PCBaller World/The New Warsaw Pact

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

Conferences of the NWP are held at Przyokopowa 28, 01-208 Warszawa (#pcbworld, with @every member). Observer states are permitted to participate in the conference 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. At the 1st Warsaw Pact Congress in Warsaw, the membership of Finland and Arimexico was approved with minor modifications to the provisions of the New Warsaw Pact treaty. Hungary was later approved as an observer state during the 2nd Warsaw Pact Congress in Kraków. The 3rd New Warsaw Pact Congress in Leningrad was a confidential meeting exclusively among member states concerning various classified strategic plans for the future.

Between the 2nd and 3rd congresses, Norway-Sweden withdrew from the New Warsaw Pact.
