IRON - FEAR Treaty of Amity

 IRON - FEAR Treaty of Amity''' is a Treaty of Amity signed between the Independent Republic of Orange Nations and Fellowship of Elite Allied Republics on 12 April 2008.

Introduction
One day, the evil dark queen of IRON was sitting on her computer and chatting with the bespectacled Lord Boris of another kingdom called FEAR. She chatted with him fairly frequently as her conversations with her fellow co-rulers in IRON had grown droll (they had restricted her from eating all the kingdom's eclairs over some minor bakery store revolt). She spent many a night complaining to the often awake at odd hours Lord of FEAR about how hungry she had grown and how the loss of a few pounds had taken away some of the kick in her step. It was indeed true, however, that she struggled to lift her legs considering how much girth they had to support.

After chatting fairly frequently, the other leaders of IRON had found that the fat queen had become less homicidal towards them and even had learned to live without eclairs. They had noticed that the morbidly obese queen had received several large deliveries from a brown delivery service after each talk. Little did they know that Lord Boris was sending her some eclairs specially made in the kingdom of FEAR. DarkMistress, in return, sent jars of Nutella to Lord Boris.

Several weeks passed and it occurred to Shan Revan, the Aussie king of IRON, that the queen seemed to only be growing fatter since they banned her from eating all the eclairs of IRON. After consulting with Bill N Ted, the evil IRON ruler, they realized that indeed, the fat Mistress had been finding an alternate source of eclairs. They spoke amongst the other leaders of IRON and decided that Lord Boris was indeed a good friend to them as he had managed to assuage DarkMistress' eclair cravings and by proxy, her anger towards them. To show their appreciation for such friendly help, they sat with Lord Boris and decided that their two respective kingdoms should sign a pact to show each others amity towards each other.

Cheers ;)
