Isis Rakael - NX401 Announcement

To: The member nations of Tiberiam
From: Glin Aeducan, President and Commander in Chief of Isis Rakael

It is with great honor that I may issue this statement to the region this day. I offer my sincerest appreciation to the Chancellors of our southern neighbor, the Judicial Republic of NX401. Your willingness to work with us and the hundreds of hours you poured into helping us hammer out the details only further solidifies in my mind that we are taking a step in the right direction. Thank you, and may our nations thrive under this new era.

Tiberiam, I write this to you today to inform you that after long discussions, the Democratic States of Isis Rakael and the Judicial Repiblic of NX401 have come together to sign the IR-NX401 Accords, a treaty of non-aggression and mutual defense.

The people and government of NX401 have proven themselves to be stout, devoted to the cause of anti-terrorism and we are proud to stand at their side to defend them against any and all threats that dare to challenge our resolve. This treaty will serve to strengthen both of our nations, both militarily and financially. Additional trade routes will be opened in order to provide our new allies with new resources and aid whenever the need arises. We stand ever ready, and they stand with us.

This treaty is not, however, solely about military strength against a common enemy. It also serves to strengthen the peoples of both nations. To provide new opportunities. New trade routes and increased tourism to both nations will create thousands of new jobs and help to boost the economies of both nations. It will allow both nations to take a more active role in helping to ease the suffering of those who are less fortunate due to the influx of new resources and foreign assistance. To assist in the building of new schools and new hospitals to further education and promote proper healthcare. This treaty is for the people.

Would a third nation be allowed to enter the NX401-IR Accords?

(OOC: There seriously need to be a Quick Reply box.)

Short answer: If it were agreed upon by both signatories, then yes, a third nation could be added to the Accords (naturally, the name of the IR-NX401 would change at that time).

Given your current situation with the nation of Rasvidi, however, I would have to deny your request for any type of pact until the resolution of the aforementioned issue. To ally with you now would compromise my current position as a neutral third party and would be unfair to the government of Rasvidi.

You are free to approach NX401 separately. NX401 retains its sovereignty and they are free to do as they choose, so long as it poses no risk to the security of Isis Rakael.

Note that if you were to sign a treaty with NX401 and then be attacked by a foreign enemy, NX401 would be bound by their treaty to aid you, but Isis Rakael (even through the IR-NX401 Accords) would not be required to assist. Should an attack be made on NX401 on their own soil, however, the Rakaelian military would respond in full force to defend NX401, but as before, would not be required to assist the nation of EEE in their defense. A separate treaty is not chaining to those already in place.
