THE TREATY OF CONSTANTINE THE GREAT

Preamble

The Legion and The Christian Coalition of Countries have demonstrated friendship and goodwill towards one another for some time. In doing so it is recognised that each alliance has a publicly stated policy of non-aggression without provocation. In this spirit of friendship and mutual values this treaty is written.

Article One: Sovereignty and Religious Understanding

Both of the signatory alliances and their respective member nations recognize and will respect each other's sovereignty and political independence. While the CCC is an alliance whose membership follows the Christian Faith, The Legion is a secular alliance whose membership is drawn from all faiths, and from none. The membership of both alliances will respect these differences.

Article Two: Peaceful co-operation

The signatories will develop good co-operation between them to ensure lasting security. They will refrain from espionage and the threat or use of force against each other and will settle all disputes between them by peaceful diplomatic means. Both signatory alliances shall be resolute in their insistence that their respective members remain polite and civil to each other at all times, especially in public forums and other public venues.

Article Three: Communication

In signing these protocols, both signatory alliances recognize that communication and Intelligence is the foundation for a strong and enduring relationship and that there is mutual benefit for both alliances when open communication and intelligence between them is maintained. To that end, both signatory alliances agree to productive two-way inter-alliance communication and the sharing of intelligence.

Article Four: Defense

This Provision hereby dictates that under any circumstances if either of the undersigned finds itself attacked by a foreign power, the opposite signatory to this agreement is, upon request, encouraged to join in war against the foreign aggressor. The attacked signatory of this agreement maintains the right to waive such assistance.

Article Five: Cancellation

Either signatory alliance may terminate this compact at any time by providing the other signatory alliance with a 48 hour notice of intent to terminate.

The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold, And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold; And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea, When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee. For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed: And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill, And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still! -Lord Byron The Destruction of Sennacherib

Since creation, the Legion has faced countless instances of adversity. From wars, to internal strife to downright carelessness and incompetence. For every answer or safeguard an Alliance has, most of them are first hand lessons from the Legion. It is not our place, nor our directive to seek acknowledgment nor do we seek reward for the services we had offered, because since July 31st 2006, the countless men and women fortunate to be called Legionnaires have driven for but one thing; loyalty. No Alliance can test nor can they doubt the loyalty Legionnaires feel towards our home. Many cannot feel the same feeling many of us thought during the dreadful nights more than a year ago, and even fewer could understand such feelings. To be a Legionnaire is to be different from the rest, in the end we are all human but beyond that we part ways. To each his or her own, but to each Legionnaire comes the values of strength, honor and self-sacrifice. Numbers beyond count have sacrificed so much for the Legion, and the Legion has thanked them by doing the only thing no others can do. And that is survive. The Legion has not survived because of luck or because of mercy, we have survived because of loyalty, the willingness and ability to sacrifice. The Legion is an idea in a world of similarities, it is a different but strong idea, and when the people entrusted with guiding the Legion failed and abandoned their duty, they also abandoned their future loyalties. But a few others refused such actions, and set aside themselves for the greater good. How many can claim such in the same? And how many can claim by numbers they may not be strong, but by the heart and soul of any Alliance, the members, can they claim to be unbreakable? None. -ParkerBaby 01-31-2009, 10:32 AM
