The SuperFriends Pact

I. Preamble
The undersigned alliances hereby reaffirm their faith in the fundamental rights, dignity, and sovereignty of the signatories and enter into this Mutual Aggression and Defense Pact to fortify, strengthen, and promote the ties of peace and friendship.


II. Sovereignty
While all signatories and their respective members shall remain civil to each other at all times, as well as projecting to the public an aura of unity, it is acknowledged and required that all member alliances shall remain free and sovereign.


III. Peace and Security
All signatory member alliances state that they will not declare war upon any other. Should any member nation so declare, they must offer peace immediately, as well as reparations of no less than 150% of the damages caused by any attacks. No member nation may aid the aggressor so long as that state of war exists. The victim of such attacks may not retaliate in any way for twenty-four hours following notification to their alliance of the war, to allow time for diplomatic resolution, unless the assault includes multiple aggressors of the same alliance or de facto/de jure allies.


IV. Aid
Member nations of signatory alliances may not offer foreign aid to nations engaged in war with either of the other signatory. Any nation that offers such aid must make arrangements for an offer of foreign aid to the other signatory, equal to 150% of the original aid to the enemy nation, to be paid after said war is resolved.


V. Espionage
No signatory alliance will engage in espionage against another. Should any party receive information that indicates a breach of any member's security, they must notify the relevant alliance(s) through secure channels immediately.


VI. War
A. An attack on one signatory is considered an attack on the entire membership of the bloc.

B. All signatories agree to defend other member alliances via military, political, and financial actions in the event that an aggressive war is enacted by an outside alliance or group.

C. Any other signatory may refrain from participation in a defensive conflict with the consent of the engaged alliance.

D. Member alliances will not be required to participate in aggressive wars initiated by another member alliance unless approved by the bloc. Approval for offensive actions must be passed by 2/3 of the current signatories no less than 48 hours before said conflict begins. Voluntary participation in unapproved offensive wars is discretionary.

E. Any other signatory may refrain from participation in an approved offensive conflict with the consent of the engaged party.

F. Aggressive wars commenced by any signatory against another alliance (defined as having 10 or more active members) must be made known to the other members at least 4 hours before commencing.

G. No other signatory may take any action, whether military, political, or financial, on behalf of another signatory without the approval of that alliance. Approval may come from their official bloc delegates, any member of their diplomatic corp, or any government official.

H. The original engaged alliance will serve as the military leadership for any campaign originating with them, or may designate another bloc alliance to fulfill that function. Individual alliances will retain control and leadership of their own military, but will cooperate with the leadership alliance.


VII. Membership
A. Upon ratification of this treaty, additional signatories may be added upon unanimous vote of all current signatories. Prospective signatories will only be considered upon an official invitation and sponsorship of a current signatory.

B. Signatories may be removed from this treaty upon a vote of 3/4 of the remaining signatories for any reason. Failure of any alliance to make a post in the bloc forums for a period of one week, after PMs have been sent to that alliance's official delegates and leader on their own forums, shall be grounds for an immediate expulsion vote.

C. All membership votes must last a minimum of 72 hours, unless the required number of votes is reached at an earlier time, and be preceded by 48 hours of discussion on the bloc forums before voting may commence.

D. All signatories shall have equal representation and an equal voice.

E. All member alliances shall have three official delegates, one of which shall be the primary delegate by that alliance's government. The primary delegate shall have admin rights to the bloc forums and shall be responsible for casting official votes for his/her alliance. Any signatory may change their delegates at any time. The Fark primary delegate shall serve as the Root Admin, but will otherwise have no other additional right or privilege.

Any member alliance who undergoes a merger resulting in a greater than 25% increase in members will automatically have their membership status converted to probationary member upon the date the merger agreement is made. A revote for continuing membership will immediately commence according to the guidelines laid out in Article VII, Section C.


VIII. Violations
Failure of any member nation to uphold the terms of this treaty will result in immediate disciplinary action by that nation's alliance, with the primary punishment being expulsion.


IX. Amendments
This treaty may be amended by vote of 3/4 of the signatory alliances. All amendment votes must last a minimum of 72 hours and be preceded by 48 hours of discussion on the bloc forums before voting may commence.

X. Other treaties
A. Nothing in this treaty shall restrict any signatory from passing independent treaties with any other alliance.

B. All conflicts arising from participation in an outside treaty shall be considered offensive acts and shall require the prescribed voting before bloc action can be required.


XI. Withdrawal
If any signatory alliance feels that this treaty has been unjustly violated and diplomatic negotiations have not offered any sort of resolution, they have the right to withdraw from the treaty by the express will of their respective decision making bodies.

