Paris Naval Treaty

Notice: This Treaty is no longer in effect.
== The Paris Naval Treaty ==
The Paris Naval Treaty is a controversial treaty created by Dabomb_303 in early 2022 to put limitations on naval ships in order to prevent a naval arms race from destroying the international economy. Things such as gun caliber, tonnage, and number of a particular ship were implemented.
=== Creation ===
It was created by Dabomb_303 (The former Grand Admiral of Liberon), Tenksman, Macrobot, and Jackie Benedict in early 2022 as a restriction on navy warships and starships in the form of forbidding orbital strikes on Earth. It was inspired by the real life Washington and London Naval Treaty, which stopped an arms race and thus a recession.
=== Historical Impact ===
The mostly unpopular Paris Naval Treaty did lead to a war, the LittleWolfGamer-Dabomb_303 war, but people still ignored it, including Vindicator defense, who spoke against the naval treaty. Soon after it was abolished, a naval arms race immediately began. Vindicator Defense built 15 inch rifle armed battlecruisers, while Liberon came forth with a naval fortress armed with 1016mm main cannons. Generally, the international naval ground no longer had rules, money was being poured into bigger and bigger ships, and the general economic stabability was thrown out of balance.
Several players today possess three mile long warships with main guns of calibers up to 4030mm, and tonnage exceeding that of some starships. These militaries that operate superships generally have slaves and forced labor in order to fuel their economy, something the Paris Naval Treaty would have been able to prevent. Outspoken figures against the treaty generally wanted to have larger capital ships for themselves at the cost of their citizens and the world economy.
