Introduction

The Colony of Denmad in Brazil, consisting of the states of Paraíba and Pernambuco has been declared a "Special Economic Zone" by the Ministry of Commerce. A Special Economic Zone (SEZ) is a geographical region that has economic laws that are more liberal than a country's typical economic laws. It shall be regarded as a Free Trade Zone. All countries, even those without Free Trade Agreements, can partake in this aspect. The cities of João Pessoa in Paraíba and Recife in Pernambuco shall be built up to become a single, cohesive megalopolis.

The Colony of Denmad will be protected solely by the Imperial Layartebian Military and by no other foreign force. The Empire of Layarteb will regard the Colony of Denmad as part of our Empire. As such it has been protected by the Doctrine of Sovereignty (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=460089) underneath Article XV, which is stated below.
