The Garden Gnomes with Hemorrhoids Act

[David Ben-Gurion]

The Garden Gnomes with Hemorrhoids Act
Mutual Defense Pact between The Legion and UCN

Preamble
To protect and maintain the prosperous relations and views of our alliances from aggressors, The United Commonwealth of Nations and The Legion agree to the following terms of mutual defense.

Non-Aggression
In the signing of this pact, the signatories agree that nations of either signatory alliance will not attack a member of another signatory alliance. Should a nation attack a nation in the other signatory alliance, they will be forced to stop immediately and pay fair reparations for the damage they have done.

Sovereignty
In the signing of this pact, it must be clear that both organizations will remain sovereign, as will the members in each alliance.

Defense
In the signing of this pact, both sides agree to come to the defense and aid of the other signatory if an attack is made on said signatory.
Should either of the signatory alliances be attacked by another power, the other is required to come to its assistance with its full strength and resources.

To prevent alliance war chaining if either party is attacked due to being involved in a war against a third party, then the other party is under no obligation to act but may choose to do so.

It must also be clear that this pact is intended to only defend the safety and prosperity of the signatory alliances, and not as a tool to aid in any imperialistic goals of either alliance. To prevent such events from occurring, this pact may be broken to further protect and maintain both alliance's safety and integrity (See Article IV). If there is ever a conflict of interests between multiple MDPs, neutrality is the only option

Termination
This pact may be broken for the reasons hereby outlined in this article.

First, if one of the signatory alliances commits an act of aggression that is considered by the other alliance to be motivated only by imperialistic goals.

Second, if one of the signatory alliances performs acts of espionage or other forms of foul play against another alliance.

Third, if one of the signatory alliances commits or officially sanctions any act, be it military or verbal that is considered immoral by the other signatory alliance. If any of these conditions are met, it is reason for the offended signatory alliance to declare a termination of the pact.

If this pact is to be broken, both signatory alliances must agree to, but are not limited to, the following. First, the offended alliance must notify the offending alliance of their intentions to break the pact at least 24 hours in advance in order for said alliance time to prepare for the change. Second, both alliances agree to a 72-hour period of mandatory non-aggression, in which neither side may declare war upon each other.

Conclusion
This mutual defense pact between The United Commonwealth of Nations and The Legion is signed in good faith. This pact is considered superior to and can override any standard Non-Aggression Pact if ever there is a conflict of interest between them.
