Article 2 – Peace

A. Current State of Peace
A current state of peace is mutually observed and agreed to be in effect between the Signatories and that each Signatory joins into this contract of its own volition with the intent of preserving and maintaining peace.


Article 3 – Intelligence

A. Information sharing
It is the mutual desire of both parties to remain in contact in order to achieve the highest quality of diplomatic relations. They vow to do so on a regular basis with ambassadors, visits to offsite forums, and through the use of IRC Channels.
In the spirit of teamwork, the signatories are encouraged to share all information that may be relevant with each other. They will not refrain from disclosing information to the other signatory provided that said information does not compromise the security of the originating alliance or damages said alliance in any way, shape or form.


Article 4 – Prohibited Acts of Aggression

A. Espionage
That the Signatories agree that Espionage is a clear and present danger to lasting peace and they agree to prohibit its use against the other.

C. Acts of War
