Preamble
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and The Imperial Order (TIO) affirm a common friendship and shared interests.

It’s not rocket surgery
 * Each signatory agrees not to attack or commit acts of espionage against the other signatory. Both signatories are encouraged to cooperate on political or economic matters.

Article 2
A loose tongue spoils the broth
 * Each signatory agrees to share information relating to the security of the other signatory, except in circumstances where there are conflicts of interest due to other treaties.

When the fan hits the roof
