PCBaller World/The New Warsaw Pact

The New Warsaw Pact (NWP) is an intergovernmental military alliance spanning Eurasia and North America, comprising of seven member states: the Polish Social Nationalist Republic, the Neo-Soviet Union, the Islamic Emirate of Finland, the Worker's Commune of Arimexico, the Federated Socialist Republic of California, Puerto Rico and Communist Canada. Additionally, the alliance has two observer states: the Republic of Sorbia and the National Republic of Hungary.

The NWP adopts an anti-liberal and anti-neocon stance, with no ideological requirements beyond those stated. It is important to note that "liberal" in this context does not necessarily mean "progressive," and progressive states are welcome to join the pact. Currently, the alliance is involved in anti-terrorist activities in Lithuania as outlined in provisions 1 and 4.

To apply for membership in the NWP, an application must be submitted and approved by all member states, after which the provisions must be ratified by the applicant state.

Congresses of the NWP are held at cities of member or observer states disclosed in the invitation letters. The HQ of the NWP is in Przyokopowa 28, 01-208, Warsaw. Observer states are permitted to participate in the public congress discussions, but they do not possess veto power over decisions or applications.

Origins
The New Warsaw Pact (NWP) traces its roots to a diplomatic exchange between Poland and the Neo-Soviet Union regarding a mutual defense pact. This correspondence subsequently led to the participation of Norway-Sweden and Sorbia in the congress. During the congress, the Kultokrat of Poland introduced the idea of forming an alliance. While Sorbia immediately applied for membership, it was denied due to ongoing conflicts with North Germany and instead granted observer status. Canada later joined the pact as an observer state. Between the 2nd and 3rd congresses, Norway-Sweden withdrew from the New Warsaw Pact.

1st Congress
The inaugural New Warsaw Pact Congress was convened in Warsaw to discuss various pertinent topics, including the admission of Finland and Arimexico as members and the provisions of the pact.

It was unanimously agreed upon by all member nations to approve the applications of Finland and Arimexico for membership. However, the Neo-Soviet land of people initially declined the provisions of the New Warsaw Pact. Following the incorporation of Article 11, the provisions were ultimately ratified by the Neo-Soviet land of people, thereby bringing the congress to a close.

2nd Congress
The second New Warsaw Pact Congress convened in Kraków to address pertinent issues regarding the alliance's operations. The main agenda was to approve Hungary as an observer state, which received unanimous support from all members present, without any complications.

3rd congress
The 3rd New Warsaw Pact Congress convened in Leningrad, with adherence to clause of Article 12.2, resulting in limited information dissemination to the public and international observers. While the nature of the conference revolved around military and political strategy, details of the proceedings remained confidential, aside from the promotion of Communist Canada from observer to member state.

4th Congress
The 4th New Warsaw Pact Congress was convened in Budapest to discuss the admission of The Balkan Union as a member state of the Pact. The voting process is presently underway and results are expected to be announced shortly.
