between the
Empire of Austenasia and the Commonwealth of New Virginia

The Empire of Austenasia and the Commonwealth of New Virginia, in honour of the historical and cultural bond their peoples share and seeking to preserve peace in the community of small nations, champion policies of universal rights, defend their sovereignty and rights, and cooperate diplomatically and economically, do hereby enact this Treaty of Alliance.

Article 2
Each signatory nation shall publicly respect the official policies of the other, and shall each work for the greater good of the micronational community regardless of the views of the nations within it.

Article 3

The withdrawing signatory nation shall meet with representatives of the other signatory nation to discuss grievances and attempt to negotiate an agreement to salvage the treaty at least once during this period.

Article 6
The signatory nations will resolve any disputes between them by peaceful, diplomatic means. Any military involvement would automatically rend this null and void.
