Treaty of Loughlin

The Treaty of Loughlin is a peace treaty that was signed near the end of the Second Great War that established a separate peace between Faneria and the Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association powers and Caergwynn. It was mediated via the Fanerian ambassador and representatives in Urceopolis and signed in Loughlin in late 1942. Negotiations began following the Rose Revolution in Faneria following increasing public dissent against the war and particularly against the extension of conscription terms to an indefinite period of time. The treaty was particular to Faneria and its puppet governments in Fiannria and Caergwynn. Notably, Caergwynn was not included in negotiations due to its status as a non-LOTA power, but was represented obstensibly in its interests by the Urcean negotiators.

Territorial changes
The Treaty of Loughlin returned all occupied territory under Fhainnin military rule or rule of its puppet governments (The Revolutionary Republics of the Eastern and Northern Gaels) to its prewar owners. Additionally, Faneria formally ceded its claims to large portions of former territory possessed de jure by Fiannria in perpetuity, most notably the territory of Costaban, Fiannria's coastal possessions on the Vandarch Sea. As Costaban had been reintegrated into Faneria proper in 1936, it was declared in a separate clause; a minor oversight in another border adjustment made by Faneria northwards created the disputed territory of Whiteglen, which would be resolved by a condominium status.

Faneria was required to relinquish territories seized from Caergwynn in the 1902-03 Boreal War, as well as losing significant territories with majority Caeric/Cascufhainn populations along its northern border in lieu of further financial compensation. This severed Faneria's metropolitan area from the modern exclave of Sorhaithe.

Finally, Faneria's project to construct a maritime canal across the Ereglasian Isthmus and the surrounding territory was taken as an international concession.

Other Conditions
Significant financial conditions were included, totaling ₮35 Billion for loss of life, destruction of properties, and other war costs, with ₮33 Billion going to Fiannria and ₮2 Billion to Caergwynn. Faneria was permitted to settle portions of this debt by transferal of its capital ships, cession of the island of Eilada (an option Faneria's government barely avoided taking), and other means. Much of this debt would be repaid in the form of victims' and reconstruction funds directly from Fanerian taxes and the subsidization of a plurality of the remaining cost of constructing the Grand Vandarch Canal. Reconstruction of roads and rails over most of the occupied territory in Fiannria was performed directly by disarmed Fhainnin military forces prior to treaty drawdowns.

Faneria's standing military was capped at an all-volunteer force of one million personnel sum total, with a ban on building select types of weapons such as tanks, warships over 20,000 tons total displacement, and advanced aircraft until various portions of the debt were repaid. Most of these conditions were met by the 1960s, with Fhainnin military industry subsisting off of foreign contracts in the interim, most notably to Kiravia and other Coscivian nations. Others were written off after the Restoration of Brotherly Relations Papers signed between Fiannria and Faneria in 1964.

Additionally, Faneria's new government was required to dismantle the institutions of the ARSG, the nascent pan-gaelic union state envisioned by Faneria's wartime leadership, as well as issue pardons to the majority of former Royalist Fhainn in exile. Faneria was required returned all prisoners of war unilaterally; the majority of prisoners held by the victorious powers were to be returned by 1945 as part of repayment in the form of labor, but worked alongside disarmed non-POW forces in most cases. Prisoners accused of war crimes were not to be returned unless exonerated or sentences had been served, though it was mediated that executions would not be held for conscripted Fhainnin personnel, who were almost universally non-officers. Faneria was also required to extradite members of the Revolutionary Republics' militaries and governments in its territory, but the enforcement of this clause was primarily centered on political leadership as many military personnel from Faneria's auxiliary forces successfully blended into Fhainnin society or attained citizenship.
