The concept of the Assistance, Zeal, Trade, Economic & Combat Treaty, or AZTEC, was first conceived by Prince Arutha of Nueva Vida and was first announced by the original signatories, Nueva Vida and The Grand Lodge of Freemasons, on March 2, 2008. AZTEC is the oldest military bloc still in existence.
It has survived many great eras and it has stood the test of time. Many great alliances have fallen in its service, but the strong endure.
Article I - Membership[]
Admission of an alliance into AZTEC is by invitation only; This invitation will only be extended with unanimous approval of all member alliances.
Article II - Sovereignty[]
Each member alliance of AZTEC remains sovereign, but understands that the actions of one member can affect the others.
Article III - Leadership and Governance[]
Given the gravity of this pact, it is reasonably assumed that the rightful leaders of each member alliance will maintain close and timely contact. As has become the operating tradition of AZTEC, decisions are generally made upon reaching consensus among members through informal discussion, fostered by close friendship and familiarity. In the rare instance that consensus cannot be easily reached, formal decision making procedures are contained in Article VIII.
By convention and through formal agreement regarding bloc decisions, no one person is the "leader" of AZTEC; We work together or not at all. However, as circumstances may necessitate, a spokesperson for AZTEC may be named by and from among its members given strategic need.
Article IV - Economics[]
Each member alliance understands and agrees that the strength of one member is the security of all. This principle guides each of us to consider the needs of our fellows as our own, including (but not limited to) resources trades, technology markets, rebuilding aid, and charitable works. Additionally, AZTEC reserves, administrates, and protects the alliance affiliation called "Aztech" to be utilized (or not) at any time in whatever fashion bloc member leaders determine appropriate.
Article V – Mutual Defense[]
An attack on one member shall be considered an attack on all members.
Should any member come under attack, it is mandatory that all members come to the assistance of the defender. Assistance shall be defined as military, financial, intelligence, and all other form of aids other members are able to provide.
All members coming to the aid of another will use all means available to them to aid the attacked member.
Article VI – Mutual Aggression[]
In the event that one member alliance requires assistance in an aggressive war against a non-AZTEC alliance, all members are required to assist by means of political, financial, and military aid.
Members should notify each other in a timely manner about upcoming military operations, or about potential threats; The element of surprise is best used against foe, not friend.
No AZTEC member alliance may withdraw from (either a defensive, or an offensive) battle until all member alliances have reached a point of exit; Notwithstanding a strategic bloc decision to rotate some or all nation rulers of a member alliance to reserve status.
Article VII – Intelligence[]
If one member alliance receives sensitive information regarding any other member alliance, they agree to share said information and the source of information, with the intent to protect the security and honor of their fellow members. Guides obtained legally from other alliances are not to be shared unless permission is given by that alliance. Information shared between members is to be kept confidential from outside parties unless expressed permission to the contrary is given by the provider of said intelligence.
Article VIII – Remedy, Amendment, Expulsion or Withdrawal[]
AZTEC has thrived for years on the frank, open, and close communication of each alliance's leaders and their memberships. However, disagreements can happen in any relationship. The first and preferred method of resolution is always discussion among the member alliance leaders. If informal debate cannot resolve differences, each AZTEC member agrees to abide by the formal resolution of this Article: Each member alliance shall appoint two delegates to represent them, allowing two total votes per alliance. A three-fourths majority vote on an issue, (including but not limited to; bloc policy decisions, charter amendment, or a final resort vote to expel a member alliance from the bloc,) shall be accepted by each member alliance as binding and final.
A member alliance may at any time withdraw from AZTEC, following the customary and respectful 48-hour private notice period.
