All I'm getting from this thread is that NPO doesn't understand the difference between a treaty and being allied.
trea·ty
ˈtrēdē/
noun
a formally concluded and ratified agreement between countries.
al·li·ance
əˈlīəns/
noun
a union or association formed for mutual benefit, especially between countries or organizations. We have a TREATY with npo, which we did not break or dishonor in anyway due to our NAPs and alliances with t$ and bk. Y We have an ALLIANCE with BK and t$, via our bloc with bk and former protectorate status/formal alliance with t$. You wanted us to declare war on bk in defense of you, when we are formally allied in literally the closest way possible with bk. And thats ignoring the fact that our NAP made us literally unable to declare war on them. A declaration of war is an inherently aggressive act, whether its in defense of another or not. It would be us attacking them. If you had communicated properly and asked us to help in some way that didnt break our NAP, such as resources or money, we might have been able to work with that, but you didn't and instead got immediately salty we didn't completely forsake all our longterm political ties for you guys, who have only been on orbis for 6 months and we have never even fought a major war with. A treaty is basically a business agreement between nations and/or alliances. It does not make us allies. In fact, by promoting diplomatic relations with LITERALLY EVERYBODY on the other side of the fence from us with treaties, you made yourself an enemy. If you had wanted to become an ally, you could have communicated more, worked with us and asked to join the obsidian order. Or even asked for an NAP or some other form of more concrete declaration that we were allied. But you didn't, and now we're here.
And thats not even mentioning that you're all dirty commie scum.
