Mutual Defense Treaty
Official Treaty DRAFT 
HeavenGate, Cielo, Gilead 
Security Treaty between the Empire of Valkany and the United Kingdom of Gilead 
(HeavenGate, 12 April 2014) 
Entry into force generally: 14 April 2014 
 
SECURITY TREATY BETWEEN THE EMPIRE OF VALKANY AND 
THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GILEAD
 

 
THE PARTIES TO THIS TREATY, 
REAFFIRMING their faith in the purposes and principles of the Charter of the Union Nations and 
their desire to live in peace with all peoples and all Governments, and desiring to strengthen the 
fabric of peace in the North Sea Area, 
RECOGNIZING that Austiana and Dawinia have shown boundless aggression in the continent 
of Victorium, absorbing lesser powers, 
DESIRING to declare publicly and formally their sense of unity, so that no potential aggressor 
could be under the illusion that any of them stand alone in the North Sea. 
DESIRING further to coordinate their efforts for collective defense for the preservation of peace 
and security pending the development of a more comprehensive system of regional security in 
the North Sea, 
THEREFORE DECLARE AND AGREE as follows: 
Article I 
The Parties undertake, as set forth in the Charter of the Union Nations, to settle any international 
disputes in which they may be involved by peaceful means in such a manner that international 
peace and security and justice are not endangered and to refrain in their international relations 
from the threat or use of force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the Union of 
Nations. 
Article II 
In order more effectively to achieve the objective of this Treaty the Parties separately and jointly 
by means of continuous and effective self­help and mutual aid will maintain and develop their 
individual and collective capacity to resist armed attack. 
Article III 
The Parties will consult together whenever in the opinion of any of them the territorial integrity, 
political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened in the North Sea. 
Article IV 
Each Party recognizes that an armed attack in the North Sea on any of the Parties would be
dangerous to its own peace and safety and declares that it would act to meet the common 
danger in accordance with its constitutional processes. 
Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall be immediately reported 
to the Security Council of the Union of Nations. Such measures shall be terminated when the 
Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace 
and security. 
Article V 
For the purpose of Article IV, an armed attack on any of the Parties is deemed to include an 
armed attack on the metropolitan territory of any of the Parties, or on the island territories under 
its jurisdiction in the North Sea or on its armed forces, public vessels or aircraft in the North Sea. 
Article VI 
This Treaty does not affect and shall not be interpreted as affecting in any way the rights and 
obligations of the Parties under the Charter of the Union of Nations or the responsibility of the 
Union of Nations for the maintenance of international peace and security. 
Article VII 
The Parties hereby establish a Council, consisting of their Foreign Ministers or their Deputies, to 
consider matters concerning the implementation of this Treaty. The Council should be so 
organized as to be able to meet at any time. 
Article VIII 
Pending the development of a more comprehensive system of regional security in the North Sea 
Area and the development by the Union of Nations of more effective means to maintain 
international peace and security, the Council, established by Article VII, is authorized to maintain 
a consultative relationship with States, Regional Organizations, Associations of States or other 
authorities in the North Sea Area in a position to further the purposes of this Treaty and to 
contribute to the security of that Area. 
Article IX

Minister Banks was pleased that technology chose to cooperate at the time, then turned back to face the Consul "As you can see, Consul Decimus, this treaty would ensure Gileadan support for your empire if the fascist movement comes to your borders."

"I have to admit I am surprised by the seer intelligence of the proposed terms of the treaty. They help to protect both of our nations and the world as a whole, while also reinforcing cooperation through the Union of Nations and simultaneously giving no chance to any third parties to form a serious Casus Beli on us. I cannot help but accept Minister Banks." replied the Minister while extending his hand for a handshake and facing the Minsiter;

"Excellent," Minister Banks responded while smiling and shaking the Consul's hand, "I have here a official treaty, pre-signed by His Majesty, King Gregorius. We had hoped that you would accept the treaty without any moderation of the text, and here we are. I take it that you are indeed empowered to sign your name on the His Imperial Majesty's behalf?"

"Most surely" said Decimus; "As would be my colleagues. Where may I sign?"

Decimus was handed the document, where he signed along with the other members of the Valkanian Delegation.
The Valkanians' signatures were:

Count Gaius Egnatius Decimus, Imperial Consul of Foreign Afairs
Lord Arthur Hadrian Wellington, Imperial Consul of Defence
Jane Peterson McGill, Lieutenant of the Imperial Navy & Officer of the 1st Grade of the Imperial Diplomatic Corps
Octavius Pendilus Seranicus, Lieutenant of the Imperial Navy & Officer of the 1st Grade of the Imperial Diplomatic Corps

On Behalf of His Most Imperial Majesty, Emperor Augustus & Caesar Demetrius Fevruarius XV of Andrew, of the House of Valkanicus and the Senate and the People of the Valkanian Empire.

