First Compact of Philadelphi (Principia Moderni III Map Game)

This compact governs the usage of the Philadelphi Canal, a canal that connects the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. The canal creates a shortcut to the Indian Ocean and takes roughly 4 days to traverse.

The Canal is expected to be completed and in full operation before 1470.

Basics of Compact
For all countries to use the canal:
 * Alexandria will provide protection of cargo in Aiguptia and Alexandria.
 * Merchants will pay between a 1% and 5% tariff based on the value of the goods being transported, NB: this amount is subject to change
 * All Nations agree to protect the Kingdom of Alexandria from attack. (thus all nations must aid Alexandria if Alexandria is attacked)
 * Use of the canal depends on maintaining good relations with Alexandria and Aiguptia
 * Each individual nation is subject to their own agreement as part of the Compact as well in addition to the basic portion of the compact as said below.

Yemen
In addition to the Basic portion of the Compact of Philadelphi:


 * Yemen cedes the land between OTL Wadi Harim to OTL Wadi Mawza to Alexandria, the border with Yemen will be approximately 10 miles off the coast.
 * Yemen cedes OTL Brimin Isle to Alexandria.
 * These lands will primarily be used to keep the Red Sea safe from Pirating and looting of ships. Yemen and Alexandria will work to keep pirates out of the Red Sea.
 * Yemen have the exclusive rights among Islamic nations to use the canal for trade purposes until fen years after the full opening of the canal (expedited to open in 1470 for limited traffic, and fully open in 1475).
 * Alexandria and Yemen will enjoy constant trade between the two nations.
