As agreed upon on the 20th of Sigismund’s End, 1966



Between the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun and The Most Serene State of Lurin

 

---

 

ARTICLE I - SOVEREIGNTY

The Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun and the Most Serene State of Lurin, or henceforth ‘the parties’, recognise each other’s sovereignty and the rule of their domains, and their respective monarchs. 

ARTICLE II - NON-AGGRESSION 

The parties 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 sovereign nation.

 

ARTICLE III - CLAIMS, BORDERS AND ROADS

The parties agree that, in aid of peace and mutual understanding, as well as the inviolability of borders, that territorial claims shall be treated as the sovereign right of each party to designate, the forsaid not to be disregarded or maligned in any way;

 

And recognising this to be an undeniable truth, the parties commit forever to uphold and not to infringe on their mutually agreed territorial claims, either by claiming in any way or settling meddling dishonoring or subverting the forsaid.
That is to say;

 

I. That the northern crossroads of the Floodplains shall be the sovereign right of the party of the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun to claim entirely alone and forever; 

 

II. That the Crownlands shall be the sovereign right of the party of the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun to claim entirely alone and forever;

 

III. That the midplains shall be the sovereign right of the party of the Most Serene State of Lurin to claim entirely alone and forever;

 

IV. That the southern Lurin coast shall be the sovereign right of the party of the Most Serene State of Lurin to claim entirely alone and forever if so is deemed appropriate by its leadership.

 

V. The parties agree to work together in order to enhance the quality of the roads connecting both nations. The Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun agrees to work on better connections between roads as well as the addition of clearer directions to the Most Serene State.

 

ARTICLE IV - TRADE AGREEMENT

The party of the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun accepts and allows a merchant quarter to be built within the aforementioned crossroads for the purpose of selling goods to any and all passersby. 

 

ARTICLE V - DIPLOMATIC PRINCIPLES

I. The parties jointly agree on the principle of the exchange of envoys to each others governments to aid and facilitate dialogue and mutual understanding; to this end, the party of the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun will send an envoy pro-tempore to the Most Serene State, and the reverse party is willing to be summoned for diplomatic meetings on request of His Majesty’s Government. 

 

II. The parties jointly agree on the principle of the inviolability and immutability of diplomatic freedom; that is to say, envoys or any other messengers of government shall have freedom of movement within each party’s territory; further, they shall not be prosecuted by local or national authorities on any suit civil or criminal unless their home country waives their right to their said immunity.

 

III. The parties reserve the right to formally expel a diplomat that they consider to have severely undermined the national integrity and order of either party’s realm.
 

ARTICLE VI - EXTRADITION 

The parties pledge to aid one another in the case of extradition at given request and shall not lend any assistance to known criminals sought after by either of their righteous governments.
 

ARTICLE VII - ON FAITH AND PREACHING

I. The party of the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun recognizes that the Most Serene State of Lurin is a nation with freedom of faith and religion and will remain as such.
 

II. Though the party of The Most Serene State of Lurin also recognizes that, among its populace, are Canonists deserving of guidance that can only be provided by the Holy Canonist Church.
 

III. And thus the party of the Most Serene State of Lurin agrees that all priests of the Canonist Church sent by the party of the Apostolic Kingdom of Aaun will have the freedom to tend to the needs of Canonists within Lurinite lands so long as they respect its citizenry and those that do not identify as Canonists.
 

IV. The parties agree that, should any trouble between the Canonist priests and the Most Serene State arise, the problems will be solved with the call of a meeting between representatives of both nations.

 

ARTICLE VIII - DURATION
This Agreement shall be in effect for a period of twenty years, after which the parties shall convene once again for renegotiations.
