WALL Coalition Articles of Agreement
THe WALL shall be a group of alliances who abide by the following articles of coalition:
Article I: Recognition of Sovereignty
Member alliances who sign these articles are to always be considered sovereign alliances. This document should in no way violate or interrupt upon either alliances right to sovereign decision making. No alliance member in this coalition shall use the name of The WALL or even imply its involvement, as a threat or leverage tool against an outside alliance, or to coerce other players and alliances unless authorized by an authority from the other alliances and in the name of the entire coallition.
Article II: Mutual Defense
In the event that a signatory of this pact falls victim to uncalled for attacks from an aggressive third party alliance or alliance members it is up to The WALL Council of leaders to provide POSITIVE aid in the form of military and economic support. The Leadership of the attacked alliance will define a delay time fo providing support to allow the alliance time to resolve the problem, but within twenty four hours game time of the attack notification ALL alliances in WALL will send supporting troops to the defense of the member alliance. The minimum force will be 10 ballista ships and 10 gunsman. The intent of this rule is to make one person's attack an attack on all persons by commiting troops automatically and placing troops of all alliances in harms way. The attacked alliance leader will also make a formal request that defines the economic support required form other members.
All signatories are expected to share intelligence of any anticipated threats to any member alliance's security.
Article III:. Mutual Aggression
All signatories may request the other alliances to jointly enter a non-defensive war with any third party or request funding for said war. The level of funding will be a matter of negotiation between the attacking alliance and other members of WALL. Cooperation is a required facet of this pact, unless bound by treaty to non-aggression or neutrality by a seperate treaty. In this case the alliance who does NOT participate will formally inform all WALL alliances and non-cooperation will not reflect poorly on the alliance holding the conflicting treaty.
Article IV:. Nonaggression
None of the alliances shall engage in aggressive action against active players within the other signatories. Inactive players may be attacked by other alliance members AFTER coordination with the leadership of the attacked alliance and permission is formally granted. Cities who attack active players or who attack inactive players without full permission will be expected to pay full reparations within a reasonable time frame and face disciplinary actions from the appropriate respective body in each alliance. All signatories agree not to conduct espionage on the other signatory in any form and to avoid the use of trade or aid sanctions against either alliance’s member nations. A declaration of inter alliance war from either party on the other signatory will immediately render this agreement null and void between those two signatories.
Article VI: Nullification
Should any alliance wish to withdraw from this agreement they must give notice to the other signatories at which point a 72 hour grace period will ensue, in which the articles of this agreement are deemed to be active.
Signature of alliance leadership here shall place this agreement in effect between that alliance and all other coalition members. Change of leadership will not constitute automatic cancelation of this agreement. New leadership desiring to nullify must meet Article VI
