South African Treaty Organization

•Please note that this is not an offensive alliance of any sort and the signing of this document in no way obligates you to engage in an offensive war or a war provoked by the members herein.

SATO is designed to stimulate trade which in turn will stimulate the economy as well as the relationship between the nations involved. As you already know the region that is South Africa is rich in resources mainly in the industry of mining. If regulated correctly these industries could make the South African region even more successful than it is now, and further the development of the economy making South Africa one of the richest regions in the world. Attached are the “guidelines” if you will for the Organization. If you could, take a moment of your time to read over them over and respond accordingly.

1) You are in no way obligated to provide aid to a nation who has engaged itself into war or has provoked a war upon themselves.

2) All ports within the region of South Africa are open to nations within the Organization for trade/and or military re-supply /maintenance.

3) A more advance free trade agreement is formed between nations within the Organization which would drop or lower tariffs against import/export.

4) Border Defense is “slightly” demobilized if a border is shared between two nations within the Organization.

5) All nations will strictly enforce freedom of seas within their South African territorial waters allowing for vessels to travel freely and safely along the coast. Each nation is responsible for those vessels within its waters save sabotage, acts of nature, etc.

6) Any military vessels, either within the Organization or not, must be checked by each nation via a command set up within a nation in order to pass freely.

7) Nations in the Organization will allow their military to train with every nation within and create a multi-national peacekeeping force (small in stature) to provide relief or stability in the event a country needs the forces mentioned previously.

8) A peace treaty is signed in which all countries involved vow never to raise arms against the other regardless of previous alliances.

9) In the event that a nation within is attacked in which the nation in question has done nothing to neither invoke nor deserve such an attack and thereby threatens your own nation, it is practical that aid be mobilized in the defense of the nation mentioned previously.

The following letter has been sent to the following nations:
United States of Brink
Bjornoya
Hirgizstan

This is a preliminary draft however is there is no debate on a decree than this will become finalized. If you have any questions are comments please contact President Ovambo ASAP. Thank you for your time and hopefully this treaty will promote peace and prosperity.

I was thinking about creating something like this, but a lot of complications arise when throwing in nations that are part of other alliances, the most important being military related. The points I would agree to would be:

1)
2) We'd need a clear definition of what South Africa entails.
3)
5)
6)


Points I could not agree with:

4) Bjornoyan Africa has one of the most elaborate and highly guarded borders in the world due to our 'cleansing.' However the border has always and will always be geared to preventing illegal immigration and as a result is horribly suited for either stopping an invasion or becoming one (supply trucks instead of tanks, tear gas and nets instead of guns, observational helicopters instead of any 'real' airborne units, and of course the stupidity of trying to stop an enemy right at the border drastically decrease their military suitability in favor of their role as domestic peacekeepers)

7) I like the idea, but might need to be worked out if other stages don't come together. If it doesn't work Visara trains and hires out mercenaries for defensive purposes cheap to nations it views favorably.

8) I know I have an obligation to the Roman Confederacy to declare war on any aggressor nation that attacks a member of the RC, and I know Hirgy has a similar obligation to TOA.

9) The last time I agreed to something like that it was used against me be Pushka (If you activate your alliance I'll go to war against Bjornoya) which was annoying as fuck. At this point I already have this as an unwritten contract with both of you. Considering all we've been through and the help given to me during the Tyrandis crisis you can be sure I will do all I can to prevent wars in the region (already done my part in averting a few), and will definitelly send military assistance if you are unjustly attacked.
I still hold the best way to avoid a war is to make it unprofitable economically to do so, which is what would happen if the free-trade oriented ideas were ratified.

I was hoping something like this would come up.

However, I agree with some of the conerns Bjorn has listed. Namely, what is South Africa? Perhaps the 'SA' in 'SATO' should be changed. Something like 'Southern And Central Africa Trade Organization' (SACATO maybe?). Myself and Bjorn have more claims in central Africa, and less in the south, so perhaps that name would better suit.

Also, I can't demobilize my borders. They are geared towards defense and against illegal immigration. Standard border defences include 3 concrete walls with Tungsten gates at various places, usually open and act as border crossings if the country which shares the border is freindly and its citizens are permitted into the COH. (These countries include everyone considered for SATO). The walls are usually set up behind a mile (in width) of mines and defenses. This is a standard defense, its nothing personal really.

A Peacekeeping force would be an excellent idea though, possibly with some Humanitarian role aswell.

Apart from these minor problems I think this idea could really work, especially to strengthen the southern and central regions of Africa which are controlled exclusively by us, apart from 2 Northern Congo regions owned by Teh Ninjas. I will, henceforth, see if I can persuade him to sell them to me.

That was a much better response than I thought, I knew you two both had prior involvements and due to recent conflicts might not enjoy the sight of another treaty.

Some suggestions on your suggestions:

I definitely was looking more at the lands that surrounded me, not even realizing that you two owned a whole hell of a lot more land more northern, therefore I would imagine South Africa now becomes Most of Africa lol. I guess I have two suggestions than: TATO (Tri-African Treaty Organization or ATO (African Treaty Organization)

Yes Bjorn, your “cleansing”. Yes I thought that’d be the response though. It would only have been borders in which “we” share them. Never mind than that isn’t nearly the main point of the treaty so moving on.

The Peacekeepers would be more humanitarian than mercenary but nonetheless would be outfitted with some of each country’s finest both in the way of soldiers and technology.

The never to raise arms is strictly between us not a member of the other’s alliance. If this still constitutes a problem it too can be revised somehow.

Yes and that is going to be an issue with any treaty. Like I said this cannot be used as an offensive alliance. If however another country in the organization is in trouble and needs help than we could respond rapidly if thought prudent to do so.

I think Tri-African Treaty Organization is pretty good. We control most of Africa between us, believe it or not- not much happens on the continent without us saying something. Thus this treaty will provide a very formidable alliance, especially trade wise, as the regions we control are probably the most profitable- in oil, raw materials, precious materials, fishing, tourism, agriculture and manufacturing. The proposed treaty would ensure a tripling of our own capabilities and lead to Africa becoming perhaps the wealthiest continent under our guidance.

The alliance clauses are ok for me. As you both know, TOA members are pretty independent of each other, so I have no quibbles about joining the pact on that issue.

As for the peacekeepers I suggest they be organised from inside each of our militaries, but should not be consisted of active units, rather new ones that serve the Treaty's peacekeeping mission, and that alone. That will give us a dedicated and professional force for good in Africa. And to ensure PR I think the force should be avaliable to any who request it in Africa- naturally we'd have the final say, by vote presumably, about what action to take if such a request was to arise, but it would certainly be useful in many ways. I think the force should be capable of Land, Sea and Air operations so as to provide a capability in all scenarios.

Hmm, do you think any of it needs to be secret? Who would challenge it? Its not offensive or anything.

I think we should include NG in this treaty tho, I mean he does control the country known as South Africa.

Bjornoya
06-04-2006, 01:00
Not sure what all I need to do, but I had a thought about the South African Peacekeepers: Each nation could contribute to a specific sector of the created units be it supplying weapons, genreral training or specific training, educational etc.

"8) A peace treaty is signed in which all countries involved vow never to raise arms against the other regardless of previous alliances."

So long as TOA and the RC are cool with this one, and those others revised I'm in.

Perhaps this only goes for Africa and if war does break out you two can pound pointlessly away at eachother on a diff cont?

^ Doubt thatll do but just a suggestion.
Hirgizstan
07-04-2006, 13:26
Indeed, but very doubtful.

I think with this treaty we should also make inroads into Oil Pricing. Considering us three control a lot of the worlds oil, both in Africa and Russia, we should be able to set prices for oil. This would also apply to raw materials and fine materials, as well as agriculture.

United States of Brink
07-04-2006, 23:08
Alright, either today or tomorrow ill write up the revised edition. Hirg, could you add a few clauses or an additional document that deals with oil pricing, etc? And Bjorn could you work out a plan for the peace keeping forces (draw up numbers, bases, equipment) As always keep it fair and or balanced.

A good military onlys works with a single leader, so i dont mind what general from either country takes SH just as long as everyone gets a feel for his/her character. The other two countries will be 1st subordinates?

Ready... Break

This would allow each nation to help without being directly involved in the conflict.

TATO Trading Prices and Practices

TATO is composed of three Africa nations that produce millions ot ton's of valubale raw and fine materials, as well as millions of barrels of oil every day. It has come to TATO's attention that oil prices, especially from Africa, are ill-defined. African oil reserves are some of the biggest in the world and TATO intends to exploit them to give the world a fairer oil price and a much earned place in the world for African oil.

