Our Aim
We wish to establish an interstellar trading network, benefiting the economies of all our members. Trade of technology and resources, and mutual defence agreements shall allow us to grow and expand, while maintaining our original intentions: to allow members to prosper in a stable environment.
Section I - Basic Agreements
- Member nations agree to abide by ESUS alliance laws and mandates, on punishment of ejection and trade sanctions.
- All member states agree never to infringe upon the sovereignty of other ESUS alliance members, nor shall the ESUS alliance impose upon the sovereignty of member nations.
- Forced use of member nation space without prior consent of the owner will result in a warning, and if further violations take place, ejection from ESUS.
- Forced use of ESUS member space by non-alliance members will result in a state of war being declared.
- In the occurrence of a conflict between member nation sovereign laws and ESUS alliance laws, negotiations shall be opened within a neutral party's space, and compromises reached.
- All member nations shall enact laws if voted upon and passed by a minimum of 80% majority.
- All member nations may use the stellar space of other member nations for trade and/or peaceful operations, if doing so does not affect local business.
- Use of member space for military use by alliance members, not directed at other alliance members, is permitted so long as action is sanctioned by ESUS vote.
- Use of non-ESUS member space for military purposes is at the discretion of the owner.
- Use of ESUS space for military activities not related to ESUS is at the discretion of the owner.
- Upon military action against a member state by foreign aggressors, all member nations must donate aid in the form of either food, financial aid or military aid.
- There is no set limit for the amount of aid given, but aid must be given or face ejection from ESUS.
- If military action against a member state is considered to be unfair and/or a godmod, the entire ESUS alliance will enact a state of ignore on the said godmodders.
- In line with the ESUS alliance not interfering with individual nation's sovereignty, the alliance constitution does not prohibit declarations of war by any member state, so long as it is not against another member.
- If such a war takes place, then other ESUS members are exempt from Section III, section A. Aid may still be given, but at the discretion of individual members.
- No member of the ESUS alliance may declare war upon another member unless said action has been passed by a majority vote.
- All trade barriers between member worlds shall be eliminated, bringing greater profit and greater quantities of goods.
- ESUS is declared as being economically neutral. This is neither a Communist nor Socialist alliance, no more than a Capitalist alliance. The laws of ESUS trade are to ease relations, as well as benefit the economies of all member nations.
- Trade of technology is encouraged between member nations. This will allow greater seamless integration of troops during times of war.
- Resources are encouraged to be shared. This will in turn promote trade and ease relations.
- Any member may propose a change to the constitution, where it will be voted upon by member states, and if passed, added.
