CoN 4: First Treaty of Melaka

Background
The Asian member-states do not always get along. Already in the Philippines, the Japanese and Malay argued over who had rights to the territories before Malaya took it from the natives by force. Malaya sees the writing on the wall, and knows eventually it will have a land border with the Mughals and/or Japan. In an effort to avoid another conflict, Malaya wrote out a treaty.
