Treaty of Ervelt

The Treaty of Ervelt was drafted to end a centuries long conflict between six nations over the Ervelt region. More countries have since signed the treaty as well, agreeing to remain neutral in regards to the region and gain access to trade that travels through it. The basis of the treaty states that no country shall attempt to influence or control any land or city within the Ervelt, but instead each of the cities shall remain independent city states. Should anyone, including those not within the treaty, attempt to do so they will face attack from all other countries under the treaty.   While this treaty offers protection for all city states within the Ervelt, it also introduces restrictions as well. Each city state must remain open to all countries who have signed the treaty. They must allow diplomats and trading parties from the countries within their city. They may bar a specific trading party or diplomat due to their actions, but this must be communicated to the nation that they represent. Should there be indication that they are attempting to restrict a specific countries access the current leadership of that city state may be removed by force. Each city state must also remain independent of all other city states. They can form close ties and have diplomatic relations, but the governments must remain separate. This is to prevent any formation of a nation from within the Ervelt. If one city state is seen as having too much control over another city state, they also risk having the offending parties removed from government.     Original Nations that Signed the Treaty: These are the nations and kingdoms that participated in the original conflict and then helped to negotiate and sign the treaty. Some of them no longer exist, but many other nations have signed the treaty since then, ensuring lasting peace in the Ansbridge Isthmus.
