Ratified on July 5, 2013. (See this link.)

On November 8, 2016, the Magisterium voted to end the state of war with Gatesville. (See this link.)

[spoiler=“text of original declaration”][quote=“Declaration of War on Gatesville”]

Whereas the Delegate of The East Pacific has stated: "It came to the attention of The East Pacific today that Osiris’s current delegate, The Dourian Embassy, after pitching a fit due to losing the elections there, defected and handed his nation to Nevadar of Gatesville. Inevitably, Nevadar decided to stage a coup of Osiris and name it a protectorate of Gatesville. Gatesville has since held its position through the suppression of the region’s current government as well as of many of its local contributors on the Regional Message Board. The World Factbook Entry and the region’s flag have been completely hijacked by the usurper delegate and serve the interests of this foreign foe.

The East Pacific will not condone this activity and will do whatever is within its power to oust these usurpers. Osiris, while it is a relatively new GCR, had established as a community a generally locally-run government that has acted in the interests of its native nations and which has been interregionally accepted as long-term and legitimate. Lest the original be infiltrated, usurped, and corrupted beyond repair, we will accept no other Osiris regime. Gatesville is among the most persistent and reprehensible groups of people who attempt to meddle with the affairs of the Game-Created Regions and their methods, which revolve around “cosmopolitan” activity and hiding behind pseudonyms while they act in their own selfish interests in foreign regions, spewing meaningless but invigorating (to the dim-witted) propaganda about opposing the World Assembly and supporting national and regional sovereignty while their actions blatantly tell otherwise, corrupting formerly committed government officials and turning them on their regions before throwing them away later, and betraying the hospitality of benevolent governments as well as backstabbing many of their own members, are completely unforgivable.

I as delegate of TEP have sent a declaration of war to the Magisterium for ratification. The East Pacific sees no reason to negotiate with such people as Gatesville and will make no attempts to do so. The East Pacific will engage in any efforts to forcibly remove them from Osiris as well as from any regions they inhabit in the future, should our legislature agree to war, and will unite its allies against them as well. We see no need to continue tolerating an entity that has become the embodiment of selfishness, dishonesty, and disloyalty in NS."

Therefore be it resolved, the Magisterium of The East Pacific ratifies this declaration of war.[/quote]

[spoiler=“text of UDL Treaty”][quote][center]An Act of Friendship and Mutual Respect for Sovereignty between The East Pacific and The United Defenders League[/center]

[b]Preamble[/b]

The East Pacific was once occupied for an extensive period of time in one of the darkest eras of its history under the regime of "The Empire". Thus, The East Pacific sympathizes with and supports the need of a region for security and sovereignty, and with The United Defenders League's noble cause of securing these freedoms abroad across NationStates.

The East Pacific is regarded by The United Defenders League as a reasonable, mature and stable region. It is that stability and reasonableness that makes them the most preferable of friends. When "Condemn The United Defenders League" was proposed, The East Pacific opposed and provided a reasonable argument against the resolution. Reciprocating The East Pacific's calm, rational good nature is the least that The United Defenders League can do to show its gratitude -- it seeks friendship with The East Pacific.

This draft has been written to try to address the problems that left neither party able to fulfill the terms met by the original "An Act of Friendship, Development and Mutual Respect for Sovereignty between The East Pacific and The United Defenders League".

[b]Section 1. General Provisions[/b]
  1. [li] A friendship is established between The United Defenders League and The East Pacific, which will be filled in accordance with this treaty.
    [/li]
    [li]The provisions, as stipulated in this section, apply to all subsequent sections of this treaty.
    [/li]
    [li]Under all circumstances: The East Pacific retains all decision-making power over the EPSA and The United Defenders League retains all decision-making power over The United Defenders League.
    [/li]
    [li]Either party can dissolve this treaty by means of a written notification which is in accordance with the local decision-making rules of each party.
    [/li]
  2. Both signatories agree to act in good faith with one another and with the spirit of this document’s law; that is, not attempt to manipulate, undermine, or otherwise force change upon the other signatory for the other’s interests.

Section 2. Military and Intelligence

  1. [li]The United Defenders League promises to provide military aid to defend the security of The East Pacific.
    [/li]
    [li]While The United Defenders League must respect The East Pacific’s sovereign decision to invade a region if they find it necessary, The East Pacific must likewise, respect The United Defenders League’s decision to defend a region (even against The East Pacific) if they find it necessary. In effect, both parties will professionally let bygones be bygones, although discussion between both parties is encouraged.
    [/li]
    [li]Military cooperation is highly encouraged between the EPSA and The UDL.
    [/li]
    [li]Both signing parties shall, in good faith, disclose uncovered information with one another in the interest of their own counter-intelligence.
    [/li]
  2. The EPSA will provide a Military Liaison to The United Defenders League to exchange mutual communication regarding new military operations (e.g., the liberation of a roleplayer region) – all officers (i.e., Lieutenants and the Chief of the Band) in The United Defenders League will serve as the Military Liaisons for The United Defenders League to the EPSA.

Section 3. Limitations

  1. This treaty can never be understood or used as grounds for compulsory military assistance or cooperation in any military or intelligence operations.
