Out with the AAF, in with the TAMTO.

JUDEA - Today, representatives of the Arstotzkan Allied Forces, leader by the Commander of all Arstotzkan Forces met with the Supreme Emperor in Judea today and signed the Bethlehem Charter, dissolving the former Coalition against the Alliance (CaTA), which has been around for a whole two months, standing as the Arstotzkan Unions line of defense from the armies of the alliance of the CDG and Grayson Country.

The First President who was representing the Arstotzkan Union and the Supreme Emperor signed their names on a treaty establishing a new organization, the Tauranga Allied Micronational Treaty Organization (TAMTO), and no not tomato. The organization which has strong similarities to NATO, is standing as a new permanent intergovernmental treaty group against the Alliance.

The Bethlehem Charter holds 10 Articles for which outlines the rules and procedures of the TAMTO. One of which includes a similar procedure to NATO, Article 5. Basing itself in the "Attack on one, is an attack on all" mantra. The treaty also creates the TAMTORF or the Tauranga Allied Micronational Treaty Organization Response Forces, which essentially acts as an armed force to go in and attack any nation which attacked either the Arstotzkan Union or the Ward Empire.

Other nations are allowed to join the TAMTO however in a similar process to the NATO membership process. The First President has also announced that the TAMTO will support the new members of the Tauranga Commonwealth of Micronations.

Positions for the General Secretary of the TAMTO, Chairman of the Allied Military Council and Commander of Imperial Forces are currently pending and are available, however the position of Commander of Imperial Forces can only go to a military officer from the First Supreme Army of the Ward Empire. Positions on the Allied Military Council are open as well.
