Confederate Tribune

     We the people, of the separate, sovereign, and glorious powers of the North American Confederacy (NAC/NAC 2.0) and Asgaard respectively, do, on this day, the 2nd of September in the year of our lord, 2009, through this literary and official channel, establish and formally recognize an agreement and expression of the friendship, cooperation, and camaraderie that does, and will for the foreseeable future bring our alliances closer together and in so doing propel both ententes relentlessly forward. And in so doing, put in pen what has always embodied the free spirit of our magnanimous diplomatic ambition and what has held the members of these respective states in good standing with each other through thick and thin.

     It is with great pleasure and with great pride that I present to you these Confederates at the Mead Hall Accords, as well as publicly display and confirm the bond between our grand alliances. In these stanza's of diplomatic prose lie the manifested trust, hope, pride, and friendship of our alliances, may it last indefinitely to the distant bounds of the horizon, may it reign, a consummate reminder, of things to come, and lastly, let it be a beacon of hope and stability for our alliances in these turbulent and fundamentally uncertain times.

Rooivaulk ,
Secretary of State of the North American Confederacy.



Hail Asgaard!
Hail the NAC 2.0!
And Hail the continuing bonds of friendship and cooperation!


Confederates at the Mead Hall Accords

Preamble:
With regard of the mutual goal to become closer friends and allies, the North American Confederacy (NAC/NAC 2.0) and Asgaard agree to the terms of this Peace, Intelligence and Aid Treaty with due and required understanding of the given terms and intention to cooperate fully in the areas outlined until such a time as the treaty is negated at a future time.

Article I - Sovereignty
It must be understood that both alliances shall remain sovereign and independent organizations. Either organization undertaking action (aggressive or defensive) against other entities not included in this agreement does so without implication of the other signatory.

Article II - Non-Aggression
No member of the North American Confederacy or Asgaard may participate in, support, or condone military action against a member within the corresponding signatory. If a member nation of either signatory alliance is found to have done this, they will be ordered to offer peace within 24 hours of the initial notification, and pay reparations equivalent to the total damages inflicted. This payment of reparations must not take place if doing so would be in violation of any other treaty, document or instrument of surrender. Defending nations are required to limit retaliation to the number and type of attacks received.
If the attacking nation refuses to offer peace to the defending nation within the specified time frame, without credible reason explaining the lack of compliance to the articles of this treaty, the attacking nation will be expelled from their alliance. Further, the expelled nation is to be considered a rogue by both signatory alliances, and dealt with accordingly.

Article III - Civility
The membership of both the North American Confederacy and Asgaard commit to remaining civil towards each other at all times, particularly in public channels, but also in private, at all times.

Article IV - Financial Assistance
In case of a conflict involving an attack on either the North American Confederacy or Asgaard by a third party, the attacked alliance may request financial aid, and the requested alliance, while not obligated to, is strongly encouraged to send available aid. This article can be enacted by the leadership of either alliance, and legitimate requests for financial assistance include, but are not limited to: rogue attacks, will not take place if doing so would be in violation of any other treaty, document or instrument of surrender. Defending nations are required to limit retaliation to the number and type of attacks received.

Article V - Espionage
Both alliances agree that under no circumstances should the North American Confederacy or Asgaard alliance engage in espionage against the other. Further, should a signatory receive information that points towards a possible leak in another signatory's security, this information must be shared and discussed immediately.

Article VI - Intelligence
Neither signatory alliance shall withhold information from the other signatory alliance that constitutes a direct threat to the security, reputation, or well-being of the other signatory alliance. Both signatories shall strive to keep the each other informed of non-emergency situations as often as possible.

Article VII - Senate
All senators from both alliances agree not to sanction members of the other signatory alliance. However, such sanctions may be placed against nations declared rogues by both alliances.

Article VIII - Termination
Termination of this pact requires 48 hours notice. This notice is required to be given firstly via private channels. Any intentional or planned violations of the articles within this treaty result in the treaty being considered immediately void, unless otherwise agreed upon by the leadership of both signatories.
