5. Article
I:
Establishment
of
a
Hardo-­‐Britannian
defence
authority
The
governments
of
the
Grand
Imperial
Dukedom
of
Hardenburgh
and
the
Imperial
Federation
of
Britannia
hereby
agree
,that
to
maintain
their
security
and
to
safeguard
their
sovereignty,
a
joint
Hardenburghian-­‐Britannian
defensive
authority
should
be
established.
This
organization
will
be
dealt
with
and
established
in
a
separate
agreement
between
the
two
governments.
It’s
aim
will
be
to
safeguard
Hardenburghian
and
Britannian
interests
globally
,
as
well
as
,
if
necessary
safeguard
the
sovereignty
of
both
nations.
The
doctrine
of
this
Organisation
should
not
effect
Hardenburgh’s

political
neutrality
,
however
,
with
the
Provisions
set
forth
in
the

doctrine
,
if
Reformed
Britannia
is
ever
attacked
by
hostile
forces
,
not
allied
the
Grand
Imperial
Duchy
of
Hardenburgh
,
then
,
the
Hardenburghian
will
have
every
right
to
revoke
it’
policy
of

and
enter

conflict
on
the
Britannian
side.
If
however
,
the
hostile
forces
are
allied
with
the
Grand
Imperial
Dukedom
of
Hardenburgh
,
it
will
be
the
policy
of
the
Hardenburghian
government
,
as
established
in
the
Vanderbaum
doctrine
to
attempt
to
negotiate
a
ceasefire.
If
this
cannot
be
obtained
,
the
hostile
forces
can
expect
a
Hardenburghian
entrance
on
the
Britannian
side.
If
either
signatory
to
this
treaty
is
to
unleash
a
preemptive
war
of
aggression
on
another
nation
,
then
it
will
be
entirely
the
choice
of
the
retrospective
government
whether
or
not
to
enter
the
hostilities.
The
refusal
of
a
government
to
participate
in
a
war
will
not
void
this
contract.

of
Hardenburghian-­‐Britannian
Trading
Routes.
The
Hardenburghian
and
Britannian
governments
hereby
agree
that
it

survival

and
Britannian
governments
will
agree

with
their
navies
of
these
trade
routes.

should
agree
to
,
in
times
of
peace
commit
at
least
20%
of
their
fleet
to
performing
this
role.

times

,
this
number
should
increase

of
surface
units
for
the
Hardenburghian

of
international
tensions
,

in
the
advent
of
