Major Posts: 1,973 Group: Members Member #377 Joined: October 3, 2007	The Transatlantic Treaty Organization *PRELUDE* The parties of this treaty, Reaffirming their support of peace, justice, brotherhood, and unity, as well as the desire for international cooperation between the free states of this world, Building upon their divers cultures and their beloved liberties, sovereignties, and unities, Wishing to exist as a means of protecting the freedom and security of those men who live in liberty, and helping others gain that liberty, And desiring a means to further the protection of our peoples through a means of communication and coordination, Hereby establish this pact as a means to protect our common values and liberties. I This treaty shall outlast changes in heads of states, and shall remain in place until a member state desires a termination of the treaty. In the interests of promoting relations between member states, diplomatic presence must be maintained by each member state, in each member state. II This treaty is open to all nations in Europe, North Africa, the Americas, and Western Africa that demonstrate measurable granting of civil liberties, human rights, equal opportunity, and rule of law for all citizens. New member-states will be voted in by the current constituent states. A majority is needed to enter. III This treaty has been established to ensure the sovereignty of each government as it stands. It will not and cannot violate decisions passed through established constitutional procedures. This means that member states will not be restricted in their participation in other international organizations, and will not be bothered with regards to their internal affairs provided they do not conflict with the criteria to be a signatory to this treaty. IV This treaty will work to establish closer trade agreements between member states. It is encouraged, though not required, that tariffs and import taxes are removed or lessened. V Member states will be encouraged to open their military production markets to other parties of this treaty, and this pact should act as a medium for arms trades between allies to take place. The arms trade, however, is not required, and secret military technology may be kept to its host nation. VI Member states are actively encouraged to share intelligence between each other. In the interests of coordinating certain actions, this suggestion is of high importance- especially with regards to crisis scenarios. VII This treaty has been primarily established as a means for mutual defense of nations in the face of an attack. All the undersigned reaffirm their faith in mutual defense and protection from aggressors, and recognize mutual defense to be amongst the primary reasons for this treaty’s creation. VIII The parties undersigned agree to cooperation in criminal justice- this goes to the extent of exporting known criminals wanted in another member state, working to prevent human and drug trafficking when applicable, and working to find wanted criminals. IX The headquarters of this organization will be in Miami, Florida, in the Confederate States of America. All member states must send a delegation to Miami for the sake of keeping communications open and ready. X The military command center of this organization will be in Montréal, Québec, in the French Republic. All member states are encouraged to send a military delegation to Montréal for the sakes of coordinating military strategies, international intelligence, and the military technology trade, should the need for any of these arise. Signed, Georges Duval President of the French Republic Daniel Montgomery President of the Confederate States of America Richard M.

As a nation that has seen many horrors itself, and has still managed to build itself up as a free and democratic nation, we identify closely with Marslavan history. We hope a prosperous relationship can be arranged."

Major Posts: 1,844 Group: Members Member #106 Joined: February 26, 2005	Great New France is interested in strengthening its relations with the Transatlantic Treaty Organisation but would like to have formal guarantees that the Treaty in no way can undermine national sovereignty and interfere in the domestic affairs of its member states. Great New France nonetheless sends its warmest congratulations to the French Republic's role in contributing to world peace and stability in an effective way. It is Great New France's wish to strengthen to a new level our relations with the French Republic within the basis of the newly created French Union and thus it would be a good opportunity in that respect to organise future top level meetings between officials of both Parties. Official Communiqué from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Great New France Top Secret Transmission To: French Republic Officials From: Elysée Palace We would like to be assured, our dear friends and brothers, that this does not undermine our influence and yours within the French Union. As such, we would like to ask special guarantees for the French Union and that our cooperation within that union shall be at a higher level than this Transatlantic Treaty Organisation. We need to be wary with whom we ally ourselves and lest be sure that you can always count on your brothers from the other side of the Atlantic in that respect.

Christophe JUVET, President of the Republic of Great New France We can assure our French brethren in North America that this organization is not one to undermine national sovereignty. It is an entity designed to protect liberté, égalité, et fraternité- the founding ideals of our governments. The French Union can take a higher role in dictating our bilateral relationship- though we do invite Great New France to take part in both the TATO and the IPTO, to aid in the security of global freedoms and liberties. I can assure you that our allies in both of these treaties are just, free, and noble nations. If Great New France was to join this list as well, then it would be most pleasing. -François Dulac, Foreign Minister of the French Republic

This decision has broad public support and indeed Parliament backing.

The Foremost Intellectual Badass Posts: 3,893 Group: Map Makers Member #445 Joined: May 27, 2008	The Falkland Confederation would like to join this treaty. It's current members are nations we have interest in gaining trust with, most specificaly the Confederate States of America, which helped us so much during the Dominion Wars. We also wish to point out that some of us share common enemies. For example, the French Republic do not see the Dominion of Celebes in a favorable eye, and nor do we for obvious reasons. We hope to be accepted to this promising group. ---- Chancellor Xavier Vairtas ---- OOC: This is after my civil war.

The Foremost Intellectual Badass Posts: 3,893 Group: Map Makers Member #445 Joined: May 27, 2008	OOC: Since Alberto voted, that adds Wales, Great New France, and the Falkland Confederation to the treaty, if I'm correct. So I should be able to vote on the Iberian States entry. Also, welcome Iberian States! I assume you'll be taking land in Iberia (duh). You'll need to request it the European Map Comments Thread. I'll send you a PM (Personal Message) and tell you what you need to know. IC: We welcome this new nation to our world. Their proximity to our rivals in Europe beg us to protect them from the barbaric Venetian Republic. We vote AYE for their admittance to the treaty.

IC: With the emergence of the new, small republic in Iberia, France has been most pleased. At this time, we will abstain our vote, due to uninformation about your country. However, we do encourage that your country put in an application in the near future, once it is a bit more established.

In regards to the recent inquiry an request from the Iberian-States Federation, we shall abstain from voting. We must agree with our French allies that too little is known of the Iberian-States at this time. However, be that as it may the Confederacy is open to diplomatic relations in hopes to better understanding the Iberians so that a future vote can be made.
