The resolute Guild Masters present this formal proposition to the Emperor of Kusari to serve as a document that will solidify political, cultural, and security relations with our Kusari harakara (brethren). The purposes of this document are to provide a template for the mutual cooperations between the Gas Miners Guild and Imperial Nations of Kusari and to reaffirm the sovereignty of the GMG-controlled space.

Article 1: Mutual Recognition of Sovereignty

The Kusari Government fully recognizes the Gas Miners Guild as a sovereign corporate collective administered by a Board of Executives, whose citizens are its members, inhabitants, and shareholders. Kusari fully acknowledges the GMG's sovereignty over the entirety of the Sigma-13 system, the Hiryu Cloud and Donryu Cloud regions of Sigma-19, Sigma-59 and the vicinity of any entry to the system, the entirety of the Okinawa System, and the 7.0k vicinity and enclosure of Aomori Station in Honshu. Kusari recognizes the Honshu system as a region of overlapping political and cultural interests with the GMG. Aomori Station shall remain sovereign to the GMG, the Kusari Government diplomatically recognizes Aomori Station as GMG's outpost and center of commerce in Kusari.

The GMG fully recognizes the Kusari Government as the sole governing body of クサリ 帝国 Kusari Teikoku (Kusari), and recognizes the following systems as territories of the Kusari Empire: New Tokyo, Shikoku, Kyushu, Honshu, Hokkaido, Tohoku, Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Nagano, Tau-29, Tau-31 and Northern Seto.
