Assailant: Any nation, alliance, or block of alliances responsible for an act of direct aggression.
Direct Aggression: Actual or attempted military action or economic sanctions by a party against a second party, except in the following circumstances:
i) When the first party is responding to military action or unjustified economic sanctions initiated on them by the second party; or,

iii) Actual or attempted acts of espionage.
Indirect Aggression: Indirect aggression shall mean:
i) Actual or attempted acts of conspiracy, harassment, or other acts intended to cause harm; and
ii) Actual or attempted military actions or economic sanctions by a party against a second party, where such actions do not constitute Direct Aggression.
[edit] Article 2 - Information
i) Signatories shall disclose to other signatories any information that could reasonably be expected to be relevant to the well being of that signatory. ii) Signatories shall provide reasonable advance notice and full details of their intentions to all other signatories prior to initiating Direct Aggression against a non-member under Article 5, paragraph (ii). iii) Signatories are required to give reasonable advance notice to all other signatories if they intend to sign any treaty requiring mutual or unilateral defense from aggression with a non-signatory. iv) Signatories shall respect the privileged nature of all information received in such manner, and shall not disclose said information without the written permission of all signatories and OTPs directly involved, unless withholding said information would be a violation of Article 2, paragraph (i).
[edit] Article 3 - Aid
i) Any signatory may request aid from other signatory for any reason. Such requests shall include the rationale for the aid request and the nature of the aid required. Provision of such aid is strictly voluntary unless withholding aid would cause a violation of Article 3, paragraph (ii), and the signatory providing the aid shall determine the nature and amount of any aid they provide. Such aid may include, but is not necessarily limited to, the provision of troops, financial assistance, diplomatic measures, or military assistance not otherwise covered by Article 4. ii) In times of war or reconstruction after war, such aid is mandatory to comply with mutual defense conditions.
[edit] Article 4 - Defense
i) Notwithstanding Article 3, all members shall immediately provide adequate military and financial assistance in defense against direct aggression against a signatory, unless the attacked signatory expressly waives such assistance, or under the circumstances detailed in Article 4, paragraph (ii). ii) Should a party with whom signatories hold diplomatic treaties (OTPs) initiate direct aggression against a signatory, signatories shall immediately provide official notice of cancellation of said treaties to the aggressor(s). Signatories shall only be required to provide assistance in accordance with Article 4, paragraph (i) after the notice of cancellation period for said treaties has elapsed.
[edit] Article 5 - Aggression
i) Signatories shall not initiate direct or indirect aggression against any other signatory or against an OTP. ii) Signatories retain the sovereign right to use direct or indirect aggression, either alone or in coordination with other signatories, in retaliation to indirect aggression against a signatory or direct aggression against an OTP by a party not protected under Article 5, paragraph (i).

New alliances may be invited to become signatories by unanimous vote of the current signatories. Upon acceptance of their invitation, the invitee shall be added to the list of signatories, and shall immediately be subject to all rights and responsibilities of this treaty.
