10.4.1.1 TREATIES
The treaty system is a way of maintaining treaties between cities,
guilds, houses, clans and orders.
TREATY STATUS
-------------
There are seven different states a treaty can have, which affects what
can be done with them.
* Draft
- Draft treaties are what the name implies.
- Draft treaties can be deleted, edited and approved.
* Inactive
- An inactive treaty is a treaty that has been signed and approved.
- Inactive treaties can be deleted or offered to an organization.
* Pending
- A pending treaty is a treaty that has been offered to an organization
and is awaiting a response.
- Pending treaties can be accepted or rejected.
* Active
- An active treaty is a treaty considered to be currently in effect.
- Active treaties can be voided.
* Rejected
- A rejected treaty is a treaty that was offered but rejected by the
other organization.
- Rejected treaties will be automatically archived after 5 days.
* Voided
- A voided treaty is a treaty that was in effect, but one of the
organizations decided to cancel it.
- Voided treaties will be automatically archived after 5 days.
* Archived
- Archived treaties are an organization's past treaties.
- Archived treaties can be deleted.
WAR TREATIES

TYPES OF TREATIES
-----------------
Alliance
- Allows both city's supplylines to serve the commodity production
of the other.
Ceasefire
- A stated agreement to ceasefire - often a benchmark between war and peace.
Peace
- Effectively liberates both cities from a state of war.
Territory
- Territorial agreement between two cities. Liberating and capturing
is still required.
Treaty Commands
---------------
There are three ranks to the commands for interacting with treaties.
Rank 1: Anyone in the organization can use these commands.
Rank 2: People with the Ambassador priv, or guild secretaries can use
these.
Rank 3: Only the organization's leader, or an orderhead, can use these.
Please note that any of the following commands can have CITY substituted
with CLAN, ORDER, HOUSE or GUILD.
