The Centerflying Treaty

In December 2005, Grand Duke Orion negotiated the Centerflying Treaty with Shireroth which guarantees Lac Glaceian sovereignty while maintaining ties of loyalty to Shireroth which benefit both nations.

The Centerflying Treaty

• WHEREAS the Imperial Republic of Shireroth claims Lac Glacei through Article Nine of the Southsailing Treaty, through direct grant in the Tymarian era, and through the right of years of continuous occupation,

• BUT WHEREAS [Orion] has a competing claim, a strong cultural tie to the land, a committment to develop it further, and the diplomatic and political skill to resolve its many difficulties,

• AND WHEREAS both parties are willing to act in concord for the protection and betterment of Lac Glacei,

• THEREFORE, the Kaiser of Shireroth and [Orion] agree to the following:

• FIRST, that Lac Glacei will become a sovereign Grand Duchy under Grand Duke [Orion].

• SECOND, that the Grand Duchy of Lac Glacei will become a protectorate of Shireroth, under the following terms:

- That it acknowledge the Kaiser as a ceremonial head of state. - That it share the foreign policy of Shireroth - That it share the currency and economy of Shireroth, and present no barrier to the free flow of Shirerithian goods - That it does not cede its sovereignty to or become vassal of any third party - That it not be subject to the laws of the Landsraad of Shireroth. -That it not be subject to any Kaiserial decrees save those which expressly mention it. - That it have a separate immigration policy from Shireroth, that citizens of one not be citizens of the other unless they specifically join both nations, and that the Tri-Citizenship policy of Shireroth not apply to it. - That Shireroth is obligated to defend it if attacked - That the Grand Duke and the Kaiser periodically meet and discuss common issues and common goals at their convenience

• THIRD, that any perceived violation in this treaty will be arbitrated by UAI, or, if UAI is unavailable, a similar company or mutually agreed upon neutral party, and that their words will be binding.

• FOURTH, that this treaty supersedes all previous treaties concerning Lac Glacei, and that the Imperial Republic of Shireroth and [Orion] both consider the status of Lac Glacei settled.
