The following is a far more formal type of "Social Gathering" than the on-going and rather hectic barbecue currently celebrating the inauguration of the Anarcho Communist Alliance.
It is a draft version two of an international agreement pioneered by Sacco & Vanzetti and Kerla within the Aperin continent and the Coalition of AntiCapitalist Economies (CACE).
This rewrite updates the original (known as IPPA) in two distinct areas:
a. It is aimed at members of the Anarcho Communisit Alliance rather than Aperin and CACE.
b. It removes agreement of a "cultural barrier" between the host and the settling cultures but allows pairs (or more) of signatories to set out the intended level of the interaction between their peoples.
I would welcome any observations or recommended changes to the wording etc.
Sacco & Vanzetti will happily enter negotiations with any members of the Anarcho Communist Alliance towards becoming signatories of this agreement - BUT please be aware that our land (and thus your pocket culture) is within the Aperin continent and international activity on your part in that region may be compromised by S&V's history there. I'll give more detail/background on this issue by PM if anyone wants it.
Copies of the original International Peoples Proliferation Agreement are avalaible on request.

PEOPLES INTERNATIONAL PROLIFERATION AGREEMENT (draft)
I. Definitions
A “pocket culture” is a settlement of no more than 500,000 peoples in a designated area set aside by a host peoples. The area set aside should be suitable to achieve self-sufficiency for the settling culture.
II. Aims
The PIPA aims to enable peoples from the region of the Anarcho Communist Alliance (tACA) to exchange land in order to establish “pocket cultures” that are geographically diverse but which remain culturally intact. The proliferation of peoples aims to provide a standard for the dispersal of political and cultural structures and libertarian self-governance in pockets throughout the region. This is to ensure the continuance of the political, socio-economic and cultural aspects of these populations in the face of war, natural disaster, upheaval, acts of nature and acts of God. It further allows interaction between cultures which are currently separated by great geographic distances.
III. Mechanics
Signatories will usually be in pairs where there is an agreement between two peoples to exchange land for the establishment of a pocket culture. However, more extended exchanges may take place where there exists agreement between three or more peoples to each provide space for each of the other signatories. Upon agreement of the size of land to be exchanged the host peoples will immediately withdraw from any settlements or other such infrastructure within the designated area. The size and resources of this land should be appropriate to the aim of self-sufficiency for the pocket.
Although there will be no barriers of any kind around the site of the pocket it is expected that peoples from both the host and the pocket culture will agree contact between them will mostly be of the nature of international diplomacy in order to preserve the cultural integrity of both the settling cultures and host cultures. Cross-border relations could normally include social, trade, product and resources exchanges, political and diplomatic. These specific contacts are not mandatory, nor is the suggested list exhaustive. Contacts may of any nature specifically agreed between the two (or more) peoples brought into direct contact through the agreement.
IV. Restrictions
Although the settling peoples will have total autonomy within their pocket, the settlers and their parent culture agrees that the pocket shall not contain, develop, service, store, manage, maintain or promote any military capability defined as air, sea, land, orbital, space, nuclear, bacteriological, chemical or special forces.
The settlers and their parent culture agree not to develop, construct, plan or impose heavy industry, energy usage, mineral acquisition, polluting products or by-products, or any activities which cause unsustainable damage to flora or fauna to the territory of the host peoples.
The host peoples agree not to develop, construct, plan or impose heavy industry, energy usage, mineral acquisition, polluting products or by-products, or any activities which cause unsustainable damage to flora or fauna to the territory of the pocket culture.
The settlers, their parent culture and the host peoples agree not to interfere directly (except through agreed political, social or diplomatic channels) with the cultural, political, socio-economic procedures and processes of either the pocket culture or the host culture.
V. Amendments
Amendments to the PIPA shall only be made with the approval of all the signatories of a specific exchange and shall be posted as such, the amendment itself being validated by each of the original signatories and counter-signed by them.
VI. Signatories
Anarchy In Motion and Sacco & Vanzetti (proposed pending completion of negotiations)
The Wyrm Tribe and Sacco & Vanzetti (pending final details)
Walter & Theodor and Clapton Pond (pending finalisation)
Watfordshire and Sacco & Vanzetti* (subject to the "let mayhem reign" clause, commonly known as the Watfordshire Protocol)
VII. List of Amendments
i. The Watfordshire Protocol
Following an experiment under the predecessor to the PIPA, the International Peoples Proliferation Agreement, signatories may additionally agree the Watfordshire Protocol, which aimed to explore cultural mixes across the boundaries of a pocket culture. This protocol upholds all of the tenets of the PIPA but seeks positive exploration of close cultural contact.
As this is likely to be a continuing experimental process, the precise nature of the protocol may change by agreement of the parties concerned but signatories are recommended to post the specifics of their agreed contact for their own and for the international community’s benefit and awareness.
PIPA signatories agreeing the Watforshire Protocol will be marked * under the Signatories section.
