I present the following treaty for members to become signatories to, this is not a vote or a proposal, simply the statement of the emplacement of this treaty. We invite any members of the Empire to join the coalition so long as they are willing to abide by the rules of the treaty.

While at all times deferring to the Emperor in all things, and agreeing that Imperial Tariffs and regulations are fair and just, it has arisen that some worlds have, of late, imposed an unfair and unjust impediment upon fellow members of the Empire through either unreasonable taxation, unjust trade barriers and unreasonable prevention of goods.

In order to streamline the process, it is abundantly logical that the worlds involved with this impediment of the Emperor's trade, and so the worlds which do not place impediments upon trade within the Empire and believe in the free exchange of goods and the tendering of a percentage of the value of each sale to his majesty shall henceforth establish an agreement to assure free trade between them and attempt to take such reasonable steps as may be necessary in order to ensure the flow of credits to the Imperial Treasury.

Furthermore, it is desirable that the forces of his majesty should not be subjected to foreclosing on the defaulted taxes of the Imperial Members, thus if required the coalition would be established in order to pay off the debt at any world that has defaulted and then would be endowed with the right to foreclose on the assets of said world either as a coalition or as individual members.

OBJECTIVES
1. The Parties hereby establish a free trade area on goods, services, establishment and associated rules in accordance with this Agreement.
2. The objectives of this Agreement are:
(a) to liberalise and facilitate trade in goods between the Parties, in conformity with Imperial Law and the desires of his Majesty to allow prosperity in the Galaxy

(g) to commit, in the recognition that prosperity is an overarching objective, to the development of inter planetary trade in such a way as to contribute to the objective of increased profit and strive to ensure that this objective is integrated and reflected at every level of the Parties’ trade relationship; and
(h) to promote the reduction of unfair restrictions on specific goods and services, and to aid its members in resisting any form of economic strife imposed by an outside member.
(i) to commit to the deployment of military force (should it become necessary) to protect any members of the coalition from any economic or military sanctions targeted at the economy of any members, and to also deploy force should it be necessary in support of the Imperial Military or to bring worlds to account should they fail to default on tax payments to the Empire.
(j) to establish a Commission consisting of Five Commissioners per Core world; and One Commissioner per world outside of the Core to decide on any matters relating to the treaty by simple majority, his Imperial Majesty shall have power of veto on all decisions and also the power to make his own rulings should the situation require such an action or should a deadlock arise.
(k) to ensure clarity, the Imperial Senate Commerce Committee may also veto commission decisions with a unanimous vote.
