The Allied Independent Mediterranican Nations Pact

AIMN Pact Membership

Membership Criteria
Membership Criteria are the rules that define whether a country is eligible to join the AIMN Pact. The criteria require that each member state has the ability to remain allied towards member states, that the member state must have either a state of neutrality or a state of war between Mediterranican Union, a functioning market economy and that the member state accepts all obligations, laws and articles of the AIMN Pact.

Geographic Criteria
Unlike the first presentation of the Allied Independant Mediterranican Nations Pact and the Mediterranican Union, to be eligable to join you do not have to reside in the Mediterranican Region. However, member states must take part in Mediterranican Politics, even if they do not reside in the Mediterranican Region. To cover this, any member states outside of Mediterranica but apart of the AIMN Pact must have a stake of land near the Mediterranica or sufficient embassies within the region.

Host Nation
Each member nation will host the AIMN Pact Annual Charter on a circular rotation. The Host Nation will handle new articles and voting, host meetings and represent the AIMN Pact during their term as Host Nation.

AIMN Pact Member States Sovereignty Policies

Member States Co-Existence
All member states must co-exist in a peaceful and politically allied state. Aggression, xenophobia or any action that threatens co-existence between member states will be punished according to the decisions of those member states that have not committed the said actions.

Member States Safety
The safety of other member nations sovereign territory, peoples and possessions should be considered by other member states to be of as high importance as their own sovereign territory, peoples and possessions. In order to ensure the safety of each and every member state, no member state will act in any way that will pose an environmental or health threat to any other member state's sovereign territory, peoples and possessions.

Member States Sovereignty
All member states will remain the keepers of their own sovereignty. All member states must respect other Member States Sovereignty. The AIMN Pact is not a unified nation, all member states must represent themselves but the collective region and the AIMN Pact is to be represented by the current Host Nation.

Member States Travel Codes
Military personel of member states are given access to travel through another member states land with permission granted from the nation whose land it is upon. However, the military personel using the Travel Codes of this Document may not exceed a maximum number of 3,000 combatant personel at a time unless given permission before hand.

AIMN Pact Economic Policy

Open Trade
All member states must be committed to open trade, trade of goods without taxes, tariffs or other trade barriers like quotas on imports. Trade in services without taxes or other trade barriers. Free movement of goods, service and capital as well as the abolition of trusts and cartels. Member states have the right to restrict movement of labour

AIMN Pact National Policies

Immigration Policy
Foreign immigrants that come into the geographic area of the AIMN Pact are subjects of the member state that they are situated upon.

Flag of the AIMN Pact
The AIMN flag is not an official flag of any member state, it represents the AIMN Pact and nothing more.

Aid
Should a member face revolution, drought, depression, or any situation needing aid, fellow member states must give aid, monetary or military, no matter how large or small. In the event that the situation has resulted in widespread devastation of the effected nation causing shortages of liveable housing, Pact members are expected to take on as many refugees as they can support for the duration of the crisis. They will also be required to participate in all efforts to repair the damages and if necessary provide refugees transport from and back to their homeland. No nation is required to allow any refugees to remain within their nation once the crisis has ended.

AIMN Pact Security Policy

Mutual Defence Agreement
Should a member be invaded, all member states shall be prepared to provide any form of intervention that the military engaged member asks of them. In the case of a member state already militarily engaged, it may ask the Pact to be pardoned from committing aid.

All nuclear capable states are to defend non-nuclear capable states in the event of a threat from weapons of mass destruction.

In case of possible attack on member state territory with weapons of mass destruction, all member states strategic defences will act against the threat together.

WMD Declaration Act
In the interests of determining which member states can provide weapons of mass destruction capabilities to non-weapons of mass destruction capable states and to ascertain the danger posed to the Pact and the Mediterranican region should revolution, invasion or terrorism threaten to overturn a member nations weapons of mass destruction into non-allied hands, all WMD capable states must announce the size and type of their arsenal to the Pact.

This information will not be revealed to any other party or used for any purposes other than those stated in this article.

Cooperative Anti-crime and Terrorism
All member states fully and actively cooperate in the fight against crime, especially terrorism. All member states agree to actively pursue capturing persons on their territories that are being wanted in other member states for criminal activities. If member states arrest such a person then the criminal should be transferred back to the state where the crimes were committed.

AIMN Pact Force Initiative

Expeditionary Forces of the Mediterranican Coalition
As the on going Mediterranican War rages, a combined, however only temporary, Pact Military will be formed. Forces deployed together will be required to fight together to ensure the best possible results, acting under the direction of the Pact. The forces will plan together and elect an overall commander from amongst the present nations commanders.

Captured Territory
All territory taken by the forces under command of the Mediterranican Coalition is to utilised for the purposes of ending the on going war in the region or to be divided up amongst the member states who contributed forces to the action.

To:James Oglethorpe, AIMN Pact at large
From: The Allied States of New Kereptica
Concerning: Application for entry

The Allied States of New Kereptica would like to inquire about the possibility for entry into this pact. We have read the charter of this organization, and found that it is more then agreeable to the currant foreign policy of the Allied States, as well as promoting the capitalist and democratic ideals that New Kereptica holds strong. In addition to this, the Pact is currently comprised of nations that the Allied States already has strong relations with, through the Ocean Defense Coalition. We would be more than grateful is we could be admitted into the IAMN Pact, and we will do everything to further it's existance should we be accepted.

