We will work hard to defend peace and freedom for our members at all times. Paix realizes that war is sometimes inevitable, so the following guidelines are being put in place that would make Paix engage in a war, if diplomacy does fail:

1. When war has been declared on us or one of our allies. 2. If one of our members is attacked by a member of another alliance, and all attempts at diplomacy have failed to end the hostilities. 3. In defense of another alliance due to treaty obligations. 4. Spying will be deemed as an act of aggression against our sovereignty.

Article 5.01: Tech Raiding Policy Tech raiding is strictly prohibited by Paix members.

Article 5.02: Spying Paix views spying as an act of aggression with the intent to inflict damage. Therefore sending spies for any reason will be considered an act of war.
