The Democratic Order's Declaration of Global Neutrality
The Democratic Order (TDO), by principles originating from the birth of the alliance, declares itself to be universally neutral, and peaceful. TDO will never launch an aggressive war without proper cause. As such, TDO is committed to pursuing non-aggressive relationships towards all nations and alliances throughout CyberNations.
The Democratic Order interprets neutrality as: 1 - non-alignment with any foreign alliance, bloc, sphere, ideology or non-member nation 2 - non-involvement in any and all foreign disputes between alliances, spheres, ideologies or non-member nations
TDO values diplomacy above all and will always attempt diplomatic resolution to incidents involving other nations, aligned or not. TDO reserves the right to decide when such diplomatic avenues have failed.
This public declaration binds TDO to its neutral, peaceful stance and serves as notice to all its member nations that they must avoid any and all deeds that might contravene this agreement and thereby violate TDO's neutrality.
To this end, we commit that any TDO member nation that engages in the initiation of a hostile act against any other nation or alliance will be liable to immediate punishment by TDO. This Declaration places no upper limit on the nature or extent of such punishment, nor shall it in any way limit other formal proceedings being taken against the offending member.
By making public this Declaration and annexed Pact, TDO seeks to gain global support for its neutrality, to prevent aggression being brought upon, or by, TDO members and TDO as a whole. We invite other alliances to Assent to this Declaration and Pact.
