Kashmir is a Brown team alliance.

Kashmir believes strongly in the principles of transparency, group involvement, and open source thinking. Internally it has no secret forums or back channels, which allows for every member to be as involved as he or she sees fit. The government serves a mostly administrative role, the membership being the driving force of the alliance. These ideals unite them under the banner of Kashmir.

The Codex

The Codex contains the cardinal rules of Kashmir and is updated on an as-needed or precedent-setting basis. The Codex is by no means all-encompassing so common sense should still be utilized.

Dual Membership

The King may grant dual membership to any foreigner. Violation of the Codex results in automatic forfeiture of dual membership. No foreigner is presently afforded dual membership privileges.

Member-on-Member Attacks

No member shall attack and inflict damage upon another without invitation or consent.

Tech-Raiding

Unaligned nations without protection noted in nation bios are pre-approved as tech-raid targets provided they're not actively selling tech; nations on alliance affiliations of two members or more may only be raided with approval from the King or the Prince (again provided they're not actively selling tech).

Alliance Warfare

Only the King may authorize war or spy attacks on alliances with allies or protection.

Tech-Dealing/Aiding

No member may aid, for the purpose of acquisition of tech or otherwise, a nation whose alliance is at war with another. No member may aid, for the purpose of acquisition of tech or otherwise, ZI listed nations.

Exceptions to any of the above may be made only by the King. Failure to abide by the cardinal rules specified above may result in consequences up to and including expulsion and retaliation.

International Relations

Kashmir's Foreign Affairs Policy (FAP) states the following:

Foreign Affairs Policy

Kashmir recognizes relations with other alliances both announced (via paper) and unannounced (paperless). The exact conditions when paperless are set by the applicable parties. Kashmir considers paperless bonds to be of equal strength to those forged in paper.

Ally	Treaty	Announcement
COBRA	MDoAP	Paperless
New Polar Order	MDoAP	Link
Pirates Of the Parrot Order	oDoAP	Paperless
Screaming Red Asses	MDoAP	Paperless
Sellswords	MDoAP	Paperless
The Imperial Entente	MDoAP	Paperless

While FAP technically replaced the now defunct Kashmir Co-Prosperity doctrine, the spirit of KCP remains.

Kashmir Co-Prosperity stated the following:

Kashmir Co-Prosperity

Kashmir acknowledges that in this world of chaos there are those among us who would stake their right to defend and assist as they please.

Kashmir submits that alliances are bound only by true feelings of friendship and co-prosperity. It is this submission that dictates any aid or assistance, in aggressive or defensive, diplomatic, or economic nature, offered between Kashmir and its friends.

Kashmir contends that this document consists conceptually as an agreement to the principles of non-aggression, optional defense, and optional aggression between Kashmir and its friends.

On July 23, 2018, Kashmir formally signed a treaty for only the second time in its existence, with the New Polar Order. The first instance was with the Magnum Opus bloc, which was signed on December 10, 2016 and dissolved on January 15, 2017. Kashmir considered KCP to otherwise have been intact when both treaties were signed.
