Treaty Between TNI and TSP

[Unibot]

Something is worth pointing out though. The TNI-Europeia Treaty is a detailed treaty as are most of TNI's treaties. The proposed treaty before us isn't like that.

Vague treaties are much more powerful than detailed treaties.



For example you never explicitly state that the treaty only is pertinent to the physical region, The New Inquisition. Since you're imperialist, I presume some of your wilder members probably believe The New Inquisition extends beyond its borders to it's colonies. The clauses trying to address this do a very poor job at articulating the specification of the region, The New Inquisition.

We the <strong class='bbc'>regions</strong> of The South Pacific (hereinafter referred to as TSP) and The New Inquisition (hereinafter referred to as TNI)

The above clauses apply only to the <strong class='bbc'>Nationstates regions</strong> of TSP and The New Inquisition.

You'll note it uses the plural of "region" but does limit that plurality to two regions, so the clause could come to mean all the regions of The New Inquisition.



Also in this clause..

Both TNI and TSP agree to peaceful military relations with one another. They agree not to seek to overthrow the delegacy of either region and not to assist any other region in doing so.

You say won't assist any region to overthrow us.. but what about assisting an organization like say, the former, "Empire" (you use the phrase, 'regions and organizations' in the first and second clauses, then omit, 'organizations' for the third). You also aren't obligated to refrain from assisting say, Sedge from overthrowing TSP because Sedge was an individual not a region (at least TRR argues so). In fact, none of this treaty recognizes the overthrowing of the region by individuals.. yet people like SB are clamoring that this would protect us from Dev-like coups... but Dev was an individual and frankly, if TSP is going to be couped again, very few regions or organizations are going to risk the PR .. but doing it as an individual is possible (like, say Frak).



Now even if TNI assisted, say Dev, they would also be required to provide troops publicly under Article III.. but this could be as simple as a few troops for military aid, a quota is not specified. Would TNI support both sides? Well.. Euro did it to save face and just a post ago, our lovely TNI ambassador was explaining how close TNI works with Euro...



Now cue the withdrawal of association with Euro.. and go!