The Random Insanity Alliance and Atlantis, (hereafter referred to as the signatories) hereby commit to uphold the following principles of non-aggression, mutual respect, and protection outlined in this Treaty of Amity.

Preamble

This treaty is signed in good faith, and is based upon the noble ideals of friendship and cooperation common to all of us. It is signed not only in the pursuit of peace, which many times becomes stagnant, but in the hopes that both signatory alliances will work together to actively pursue a better future and to ensure that cooperation will take the place of violence and rash aggression.

Sovereignty

In the signing of this treaty, it must be clear that both signatories and their members will remain sovereign.

Non-Aggression

No member nation of either alliance will declare war on any member nation of the other, provide aid—be it military, money, technology, or knowledge—to enemies of the other, or commit acts of espionage against the other.

Friendship

The signatory alliances and their members will treat each other with as much respect and decency as they would their own members. Healthy debate, discussion, and constructive criticism are not restricted, but alliance members are expected to show tact and consideration when addressing any grievances, namely by making full use of proper diplomatic channels. Any information gathered by one of the signatories with potential impact on the security of the other shall be promptly and privately forwarded to them.

Assistance

Concerning hostile foreign alliances and hostile independent nations, neither signatory alliance is legally bound to grant requests of military action or financial aid from the other. However, should such a request be made through official channels by one signatory, the other is encouraged to participate.

Withdrawal

If either signatory alliance feels that this treaty has been unjustly violated and resulting diplomatic negotiations have not offered any sort of resolution, they have the right to withdraw from the treaty by the express will of their respective decision making bodies. Notification of withdrawal must be given to the other signatory within forty-eight (48) hours. Should this treaty be revoked by either alliance, a twenty-four hour grace period begins in which neither alliance may declare war on the other, after which no such rules apply.

Kids in the Sandbox Pact

Preamble:

This Treaty is written with a high expectation of lots of random insanity activities to come and that both the alliances of Random Insanity Alliance (RIA) and the Auxiliary Army's (AA) friendship and partnership in spamming will only continue to grow as high as the beanstalk in Jack and the Beanstalk.

Article I: Peace

Both of the alliances will continue to promote a peaceful and friendly relations with each other. RIA and AA will build a playground together. AA will provide the sandbox and swing sets while RIA will provide the monkey bars and slides. Members of both alliances will play with each other kindly. There will be no pushing one so hard that he or she will fall off a swing or steal one's bucket while they are building a sand castle. Should a member of one alliance makes the member of the other alliance cries, the leaders of both alliances will come together at the Treehouse of Love and bribe each other with goods and services. When the deal is sealed, all members of both alliances must go back to spreading peace among each other in the playground.

Article II: Intelligence

If one of the alliances see a stranger stealing goodies from the other alliance's snack pack, that alliance must catch that stranger and take him to the other alliance along with the stolen goodies. Should an alliance not do this, this treaty will be declared, "property of the sand."

Article III: Aid

If one alliance falls flat on their face while they were playing on the monkey bars or wherever, whenever or however, it is the duty of the other alliance to help the fallen alliance up to their feet and walk them home.

Article IV: Cancellation

If one of the alliances feel that they no longer need to hold on to the other alliance, they're free to cancel this treaty, provided that they must let the other alliance know that it's over, to stop waiting for them at their "special spot," and hand over all rights of the playground to the other alliance.

Alliances of Planet Bob are invited to read this declaration by The Democratic Order and sign the accompanying Pact.

The Democratic Order's Declaration of Global Neutrality

The Democratic Order (TDO), by principles originating from the birth of the alliance, declares itself to be universally neutral, and peaceful. TDO will never launch an aggressive war without proper cause. As such, TDO is committed to pursuing non-aggressive relationships towards all nations and alliances throughout CyberNations.

TDO values diplomacy above all and will always attempt diplomatic resolution to incidents involving other nations, allied or not. TDO reserves the right to decide when such diplomatic avenues have failed.

This public declaration binds TDO to its neutral, pacifist stance and serves as notice to all its member nations that they must avoid any and all deeds that might contravene this agreement and thereby violate TDO's neutrality.

To this end, we commit that any TDO member nation that engages in the initiation of a hostile act against any other nation will be liable to immediate punishment by TDO. This Declaration places no upper limit on the nature or extent of such punishment, nor shall it in any way limit other formal proceedings being taken against the offending member.

By making public this Declaration and annexed Pact, TDO seeks to gain global support for its pacifism and neutrality, to prevent aggression being brought upon, or by, TDO members and TDO as a whole. We invite other alliances to Assent to this Declaration and Pact.
