By signing this document with my own name and country of my political influence, I state I am the current spokesperson for my nation and accept that all undersigned are to receive my nation's support in the advance of scientific research. "My nation's support" is outlined as being: 1- Funds If my nation's current economic state allows it, I will donate sums of money to those undersigned which are currently economically less fortunate. The required economic strength is (as classified by the UN) 'Very Strong' or higher - should my nation's economy fall below this, no funds will be demanded of the undersigned, instead, my nation will be considered a receiver of funds. No taxes will be demanded off the funding and the undersigned will not demand their money back once it has been used, but will live with the knowledge that their ability to demand funds of the undersigned is payment enough. 2- The sharing of top researchers If my nation's current political state allows it, I will send researchers - at no cost to the other nation - to nations of the undersigned as they need it. The required political state is that of peace. Tensions between other nations and one of the undersigned will allow delays in the sending of researchers of that nation. A war will allow the involved to keep their researchers in their own nation for the duration of the war. These exceptions will be respected by the undersigned. 3- The sharing of no less than 70% of all public knowledge aquired Public knowledge is defined as being knowledge that is publically accessible. This includes unpublished documents as far as they do not fall into the category of military knowledge (see below). 4- The sharing of no less than 5% of all military knowledge aquired Military knowledge is defined as being knowledge that cannot be demanded to be published for the public by the public. It includes Top Secret documents and otherwise classified information. I further acknowledge that I and my nation are from now on bound to the following rules: 1- Obligatory public knowledge databases for access by my own scientists My nation is obligated to keep a database of it's public knowledge for the sake of enforcing point three in the list of what defines my nation's support. This is for both my own convinience and so the undersigned can enforce this. 2- Obligatory military knowledge databases for access by those authorized for the projects therein My nation is obligated to keep a database of it's military knowledge for the sake of enforcing point four in the list of what defines my nation's support. This is not so that the undersigned can enforce this (having no cleared authorisation for the database), but for my own convinience. I recognize that neither I nor my nation shall abuse this. When the undersigned are in doubt of my heeding of this rule, they are allowed to send a neutral element from another country (legally sworn to secrecy - should this be violated, the nation has thus declared a war on the nation it stole military knowledge of) to inspect the percentage of knowledge shared. 3- Another nation's rules are another nation's rules My nation has no right to demand certain behaviour of other nations in connection with this knowledge. Should the other nation choose to use the knowledge internally for what is, in world consensus, considered as "without moral", my nation has no right to complain, much less to apply for this nation's signature to be removed from this document. Should a nation externally apply it's knowledge for a war of offence/aggression, the undersigned will only act if this war is against one of the undersigned, where removal of the offending nation may be debated over as the situation calls for. Any further judging shall be left to other organizations or the common sense of the nations involved. 4- A change of power in my own nation may affect my nation's membership Should a government be imposed upon my country that threatens to violate the third obligation, my nation will be removed from the list of the undersigned. Should a government be imposed upon my country that no longer wishes to participate, my nation has the right to have itself removed from the list of the undersigned.
