    GCR Sovereignty Accords

    in Office of Foreign Affairs

    Posted

    (This was made in July 2016; I somehow forgot to post this here.)

    The appropriate discussion thread on the NSGP Forums can be found here: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=383096&hilit=Gcr+sovereignty+accords

    Preamble

    We, the signatories of this, the GCR Sovereignty Accords (hereinafter – the Accords), state our devotion to the principles of regional sovereignty within the GCR community. Through the adoption of these Accords we declare that our nations and regions vow to protect the sovereign rights of each member state to govern their lands as they see fit, to protect those lands against outside aggressors, and to support one another against all adversaries.

    Article I

    The legal and legitimate government of each member region shall be that form of government initiated by or adhered to by the sitting World Assembly Delegate.

    Article II

    Should any region, group of regions, alliance, or entente of regions threaten a member region of the Accords with military force each region will be asked to assist in the defense of said threatened region.

    Article III

    Should any region, group of regions, alliance, or entente carry out such threat as to invade said region then all member regions of the Accords will be asked to contribute whatever means available to assist in the repelling of said invasion and to assist in any counter-offensive, if deemed necessary.

    Article IV

    All military involvement in the Accord’s affairs is voluntary. It is based on the good faith of those signatories of this document that if a member is subject to actions stated in Articles II and III all available military forces will come to the member region’s aid.

    Article V

    All member regions are expected to share intelligence that is pertinent to the sovereign safety of other members in a timely fashion. No member will be asked to reveal the source of said intelligence but it can be freely provided. All member regions are expected to share intelligence in regards to imminent invasions, espionage, or subversion within another member region.

    Article VI

    Member regions are not obligated to vote together on World Assembly resolutions. Each member region has the right to vote as they see fit according to the laws of their region. It is based on the good faith of those signatories of this document that if a member region is the subject of a specific World Assembly resolution that members will support the decision made by that region in regards to their regional vote. Member regions can solicit votes for and against specific resolutions from other members of the Accords and the opinions of fellow signatories should place due weight on any voting decision made.

    Article VII

    The Accord’s signatory regions may use their collective military forces to defend those regional governments that seek out our assistance. At no time will the Accords interfere with the internal affairs of a region without either specific requests from the regional government to do so or just cause. No unilateral action can be undertaken in the Accord’s name without a prior vote of approval with unanimous approval of sitting member regions.

    Article VIII

    Each member region of the Accords will have three (3) designated representatives to the Governing Council. The Governing Council will handle primary inter-regional communications and will vote on the admission of new members. Each member region will select its representatives in the manner it deems most fitting.

    Article IX

    Each member region (or potential member region) will decide on the ratification of these Accords according to the laws of their region.

    Article X

    New members will be added to the Accords only at the invitation from a sitting member and only after all sitting member regions vote on admittance. Each member region will hold a vote among their Governing Council members, this will be the official vote of that member region. All voting members of the Accords must vote positively for approval before an additional region will be admitted

    Article XI

    These Accords can be amended with a two-thirds (2/3) majority vote of sitting member regions.

    Article XII

    Upon petition by any representative of the Accords regarding the unsuitability of another region’s representative or the ejection of another member region of the Accords for actions of subversion against a fellow member, for actions of espionage against a fellow member, or for actions in assistance of those that would contribute to subversion or espionage within a fellow member region, the Governing Council will convene a hearing to allow for the presentation of evidence and/or arguments for and against expulsion of the accused representative or region. At the conclusion of this hearing (which under no circumstances will last more than 72 hours) the Governing Council (excepting the accused region's representatives) will vote for or against the replacement or expulsion of the accused representative or region respectively. The voting members of the Governing Council must reach a unanimous decision in the affirmative before a representative or region can be removed from the Accords.

