Preamble
In this modern age of warfare, we have become witness to the destructive power of satellite weaponry. Tiny orbiting spacecraft, taking position in earth's lower atmosphere, drop the so-called "Rods from God" down upon the military and civilian populations of the world.
In the event of a war, satellite-holding nations could practically hold enemy nations hostage from the refuge of space. At any point in time they could drop a rod the size of a telephone pole upon their enemies, creating an explosion riveling that of a nuclear weapon, minus the radioactive fallout.
It is the opinion of the Principality that there are some nations in this world who take this technology too far. When other nations go to war, they send soldiers, ships, and aircraft to fight, while the satellite-baring nations are content to move into position and drop GodRods. There is no sacrifice, nothing lost in the quest for victory. It is becoming too prevalent, and it is time that something was done about it.
Therefore, the Principality of Wilhelmsborough hereby establishes on this day, the Spacewatcher's Alliance. This organisation will be dedicated to monitoring the skies overhead, and tracking the movement of weapon satellites, especially those of nations that overuse them in times of conflict.
Terms and conditions of membership
1.) Member-nations must possess the means by which to monitor activity in the upper atmosphere.
2.) Member-nations must regularly track the movement of satellite weapons.
3.) Member-nations must freely provide intelligence information to the other members of the Spacewatcher's Alliance, especially during times of war.
4.) The Alliance does not restict membership on the basis of government-type, economy, race, ethnicity, or religion. We do however, deny membership to countries that have exhibited economic corruption, slavery and related abuses of its citizenry, imperialist ambitions, warmongering, and general untrustworthiness. And any nation that has a history of satellite weaponry overuse will most definately be denied entry.
5.) Members of the Spacewatcher's Alliance must promise not to go to war against fellow member nations.
6.) Requests by non-member nations for information on the movement of weapon satellites will be allowed, but only on a case-by-case basis. The Alliance reserves the right to withhold any information it deems a risk.
7.) When there are a significant number of members, a governing body of senior nations will be set up. This Governing Body will set the rules, the regulations, and standards of the alliance.
Conclusion
We gladly implore the nations of the world to consider joining the Spacewatcher's Alliance. With our combined efforts, we can make this world a little safer, by keeping the countries with satellite weapons in check.
