Article I. Preamble

We the nations of the International Protection Agency, do hereby ordain and establish this charter to protect the rights of its members. We will not disobey it in any circumstances. It will symbolize what we stand for.

'''Article II. War, Peace, and Nuclear Policies'''

If an attack has been carried out by another alliance, the power to retaliate lies within the Emperor, Minister of Defence and the Senate. The Senate will hold a vote upon it, and the Emperor has the right to veto it at anytime. If an attack has been carried out upon a nation of the International Protection Agency, the nation attacked has full clearance to retaliate, however it is required he informs a Department of Defense official.

Peace will be the main key to International Protection Agency. The only times in which the International Protection Agency will go to war is if, 1. An alliance has declared war upon the International Protection Agency 2. An MDP/MADP partner has been attacked and it is our duty to serve under the treaty in which we gave the signed alliance support in terms of defense. 3. An alliance commits an unreasonable act, however, the Senate, Minister of Defence, and the Emperor Attempt to solve it peacefully

As said above, the government bodies will try at all costs to settle any matter and/or difficulties in a peaceful and diplomatic way. However, if the government has done all it has could, and no results have been progressed, the International Protection Agency will defend its member states.

We are a second strike policy alliance and the person using one needs to inform a government official when using a nuclear weapon.

a. Nation to Nation Peace

When a nation just gets out of war with another nation terms are to be set upon peace. Be it that the nations agree to nothing but plain white peace, or if the nations agree to repayments for damages of war. If terms are set the International Protection Agency member is to honorable to the terms and follow through. Be it the International Protection Agency member that was under defense and is to receive payments then the Minister of Defence will calculate damages done to the Nation and will tell the International Protection Agency member of what the repayment price to be.

b. Alliance to Alliance Peace

Peaces through out alliances are wider than that of a nation to nation war. When peace or cease fire is declared between to alliance they are to be honored and no relations are to be taken place. If the International Protection Agency is the defender of the war and repayments are set in the terms of peace then the payments will be set according to the Emperor, Minister of Defence, and the Senate. If the International Protection Agency was the attacker of the war the terms set for the International Protection Agency will be honored and follow through according to the terms.

i. If retaliation does take place during cease fire mode or peace, then the nations that took place in this retaliation will be dealt with by the Senate, Minister of Defence, and the Emperor according to faults made.

'''Article III. Application and Rights of Members'''

In order to join the International Protection Agency and become a full member, one most simply post the following information in the Application Center:

Nation: Ruler: Nation Link: Nation Color: Nation Resources: Who were you recruited by?

After applying the Head of Internal Affairs, or an assistant, will do a back ground check which includes a search of wars and aid. Once that has been done and no wars have been found the applicant will be accepted and masked.

Each member of the International Protection Agency can say whatever they want unless it is uncalled for or inappropriate. If it is found as such it will result in a "warn" when a person has reached 5 warns they will be banned for a day. If the behavior continues it will be 3 days, 1 week, then an expulsion. If a member attacks an unalligned nation, or a rogue, or inactive nation without a government officials permission they will not be aided in any way. If the member comes under attack by another nation a government official will investigate. If the attacker is a rogue we will deal with force. If it was a sanctioned attack there will be further investigation.
