Pacific Alliance Agreement
To unite the Pacific economically and militarily.
IN THE PACIFIC COUNTRIES
January 1st, 2022
Secretary Mandela and Dep. wrote the following agreement;
An Agreement
To unite the Pacific against common threats. The pacific area is full of economic powerhouses, and it’s time to unite them together as a powerful block on the world stage. China in particular shows frighteningly little respect for international borders, and it’s time we took a stronger stance on the issues that hit home.
Be it enacted by the Leadership and Legislators of the Pacific Countries
SEC. 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Agreement may be cited as the “Pacific Alliance Agreement (PAA)”
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
The U.S. Department of State finds that—
# China has encroached upon the South China Sea
# But other countries don’t have the means to step up and protect themselves
# And the pacific countries threatened need help from their neighbors.
SEC. 4. Military
# IN GENERAL.— The number one pressing concern is Chinese military development. This Alliance will make sure the Chinese navy is limited and unable to trespass upon any territory not allocated to them. This includes both international territory and national territories.
# REQUIREMENTS.— In carrying out the program under subsection (a) the countries shall—
## Declare war on any country that attacks or declares war on any member
## Construct military bases and warehouses throughout the member countries as peacekeepers and defenders of Pacific Democracy.
## Create a war council made up of military and foreign policy experts from all countries to use funds and develop systems of defense.
## Be willing to work with the UN, NATO, or any other international organization to protect human rights and democracy, if enough members wish too.
## Work with other members leadership
# FUNDING.— The Secretary shall be appropriated a reasonable amount for the economy of each country per year to carry |out the provisions of this section.
SEC. 5. Economy
# IN GENERAL.— Another major concern that will likely be more immediately impactful is Chinese economic influence. In order to combat the widespread Chinese manipulation through money, the following provisions aim to give PA members significant powers. More than 60% of China’s economy goes through the South China Sea, so this section will give the PA |members lots of bargaining power in the future.
# REQUIREMENTS.— In carrying out the program under subsection (a) the countries shall—
## Be prepared to impose sanctions as a united block
## Be prepared to block off ports and shipping access as a means of protecting self interests.
## Create an economic council made up of economic and foreign policy experts from all countries to take the least harmful course of action for members while getting whatever results are desired.
## Be willing to work with the UN, NATO, or any other international organization to protect human rights and democracy, if enough members wish too.
## Work with other members leadership
# FUNDING.— The Secretary shall be appropriated a reasonable amount for the economy of each country per year to carry |out the provisions of this section.
SEC. 6. Leadership
# IN GENERAL.— In order to remain united this Alliance needs a specific leadership structure. This section aims to provide that by giving all members an equal voice. Even though the US has gone through the most effort to make this Agreement, it does not ask for a special voice. All members will be represented equally.
# REQUIREMENTS.— In carrying out the program under subsection (a) the countries shall—
## Send an ambassador to a city all members agree upon as the capital of the Alliance.
## This ambassador will be separate from the Economic Council and the Military Council.
## The ambassador is meant to represent the interests of the leadership of their country and should have no other biases or conflicts of interests besides that
## Decisions that the PA takes as a block must be ratified by a majority of members
## Even if countries disagree with the decision, and a majority is reached, they must follow through
## The ambassadors should choose a Chair amongst themselves to run meetings and open the floor for agenda brought up by |the other ambassadors
## The Chair’s voice is not to be held in higher regard than their peers’
## Any major decisions (going to war as a block, extreme sanctions, complete block of all goods) must be confirmed by every member, not just a majority.
SEC. 5. ENACTMENT.
