ARTO-The Asiana Regional Treaty Organisation

[Greater Corea]

OOC: This is a CLOSED roleplay thread, for member nations of the Region of Asiana ONLY. If you wish to join our active region and participate in regional politics such as this regional roleplay, join here: Asiana


IC: The Emperor had predicted that soon enough the region of Asiana would fall into war and turmoil. During an evening meal an idea came to him, What if there was a proper treaty signed by nations of Asiana as a way of securing the future? He immediately set his scribes to work on it and thus ARTO was born.

ARTO

They are determined to safeguard the freedom, common heritage and civilisation of their peoples, founded on the principles of democracy, individual liberty and the rule of law. They seek to promote stability and well-being in Asiana.

They are resolved to unite their efforts for collective defence and for the preservation of peace and security. They therefore agree to this Asiana Regional Treaty Organisation:
