Third Treaty of Arms Convergence

Article 1 – Foundations

1. The United Imperial Armed Forces (henceforth UIAF) shall combine the military forces of the signatories in order to advance the interests of all signatories through imperialism.

2. The signatories shall consist of the founder signatories and all regions admitted under the terms of Article 2.

3. The founder signatories shall be The Land of Kings and Emperors (hence The LKE), The New Inquisition (hence TNI) and Albion.

4. The Emperor of The Land of Kings and Emperors, the Reich Elector of The New Inquisition and The King of Albion shall each be the relevant executive authority for their signatory. Only founder signatories shall have a relevant executive authority.

5. The relevant executive authority representing TNI may only exercise their powers under this treaty with the consent of the Kaiserin of TNI.

6. Each signatory shall have a relevant military authority. This shall be the individual with responsibility for military command under each signatory's own laws.

7. The headquarters of the United Imperial Armed Forces shall be situated on the forums of TNI. The relevant executive authorities and the relevant military authorities must always have complete access to these headquarters.

8. The military forces of each signatory may continue to conduct independent military operations according to their own laws and customs should they wish.

Article 2 – Additional Signatories

1. The relevant executive authorities may by unanimous agreement admit new regions into the UIAF.

2. The relevant executive authorities may by unanimous agreement expel non-founder signatories. Should a signatory be expelled, the terms of this treaty shall cease to apply to them.

3. Any signatory may resign from the UIAF by notifying all other signatories to this effect. Should a non-founder signatory resign, the terms of this treaty shall cease to apply to them alone. Should a founder signatory resign, the UIAF shall be disbanded and this treaty nullified.

Article 3 – Command Structure

1. The supreme military authority of the UIAF shall be the Imperial Military Council. This shall provide oversight and strategic direction to the organization as a whole.

2. The relevant military authority of each signatory shall be entitled to one seat on the Imperial Military Council. The relevant military authority of each signatory may take their seat directly or appoint a representative to take their seat instead. No individual, even if serving as relevant military authority for more than one signatory, shall personally take more than one seat on the Imperial Military Council.

3. The Imperial Military Council shall appoint a Joint Commander through unanimous agreement. The Joint Commander may be removed from office by unanimous agreement of either the Imperial Military Council or the relevant executive authorities. The Joint Commander cannot take a seat on the Imperial Military Council.

4. Subject to the other provisions laid down in this treaty, the Joint Commander shall have sole authority over the operations, regulations, tactics, training, ranks and structure of the UIAF. They may determine if and how this authority is delegated.

5. Each member of the Imperial Military Council shall hold an individual veto over all operations and appointments (including promotions) made on the authority of the Joint Commander. The power of veto shall last for the duration of the operations and personnel appointments in question. Additionally, members of the Imperial Military Council may individually issue orders when they deem an emergency situation to have arisen, and in any other circumstances agreed by the Joint Commander, but such orders may be revoked by decision of the Joint Commander or by the relevant military authority of a founder signatory.

6. The Imperial Military Council may issue orders to the Joint Commander through unanimous agreement. These can take the form of standing orders and may concern any matter falling within the Joint Commander's authority.

Article 4 – Recruitment

1. The relevant military authority of each signatory shall be responsible for recruitment to the UIAF within their region. They may delegate this power to another individual.

2. The Joint Commander may veto a decision to admit an individual to the UIAF.

Article 5 – Enactment

2. Upon this treaty coming into effect, The Emperor of The LKE shall delegate responsibility for strategy, organisation, regulation and command of the Imperial Army to the Joint Commander for the duration of this treaty’s existence.
