Clarification
It should be noted that this treaty does not include a clause concerning ignored nations. The treaty cannot force nations who ignore one or more signatory nations to recognize them in any way. As with all roleplaying situations, players chose who they will recognize and nations in this situation should honour this. Specifically, not all members of MFTA recognise 'Mars B' as existing and some feel OOC that these nations can not be a part of the treaty.
