The Pacific Ocean Accords

The Pacific Ocean Accords is a agreement between the New Pacific Order and Oceania. It was announced alongside Oceania's declaration of existence on September 1, 2011.

Preamble
The New Pacific Order and Oceania, hereafter referred to as the Parties, agree to the following terms:

Article the First - Non-Aggression
The Parties agree to adhere to a policy of non-aggression towards each other. Neither will engage in military actions against, or any economic or political aid to, an enemy of the other.

Article the Second - Protection
The New Pacific Order shall defend the nations of Oceania provided they abide by the terms outlined in this document. This defense by the New Pacific Order shall consist of, but not be limited to, military, political, and economic assistance as necessary. In the event that the New Pacific Order is involved in a military conflict, Oceania is encouraged but not compelled to provide support if requested by the NPO. However, if Oceania should instigate or engage in hostile behavior (as perceived by the New Pacific Order) of any type towards a third party, this document will be made null and void at the discretion of the Emperor of the NPO.

Article the Third - Intelligence and Consultation
Both Parties agree to not engage in espionage against, and will make all efforts to provide information relevant to the interests of, the other. Oceania shall consult with and seek the approval of the Emperor of the New Pacific Order, or her authorized representatives, for all foreign affairs decisions that could impact both of the Parties. This is to include: any declarations of war, wartime aid or aid which might be reasonably assumed to be high-risk, and the signing of treaties. To this end, both of the Parties will be strongly encouraged to maintain high levels of communication with each other.

Article the Fourth - Amendment and Withdrawal
This agreement may be amended as necessary at any time by authorized representatives of both Parties. Should either of the Parties wish to end this treaty, they may do so at any time by serving notice to the other, with the terms of this agreement to remain in effect for seven days. This article is considered void should Oceania engage in hostilities as outlined in Article the Second.
