FIRST, that proper channels be established between the two parties' governing bodies responsible for civil external affairs, either directly by the official responsible for the operation of said body or by a properly accredited diplomat. In the case of the Ocian Federation, the responsible body would be the Ministry of Exterior. In the case of the Antican Commonwealth, it would be the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
SECOND, that both parties endeavor to peacefully resolve any issues which may occur to estrange them, and that if should this prove impossible by normal channels, then through the arbitration of a neutral third party.

FOURTH, that both parties respect the integrity of public spaces -- real, virtual, or imaginary -- claimed by the other party.
FIFTH, that neither party shall engage in nor actively sponsor, whether directly or indirectly, any act of aggression against the other except for when both parties have agreed by mutual consent that it is the appropriate course of action.
AND that this treaty be considered perpetually in full force immediately upon its ratification by both parties.
AND that an advanced notice of four weeks be made should a one party wish to annul this treaty, unless both parties are in mutual agreement or the other party has become defunct.
