairs.

Section 1. The parties to this treaty agree to work with each other, from time to time, and as circumstances permit, on mutually beneficial military operations, including training missions and confidence-building measures.

Section 2. In pursuing cooperation in military operations, both parties agree that participation on the opposite sides of a military engagement do not automatically constitute hostility or an attack on either party.

Section 3. Both parties agree to keep classified any information regarding military affairs, and only publish that information in a manner mutually agreed upon.

Section 4. Both parties agree to share intelligence as circumstances permit.

Article VI. Peaceful Settlement of Disputes.

The parties to this treaty undertake to settle any and all disputes between them through peaceful means and to refrain from using the threat of force or sanction against one another while this treaty is in force.

Article VII. Deposit and Clarification of Terms.

Section 1. This treaty shall be deposited in a publicly accessible area of the community forums of both parties.

Section 2. The parties to this treaty may, from time to time, clarify the terms of this treaty through memorandums of understanding, which shall be posted alongside the treaty.

Article VIII. Suspension of Terms and Termination of the Treaty.

Section 1. Either party may suspend the terms of the treaty, if the other party has materially breached its terms, until such a time that both parties peacefully settle the dispute and adopt a memorandum of understanding that the treaty is again in force.

Section 2. Either party may terminate the treaty with five days notice, posted publicly in the forum of deposit in both regions, after which the terms of treaty are no longer binding on either party.

The thing with the Lazarus treaty is that they've requested that neither party acts on it until a new Chairman is elected. That won't happen until the 20th. So I guess it'll just have to wait and come after the TRR treaty.

Funkadelia has just been announced as the new Chairman of the PRL.

Well, that's interesting timing.

Arbiter, can you write an OP for the TRR treaty that highlights GCR unity? Playing up the benefits of GCRs mutually protecting one another from aggressors and the like?

I'll write up some similar for Lazarus.

I guess I also need to write congrats to Funkadelia!
