Winter Came Prematurely

Winter Came Prematurely was originally a Mutual Defense Pact and later an Optional Defense Pact between the New Polar Order (NpO) and the Random Insanity Alliance (RIA) announced on November 22, 2011. It was invoked a little over a week later on December 3, 2011 during the Grudge War and led to the Random Insanity Alliance declaring war on Valhalla in defense of the New Polar Order. It downgraded to an Optional Defense Pact on December 25, 2011 per the Spring Is Coming clause in the treaty. It was later upgrade to the Sub-Zero Accords, a Mutual Defense and Optional Aggression Pact.

Morning Frost
The undersigned alliances (hereafter known as the undersigned alliances), in recognition of our friendship, common values and interests and in pursuit of our collective security, strength, and prosperity, enter into this agreement in furtherance of those goals. Furthermore, the signatories commit themselves to upholding the obligations they freely undertake by signing this treaty.

The signatories agree to remain respectful and polite to each other in all channels of communication, public or private. They also resolve to seek diplomatic means to any possible conflicts they may have and will refrain from making empty threats that they will have to back out of at the last minute. Both alliances should look out for each other's well-being, even in the face of such threats from others. As a consequence of their mutual friendship, both parties agree not to attack each other for any reason. Should either party receive information that pertains to the safety or well-being of the other signatory, they will seek to make it known to that signatory, rather than shamelessly covering their own ass. Also, if either signatory has any reason to believe a security breach exists in the other alliance they are to present this concern and any evidence to their other signatory. Additionally, both parties agree not to commit espionage against each other.

Santa Clause
In the interests of common security and mutual defense, the signatories agree that the economic and political well-being of one immediately affects the other. As such, an attack of any kind on one is considered a valid casus belli that must be acted upon by the other. This does not include mere threats but actual, tangible attacks. If a third party manages to find their balls and conducts such an attack on one signatory the other signatory is obligated to defend upon request of the defending party. If said attack was precipitated by compliance with a treaty separate to this one or a previous declaration of war, it is considered a valid casus belli for the other that may be, but is not required to be, acted upon.

Spring Is Coming
On December 25, 2011 the signatories vow to re-evaluate the status of this treaty and if a renewal is not agreed upon the entirety of the Santa Clause will revert down to being completely optional. Also if it is deemed necessary, a signatory may withdraw from this treaty by informing the government of the other signatories in a private and discrete manner. After all signatories have been informed, there will be a 48 hour cooling-off period, whereby the articles of this treaty will still apply to the withdrawing signatory.
