The Arctic States of the Northern Union, Norway, and Iceland provided for the adoption of a mutual defense treaty during extensive negotiations some two years ago. Today is the day that (hopefully) such an agreement is actually signed.

The Arctic Treaty Organization, in a role similar to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), is meant to affirm NU, Iceland, and Norwegian commitment to the mutual security. We all share a common border in the Arctic and with it a common destiny in the protection of our northern birthright.

Terms

• A commitment to the mutual defense, mutual aid and mutual support of each others national aims and interests

• A binding mutual defense agreement between Iceland, Norway, and the Northern Union

• The establishment of an Arctic Cooperation Council in Charlottetown, PEI for further cooperation between each other on civilian goals

• The establishment of a common military command headquartered out of a mountain bunker in Labrador. The exact location shall not be publicly named

• The establishment of three more localized military theater commands in Reitan )NATC], Keflavik [IATC] and Ottawa [UATC].

This is not meant to replace NATO or anything like it, but rather to affirm an agreement to protect and maintain our collective Arctic sovereignty, well-being, success, and prosperity.

Further terms can and will be added as necessary, and we welcome Iceland and Norway to introduce any additional terms they would like to see added now.
