Section 1. The TAR forums shall be jointly administered by the admins of TAR and TAS.
Section 2. Citizens of TAS shall register on the TAR forums and be promptly granted citizenship.
Section 3. The government of TAS shall create an accurate list of citizens and businesses and the number of Allied Points the citizen or business has possession of. Thereafter, the administrators of the TAR Forums shall grant each TAS citizen 3 TAR Dollars for every 2 TAS points. This section shall remain in effect for at least three months after the merger to allow time for currently inactive citizens of TAS to transfer their funds.
Section 4. The administrators of the TAR forums shall edit the post count of accounts created by TAS citizens to reflect the sum of number of posts that the TAS citizen has made in both regions.

Article 3 - Union of Governments
Section 1. A Constitutional Convention shall be held which shall draft a Constitution for the unified government of TAS and TAR.
Section 2. The current TAR Constitution shall provisionally remain in effect until the new Constitution is adopted. The laws of TAR not superseded by the new Constitution shall provisionally remain in effect for sixty days after the adoption of the new Constitution, and the first Government elected under the new Constitution shall merge the current laws of TAR and TAS.
Section 3. The unified Government shall provide for the creation of at least three state governments, which may be defined as states within a unified country or countries within a larger country or regional alliance as the new Government may provide for.

Article 4- Execution of this Treaty
Section 1. Upon the agreement of this Treaty by both current regional governments, a Constitutional Convention shall be held on the TAR forums and/or TAS region, which shall be open to citizens of both TAS and TAR and shall draft a Constitution for the unified government within 21 days. If the Constitutional Convention fails to agree to a new Constitution, then the provisions of this Treaty may be terminated.
Section 2. The residents of the TAR region shall begin to move to the TAS NationStates region within 5 days of the agreement of this Treaty and shall complete movement by the date that the new Constitution is ratified.
Section 3. The government of TAS shall encourage all citizens of TAS to create accounts on the TAR region within 5 days of the agreement of this Treaty.
Section 4. The three state governments of TAS shall move to the TAR forums within 5 days of the agreement of this Treaty and shall be provisionally named "The Northeast", "The South", and "The West". Citizens of either region may join any state and rename and draft any laws for their State as they deem fit.
Section 5. On the date that the first elections under the new Constitution have concluded, the unified government of TAS will take effect and current the TAS Forum shall be archived.


The Senate has voted to hold a referendum on ratification of the Treaty of Union. The results of the referendum will be binding unless the margin is less than ten percent. I will now open debate and discussion about this treaty for 24 hours. I'd like everyone who will vote in the referendum to read the treaty, debate this matter, voice your concerns, and ask any questions you may have about the plan.

OUTLINE OF THE TREATY
- TAS will move to the TAR forums
- TAR will move to the TAS NS Region and the name of the region after the merger will be The Allied States
- The TAR forums will be jointly administered by TAR and TAS admins, and when TAS citizens create an account on the TAR forums, the post count will be edited to reflect the number of posts you've made here
- The regions will jointly hold a constitutional convention open to citizens of both region to decide the structure of the new government
- All money will be converted to TAR's currency at a 3:2 exchange rate
- The three state governments will be preserved in TAR and TAR's citizens will join the states
