Treaty of Palmdale

3rd of August, 2021

The Empire of Aldovir and the Pirate Empire of Tortuga do hereby announce Treaty of Palmdale

As the flames of the Coalition War die down and peace appears to reign over Rathnir once more, the Empire of Aldovir - a fledgling state born out of a hastily-crafted union between half a dozen like-minded nations - sets its sights on its closest neighbours, looking for staunch allies with whom she could prosper through both dark times and otherwise.

As this idea was thrown around in the confines of the Empire’s Small Council, the Overlord of Vanakunir - Skinnyee - and the Governor-General of Newkunir - Berrdd - wasted no time in proudly declaring who the Empire should approach: their longtime friends and allies of the Pirate Empire of Tortuga.

In this spirit, diplomatic envoys from both nations met today - 3rd of August, 2021 - on the small Vanakuniri fort of Palmdale. There, for less time than they had imagined, the two delegations argued and debated the nature and details of an agreement between their two nations which would not only guarantee absolute serenity over their territories and settlements, but also a great deal of growth between their peoples and cultures.

As soon as the Aldoviri envoy returned home, the diplomats wasted not a single moment in declaiming the treaty before the gathered Overlords:

''The Empire of Aldovir and the Pirate Empire of Tortuga hereby proclaim the existence of a military alliance and an economic pact between them. By signing this treaty, the two nations agree to the following terms:''


 * 1) There shall be no conflicts between the Empire of Aldovir and the Pirate Empire of Tortuga. This includes: direct war between the two nations; declarations of war by private citizens; hiring mercenaries or bounty hunters to harm citizens of either nation; damaging the infrastructure or protected spaces of either nation and committing acts of banditry on the citizens of either nation.  In the event of the two nations being dragged into war with one another, the armed forces of either nation vow to seek not to engage the other in combat.
 * 2) The two nations vow to aid each other at all times, both in military and economic terms. This includes: anti-banditry operations; offensive and defensive military efforts; aid in infrastructure projects; joint infrastructure and development projects; joint military training sessions; lend-lease policies; notifications of any form of dissent, treason or rebellion found within the other nation; promotion of mutually fruitful trade deals; etc...
 * 3) Either nation vows to militarily support the other in the event of a call to arms. This term shall hold true for both offensive and defensive wars and can only be ignored should the nation who would issue the call to arms dismiss their ally’s direct support.

Signed,
