Article IV: War and Defense

General Statutes of the Military:
I: Defense: If a member of the New Roman Republic is attacked by another nation, the New Roman Republic will defend that nation with all resources and options available. We promise to protect and repay for damages caused to your nation by other nations and will help to defend and solve all hostile situations.
II: Attacks: Under no circumstances are members of the New Roman Republic to attack any nation without permission from the Minister of War. Attacks against member nations of the New Roman Republic are not allowed, and doing so will result in immediate ZI.
III: Tech Raiding: Tech raiding is allowed, but all nations wishing to tech raid must get permission for every target they wish to attack. The New Roman Republic is not responsible for the losses of nations in tech raiding, but will assist in the ending of any conflicts started by the member if is deemed necessary.
IV: Spies: The use of spies is counted as attacks against another nation. Spies are allowed but may only be used against nations of which has properly attacked with permission from the Minister of War or to nations of an alliance of which the New Roman Republic is at war with. Since this is a major offense, the use of spies in situations beyond these could result in immediate banning or ZI for the safety of the alliance’s sake as a whole.
V: Nuclear Weapons: Nuclear weapons are allowed, but may only be purchased with the prior approval of the High Ministers, which may limit the number of weapons a single nation is allowed to own. Nuclear weapons can be used, but permission must be acquired from the High Ministers to use them. If you have been attacked by nuclear weapons, you may respond with a similar nuclear defensive attack, but you must report this as well.
VI: All nations are required to keep their military at or above minimum standards in the possible event of war and the defense of the New Roman Republic.
VII: Any nation ordered to attack by a higher-ranking military officer or government official must oblige and follow commands without question. The New Roman Republic will do its best to repay all losses in such attacks. Failure to follow any such order will result in an offense and possible additional consequences.
VIII: Surrender is not an option. If you are told to fight, you will continue to do so or declare peace if approved by the Minister of War. Declaring peace without permission is a major offense and can occur with a ban or even ZI.
IX: If an enemy nation offers to surrender, you must report such an occurrence in the Ministry of War and continue to attack the other nation until the surrender has been approved. If the enemy surrender is not approved, you must continue the attack regardless. You may not make secret peace/surrender deals and terms for the personal gain of your nation, as it is a serious offense.
X: Nations of the New Roman Republic may not aid or accept the aid of enemies of the New Roman Republic without the approval of superiors.
