| Message | Oh yeah. For easy reference (In case you have a slow connection or you're like me and sometimes use your PSP to get here because you have no other choice): {Put forward at the request of the Tribunary Faction Party of Pontesi) Proposed Members: Republic Of Pontesi United Federation of Malivia Democratic Republic of Barmenistan Federal Democratic Republic of Vanuku Most Serene Republic of Darnussia Selucian Empire Cildanian Republic The 'Septuple' Entente the treaty would be as follows: We, the sovereign nations of the Southern Ocean, to ensure the individual sovereignty of our respective nations, to prevent internal or external armed occupations or disruptions of our sacred democratic institutions and to ensure that any loss of life as the result of such a conflict external or internal is kept to the lowest possible minimum, have hereby begun participation in a reciprocal and binding military alliance which shall forever assist us in these goals. Article 1: Hereby, we nations of the South Ocean, in the event of an armed disruption or occupation in the democratic processes, government, or people within any of our respective nations, shall each unquestionably grant immediate, total and exhaustive military assistance to the signer who requests assistance or is in recognizable need of it. Those who trifle with any of the individual nations of the South Ocean entente will be enemies to all and can expect the combined military of each to defend its opponent. Thus for hostile revolutions, socialist, nationalist, fascist; the responsibility of the nations of the South Ocean entente guarantees their defeat. Article 2: If any nations of the Entente are to betray and attack one of the other members, their membership shall be voided and all members must treat this nation as an enemy as in Article 1, and swiftly subdue the threat It poses through methods of peace or otherwise. Article 3: If any member of the Entente wishes to withdraw from the organization and if, and only if, it is deemed through wise considerations that their withdrawal poses a significant threat to the Entente and is carried out with the intension of military agression against the Entente, there is to be a Entente-wide vote as to whether a pre-emptive action is to be undertaken. Pre-emptive action shall be decided upon by the will of 3/4 of all nations in the organization, who are to base their judgement on whether the nation in question's withdrawal is carried through to pursue military aggression. If it is voted that the withdrawing nation does pose such a threat, there are three options, the first must be approved by 2/3 of the nations once action is voted for, and is the compelling of the withdrawing nation to sign a nonaggression pact through peaceful means, the second requires unanimous consent, and is to compel the nation through any means nescessary to forgo military action, the third, if none of these measures passes on vote or is selected of itself by a majority, is the economic isolation of this nation. At any point, with a vote of 2/3, the Entente may reverse itself and allow the nation to withdraw without consequence, if it is deemed that in actuality it poses an unsubstansial threat. This policy shall not be used to discourage withdrawal from the Entente and is simply a guidline to preventing war in the result of a change in the South Ocean situation. Article 4: If a Entente nation wishes to commit war on another, nonaligned nation, a vote must be held and must have 5/6 approval of the Entente to pursue. Article 5: all articles of foreign policy of individual nations which have an significant and universally recognized impact on any of the Entente nations must be subject to a 2/3 vote by all nations as to whether it shall be approved or, if challenged, upheld. Internal affairs are independent and free from the Entente, under the Soverign jurisdiction of the national government. Article 6: a Entente leadership shall be established with the representatives of each head of state, each head of government, if there is one, the largest party, if this is a different party, and the second largest party, if this is not involved in head of government or head of state duties. In a nation where Entente headquarters shall be built they shall convene once yearly at least, and in a nation appointed by 2/3 of the nations involved. Article 7: No more than 9 nations shall be members of the Entente, including the seven proposed. Article 8: The Entente Organization with a 6/7 vote may void the membership of any member if it supplies an adequate and recognized explanation. The member may appeal to an international court. Article 9: Any treaties which follow similar courses as the FSOE or compromise a member's obligations to the FSOE must be withdrawn from by members. For the South Ocean!

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
