Peace Agreement Between The Yamatai Star Empire and The Free State (Version 1.1) said:
Peace Agreement Between The Yamatai Star Empire and The Free State:
1. Regarding The Treatment of Parties
The citizens, military, and related parties of Yamataian Star Empire (referred to hereafter as "Yamatai" or "YSE") agree to make no attempts to interfere with the operation of The Free State, by means overt or clandestine, military or civil, in the real world or virtual world, and in ways physical, mental, or spiritual. In return, the signatory fleets of The Free State (referred to hereafter as "The Free State", or "Freespacers"), in keeping with their means of self-governance and way of life, agree to promote adherence to the terms applied above to Yamatai.
1a. Yamatai's Recognition of The Right To Self-Determination
Yamatai must recognize and accept that there will be members of The Free State who may chose to disregard this agreement, and that it is their free choice to do so. If such are discovered, Yamatai may alert The Free State so that attempts may be made to reconcile the grievance (if one exists) on a civil scale.
1b. The Free State's Responsibility Regarding Property
The Free State now recognizes that, as The Free State is unique in its views of "personal property" and "privacy" as applied to material objects and information, The Free State must take into account the views of other entities in order to maintain positive relations with said entities (not limited to the YSE). However, The Free State also asks that previously mentioned entities (not limited to the YSE) also acknowledge that The Free State's freedom of data protocols exempt information gathering from being considered a hostile action, insofar as no physical assets are damaged.
1c. Regarding Damage to Property
If damages have been done to property of electronic or physical nature or to reputation on a local or universal scale, then such events are to be reported to The Free State where applicable penalties may be applied.
In the event that the sharing of data indirectly results in damage to property of electronic or physical nature or to reputation on a local or universal scale (limit one degree of separation between sharer and damager, after which the sole burden resulting of the use of any shared data is upon the damager), then the fleet or settlement where the proven datasharer resides shall shoulder the monetary refunding of the independently-estimated value of the damaged property.
1d. Regarding Treatment of Criminals
Signatory fleets agree not to harbour persons declared "enemies of the state" by Yamatai. They are, however, NOT obligated to extradite or punish said offenders, just as Yamatai is not obligated to extradite or punish past offenders charged with war crimes against The Free State. If damage inflicted by a particular party is particularly severe, Yamatai may petition for a council of peers to determine a suitable punishment for the offender, but the Free State is not obligated to do so without sufficient proof of crime (sufficiency determined by The Free State via public vote). The Free State may likewise petition Yamatai for a council of peers for similar offenses.
1.e Regarding Reparations to The Free State
In the spirit of compensating the people of The Free State for acts of war perpetrated on multiple fronts, including (but not limited to) Halna, The Great Lighthouse, and Freehold Factory, and in the interest of recovering the immeasurably significant losses incurred by The Free State at those locations, the Yamatai Star Empire agrees that reparation should match the loss for the YSE. Therefore, as physical materials are of no significant value to the YSE, the reparations shall be made by the provision of useful, accurate, and complete information regarding the construction, function, and usage of the following to The Free State:
i. "Soul Transfer" devices and associated cloning technology
ii. Zanarium
iii. Xiulurium
vi. Yamataium
v. Aether energy generators and related power transfer systems
2. Regarding Spatial Boundaries and Claimed Worlds
The Yamatai Star Empire will recognize and respect the sovereignty of The Free State within all Free State boundaries in reference to Free State-controlled planetary bodies, established mining regions, and mothership locations. These boundaries are defined as being a one (1) light-year (9.461x10^12 km, 63.24x10^3 AU, 0.3066 pc, or 31.04x10^15 Imperial Feet) sphere around previously-mentioned objects. The Free State shall do the same for all YSE-claimed worlds, mining regions, and ships.
2a. Rules and Exemptions
No vessel carrying superweapon-class devices may enter within 1 LY of any settlement owned by the other party. Any vessel lacking significant armament (not classified as a dedicated warship; including but not limited to trade vessels, shuttles, etc) may approach these areas without consent, but must leave within one hour if requested by the resident AI or Foreman (and, for Yamatai, the ruling body of the approached world or vessel in question). Warships are exempt from this restriction if explicitly requested by either a commissioned representative of the controlling party or by one of the aforementioned not of the same party as the vessel in question.
3. Regarding the Neo Mishhuvurthyar Xhrafuklurp (NMX)
Both parties agree that the NMX and its allies constitute a hostile entity and that the signing parties will not collaborate with the NMX. Both parties also recognize that there may be individuals within both parties which may act in opposition to this agreement, and that those individuals shall be held to the terms outlined in Section 1 and its subsections.
4. Regarding Hospitality and The Rights Of The Host.
Both parties agree that each has the right to grant or refuse access to ships seeking resupply as deemed necessary by the controlling party of the planetary body, mining settlement, or station (terrestrial, orbital, or space borne) of which resupply is being requested. To this end, the hosting location is not beholden by this agreement to provide services or supplies, nor is a visiting vessel or party beholden by this agreement to accept services or supplies if offered by a hosting location.
4a. Good Faith Depots
As a show of good faith, however, both sides will provide one (1) such resupply depot for the free use of the other for resupply and shore leave activity at the following locations:
4b.i Good Faith Depot Locations
From Yamatai, for the use of The Free State: To be determined at the signing of this agreement.
From The Free State, for the use of Yamatai: To be determined at the signing of this agreement.
4.b.ii. Recognition of Local Jurisdiction
Visitors who leave the premises of the good faith depots will come under the jurisdiction of the controlling party of the location where the depot is located and agree to abide by the local rules and regulations. In the event of persistent failure to comply with local laws after a warning has been issued, guilty parties may be asked to leave the premises or otherwise be detained for up to 72 hours pending a transport to be picked up by their home nation.
5. Regarding Duration of Preceding Peace Agreement Between The Yamatai Star Empire and The Free State
This treaty shall remain in effect for 18 months from the date it is agreed to by both parties and is renewable at that time. In such case that either party wishes to prematurely nullify the above terms, they agree to provide the other party with a thirty (30) day (defined as a period of twenty-four (24) hours) notice, during which month the Agreement will remain in effect until the month has concluded.
5a. Upon Nullification of The Agreement
Both parties agree that the Good Faith Depot locations will revert to the control of the original controlling party, but all donated resources (both physical and intellectual) shall remain the property of the receiving party and cannot be recovered by the donating party (a “Donation” being defined in this case as a clear assignment of usage of materials, physical or intellectual, from one party to another for an infinite period of time without compensation by the receiving party). All other disputes revert to the jurisdiction of the local authorities or local controlling party.
6. Regarding Severability and Arising Errors
Any errors (factual or linguistic), in any section of this Agreement will not nullify the remaining sections. If a section is held to be non-enforceable, then the remainder of the Agreement will remain in force. If a dispute of the language arises, a third party will be agreed on and asked to arbitrate a resolution. If the Agreement, as a whole, is called into question, then either a new document shall be drafted and agreed to, thereby replacing the old Agreement, or both parties will agree to nullify the current document according to Section 5a. In all other cases, refer to Section 5.
7. Regarding Responsibility of Signees
By claiming to be a representative of one of the parties defined in this Agreement, you accept all responsibility attributed to the station of representative. Your signature signifies acceptance of the above terms by the government and people you represent. Will you accept the above terms?
[Yes] [No]
ARE YOU SURE?
[Yes] [No]
