Treaty of Sugan

The **Treaty of Sugan** was a peace treaty, signed on 11 November 394 G.E. in the city of Sugan, that formally ended the Fourth Shingō-Sabun War, fought between the Union of Sabun and the Imperial Republic of Shingō, assisted by semi-autonomous Olkawan tribal militias.

The settlement provided for the end of hostilities between both sides and permitted the Imperial Republic of Shingō to station troops within Sabunese territory indefinitely. The Shingōan Parliament was additionally granted the authority to review, edit, and nullify any and all laws passed by the Sabunese legislature. Sabun was also required to disband its armed forces and was only permitted to maintain a small, local police force. Effectively, the treaty marked the transformation of Sabun into a protectorate state of the Imperial Republic of Shingō.
