Mutual Protection Treaty with Legoland!

[astrologix]

Very good treaty

I suggest that our diplomats work on the best way to get the World Map of Lego (under Togas leadership). This information would be very useful to organize the best defense plans.

[History Guy]

I'd agree there, Senor Astrologix, as always.

If any violation of the territorial integrity of the territory of either party, as defined in Article I, is being conducted, both parties will declare war on the atacking nation, if the attacked party requests this.

Article VIII
Settlement of any war

Since both parties will declare war at the exact same time on any invading party, both parties will commit themselves to end the war at the same time. No separate peace treaties shall be made.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is not aproved yet we will wait to see if you make any changes then will vote on it. The changed stuff is bolded.

I propose that we ask if Legoland want s to increase the duration of the treaty and that we request that the treaty activates at a new turn and not 84 which has passed by already.

[Togas]

Article VI needs to be rewritten. Suggestions? Instead of just having it lapse, we need to be clear that if a party does not follow through with the treaty, there will be consequences.

Let's kill Article VII. I don't want to add confusion about what can and can't be altered. We can, in fact, alter anything if both parties agree.

--Togas

[BigFree]

This is a great thing. A MPP with a Civ that is not on our Continent. I have been trying to find out where Legoland is, alas it is escaping me?!

This may be the first trans-oceanic Treaty in existance!

[Togas]

OK, we've sat on this long enough. Let's chat with Legoland TODAY and get this thing finalized. The last key element to be negotiated is a WM or TM trade. The other changes I proposed are cosmetic and won't be an issue. Start date will be the year we sign it.

Catch me in chat if you have questions.

--Togas

[Aidun]

The final proposal for the treaty has been sent to Nimitz, yesterday at about 23:30 GMT.

[History Guy]

Aye, well, it looks good to me. Let's get the thing signed as soon as possible, preferably before the next turn, so that if those Arabs try anything, they in trouble, eh, what?

[Aidun]

Nice draft Togas, I'll send it to him.

[LzPrst]

Brilliant work

[mrmitchell]

Great job...

However, I think we should keep this TOP SECRET. If GoW+ND knew that we thought they were going to attack us, they'd go bonkers and both our plans could be royally screwed.

[Arnelos]

I really like it. Legoland will go for the whole "we won't want people landing on Legos Major" I hope.

Let's try it and see what they say.

[History Guy]

Let's hope they respond immediately. Pray, my friends, for a favorable wind to carry Lord Cian over the oceans.