The names of the Foreign Affairs Minister and the Speaker of the Representative Assembly had already been signed.

Minister Banks began to speak, "This is a great day in our histories, gentleman. Now, the Deputy Commerce Minister shall be here short-"

As if on cue, the Deputy Minister, Clark Galsworthy, appeared in the now open doorway to Minister Bank's office. "Hello, gentlemen: brother Ministers, honored dignitaries. I hope I'm not too much of an interruption?"

"Not at all," the Minister of HMAF, Ethan Landry, said, going to embrace his fellow minister.

Minister Banks chuckled and looked to the Valkanians, hoping they weren't offended by the Ministers' behavior, "As you can see, there is a strong sense of brotherhood among the Gileadan Ministers. So much that even high ranking military officials (he said that while eyeing Minister Landry) are willing to break decorum."

His fellow Minister, not feeling an ounce of shame, took their seats.

Minister Landry cleared his throat and proceeded to speak, "I look forward to working with Valkany in securing the North Sea. Given the recent armistice with Saros and their willingness to cooperate in naval operations, we should have an advantage over the fascists. Hopefully, Verskana will come to its senses and work with us whether directly or indirectly. Either way, I see victory in the future."

The Valkanians were kind of posh and obsessed with good manners and behavior codes, but Decimus just like most of the Delegation, had been abroad long enough to let go of these habits, or at least contain them. Showing no sign of being offended or awkwardness he replied as if everything was natural to him;

"Indeed that would be most helpful. In fact we're working on that with the North Sea Trade Federation's Summit which we are attending. Not much of a decisive action but it's till a step in the right direction. And I feel that earlier talk of bases and trade deals is connected to this task, isn't it?"

"Quite right," came the response of Minister Landry, already thinking of strategies,"But the details shall most certainly be discussed once our strategists have been brought together to converse." He then had a thought which stole the smile from his face, though he was still giddy inside, "You know, the Dawinians have an innate fear of the Legantians due to some historical squabble. It shouldn't take much but we should-"

Addison intervened, "His Majesty is already working on that, remember, brother?"

"Oh yes, yes," Ethan responded,"I almost forgot. The meeting was announced to us so abruptly. But it had to be done, for the sake of ending this conflict as soon as possible. I still can't believe-"

"Anyways," Addison hurriedly said, stopping Ethan from rambling on about fascism's evil, dark ways, "It was quite the pleasure having signed the Mutual Defense Treaty, now on to commerce, that oh so essential piece to the puzzle. Deputy Minister, if you please..."

"Thank you, Minister," Deputy Minister Galsworthy began, "Now, I know that our nations already enjoy a pretty good relationship as far as trade goes, but it can be better. A free trade agreement could help us to expand our markets and relieve any dependencies on the opposing nations. In addition, the tax break would be tremendous, especially with our preparations for warfare."

"Indeed. We both have ship convoys and factories that will be crucial to the war effort and it would be foolish to tax each-other's supplies. A strong financial union would greatly solidify our alliance. After all breaking the trade wall between us would give our Dominions and Colonies a break from protectionism."

"Excellent, we shall have an official agreement drawn up and sent for signing as soon as possible. Would there be anything from you all's side to discuss besides what has been mentioned?" Addison said.

"Well seeing that our entry of the UN, the Mutual Defence Agreement and Trade Agreement have already been discussed, I believe we are fine right now." said the Minister;

"Well then," said Minister Banks, rising from his seat, followed by the other Gileadans, "I suppose we're done here. We have made leaps in our diplomatic effort. I'm sure such a friendship only all but ensures victory in Victorium." He extended a friendly hand to shake.

"Indeed. I couldn't have hoped for a more productive meeting." replied the Minister firmly shaking the man's hand and smiling; "Before we go I also have a gift for your excellencies. Two in fact. Firstly I would like to return to you a Gileadean banner captured by Valkanian forces during the Gileadean Revolution. I would also like to apologize that such a relic has been kept by my country in the Imperial Museum for such a long time. And I would also like to gift Your Excellency a Fabergé egg that once belonged to Empress Georgia of Valkany."

Two Valkanian delegates brought the gifts in briefcases, which they opened to show the gifts to the Giledean Minister.

"His Majesty will surely be grateful for these illustrious gifts from his friends. I'm sure it won't be long until they find residence in the Palace of Majesty or somewhere of similar grandeur," the Minister said, smiling, "Shall we walk you all out?"
