The '08 Hangover Accords[]
Article I: Sovereignty
In the signing of this treaty, it must be clear that both organizations and their members will remain sovereign.
Article II: Nonaggression
No member nation of either alliance will declare war on any member nation of the other, provide aid, be it military, money, technology, or knowledge, to enemies of the other, or commit acts of espionage against the other.
Article III: Friendship
The signatory alliances and their members will treat each other with as much respect and decency as they would show one of their own members. Healthy debate and discussion as well as constructive criticism are not restricted, but alliance members are expected to show tact and consideration by going through the proper channels when addressing a concern.
Article IV: Aid
Should one signatory alliance become in need of monetary assistance, it should be expected that the other signatory alliance will be willing to contribute to help meet the demands of said alliance. Article V: Intelligence The signatory alliances agree that they will share any and all information regarding another signatory alliance when the information is obtained. Sharing of information will be conducted in the proper and private channels.
Article VI: Optional Military Assistance
Neither signatory alliance is legally bound to grant requests of military, however, should such a request be made through official channels by one alliance, the other alliance is highly encouraged to participate and required to hold a vote in their council or other form of decision making body. If no request is made by one alliance which is in need of military intervention, it is still highly encouraged that the other alliance participate, although nothing is required legally. In either case, in the event that assistance is granted, it should come as no surprise to the world community.
Article VII: Withdrawal
If either signatory alliance feels that this treaty has been unjustly violated and diplomatic negotiations have not offered any sort of resolution, they have the right to withdraw from the treaty by the express will of their respective decision making bodies. Notification of withdrawal must be given to the other signatory within forty-eight hours. Should this treaty be revoked by either alliance, a 42 hour grace period begins in which neither alliance may declare war on the other, after which no such rules apply.
