NoV - TAPS protectorate

Greetings, CyberVerse. I am please to announce that Norden Verein has recently negotiated a Protectorate Agreement with The Alliance of Paladin Soldiers. Treaty of Protectorate Status Upon ratification of this treaty, which signifies the signatory alliance's approval of all terms, both explicit and implied, contained herein, The Alliance of Paladin Soldiers (herein also known as TAPS) will become a protectorate of the Norden Verein (herein also known as NoV). Norden Verein protectorate status is meant as a means of strengthening and protecting weaker alliances which, the Norden Verein firmly believes, have the potential to be great states in their own right and become productive members of the Cybernations community. Upon signing the protectorate and Norden Verein agree to observe the terms stipulated below. Article I - Mutual Treaties Section I: The nature of the relationship between Norden Verein and the protectorate is such that it shall automatically constitute a Mutual Attack/Defense Pact between the two. Section II: The protectorate must submit all new treaties and agreements to the Norden Verein for approval in order to insure there is no conflict of interests or potential problems. Norden Verein will have 24 hours to approve or deny said treaties. If Norden Verein fails to act within 24 hours The Alliance of Paladin Soldiers have full authority over said treaty or agreement with no repercussions available for Norden Verein. The Alliance of Paladin Soldiers does however wish it to be completely understood and agreed that no intentional breach of contract shall ever be conducted. Any and all controversial issues will be discussed before request for approval is made.
