Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance
Preamble
The Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance, also officially known as the Serovskya Pact (SP) and refered as such in all official alliance documents, exists for the intention of ensuring the collective security and prosperity between the socialist nations that are the pact's members. In turn, the members of the Serovskya Pact declare their unshakeable support for Socialist ideals, proletarian internationalism and for implacable struggle against bourgeois ideology and all anti-socialist forces.

Military Alliances that you are a member of(if any):
- If a nation that wishes to join the Serovskya Pact is already a member of any other military alliances, they are required to inform the Commonwealth of their membership in those alliances in their application. They are then expected to keep the alliance informed of all military alliances they are members of in addition to the Commonwealth to avoid a conflict of interests batween the pact and member nations due to ties to alliances that are considerd unfriendly or untrustworthy.
Article two: Basic Alliance Structure
- The Serovskya Pact shall be headed by the Serovskya Pact Executive Council. As a matter of fairness, each member shall get only one representative on the Council. Each council's representative will be there to allow each nation to voice their opinions and encourage discussion between the member nations. The Executive Council will be lead by the President of the Serovskya Pact Executive Council, a position which will be held by the leading nation of the Serovskya Pact. This position will also hold the ability to veto proposals. However, ownership of this position means that the leading nation does not have a regular representative like the other members of the pact.
- While the Serovskya Pact Executive Council will be the main legeslative body of the Serovskya Pact, it will also itself be led by the the Serovskya Pact Council of Commissioners. Each of these Commissioners will manage one of the Commissions that handle the day-to-day affairs of the alliance. These will be selected from applicants from member nations by the acting President of the Serovskya Pact Executive Council. The acting President of the Serovskya Pact Executive Council will also act as the head and chairman/woman of the Council of Commissioners. The Council as a whole will serve as the executive body of the Serovskya Pact, handling all matters related to the portfolios of the Commissioners and the day to day matters of the alliance. The Council members, apart from the President, are subject to the power of both the member state or the Executive Council to instantly recall a Commissioner if it it thought they are not doing their job or are abusing their position.
These Commissions are:-
The Commission for Internal Pact Affairs
The Commission for External Pact Affairs
The Commission for Alliance Defence
The Commission of Economic Affairs
The Commission for Technological and Infrastructural Development
Article three: Military Structure and Rules
- The members of the Serovskya Pact will defend any member of the Pact if they come under attack. This extends from attacks by non member nations to rogue members. However, if the rest of the alliance decides that the nation being attacked has either done something that conflicts with the principles of the alliance or has other reasons that can be justified properly to the Executive Council, the alliance can decide not to act in defence of the member being attacked.
- As mentioned, if a member attacks another member, the other members of the alliance are expected to come to the attacked members defence. The atacking nation will lso be thrown out of the Serovskya Pact. A possible exception to this is if the attacking nation had good reasoning behind its actions. If that is the case, then the Serovskya Pact Executive Council will vote on whether to expell the attacking nation or the attacked nation from the Serovskya Pact. They will also discuss alternative actions that the Pact could undertake.
- The Serovskya Pact is an alliance dedicted to support of socialism, and such only accepts socialist nations as members. The defence of socialism, like that in the member states, is therefore a pillar of what the Serovskya Pact stands for. To protect socialism from counter-revolutionary and anti-socialist forces, member nations will allow the Soviet Union, with other Serovskya Pact members in support if needed, to intervene in any manner deemed nessesary by the Soviet government if socialism or the socialist government is under threat from the threats mentioned in this section.
- It is a likely possibility that the Serovskya Pact will need to take military actions other than basic defensive actions of the territory of member nations. Therefore, the Serovskya Pact Executive Council will be given the ability to pass declarations of war, provided that a vote is held on the declaration and it passes with a large majority.
- As the military forces of the Serovskya Pact will need to be capable of reacting in a coordinated and unified manner to military threats. Therefore, a Unified Command of Serovskya Pact Armed Forces will be established for the command of Serovskya Pact forces during a military situation. This will be headed by the Chief of the Unified Staff. As the SSUO is the leading nation of the Serovskya Pact, this position will be given to the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Soviet Union.
- Given the need for the Serovskya Pact to react quickly to changing situations and unexpected event on the international stage, Serovskya Pact members will agree to allow Soviet forces to base themselves and move through the territory of Pact members as needed. This will allow Soviet forces to react quickly to protect members rather than needing to move forces to members before they can do anything.
Article four: Alliance Economics
- Due to the financial requirements of the Serovskya Pact, it is a necessary that member nations provide a sum of money equivilent to about one percent of their GDP to the Pact treasury. However, if a member is experiancing economic troubles and feels that they cannot pay this, they can ask for the sum to either be reduced or cut completely, depending on the circumstances of the member.
- The nations of the pact should, because of their socialist principles, consider it a priority to get rid of, or at least reduce, their economic ties to capitalist nations and entities. To aid the nations of the pact in this endevour, the Soviet Socialist Union of Osea will agree to buy large amounts of export goods from the other member nations of the pact at inflated prices. It will also agree to sell export goods to member nations at reduced export prices.
- While reducing economic ties with capitalist and imperialist nations and entities is important, the opposite is true for nations on the political left, such as socialist nations. Since the Serovskya Pact is one for socialist nations, this principle is applyable to its members. To ensure healthy and well developed economic ties, members of the Serovskya Pact will not implement tarifs of more than 5% on other members of the Pact.
- It is important that the members of the Serovskya Pact stand together in all areas of life. Considering this, the Serovskya Pact will allow member nations with troubled economies to apply for an economic package from the pact to enable an economic recovery. The member nation will not have to pay back the package. However they might have to agree to undertake economic reforms before they are allowed to recieve the package. There is also a application form that members have to fill in before a decision can be made by the pact. If the request is due to sudden events, unconnected to the actions of the nation's government, like a natural distater or terrorist attack, there is a second, alternate form for the member to fill out in place of the first form.

These visas will also allow the citizens of member nations to settle in the territory of other Pact members than their own, with the condition that the citizen aqquires work in their new country of residence.
