The Protectorate Treaty with the Florian Republic will officially end in 3 ASC units of time. It has, by the actions of the local government there, been rendered unenforceable for a long time. We have effectively been at war with the Smith government (and now the Cooke caretaker government).
The actions of the Florians have upset all parties to the war, as now all parties to the war regard the Florian Republic as an enemy. The Smith–Cooke government has effectively fought a two-front war, against the USSO and the Shirerithians. It has separately, but with Shirerithian approval, nonetheless negotiated a costly peace with the Natopians (they lost their coast).
Now, the Jingdaoese agents approached Lady Dragonmoor in Zelae where they privately discussed the Florian situation at the war. While at first, they thought the Florian situation might bring peace to the entirety of the world, later rounds of discussions aimed at simply separating the Florians from the war, and ensuring that the Florians never ever again may upset world peace and world stability.
As such, they negotiated a peace treaty. Not with each other, but as one front, with the Florians. So note that if we ratify this peace treaty with the Florians, there will be no peace with Jingdao yet.
The proposed peace treaty sets forth an international commission to decommission and guard the behaviour of the Florian Republic. The Florians will be without all armament, and the international commission's approval is required on all major Florian decisions.
The treaty will also replace our original trade treaty with the Florians (not the protectorate treaty as that lapses anyway).
Treaty of Peace
between the Member States of the Union of States around the Sovereign Oceans and the Florian Republic
and
between the Imperial Republic of Shireroth and the Florian Republic
1. The Parties to the Treaty, including the Florian Republic, agree that the Florian Republic is the cause of the war. The Florian Republic solemnly acknowledges this guilt and promises the world that it shall never in the future cause the world war and instability. Henceforth, a state of peace shall exist between the USSO States and the Florian Republic, on one hand, and between the Imperial Republic of Shireroth and the Florian Republic, on the other hand.
2. The Parties establish an International High Commission in the Florian Republic (“Commission”). It shall consist of two representatives from the Union of the States around the Sovereign Ocean (USSO), two representatives from the Shirerithian, Alexandrian, and Natopian Entente (SANE), and one representative – the High Commissioner – from a neutral party that the USSO and SANE shall agree upon in coordination with the Secretary General of the Micras Treaty Organization.
3. The Commission is tasked with overseeing the Florian Republic’s decommissioning of all its military hardware, software, infrastructure, and weaponry. The Florian Republic shall decommission all its weapons. The Commission’s mandate lasts twenty-four Norton years. The Commission shall adjudicate all disputes (with a 4–5 majority) of interpretations of this treaty, but may cause injunctions with a simple majority for the duration of a trial.
4. The Florian Republic shall not, without securing the consent of 4 members out of the 5, in the Commission, undertake any constitutional changes, ratify international obligations, or engage in heavy industrialization.
5. The Florian Republic acknowledges its obligations under the Treaty of Chuan Ke, Official Trade Agreement between the Florian Republic and the Greater Pallisican Trade Association, and the Peace Agreement between the Florian Republic and the Bovic Empire of the Natopian Nation, and revokes all obligations under any other treaties.
6. The Florian Republic shall repatriate all prisoners of war to their respective homelands.
