Revenge Doctrine

Abstract
Revenge Doctrine is the policy adopted by Emperor TrotskysRevenge of the New Pacific Order on October 29, 2007 that:
 * Reaffirms the tenets of the Moldavi Doctrine.
 * Declares unaffiliated nations on the Red team off limits to tech raid.

The doctrine is sometimes referred to as Red Number 5 because of its similarity to the short-lived FAN doctrine, Yellow Number 5.

Text of Revenge Doctrine
Lately, there has been some "confusion" regarding the New Pacific Order's Color Sphere. Let me dispel this confusion and make it abundantly clear where we stand, and have stood for almost two years.

The New Pacific Order has complete sovereignty over the Red Team.

What this means is simple: we decide who may hold Senate seats on the red team, who may be sanctioned on the red team and so forth. We take our sovereignty extremely seriously and any violations of our rules in our territory will result in action from the Order.

For nearly two years the Order has sought to bring peace, strength and prosperity to the Red Team through the Moldavi Doctrine, and indeed, throughout this time, we red nations have seen an unrivaled stability that has allowed us to flourish.

However, the Order moves ever onwards and it is important that the red team is equally progressive. In so doing, we reaffirm both our commitment and responsibility to the Red Team. We do this by implementing the following policy:

"No nation residing in the red team may be raided."

Henceforth, the New Pacific Order will extend its sphere of protection over any unaligned red team nation being tech raided by a foreign or domestic military. Any violation of this policy will be regarded and dealt with as a violation of Pacifican sovereignty.

As always we will attempt to solve problems via diplomacy before resorting to military action, and we do not promise compensation to the attacked nation, but we do expect any issue to be resolved quickly and to our satisfaction. However, a nation running from justice may not hide behind our shield. A nation seeking to make use of this policy must be on the red team when attacked.

Any attempt to circumvent our sovereignty and bypass this policy will be dealt with harshly.

A strong, sovereign red team is in the interests of every red nation, and I invite to be a part of it those peaceful nations who seek a life outside of the dangers inherent in other teams. Those who come seeking to cause trouble, however, will find it in abundance. The age of international anarchy in the red team is over.

One team, One alliance, One Emperor.

Signed: TrotskysRevenge, Emperor of the New Pacific Order
