PACT OF LA DORADA

10th of Harren's Folly, 1961

 

PREAMBLE

Since the beginning of the Coalition War the Kingdom of Aaun and the Viceroyalty of Hyspia have fought beside each other in countless skirmishes, battles and sieges.  Both Aaun and Hyspia have agreed time and time again to foster permanent relations with one another.

 

ARTICLE I - SOVEREIGNTY

The United Kingdom of Aaun and the Viceroyalty of Hyspia, or henceforth ‘the signatories’, recognise each other’s sovereignty over their territories, titles, and vassals, including any of the three that the signatories may come to possess in the duration of the pact provided that they were acquired in good faith.

 

 

ARTICLE II - NON-AGGRESSION

The signatories pledge to each other to adhere to principles of peace between each other. They shall not wage war upon one another, nor shall they raise arms against one another, or try to bring harm to the integrity of one another’s realms. This includes but is not limited to: supporting mercenaries and/or bandits in attacks against a signatory; making claims about a signatory with the intent to ruin the reputation of its culture, people, or leadership; and using the well-intentioned articles of this pact to disadvantage another signatory.

 

 

ARTICLE III - MUTUAL DEFENSE

The signatories hereby pledge to assist each other in matters of national defense; an attack on either party by a third party shall be considered an attack against both. Any disputes between the signatories shall first be resolved through peaceful discussion among the leadership of both signatories. In the event that the territorial integrity of either nation is threatened in any manner by an external force, the two shall come together to discuss preemptive measures. 
 

 

ARTICLE IV - TRADE AGREEMENT

The signatories are to provide a free stall free of rent in their respective capitals for each signatory to promote economic growth and ties. Any tariffs that may have been imposed on the signatories beforehand are revoked, and the creation of new tariffs is forbidden for the duration of the pact.

 

ARTICLE V - CULTURAL EXCHANGE

The signatories shall, in coordination and in comradery, exchange cultural knowledge, books, gifts and coordinate cultural events together. The signatories shall stay in contact with each others’ courts to promote cultural comradery.
 

 

ARTICLE VI - EXTRADITION

The signatories pledge to assist each other with extradition requests and shall not support evident criminals with hiding or otherwise escaping from the authorities of the signatory they transgressed in.

 

 

ARTICLE VII - DURATION

This treaty shall be in effect for a period of fifteen (15) years, after which the signatories may convene once again to discuss renewing the treaty.
