The following is the full text of the treaty that established Monovia as a Special Autonomous Region (SAR) of the Free State of Renasia.

Introduction:

This treaty, signed by the Heads of the States of both Monovia and of Renasia, establishes Monovia as a Special Autonomous Region, which shall be defined for the purposes of this treaty as an area having its own devolved legislo-executive body and system, whilst still being under the sovereignty of the Renasian Constitution and Government.

Article I:

The autonomy of Monovia shall be virtually unrestricted, save for by the following provisions set forth and agreed upon by the under signed: 1. Monovia must not violate the Constitution of the Free State, either by internal action, legislative or otherwise, or foreign affairs.
2. Monovia shall not have the right or power to declare a state of war between itself and another state
3. In issues of Constitutionality, both parties must submit to the rulings of the Renasian High Court, who shall be considered the supreme authority on the Constitution and its interpretation.

Article 2:

Renasia shall provide the citizens and state of Monovia with the following services as a Special Autonomous Region:
1. All Monovian citizens will be granted Renasian citizenship, with all it entails. They may stand for offices, vote electorally and legislatively, apply for grants, have access to documents and may represent Renasia at international events should they so please.
2. Monovia itself will, from September 2012, be entitled to submit budget proposals to be considered and approved by the Treasury. The upper limit for the first year's budget is to be ₤250. This may then be revised each year as necessary.

  • (a) To make sure budgets are properly spent, quarterly reports on spending, with relevant proof (receipts, photos of acquired objects, demonstrations) provided, must be submitted to the Treasury for monitoring. Should misappropriation of funds be discovered, funds to the equivalent value will be removed from next quarters payment.
  • (b) Budget money shall be assigned in quarterly amounts, as outlined by budget submissions.

3. Monovia shall be allowed a devolved political system of any Constitutional set up it wishes to legislate within it's boundary.

Article 3:

Being a protectorate of Austenasia, Monovia's foreign affairs are under Austenasian control. Thus it shall be the case that before decisions are made, Renasia must be consulted on the Constitutionality of the decision. If the decision is not within the Constitutions considerations, it cannot be enacted.

Article 4:

Monovia shall be a Renasian SAR for a minimum duration of 4 months. At this point, they will have the option of leaving, or signing and dating this treaty again to sign for another 6 months, and so on ad infinitum. Leaving during one of these agreements without official agreement is a violation.

Article 5:

If Monovia violate this treaty before September 2012, Renasia shall be within their rights to halve the Monovian budget, or terminate the treaty.
If Renasia infringe the treaty before September 2012, Monovia shall be within their rights to demand half their initial budget be added again for the coming year, and may choose the cut the treaty without surrendering the 2012/2013 budget.
If Monovia violate the treaty after September 2012, Renasia will be allowed to reclaim funds proportional to the time remaining for the 2012/2013 year and terminate the treaty.
If Renasia violate the treaty after September 2012, Monovia may terminate this treaty and retain all funding provided to the Monovian State for that fiscal year.

Article 6:

By signing below, Monovia agree to abide by the terms of this treaty understanding it shall place them under Renasian sovereignty. Austenasia agree to comply with Renasian officials in enforcing Renasian Constitutionality upon Monovian foreign affairs, and Renasia agree to abide by their responsibilities under this treaty.
