Article 1.

The signatory nations recognize each other’s existence and legitimacy. They recognize each other’s constitutions and the executive, legislative and judicial powers deriving therefrom.

In the event of a coup d’état or change of governance not provided for in the constitution of the concerned Nation, the other signatory will have the right not to recognize the new governance and this treaty will be suspended or even revoked.

Article 2.

The official and recognized language for exchanges between the two Nations is French. No document written in any other language relating to this treaty or to exchanges will be recognized or considered as applicable.

Any joint communication must be agreed between the two signatory Nations before publication. Failing such bilateral agreement, the communications concerned must be immediately withdrawn by the issuing administration. Joint communications may be published in French and English to await the international audience.

In the event of disagreement or dispute, the two signatory Nations will observe a duty of reserve in all public communications. The principles of respect and benevolence must be observed, and the two signatory Nations undertake not to resort to verbal violence. Private communication between the two signatory Nations will be enforced and kept strictly private by both parties throughout all exchanges, and may not be made public at any time.

Article 3.

The geographical location of the signatory Nations requires recognition of French law for the Principality of Aigues-Mortes and Canadian law for the Principality of Sancratosia.

The two signatories undertake not to tolerate any aggression on the part of a third Nation against a signatory. However, each party retains the right to maintain total neutrality and a duty of reserve if national interests so require.

Article 6.

The suspension of the present treaty may only be considered in the event of flagrant and deliberate non-compliance by one of the parties which jeopardizes the security of the interests or honour of its signatory.

– rebellion or coup d’état; 

– change of constitution or governance by illegal means;

– dissolution of a signatory Nation;

– absorption or merger of a signatory Nation with another.
