Revision as of 04:38, 5 March 2006

The Allied Powers Treaty Organization (APTO) is a roleplay-based alliance of nations residing in the The Allied Powers region founded in mid-April 2003 by the nations of New Genoa and New Arab Countries. Occasionally, an APTO Conference is held in one of the member nations' cities.

Currently, the APTO has 7 nations in its ranks.

APTO Charter

1. Standing Non Aggression Pacts (NAPs) between all members. That is, no attacks and no wars on a fellow member.
2. That friendly relations between APTO members be 'encouraged', but not enforced. This can mean trade, military treaties, embassy exchange and so on and so forth. On the flip side of the coin, we can still allow ignores, but not attacks against a fellow member.
3. That APTO frowns upon members making cowardly attacks on members and then hiding behind our regional defense umbrella. If you attack someone for whatever reason and suffer a backlash, take it on the chin. However, if you are "genuinely" attacked by someone with a grudge, we will support you in defense.
4. Recognises each member nation's right of self governance and self determination, as well as acknowledging each member's individual right to govern their nation as the government sees fit.
5. Acknowledges that each member nation may take whatever steps necessary, to arm and protect itself against whatever dangers and threats it deems in existence. However, it is hoped that restraint will be shown during a conflict, the unleashing of the weapons in its arsenal and the manner in which the conflict is conducted
