VII - Mutual Protection Agreement
Should either nation be invaded by an outside party, the other nation is bound by
this treaty to declare war on the attacker and remain at war until the alliance
has negotiated a peace settlement or until the attacker no longer poses a direct
threat to the ally.
Once at war, each nation pledges to fully commit itself to the cause of war and
to use all means at their disposal to promptly prosecute the war.
Any cities captured by an enemy and recaptured by an ally shall be returned to
the original owner of the city at a reasonable time.
This alliance is defensive only. The allies may agree to jointly attack a third
party, but if one ally decides to attack a third party and thereby start a war,
the other is not obligated to also declare war, even if the third party later
attacks the ally. Both nations are obliged not to impede on the other nation's war.
If one nation sees the existence of a 3rd partys attack then they are obligated to tell the other nation.
Both parties agree that we will not allow a wave of units of a 3rd party to use a territory of one ally to invade the other. If not possible to stop it (diplomatically at peace, by force at war) inform the other nation.
Then it can be ratified next sunday.
