GATO
GATO, having PIATs with -AiD- and NTO declared war on FOK but claimed it was a 'side war' and not part of The Unjust War. When TOP came into business because this is a 'side war', and then the MDP with FOK would be legal, they changed their opinion and claimed it was a war which was part of the The Unjust War.

Also, many people were surprised by the move of GATO since they didn't had a MDP with any alliance in the war but rather had a PIAT, Peace, Intelligence, and Aid Treaty. GATO interpreted aid as coming to aid with military force against another alliance when their allies (-AiD- and NTO) asked for it. A PIAT however stands 1 step lower then a TOA which has the following definition:
 * Treaties of Amity (often referred to as TOAs) are a type of interalliance treaty wherein the signatory alliances agree to close bonds of friendship and to provide economic aid or military defense in certain circumstances.
