The Cobalt Concordat

The Cobalt Concordat is a bloc which began with Alpha Complex and Exodus Republic. It was announced on June 1st, 2013.

Preamble Whereas the stench of communist treason has spread to the far corners of Planet Bob, and whereas the loyal and free citizens thereof refuse to stand idly by and allow this menace to further. We, the undersigned vow to abide by the following terms and never rest until the filthy communist traitors have been wiped clean from its surface, so help us Friend Computer. Article I: Peace, Intelligence, and Aid (Plug It Into Controller Port Two) All signatories agree to refrain from open hostilities and to provide any aid and information relevant to the ongoing struggle against the treasonous communist menace. Signatories may not engage in wars against one another, as this divides the loyal and freedom-loving peoples of Planet Bob and grants respite to our common foe. Article II: Mutual Defense (Clear And Present Danger) All signatories shall commit themselves to the defense of one another for the preservation of freedom and liberty around the world. An attack on one signatory shall be considered an attack on us all. This will include, but is not limited to, providing aid, intelligence, and direct military intervention on behalf of the attacked signatory. Article III: Mutual Aggression (How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Kill The Communists) All signatories recognize the threat posed by the treasonous communists and their lackeys. Should one signatory engage a communist traitor, all signatories will provide financial and/or military support to their utmost capabilities. Should assistance not be required by the engaging signatory, notice may be given and all signatories may stand down and watch our brother or sister bring the righteous and glorious wrath of liberation upon the traitorous communist. Article IV: Membership (A Time For Choosing) After the initial ratification of this concordat, further signatories may be added by the consent of all of the existing signatories.
