The Mutual defence and trade agreement

Message Rating: Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Seeing as Illyriad is becoming rather clustered and "tight" to avoid possible conflict with our neighboring alliances, we have come to a decision to bring about the Act represented below! 

For clarity we have decided to share this with those who are not in the agreement but wish to have clarity as to why the alliances involved our in confederacy or wish to join the agreement at a later date.

Thanks
Harry

The Mutual defence and trade agreement

2011
(The Lancetia treaty)

(1) The introduction of this agreement between the respective 
aliances of nCrow and Minions of Crom, with the further possibility for 
other alliances to join the agreement, is to ensure the consolidation of
 each respective alliances borders*, the further
 strengthening of ties between the four alliances and then mutual 
defense and trade that it will bring.
*Borders as outlined in (1A) is the right to grow and maintain a city
 of that members respective alliance as well as the growth of the 
alliance "hub" and its maintaining.
(1A) Each respective Member alliance will have the right to settle, 
grow and maintain a city in the area of the other respective members 
hubs if it is 10 squares away from another repsective member of any 
other member alliance. However this can be nullified
 if said member has given permission to move within the 10 square 
territory that the moving or settling player wishes to occupy.
(1Ai) If a member of an alliance has enacted this claus and then 
leaves the repsective alliance later, then that player will be allowed 
to stay within the area but is still bound to an additional claus- 
(1Aii)
(1Aii) As mentioned in (1Ai) the player who has left ,ust keep to 2 
sovereign spots in each direction and not without the knowledge of the 
respective alliances still left within the treaty.
(1B) In the event of a war with another alliance outside this 
agreement were to take place that has in the eyes of the other 
respective members of this agreement as not of the doing of the alliance
 in question, then the members of this agreement will see
 fit to provide support and arms where neccesary to aid in the defense 
of the respective alliances "hub"
(2) Trade (This clause will only come into effect if pathfinding is brought in)
(2A) The trade between the respective member alliances will be for 
the sole purpose to better the alliances standings in wealth. This then 
means that if a member alliance wishes to set up a contract either 
permanent or non-permanent for large amounts of
 trade, then they must first contact the other member alliances and lay 
terms there first. If this is then passed without acknowledgememt from 
any said alliance within 3 Illyriad days from the time it was proposed. 
The alliance who wishes to deal with trade
 can then forward this to another alliance outside the agreement.
(3) Diplomacy
To consolidate said agreement, each alliance will enter into confederation to acknowledge the agreement and its terms.
The terms and agreement will also be posted on the forum to provide clarity to all outside the proposed agreement.
In the event of a war, the confederates of nCrow will not have to 
abide by any agreement made by nCrow and thus will not be expected to 
participate in the defense of any other alliance in this agreement*
*However the crow confederates will still protect the wing of nCrow 
and may be contacted for support outside of this agreement in the event 
of hostilities, this does not mean that nCrow will ensure the support of
 the crow confederates but rather that they
 can be contacted outside of the agreement and outside the initial 
knowledge and being of nCrow respectively.
(4)  All past agreements by respective member alliances become 
nullified and void within the new agreement and therefore have no 
bearing on this current agreement and its sanctions and directives.
(4A) If a member alliance continues to break the sanctions and 
directives of the agreement then the other member states will take 
action and come to a conclusion on the fine or punishement.
(4AI) If there is a willing persistance to break the sanctions and 
directives of this agreement, then the other member alliances will take a
 vote to decide the being of that respective alliance and it's place 
within the agreement.

IN SHORT:

1.  The alliances are entering into a confederation and agree to 
defend each other against aggression by other alliances or players. 
 Mutual defense will include supply of arms, resources and reinforcing 
troops as well as breaking siege camps on cities of
 players who are members of confederated alliances.  Member alliances 
may if requested participate in retaliatory strike against players or 
alliances that have committed acts of aggression, however, this 
agreement does not imply an absolute commitment to do
 so.
2.  Members of the alliances can settle within the area defined as 
alliance hubs, but must request permission before settling within 10 
squares of a player in a confederated alliance.
3.  When pathfinding is implemented, the alliances pledge to provide 
access to trade contracts, roads and other trade facilities.
