OOC: To formalize foreign relations on my end a bit, I only trade and have diplomacy with countries I have some kind of treaty with.
The Oslo Accords
I. Preamble
The world has become a rather erratic place since the thirteenth of so mass destruction of civilization. The signatory nations of this accord recognize that the conditions of peace rely on the creation of a common defense, establishment of friendly relations, and the building of economic ties. We signatories therefore commit ourselves to upholding the obligations as followed in the treaty.
II. Nonaggression Pact
A.) The signatories of the Oslo Accords pledge to refrain from coordinated military actions against other signatory nations. Coordinated military aggression against a signatory member is grounds for immediate expulsion and military retaliation.
B.) Disputes in foreign policy among signatories will be resolved through private channels.
C.) All signatories will maintain open and free trade with other signatories.
III. Mutual Defense, Optional Aggression
A.) In the event that any signatory comes under attack, it is compulsory that all other signatories will come to the assistance of the attacked party.
B.) In the event that a nation closes their ports to a signatory, it is compulsory that all other signatories close their ports to the embargoing nation.
C.) Signatories have the option, but no obligation, to engage in offense warfare alongside other signatories or to aid those signatories economically. Notice of offensive military action by a signatory must be given to the other signatories no less than 48 hours prior to the commencement of hostilities.
D.) Failure of a signatory to notify the other signatories of offensive military action may lead to a vote for the removal of that signatory from this pact.
E.) Signatories shall not engage in offensive military action against any alliance which a fellow signatory is obligated by treaty to defend.
IV. Admission of New Signatories
A.) New signatories may be admitted to this pact by the consent of all existing signatories. The vote shall be made in secret and signatories should refrain from making their vote known to the public.
B.) Admission of new signatories is by invite only.
V. Termination of Membership
A.) Any signatory may terminate its membership in this pact following a period of no less than 48 hours following the notification of the other signatories. Termination of membership removes the former signatory from all terms and obligations of this pact and will not occur until after the aforementioned 48-hour period has passed.
B.) Any signatory may bring forward a motion for the removal of another signatory from this pact at any time. There will be a 48-hour voting period.
C.) All signatories shall be privy to all expulsion proceedings and will not be prohibited from fully taking part in said proceedings.
D.) A signatory may be removed from this pact by an affirmative vote for expulsion from two-thirds (herein defined as 66% + 1) of all signatories, with each signatory getting one vote.
VI. Amendment
A.) The terms of this pact may be amended by a unanimous vote of signatories, with each signatory getting one vote.
VII. Ratification
