Article 5 - Breaking the Agreement

2. If a nation breaks any portion of this pact, a meeting of the Congress (including the representatives from the alliance that nations is a part of) will meet to discuss the punishment for the nation. The Alliance housing this nations is expected to halt the actions as quick as possible, failure to do so will result in the remaining parties neutralizing the threat be it direct or indirect.

But signing an MDP, MAP, MADP or any other treaty that connects the undersigned alliances as a whole to any web, without proper discussion and vote of the council, will be considered an offense and the Council will determine the fate of the alliance in question through a vote.
