Allied Antarctic Asskickers

The State Parties to this Treaty affirm their desire to anger, shock, frighten, alarm, provoke and escalate tensions with all peoples and all governments. They are determined to safeguard the freedom, common heritage, and civilization of their peoples, founded on the principles of unrelenting tyranny, malice, corruption and greed; callous disregard for human rights and individual liberties; stickin' it to the gnomes; and tying hippies to stakes and lighting a fire under their asses till they go up like fireworks ("Whoooo!!! Look at 'em go!!!"). They are convinced that these freedoms cannot be safeguarded absent the annihilation of Allemande and its estimated 70 million puppets ... your bachelor's degree in economics ain't gonna get you out of this one, bitch -- not when we have the frickin' Death Star! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! They seek to promote stability and well being in Antarctic Oasis, as well as hoarding cash, straight pimpin' like it's going out of style, making hoochies scream like they're in labor, and promoting the common interests of their citizens -- particularly the "interests" of the hot chick who's flashing me outside my office window. Yeah!! Take it off, baby!! Where you gonna be at later?! They are resolved to unite their efforts for collective defense and for the preservation of peace and security in the region, and to heed the immortal words a certain Oasis nation's gallant naval protectors: "Get the *bleep!* *bleep!* CPESL workers *bleep!* *bleep!* *bleep!* polishing my *bleep!* *bleep!* callboys?! What the *bleep!* *bleep!* God-damned cutesie-wutesie kitten-worshipers *bleep!* * bleep!* *bleep!* <unbelievably obscene expletive> purple monkey dishwasher, and *bleep!* *bleep!* <excessively gross act> *bleep!* stupid goat-herders *bleep!* *bleep!* all over the fucking place."
