Treaty with the LKE Preamble: We, the governments of the regions of The Land of Kings and Emperors, hereafter referred to as the LKE and The New Inquisition, hereafter referred to as TNI, hereby do entre into the following alliance in order to cement the relationship between our two regions. We enter into this alliance in the spirit of friendship and with the desire to reaffirm the old ties that these two regions once enjoyed. Article 1 - Non-Aggression against Signatories 1. No Signatory shall conduct military operations against another Signatory Region. 2. No Signatory shall directly or indirectly support military operations against another Signatory Region. Article 2 - Defence of Signatories Under Attack 1. Where any Signatory Region has had military action conducted against it, then the other Signatory that is aware of that action must provide as much military support as it can provide without resulting in a significant threat to its own military security, and will do everything possible to mobilise that support. 2. A Signatory is aware of military action when it has been informed on its forums or on its Regional Message Board, or when it has noticed the action itself. 3. Paragraph 1 does not apply for a Signatory under Paragraph 2 when the military action in question is conducted by an ally of that Signatory. 4. For the purposes of this Article, an ally of a Signatory is a region with a Treaty with a Signatory that provides positive material benefit to a Signatory going beyond non-aggression. Each Signatory must inform the other Signatory of their allies. Article 3 - Counterattack 1. Where a Signatory Region has had military action conducted against it by any other region or organisation, the other Signatory will provide as much military support as can be given for the purposes of any counterattack that the Signatory may wish to undertake, without causing a significant threat to its own military security. 2. In order Paragraph 1 to apply, the Signatory in question must have informed the other Signatories of its intention to make a counterattack within one month of the last military action, and in any case does not apply if two months have passed since the last military action. 3. Paragraph 1 does not apply for a Signatory required to provide military support under that Paragraph when the military action in question is conducted against an ally of that Signatory. 4. For the purposes of this Article, an ally of a Signatory is a region with a Treaty with a Signatory that provides positive material benefit to a Signatory going beyond non-aggression. Each Signatory must inform the other Signatory of their allies. Article 4 - Other Military Support In situations that do not fall elsewhere under this Part, each Signatory will endeavour to provide military support to the other Signatory when requested by that other Signatory, and where it is consistent with their own policies. Article 5 - Non-Transmission of Information to Non-Allies 1. A Signatory may not pass on any information that concerns the military or security of the other Signatory to any party, unless the Signatory that the information concerns gives its consent. 2. Paragraph 1 applies to, but is not limited to, information about military operations and intelligence operations. 3. A Signatory may not pass on any information provided by the other Signatory unless that information is already in the public domain or if the Signatory providing the information gives its consent. Article 6 - Intelligence Requests Each Signatory will endeavour to provide information to the other Signatory when requested to do so by that other Signatory, when it is within their power to provide it, and where it is consistent with their own policies to do so and where it is consistent with Invisionfree terms of service. Article 7 - Training Exercises Signatories will endeavour to undertake military training exercises together, including exercises in Warzones, for which they will use as much of their military as they can reasonably mobilise. Article 8 - Diplomatic Support Each Signatory will endeavour to provide diplomatic support to the other Signatory where it is possible for them to do so while being consistent with their own policies. Article 9 - Cultural Activities Each signatory will endeavour, where appropriate and/or possible to engage in social and cultural activities with the other signatory. This can include, but is not limited to, festivals, competitions and university sharing events. Article 10 - Embassies and ambassadors Each signatory shall prepare a designated embassy for the other signatory on their forums and shall provide a representative from their region who will act as an ambassador from their particular signatory region. Each signatory will endeavour to keep the other up-to-date on their regional affairs. Each ambassador shall behave in a respectable manner towards the signatory region. This includes, but is not limited to, the obeying of regional laws where it is applicable and following any ambassadorial protocol that the signatory region has already in place. Either signatory region may request that the ambassador sent to them by the other signatory be replaced if it is deemed that the above clause has not been followed appropriately by that individual. Article 11 - Recognitions Upon signing of this treaty, the region of TNI hereby recognises Onder as the rightful monarch of the LKE and his heirs the rightful heirs to the LKE throne. TNI recognises the current LKE government and other regional institutions as legitimate. Upon the signing of this treaty, the region of the LKE hereby recognizes Kaiserin Viktoria as the rightful monarch of TNI and her heirs the rightful heirs to the TNI throne. The LKE recognizes the current TNI government and other regional institutions as legitimate. Article 12 - Termination of Diplomatic Relations Either signatory may, at any time terminate diplomatic relations with the other.
