WHEREAS Europeia and the Outback have a foundation of friendship and cooperation;

NOW, THEREFORE, Europeia and the Outback agree to the following:

Back to Top

1. Europeia recognizes the legitimate government of the Outback, represented by the World Assembly Delegate of the Outback, and governed according to the Charter of the Outback as the region’s governing document. Europeia will not recognize the legitimacy of any Delegate except Walkabout or his duly appointed successors.

2. The Outback recognises the legitimate government of Europeia, as determined by Europeian law, as representative of the Region and People of Europeia.

3. The Signatories shall maintain in-game and off-site embassies with one another, consistent with facilities provided to other treatied allies, and strive to maintain diplomatic representatives in each other’s regions. If an illegitimate officer of a signatory region, being someone who lacks legal recognition by the signatory government, closes the in-game embassy of the other Signatory, the embassy shall be restored immediately following the restoration of the legitimate government.

4. Neither Signatory may cede control of their region to another entity to the extent that they can no longer meet the obligations of this agreement.

Neither the Outback nor Europeia will engage in military hostilities against the other. Participation by the Outback and Europeia on opposite sides of a military engagement that does not constitute an attack on either region shall not be considered “military hostilities against the other” for this purpose.

To the extent practicable, the Outback and Europeia shall provide the other defensive military assistance in case of an attack by an aggressor against their home regions.

Neither Signatory will engage in espionage against the other. For this purpose, “espionage” is the act of engaging a person to act under false pretenses in a Signatory region without the permission of that region’s legitimate government.

The Signatories each shall provide information to the other if such information is pertinent to the other region’s security or well-being. Both signatories shall endeavor to reveal as much as possible in such situations, but not more than they can under laws, terms of service, or the need to protect sources.

1. Each Signatory will endeavor, where appropriate and possible, to engage in social and cultural activities with the other signatory. This can include, but is not limited to, festivals, competitions, educational endeavors, and media collaboration such as joint articles or audio content.

2. Each Signatory will endeavor, where appropriate and possible, to collaborate with the other in World Assembly programs and activities, such as the discussion or drafting of proposals, educational initiatives, or other similar projects.

3. Each Signatory will endeavor, where appropriate and possible, to collaborate with the other on technological and infrastructure projects with the other signatory. This can include, but is not limited to, advances in recruitment technology and infrastructure pertinent to World Assembly development.

1. This Treaty will come into force on the date of ratification by both Europeia and the Outback as dictated by their respective governing procedures.

2. Either Signatory reserves the right to exit this Treaty. The exiting Signatory must privately notify the other’s respective head of government 72 hours prior to taking public action toward a repeal, providing their reasoning for termination.

3. This Treaty may be amended by mutual agreement of both Signatories so long as proposed amendments are ratified by both Signatories in accordance with their respective laws and norms. Both Signatories shall keep the other informed of an amendment’s ratification status.

4. Upon ratification, this treaty shall be the sole bilateral treaty between the Outback and Europeia, superseding any prior written documents describing a relationship between the regions.
