CoN 4: First Treaty of Pasai

Background
As Malaya and the Netherlands grow closer diplomatically, they seek to divide territories in the New World to make colonization efforts safer for them both. The Netherlands has offered to split California with Malaya, despite Japanese claims to the region. Though Malaya does not wish to interfere with Japanese interests, they aren't going to pass up on a free land treaty.

Text of the Treaty
1st Treaty of Pasai

9 FEB 1605

-The Netherlands and Malaya acknowledge the current and relevant rush for New World possessions, both laying claim to what would be referred to henceforth as 'Colonial California', to be defined as the Colonial region with the same name.

-Attached is the propositionary divide between Dutch and Malayan claims to the region. Both nations will attempt with all reasonable expectation to not expand into eachothers claims.

-Should both parties consent, they may expand into the opposite party's claim to the Colonial California region only. Colonizing each others claims without consulting the other party will be a violation of the treaty.

-Exceptions may be made to Colonial Nations colonizing into claimed territories, but artificial wars can be made in the future to exchange territories that colonial nations accidentally take.

-Let it be defined that provinces marked, or surrounded by, in purple are acknowledged by both parties as Malayan claims.

-Let it be defined that provinces marked, or surrounded by, Yellow, are acknowledged by both parties as Dutch claims.

-Let it be defined that provinces marked by black are not affected by the treaty, and can be colonized by either party.

-This treaty shall be in effect until both parties mutually consent to the repealing of the treaty.



Signed

Paul van Oranje, Grand Pensionary of the Republic of the Netherlands

Aftermath
This treaty, made public, would divide Malayan and Japanese ties further apart. The Dutch Espionage Crisis would continue to worsen their relations.