    Treaty of Friendship Between Europeia and The West Pacific, 2016

    in Office of Foreign Affairs

    Posted

    The statement on the gameplay forum can be seen here: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=385757

    WHEREAS, the Region of The West Pacific ("TWP") and the Republic of Europeia ("Europeia") have engaged in discussions about the natural alliance between the two regions, and how to deepen it; and

    WHEREAS, TWP and Europeia wish to develop closer ties with one another through continued discussions, as well as the treaty undertakings set forth herein;

    NOW, THEREFORE, TWP and Europeia agree as follows:

    1. Military Undertakings

    (a.) Neither TWP nor Europeia will engage in military hostilities against the other. Participation by TWP and Europeia on opposite sides of a military engagement that does not constitute an attack

    on either region shall not be considered "military hostilities against the other" for this purpose.

    (b.) To the extent practicable, TWP and Europeia shall provide the other defensive military assistance in case of an attack.

    (c.) Both TWP and Europeia shall not cede their sovereign control over their respective military forces to any supraregional alliance. Sovereign control is interpreted as being able to make the

    ultimate decision with regards to the region's military resources participating in a military operation. Both regions may continue to enter into bilateral and multilateral agreements for common

    defense.

    (d.) Europeia shall not engage in offensive military action against Game Created Regions, as defined below ("GCRs"), except that (i) Europeia may take any action reasonably related to its

    obligations to defend its allies; and (ii) Europeia may, in consultation with TWP, take any action reasonably related to the defense of indigenous communities in any GCR against outside aggression

    or improper influence. For purposes of this Section 1(d), the term "Game Created Regions" means the regions of The Pacific, The East Pacific, The South Pacific, The West Pacific, The North Pacific,

    Lazarus, Balder, Osiris, and The Rejected Realms.

    (e.) TWP and Europeia shall aid each other in Delegacy transferrals when requested.

    (f.) TWP and Europeia will collaborate militarily for the combined benefit of both regions when practical.

    2. Intelligence Undertakings

    (a.) Neither TWP nor Europeia will set spies on the other. For this purpose, a "spy" is a person acting under false pretenses in one region, without that region's knowledge, and at the direction of

    the other region's legitimate government.

    (b.) TWP and Europeia each shall provide information to the other if such information is pertinent to the other region's security or well-being, or otherwise upon the other's reasonable request,

    unless the party in possession of such information reasonably believes that providing that information might violate applicable laws or contravene the terms of service for NationStates or the

    region's forum provider, or when revealing that information would unduly compromise that party's source(s) of information. Both signatories shall endeavor to reveal as much as possible in such

    situations, but not more than they can under laws, terms of service or the need to protect sources.

    (c.) TWP and Europeia will each make it a violation of their internal laws to spy on the other, if a similar or related law to the same effect does not already exist. To the extent permitted by

    each region's laws, this Section 2(c.) shall be deemed self-executing.

    3. Diplomatic Undertakings

    (a.) TWP and Europeia shall establish and maintain in-game embassies (i.e., on the NationStates site) with one another.

    (b.) TWP and Europeia shall maintain off-site embassies (i.e., on their regional forums), consistent with facilities provided to other allies.

    4. General Provisions

    (a.) This treaty shall take effect when it has been ratified by the duly authorized legislative bodies of both TWP and Europeia.

    (b.) Upon ratification, this treaty shall be the sole treaty between TWP and Europeia, superseding any prior written documents describing a relationship between the regions.

    (c.) As soon as practicable following ratification, TWP and Europeia will collaborate to stage a cultural festival to celebrate this treaty.

    It has come to our knowledge that your region recruits from the region of Albion, a treatied ally of TWP. Such behavior is not welcomed here, and as such your application is henceforth denied. We wish you and your region luck in the Jennifer Government world and it is my hope that you will continue to grow and prosper, hopefully without your current recruitment policy.

    For your second question, ask the guy who proposed it.

    As it happens, this counts as violation of TWP rule #1, which is 'Don't be a d1ck'. Such behavior won't get you far here.
