Renali Union and Friendship Treaty

*Republic of the Neck - Republic of Argen - Principality of Sannel Union and Friendship Treaty 6755RC of Porl Oussan,* often shortened to simply the 'Renali Union and Frienship Treaty' or just 'The Union Treaty' was a treaty signed in 6755RC over a period of 2 years of deliberation, establishing the modern Republic of Renali.

Sannel and the Neck suffered a humiliating defeat to the Tiapian Empire in the The Copper War (6763RC). The two states feared annexation into the Empire, and
therefore entered negotiations with the Empire. The Empire agreed to permit their independance, yet demanded severe reperations that all but
financially ruined the two states.

Argen, seeing that Sannel and the Neck were economically ruined
offered an agreement, hoping to gain from the two weakend state's
economies. The treaty would offer extremely favourable terms to Argen,
yet would also establish a common "Renali Caoli" currency and offer
interest free loans to aid the redevelopment of the two bankrupt powers.
 Sannel and the Neck had no realistic option than to agree to this, and
as such the Sannel - Republic of the Neck - Argen Economic Aid Agreement (Renali Economic Aid Agreement, REAA) was signed in 6770RC.

In 6773RC, due to the fact their economies were now intertwined, talks were held as to cementing the REAA as something political. Over the period of several months an treaty was established to set into motion to act of uniting the three powers. It was agreed, and a two year
 grace period was granted to negotiate terms and specifics. In 6775RC, the 'Republic of the Neck - Republic of Argen - Principality of Sannel Union and Friendship Treaty' was signed, formally establishing a country which had been in the making for 5 years.

*Here assembled on Sentala, Sensunna, 6775RC* (4th Kora, 24th Sirca, 6775th Aula)*, are the representatives of The Grand Republic of Argen, The Esteemed Principality of Sannel and the Republic of the Neck. These three assembled states henceforth agree to a Union in matters of Defence, Coorporation in matters of Foreign Diplomacy, and Economic Unity. These three states henceforth agree to the formation of a new sovereign state, for which shall be named the "Groen se'Renal", "Grun Renale" or "'Renali Di Canca" in the three recognised languages of this Union.*

*The three assembled states (henceforth refered to as "the states") agree to permit the existance of a Federal Council, composed of three councillors from each of the States, composing nine in total. These councillors are at the mercy and will of the states, and may be retracted and replaced at any moment for any purpose of the government of the said state. For a period of 4 years, one of the states shall hold Office as Presiding Member of the Union. The three councillors of this state will elect from amongst themselves OR any citizen of the Union that they deem fit a President of the Council, who shall have certain powers that will be stated. This President may be from any walk of life, any status of income, any gender, and age and any fortitude of morals. They must only be elected unanimously by the three councillors of the state that holds Office. Once these 4 years of Office are over, the President of the Council will have their powers revoked, and unless they are a sitting councillor will be removed from any position of power at the federal level of this Union. Another state will then hold office for 4 years, electing a President in the same fashion as previously described - The initial office holder shall be Argen, followed by The Neck, followed by Sannel. This cycle shall repeat every 12 years. It may never be broken.*

*As previously described, the Preisdent of the Council holds several powers, which shall be specifically layed out in the asset 'Rules of Government of the Republic of Renali'.*

*The Federal Council too hold several powers which as a sovereign unit they may use, these are also found in the above titled asset.*

*This Union is eternal, and is impressed into the very fabric of the three states - any attempts to withdraw from this Union are henceforth considered illegitemate and illegal to the highest degree and must be prevented at all costs by the Union. In addition, the Union is open to the joining of additional states, at the discretion and unanimous voting of all three of the assembled states (or four if already accepting of new members, for example). The terms of their Union with the Union are at the liberty of the assembled states.*

*If at any moment the states wish to ammend this treaty, confirm new powers upon any instrument of the Republican Union, remove powers, or change the very fabric of this treaty, unanimous consent must be achieved by all of the states - as represented by a unanimous agreement of every councillor assembled. Any extra-legal power exhibited without prior agreement of all the councillors is considered illegal, and may be ignored by the local government and state government at their liberty.*

*By the Grace of the Assembled Parties, the Harmony of these Three States, and the Peace for which this Treaty Stands, the three Representative of the States Assembled here do declare;*

*I, as representative of the State from which I represent, and embracing the power, institutions, and legacy that form the fabric of my state, vow to uphold this Treaty, and swear my state to the new Union Republic and the mission for which it stands. May the Gods bless the three States, and may the Gods bless the Union Republic!*
