Treaty of Hyderbad

Due to the crisis in Aryavarta with the secession of many of the conquered territories of the Punjab-Deccan War, with Hyderabad, Orissa, and Andhra seceding, the Confederacy realises it is important to keep things from escalating. It is decided that the new countries should be able to remain independent but neutral.

Situation
Reasons for not going to war-

Karnad Empire- Lost immense amounts of territory in the Punjab Deccan war. Had a coup etat by the Tamils, leading to the Nayak Empire. Rebellion by the Loyalists. The Kerned Empire has been battered by constant wars and conflict in a short period of time and is very unstable. The economy is in ruins due to constant warfare and the destruction of many of the southern Nayak held cities. Desecration of the temples should lead to unrest.

Punjab- Many projects going on. Open war would strain the economy. 500,000 refugees to absorb.

Aryavarta- Would lead to a long and Ignore war. Even victory would be bad as there would be constant insurgencies and revolts.

War would cripple the Karnad Empire and lead it into economic and political turmoil. Would greatly strain the Punjab economy. Be a major nuisance for Aryavarta

Terms

 * Non-aggression pact to those countries for 20 years

Signature
Punjab Confederacy- Red

Talk
Karnad is in no position for a major war. Its infrastructure and army have been crippled by warfare. And you cannot have 300,000 anymore. Because lets say you lost around 10 million of your people. 6 million to Aryavarta in those provinces. 2 million to Punjab. 0.5 million to refugees. And around perhaps 1 million in a civil war. You don't want this.
