This is a sample PIAT: Peace Intelligence Aid Treaty

---

Preamble

This treaty is between the countries of <Country 1> and <Country 2> with the intention of further ensuring the safety, security and prosperity of the membership of each country. It also serves as a symbol of the continually improving friendship, loyalty and bond shared between the two signatory countries.

Article I: Sovereignty

It must be understood that both countries shall remain sovereign and independent organizations. Either organization undertaking action (aggressive or defensive) against other entities not included in this agreement does so without implication of the other signatory.

Article II: Non-Aggression

No member of either signatory may participate in, support, or condone military action against a member within the corresponding signatory. If a member nation of either signatory country is found to have done this, they will be ordered to offer peace within 24 hours of the initial notification, and pay reparations equivalent to the total damages inflicted. This payment of reparations must not take place if doing so would be in violation of any other treaty, document or instrument of surrender. Defending nations are required to limit retaliation to the number and type of attacks received.

If the attacking nation refuses to offer peace to the defending nation within the specified time frame, without credible reason explaining the lack of compliance to the articles of this treaty, the attacking nation will be expelled from their alliance. Further, the expelled nation is to be considered a rogue by both signatory countries, and dealt with accordingly.

Article III - Civility

The membership of each signatory commit to remaining civil towards each other at all times, particularly in public channels, but also in private.

Article IV - Financial Assistance

In case of a conflict involving an attack on a signatory country by a third party, the attacked country may request financial aid, and the requested country, while not obligated to, is strongly encouraged to send available aid. This article can be enacted by the leadership of either country, and legitimate requests for financial assistance include, but are not limited to: rogue attacks, both conventional and nuclear; wars, both large and small scale. The signatory that has been requested to provide financial assistance has 72 hours to either approve or deny the request. This article may not be enacted if it would be in violation of any other signed treaty, document or instrument of surrender.

Article V - Espionage

Both signed countries agree that under no circumstances shall either signatory country engage in espionage against the other. Further, should a signatory receive information that points towards a possible leak in another signatory's security, this information must be shared and discussed immediately.

Article VI - Intelligence

Neither signatory country shall withhold information from the other signatory country that constitutes a direct threat to the security or well-being of the other signatory country. Both signatories shall strive to keep the each other informed of non-emergency situations as often as possible.

Article VII - Termination

Termination of this pact requires 72 hours notice. This notice is required to be given firstly via private channels. Any intentional or planned violations of the articles within this treaty result in the treaty being considered immediately void, unless otherwise agreed upon by the leadership of both signatories.
