CABINET ORDER 8 | Originally published by @HumanSanity on 3 December 2021
Summary | The Cabinet defines the scope of TSP’s treaty obligations in the context of the forthcoming “Frontier/Stronghold” NationStates game update.
The Cabinet of the South Pacific,
Aware of the pending changes to the NationStates metaverse colloquially known as “Frontiers/Stronghold”,
Noting that this change introduces a type of region known as a “Frontier” which has a non-executive founder and receives a portion of spawning nations,
Fully aware of the intentional high-risk nature of Frontier regions that will make military conflict in them inevitable,
Expecting that many regions will set up satellite Frontier regions for the purposes of recruitment,
Realizing that extant diplomatic agreements that include non-aggression or mutual defense often do not apply to satellite regions,
Mindful of our principled belief as defenders that regions are sovereign by default,
hereby:
-
Declares that unless otherwise negotiated, the South Pacific will extend any non-aggression or defense obligations toward a region to all its duly declared satellite regions,
-
Reaffirms the commitment of defending vulnerable regions from attack by default.
