II: Entry
To gain entry to Sirius, an alliance must reside on the blue team, undergo a Q&A and, be approved of by a majority vote of 90% consisting of the current members whom decide to vote. Each member alliance receives one vote in this process If an alliance does not receive a majority vote for entry, they will be eligible to apply again in two (2) months time, after improvement of foreign relations, or alliance conduct.

III: Non Aggression
No member of Sirius shall ever attack another member, on an alliance wide, or single member scale. If an alliance is found guilty of this, they will be subject to immediate expulsion from the bloc. If the attack is confined to one, or a small group of members, 100% reps will be requested, along with a declaration of peace, failure to comply will result in the aggressors being marked as rogues, and barred from all signatory alliances. In addition, members of Sirius are forbidden to raid blue team nations. If a blue team nation is raided by a member of an alliance in Sirius, the alliance must pay the raided nation back it's losses in full. Failure to comply may result in suspension, and if continued, possibly expulsion, from Sirius