Licentia Mihi Unus


To: His Excellency James Oglethorpe
From: His Most Gracious Imperial Majesty Wyatt von Waldenburg IV


Allow me first to say it is a most gratifying sight to see the Grestonian nation stand once again, but this in turn begs a further three questions. Of course the events of the past have done a great deal to shape the policies and directions of Grestonian policy in the present and indeed future years; and though I cannot attest for the validity or populist corollary from such actions and it is with a pensive and tenebrous sense of apprehension I shall give you this one augur, this one warning.

Winds will always change, the tide will always ebb, the lights will always be dimmed and in time even the most firmly held beliefs fall away and be replaced by a set of new convictions. For in the moment your conviction burns so very brightly one must question when the night has passed what will it all mean?

The first of three questions must naturally be addressed the reasoning behind such purpose, and the intent behind such actions. When at least you put down your sword and look in your wake will you question the virtuous upholding of a merited revenge or will you brace your lips and look to the stars and weep, for there are peoples and planets you shall never conquer? In this we will learn more of you than in thousands of years of war, we shall learn on the onset of your evolution, what you will become and what has been of you. And when at last you do turn behind and see the barren wastes and the avenging dead, and those amongst the living who have turned in on themselves to form such a shell of impervious malignity. That moment will decide who you are, and if that moment will vindicate liberty then bath in it and reach your hand out once more.

This of course is our second question, the heart it behind us, and the hand is upon us. Far removed from Easen, from your very pride of surroundings and conjured glory is another nation, a nation apart so far removed and detached from the world of liberty we must, as citizens of a world question under which context of rationale you operate? No matter how loudly the puppet cries, or in which fashion he moves his hands and how fast he dances there is no question in his nature.

It is of this nation apart of which I wish to add an addendum, and most certainly not for my benefit, for I sit impervious and removed from the world, held forever in the defensive embrace of the desert and touched only by the winds. One can understand winds. They shift, if slightly, if with gusto and a whipping outcry, or if it is but a whisper it all shifts and brings a new time and climate. All that seems peaceful will, in a moment, become a torrent, and all those who seemed friendly, shall in time grow insidious with their tolerance and great friendship and bonds will be torn asunder before a twinkling of an eye.

So be wary of this hand, for while it may shake and offers, it can only be a manner of time before the hand comes to recognize that the greatest force may be applied upon those closest. When you turn behind you to the great chasm of wicked despair, and when you look forward to vastness of the world, you shall find that where you stand in on a position entirely guaranteed by the magnanimous whims of the aforementioned removed nation. And while Greston may tote liberty as her banner, in other things there are no illusions, and the very thread of her banner is dyed with the blood of those butchered in its name.

Far removed from these little trivialities, and high above the dualistic images of contemptuous and feeble moralities I find it more and more reliable to rely on certain traits in dealing with others. We must, on occasion, ascend from right and wrong and the more verbose images of causality to arrive at the purest form of action and reaction, and more importantly my final question.

What will you do when you fail in your objectives? A people must either be destroyed in their entirety or left alone, for if a middle ground is taken there is left to fester a great wound, one which time will not heal, but adds only yet more grievance to a waking injury and allows only time for the intended revenge. We have seen yours, perhaps. And mine will be a wicked one for I am not a kind man.

If you manage conquer my people, what will be done to them? Will They will be killed in great scores, both in their soul and in their body? And I must ask you what you believe over the course of due time our response will be? Blood for blood perhaps? An eye for an eye, and the knife so reticently gripped plunged into a waiting back? No it will not be so.. I, however, am a crueler man; I stand with two thousand years of darkness, fear, hunger, and suffering behind me, I stand with two thousand years of piety and death and with the lingering aroma of our own terrors, and I will not be so kind. When, and if we continue on this path it is not a matter of probability but rather of effort, the time comes for your reprisals I shall turn you free. I will turn my cheek to you, and leave you for your allies, Gothic masters, and those who have been wronged so little ago.

And I will leave you with one last thought, the Grestonian people and her allies who would so quickly discard the warnings of nature and those once held in regard.

It is of a beast a common sparrow. It is a wives tale but I find suiting. This sparrow one day, either by chance or design, flies through the open window of house from an autumn day into a warm repose. For just a moment as it flies it is enlightened; there has never been so much color, there has never been so much light, or so many intoxicating smells, never has there been so many things.

Then, as God intended there comes the moment of choice, as all of creation is to be given; the sparrow must choose on his wind to either land and for the moment be engrossed with these unknown delicacies or must continue on his path. The window is shut for the winter after this flight, and though the sparrow attempts to return he finds his way barred and all the fineries denied to him.

He though still flies. On the turn of the wind and with the sky stretched from heaven to earth he flies forever, always thinking about this wonderful room, but always denied it.

The sparrow that lands is beset by such a display of gaiety that he sees no need to return to the sky; there is no reason for the cold, for the dark and dangerous world and in due time the sparrow ceases to remember what the world was at all, forgets its wings and longs for nothing. In time it forgets it is a sparrow.

In my heart, perhaps alone, there has been a fire lit, one which, by the grace of God will never, never be extinguished. I pray in time you make the choice, under the liberty, which we all so desire.

His Most Gracious Imperial Majesty Wyatt von Waldenburg IV