Due also to the vast amounts of raw material on the African continent, TATO will also aim to produce a fair trading deal on these materials, as Africa has the potential to be a world leader in this area if world trade is willing to acknowledge this.

Oil Pricing/Practices:

Crude Per Barrell: $45 (USD)

This $45 will be a sustained price for oil and TATO will try and keep this price no matter what happens elsewhere. However, if nations become hostile to a TATO member then it is possible that, for the nation (s) in question oil prices will rise, but will remain the same for the rest of the world. In this way, TATO hopes to eliminate the constant oil price fluctuations that occurr daily, sometimes to the detriment of the market itself.

Raw/Fine Materails Pricing/Practices:

Gold Per Ounce: $450 (USD)
Silver Per Ounce: $250 (USD)
Bronze Per Ounce: $150 (USD)
Platinum Per Ounce: $525 (USD)

Diamond Per Carats: 1 Carat- $48 Per Ounce
2 Carat- $70 Per Ounce
3 Carat- $110 Per Ounce
4 Carat- $250 Per Ounce
Ruby Per Ounce: $23 Per Ounce
Sapphire Per Ounce: $33 Per Ounce
Emerald Per Ounce: $35 Per Ounce

Coal Per Ton: $40 (USD)
Steel Per Ton: $500 (USD)
Copper Per Ton: $5,500 (USD)
Zinc Per Ounce: $1.25 (USD)

Natural Gas may also be avaliable at a later date. These prices will be kept as steady as possible but they are subject to change due to circumstances, but it is the mission of TATO to provide these prices to promote better African trade.
The same practices for selling Oil apply here (see above).

Length: 21.64 Meters
Wingspan: 16.76 Meters
Height: 4.57 Meters

Max speed at sea level: Mach 2.5
Max range: 4,100 Km
Service ceiling: 20,500 m
Max rate-of-climb at sea level: 18,000 m/s

Misc:
It comes fitted with the latest in Jamming Technology and a revolutionary system dubbed DimLight. This device turns the afterburner glow near translucent making it near invisible to the naked eye. Heat generated is redistributed via tiny micro chips scattered about the frame which transmit at 1/100’s of a second dramatically reducing its heat signature. Finally it implores RAM technology. Combined this makes the Night Angel one of the stealthiest planes during night combat. Its payload, as light as it may be, carries the latest in air to air missiles capable at deploying at any speed. Its small airframe and forward swept wings allow for unhindered maneuverability and max g force turns. Adding to its stealth and also the reason for it being so light is the usage of carbon.

Cost: 105 Million Dollars Per Unit


Please Note the Aircraft employs plasma stealth technology.

I still control the diamond trade in South Africa. No changing the prices on those without my permission.

About the oil, I think I control most of E2's oil. If you're involved with the Eurasian Line, you're getting oil for real cheap. If not, you're paying standard prices.

I support this thing totally, Africa needs an economic boost, especially since I've got my hand in the diamond trade there. Maybe I should be involved in this because of that?
Hirgizstan
16-04-2006, 14:09
That might be a sound idea actually, I'd be in favour of you joining, as the alliance is about trade, not geography.

How much is Eurasian Line Oil per Barrel?

And can you post your diamond stats, we'll adopt those probably, since you control a large amount of the trade in that area.

Aye, you do control most of the fields. I have the Oil Fields in the North Sea and in the Gulf of Mexico. Conversly I control a huge portion of the Natural Gas produced due to the huge influx provided in the Gulf. While we are on the topic of economic revitalization in Africa, The Republic is interested in becoming a silent partner on this deal. We only have a small portion of land in Africa, but we are willing to provide a hefty amount of funds for economic development in the region. It is high time Africa began to emerge as a world player in trade.

PeaceKeepers

Finally this last attachment deals with the peacekeeping force. The TATO Peacekeeping Force is a multi-national coalition consisting of Hirg, Bjorn, and USB soldiers and equipment. These soldiers represent the apex of humility, morality, and skill of their respected nations and the organization as a whole. They employ the latest in military innovation and technology. Along with being an elite military outfit they also are highly trained in Civil Affairs and humanitarian aid.

More Information will be released at a later date.
