Allanean Free Trade Agreement (AFTA)
We, The Signatories of this Document, Understanding that Free Trade is important to the success of our Economies, and to the cause of peace and freedom, do enter into the following Agreement of our own Desire and Free Will.
Statement One:
No Signatory nation shall level punitive tariffs or taxes against products imported by another Signatory Nation. This statement shall not include such things as National Sales Taxes except where those taxes are individually leveled against products imported by a Signatory Nation.
Statement Two:
Signatory Nations shall act to Break or Ignore a Trade Blockade enacted against a Signatory Nation by Force if necessary. Signatory Nations shall not act to restrict trade to other Signatory Nations in any way.
Statement Three:
Signatory Nations who do not hold to either of the above two Statements shall be removed as Signatories without Vote. Such a Signatory may not be reinstated without the Approval of all Current Signatories in Good Standing.
Statement Four:
Any goods imported from a signatory nation will be treated exactly the same as goods produced domestically in terms of licensing, taxation, etc. For example, if one requires a $200 tax stamp on every TV made in Nation Y, then the treaty allows Nation Y to require the same $200 on TV's made in Nation X, but no discriminatory charges or licensing procedures are allowed.
Statement Five:
Nothing herein shall be construed as to force nations to allow the import of goods that are illegal to posess domestically.
Statement Six:
This Agreement shall not be subject to change. It is not seen as an Evolving Document rather as a Static Agreement.
Statement Seven:
Any Nation, excepting those covered under Statement Three, may at any time become a Signatory to this Agreement.
Signatories:
