26 and 47 Accords - Electric Boogaloo

26 and 47 Accords - Electric Boogaloo is an Mutual Defense and Optional Aggression Pact signed between the Independent Republic of Orange Nations and Argent on 29 June 2011.

Introduction
In effect since 2/2/09, the original 26 and 47 Accords was Argent's oldest existing treaty, I am very happy to see it upgraded and re-announced almost 2 and a half years later.

-Janax

Preamble
In recognition of the mutual respect and good will prevalent in these two alliances, Argent and The Independent Republic of Orange Nations (referred to as IRON), hereby enter into this treaty.

Article I. Sovereignty
By affixing their signatures hereto both parties to this treaty, namely Argent and IRON, make it clear that each will remain sovereign alliances, independent from one another. Although this is a given, we'll leave this here to annoy people.

Article II. Non-Aggression
No member nation of either alliance is to commit aggressive acts against the other signatory. This includes providing military, financial, or technological assistance, or information of any kind to any outside party hostile to the other signatory. Except when involving NAH and/or Poobah, because &$!% them, that's why.

Article III. Friendship
Both signatories agree to treat members of the other signatory with respect and cordiality, again, except for Poobah and NAH.

Article IV. Assistance
Any information gathered by one of the signatories with potential impact on the security of the other shall be promptly and privately forwarded to them, or we hit up CNTel, one of the two. In the event of a hostile act upon either signatory alliance, aid may be requested, be it diplomatic, material, or other forms of support. The other signatory is not contractually obligated, however, but it would be a lot cooler if they did.

Article V. Defense
If one signatory should be attacked, it's on, probably like Donkey Kong. However, this treaty be non-chaining yo.

Article VI. Offense
If it's time to roll tanks, the signatories may or may not roll together. Either way, the option is always there.

Article VII. Espionage
Neither alliance may directly participate in espionage of any type, regardless of situation and target. Just don't do it. Even if Lennox asks nicely, you should say no.

Article VIII. Termination
Should either signatory feel that this treaty is no longer an accurate demonstration of the good will between the two signatory alliances for any reason they may cancel this agreement by contacting the other signatory through proper diplomatic channels and notifying them forty eight (48 hours prior to the public cancellation, during which time the non-aggression clause must be adhered to.
