Tripartite Pact (Principia Moderni III Map Game)

The Tripartite Pact also known as the Baghdad Pact is a political and military alliance between the free states of the lands of Asia which are the Empire of India, the Hashemite Caliphate and Empire of Japan. It was created in response to the disintegration and collapse of the Tatar Empire and the need for an organization to oppose Communism and Imperialism, and is specifically designed to oppose foreign aggression against any nations of the Pact.

The treaty creates the Triple Alliance who all agree that in order to preserve Asian integrity and sovereignty and that they will unite in the threat of any nation that looks to upset the balance of power in Asia, or conquered by the involved powers.

Terms
The Governments of the Indian Empire, Hashemite Caliphate, and Japanese Empire consider it as the condition precedent of any lasting peace that all nations in the world be given each its own proper place, have decided to stand by and co-operate with one another in their efforts in Greater Asia wherein it is their prime purpose to establish and maintain a new order of things, calculated to promote the mutual prosperity and welfare of the peoples concerned. It is, furthermore, the desire of the three Governments to extend co-operation to nations in other spheres of the world that are inclined to direct their efforts along lines similar to their own for the purpose of realizing their ultimate object, world peace. Accordingly, the Governments of the   Indian Empire, Hashemite Caliphate, and Japanese Empire  have agreed as follows

Article 1: Military and Conflicts
The Founding members of the Indian Empire, Hashemite Caliphate and Japanese Empire, will all agree that the dominance of the Tripartite Pact in Asian politics must always remain and shall wage war upon those that threaten:


 * 1) The balance of power in Asia.
 * 2) The balance of power in areas of colonial settlement or conquest.
 * 3) In issues which can collapse or destroy signing members of the Tripartite Pact.
 * 4) A major threat to one of the signing powers of the Tripartite Pact.

Article 2: Trade and Commerce
Trade policy within the alliance will remain within the jurisdiction of the nations, however a free trade agreement shall be exercised by merchants from the respective member states of the Pact. As such, tariffs, quotas and restrictions upon member states shall be discouraged and trade taxes would not be allowed to be imposed upon merchants from the respective member states. However, at times, the trade integrity of each nation shall be respected and if infringed upon may constitute a cause for monetary payment as a punishment.

Trade between the main Asian states will not be discouraged and existing trade agreement will be respected and carried over into the treaty.

Trade power in areas may shift in colonial areas which may call for war. This is not outlawed by the treaty and nations may wage wars to reclaim lost trade power in a certain area, i.e., ones influence replaces another in an area such as the Indian Ocean or the Arabian Sea.

Article 3: Inter Alliance Issues and Diplomacy
All signing members will agree that any issues of colonial borders, areas of hegemony/conquest, or specifically claimed areas will be handled on all diplomatic channels, or will seek diplomatic mediation for an unbiased power within the treaty, in order to prevent conflict between signing nations of the Treaty.

If all else fails War between the two nations in a one versus one fashion to handle the situation regarding the war. The Victor may officially claim the contested territory in terms of an moderate or overwhelming victory. Usage to the full extent of your empire is not forbidden.

Along with this the signing powers agree that the complete seizure of a nation's primary or large colonies will be denoted as unacceptable and if broken, the offending nation can be threatened with expulsion from the protections of the treaty, or an invasion that restores control of the major colony to control of its mother country. Minor or Moderate portions of colonies can be ceded depending on their importance to the affected nations colonial empire.

A nation being increasingly reckless, or in total disregard for the treaty and threatening its own collapse or contributing to the major collapse of another signing nation may be expelled from the treaty's protections and benefits leaving them open to attack from outside powers.

If a nation has multiple colonial disputes with other treaty members, said members may go to war at the same time with the offending power to assert their claims. However, negotiations must always be the initial option.
