Quote from: The Agreement

Section 1 - The Economy

The Nations of the Gulf of Auraxis recognise that streamlined trade between them can lead to greater prosperity for all nations. In addition that region wide investment can bring the living standards of all to become higher. With this in mind the nations of the region have agreed to the following arrangements.

i) Nations agree that any business who has its headquarters in another Gulf nation may take advantage of the terms outlined here.

ii) Any materials may cross freely from one nation to another with no tariffs so long as the materials do not leave the Gulf region. Materials are defined as unprocessed naturally occurring item.

iii) Any products may cross freely from one nation to another with no tariffs so long as its whole process was undertaken within the Gulf. For no tariffs to be charged the product must remain within the Gulf. A Product is defined as any item that has seen materials changed from their natural state.

iv) Any service provider may offer its services within the Gulf region so long as they pay taxes on profits accrued in that nation to the local government. Furthermore all service providers must ensure that all services being offered comply with local regulations.

v) Once a material or product has entered into the Gulf region and a tariff has been paid no further fees or tariffs for crossing a border shall be liable so long as the item remains in the same condition it entered the first Gulf nation. Should one Gulf nation have a "no tarrif" arrangement with the exporting nation then tariffs shall be liable at the first Gulf border it crosses after entry.

vi) A nation may set limits on items covered in ii and iii so long as it is declared on the 1st of April. Any nation setting such limits will automatically have tariffs placed upon their own exports of such materials.

vii) Any product or material crossing a border must comply with the laws of the nation it is travelling through even if these are different to those of the final destination.

viii) Any product or material leaving the Gulf region by a 3rd nation is liable to tariffs at a rate set by the nation from which the export takes place.

ix) A business may transport items for promotion and marketing without having to pay taxes on them for crossing the border. This is regardless of where their final destination is.

x) Staff required for promotional and marketing purposes may cross the border freely so long as their event is confirmed 7 days ahead of schedule and that they spend no longer than 14 days within the nation. While in that nation they must comply with all employment law.

xi) Materials or Products destined for the Blue projects will be granted entry to the Gulf tariff free. Should they then leave the Blue project they will be charged Tariffs at the rate set by the country in which they entered the region.

xii) All Gulf ports agree to the docking of the KHELPS project without fees or taxes unless paid also by local vessels.

xiii) No nation shall knowingly take action designed to harm the economy of another Gulf nation.

xiv) Should the Gulf members all agree then a nation may be recognised as an "Associate Gulf State" which will see them granted recognition as a preferred trading partner and thus receive reduced tariffs on a reciprocal arrangement

Section 2 - Cultural Co-Operation

The Nations of the Gulf of Auraxis recognise that they are each uniquely positioned to offer their citizens strong cultural enrichment opportunities. With this in mind the nations of the Region have agreed to the following.

i) Nations will permit anyone travelling for non-business reasons to enter their nation for a maximum of 21 days without the need for a visa. An individual on entry must prove they have a return ticket, have accommodation for their stay and sufficient funds.

ii) A citizen of any nation may apply for places at educational institutes at any Gulf nation so long as they can fund their study and have reached a minimum educational standard set by the institute.

iii) Individuals working as performers, athletes, musicians or artists shall be permitted to engage in their work in any Gulf Nation so long as they have a contract with a local company or organisation. They may only be stopped from working in other nations if they are deemed a threat to national security or public order.

iv) Sports teams travelling to other Gulf Nations may do so without the needs for visas so long as they are to take part in games sanctioned by international governing bodies.

v) A month prior to the Mundus Games there shall be the Gulf Games. This shall be hosted in a different nation each year on rotation. Should a nation wish to skip their opportunity to host they shall be under no obligation to do so.   

Section 3 - Security
The Nations of the Gulf of Auraxis recognise that the spectre of war and threats to security will prevent the citizens of the Gulf from being able to enjoy the prosperity and opportunities this document creates. With this in mind the Nations of the Gulf of Auraxis have agreed to the following:

i) Nations pledge that they will do all that is reasonable within their power to avoid war.

ii) Should a dispute arise between two nations who have signed this document the other nations shall do all that is possible to mediate between them to avoid war.

iii) Nations discovering a threat against another Gulf Nation agree to share that information so long as doing so does not endanger their own national security.

iv) Nations agree to maintain where possible a military element able to respond to humanitarian and military crisis that may occur in the region.

v)Nations agree to maintain active anti-piracy and search and rescue patrols within their region and should they be unable to maintain this will seek support of the other nations to ensure maritime safety and security is maintained

vi) Prior to conducting military exercises in the region nations agree to give other nations at least 48 hours notice.
