Section II

Eridu shall have economic authority within its own borders, as well as the power to engage in economic relation with states not currently engaged economically with the Free State under the following conditional subsections:

If either signatory party is claimed to be in violation of this treaty, the other may sue for a redress of any violations under the Supreme Judiciary.

This treaty can be amended or modified at any time by the mutual agreement of the Free State of Renasia and the Special Autonomous Region of Eridu.

If reaffirmation does not occur within twelve months, it may be instated by a vote of the Guntanu'tl at any time provided that:
