For the good and wellbeing of the peoples of Scandinavia the leaders of Russia, Germany and England met this month, at a secret retreat on the Isle of Hlér to negotiate a regional peace agreement for all of Scandinavia. These three great powers agreed to the following.

1. Domains

1a. Sweden and St. Petersburg are hereby the domain of Russia.

1b. Denmark is hereby the domain of Germany.

1c. Norway is hereby the domain of England.

2. Demilitarization

2a. No armies are permitted in Sweden, Norway, Finland or St. Petersburg

2ai. Exceptions: Russia may build armies in St. Petersburg if a) there is no more convenient build location, b) he submits written notification to England prior to the build.

2b. The Barents Sea, Skagerrak and the Baltic Sea are hereby declared demilitarized zones.

3. Enforcement

3a. Should one signatory nation attack the Scandinavian domain of another nation (clause 1) or violate a DMZ (clause 2), the violator's or invader's rights to any territory in Scandinavia is hereby forfeit."

3b. The third nation is obligated to attack the invader and support the invaded until such time as the aggressor nation loses all claims in Scandinavia and is deprived of one supply center in addition to her Scandinavian domain.

4. Withdrawal

4a. Any nation, may void the agreement by providing written notification to the other two signatories. One year following notification the agreement is void.

The peoples of Scandinavia rejoice; there will be peace in our time!
