Treaty Of Mutual Defense And Security (TOMDAS)

== Purpose ==
A defense organization where, if a 2/3 majority (6/9) of signatories agree, all members will come to the aid of another member in a defensive war. Additionally, if ALL members agree to it, TOMDAS can come to the aid of another country not in the alliance in a defensive war or an armed conflict.

== Formation ==
Formed in the wake of The War of Italonian Containment in 1944, most belligerents in the victorious side agreed to the creation of an organization that would maintain an alliance should another war break out. Georgeland despite not fighting in The War of Italonian Containment joined in 1944, offering it's large and long coastline for resupply of fleets should another war break out, in exchange for their membership. In 1957 Morrowind and Watsonia sent in a joint application. Despite having very little in common and being far apart, in the mutual benefit of the prospect of them becoming members and recognizing the better chance they would have, they decided to apply together, the desire to do so was the rising tensions in their respective regions. In 1972, after gaining a written threat by the President of Northern Antelar, The Republic of Nova Terra applied for TOMDAS, in return offering their vast coastline for supplying fleets and trade vessels on the opposite side of the Far Eastern Sea. In 1986 The Ahmedian Commonwealth officially joined, after a long and mutually beneficial relationship with many of it's members, notably Czachoslovakia and Fritzerland. Their strategic positioning was an easy sell, considered the bridge between Aphria and Ossia.
== Operations ==
Their has only been 2 times in history where TOMDAS has agreed to join and support in conflict. The first time was in 1983 not long after the outbreak of The Italonian-Czachoslovakian war, when all members unanimously agreed to declare war on Italonia and send troops to support Czachoslovakia. This lead to the capitulation of Italonia in 1984 and the Treaty of Mascow, which ordered the joint occupation of the City of Ricadio for a full year. In this year, some minor skirmishes broke out between TOMDAS occupational forces and some angry locals wishing to reunite with Italonia, and one occurence with a Loyalist Italonian Regiment that crossed the border, but this was repelled. The city was returned a year later after The Republic of Italonia was far more likely to win the civil war that resulted from the war.
In 1996, the Nation of Lokistan enveloped into a Civil War between the Presidential Dictatorship and the rebel movement FFAFL (Fighters For A Free Lokistan). The concern for a disrupted oil supply on an international scale had all members of TOMDAS worried, and after asking the Lokistani government if they would accept help and intervention, started an 8 year struggle against insurgents. The FFAFL was largely a pro-democracy force, however their reliance on religious scripture as a rallying cry for the people concerned many abroad, and the Lokistani government was able to portray them as fundamentalists to the international community. TOMDAS members sent troops to protect population centers at first, before eventually becoming the primary fighters of the war, with the underequipped and demoralized Lokistani Army taking a backseat in the conflict. With the discovery of mass graves, and evidence pointing to Lokistani Army units being responsible, TOMDAS withdrew their forces on February 28th, 2004.
