The Keep Those Bloody Foreigners Out Of Haven Pact

Welcome to the official home page of the KTBFOOHP, or KFO for short. We are a loose coalition of like-minded states based in and around the region of Haven. The KFO, founded by the Catalasian Commonwealth in the year 2007, serves as a mutual-defence pact for the entire region, with forces made up of all participating nations; the purpose of the KFO Haven Defence Forces (HDF) is to drive out the blight of foreign aggression and imperialism wheresoever it might strike upon our fair soil.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the requirements for membership?
The only requirement for membership is residence in the region of Haven and the confirmation of fellow members. All nations currently within this geographic region are invited to join.

Will the KFO pursue an imperialist or nativist foreign policy?
No. As a mutual-defence pact, the KFO has no interest in foreign nations unless they choose to bring aggression to Havenic shores. In addition, member nations are not required or even recommended to expel those of foreign birth residing within their borders.

Will the KFO interfere with any foreign trade or peaceful relations with non-Haven nations, held by either member states or non-member Haven states?
No. Non-aggressive or peaceful relations with foreign nations should be encouraged, inasmuch as foreign nations are capable of engaging in such relations.

Does membership in the KFO include trade with member nations?
While the KFO charter includes no stipulation for trade with member nations, it certainly doesn't hurt. In the Catalasian Commonwealth tariffs are reduced by 10% for KFO members; other nations can choose to follow a similar policy if they so desire, or they can not, it's up to them.

Will membership in the KFO interfere with my national sovereignty?
As already stated, the KFO is only a mutual-defence pact and collection of like-minded nations, and will have no effect on anything else nations choose to undertake. The only other recommendation made of member-states is to contribute military forces to the HDF, which will sponsor forces to patrol and ensure the security of Haven generally, and especially KFO member-states.

If you have any further questions about the KFO, do not hesitate to ask them.

The Imperial Democracy, amused by the descriptive name of the Pact, officially apply for membership in the KTBFOOHP, which is an equally unwieldy acronym.

The nation of No Endorse would like to join so worthy a cause as the protection of Haven from foreign aggression. Any and all foreign aggression into such a magnificent land as Haven is unthinkably horrid (with a few minor exceptions, emphasis on the minor) and all that can be done to prevent such eventualities is a definite plus.

His Majesty's government would be happy as part of the Clandonian rebirth to join the KFO pact. Such an as amusing name for a mutual defence pact which the Clandonian government is happy to sign. You have the United Kingdoms assurance that our armed forces will defend our regional allies if such an invasion attempt occurs.
