Alright, so I did a revision, trying to keep Arbiter's voice, but expanding on the points he made. Feel free to make changes. This is the Cabinet speaking as one, so we want to make sure everybody is comfortable with it!

---

Over the past few weeks, the Cabinet has been negotiating with The Rejected Realms, a fine region and fellow GCR. We want to expand our existing alliances, to ensure that we're connected to most active regions and the strongest military forces that could protect us if we even need it. (Hopefully we won't!)

TRR is part of a fairly large military organization, called the Founderless Regions Alliance. They have leverage that could help get the rest of the FRA to aid us in a time of need. If we were to be couped again, we would want as much help as we can get.

TRR also has a lot of opportunities for cultural exchanges. For example, they have one of the most read newspapers in Gameplay, so they could help SPINN with technical stuff, or could collaborate on big issues.

Some may oppose this treaty because of our existing alliance with The New Inquisition, who is currently at war with The Rejected Realms through their war with the Founderless Regions Alliance. This was a major point in negotiations. We stressed that TSP will not be dragged into a war we think is as fruitless as it is expansive.

To that end, we agreed only to protect The Rejected Realms if anybody were attack the region proper, just as we are are asking them to do with us, and as all of our treaties do. That is the cornerstone of our all our treaties, because only by recognizing and protecting the sovereignty of all GCRs can we protect our own. There is a line even our allies cannot cross.

When it comes to other military missions, we went with the standard protocol. We will cooperate whenever it's in our interests, meaning whenever it will provide an opportunity for the SPSF to be active, without having severe consequences for our foreign affairs.

One other thing to mention is that this treaty adopts the position we took with Europeia. If TRR and TSP were to meet on the opposite sides of the battlefield, that would not constitute hostility or attack. This allows us to defend and raid, which is another standard of our foreign affairs.

This treaty would let people know that we are truly independent, and we do whatever is in our best interests. What better way to do that then to be allied with multiple regions that differ in alignment on the whole R/D thing?

Ultimately, our regional interests are best served by having good relations with all of our fellow GCRs. We have treaties with Balder, TNP, and Lazarus. So we should expand our relations with GCRs and encourage peace and cooperation among all of us. We all have the same common interest of protecting our regions from attack. This treaty is on the right step with our others in ensuring that!

Without further ado, the Cabinet presents the following treaty for the Assembly's consideration!
