The '''Treaty of Narasseta''' was a treaty between [[Urcea]] and [[Algoquona]] establishing regular borders and diplomatic relations between the two nations. It also formally ended the War of the Northern Confederation, which had seen a permanent ceasefire since 1 July 2010, and established the [[Unnuaq Mission State|Unnuaq mission exclusion zone]] in northern Algoquona. Beginning in 2015, both parties consistently accused the other of breaking the spirit of the agreement, and in November of 2016 Algoquona effectively abrogated the treaty, leading to Operation Mission Shield.


== Background and negotiation ==
'''Great Levantia''', in its latter stages sometimes called the '''Levantine Potentate''', was a civilization in ancient [[Levantia]], which began as an [[Adonerum|Adonerii]] string of settlements in Levantia and centered on [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], conventionally agreed upon to have been founded in 887 BC. Great Levantia expanded to become one of the largest empires in the ancient world.
During the [[War of the Northern Confederation]], the hundreds-year old Northern Confederation collapsed under the weight of internal division and military intervention from Urcea. The Confederation ceased functioning in the spring of 2010, but Algoquona - one of the primary constituents of the Confederation - claimed legal succession of the Confederation. Algoquona kept fighting until July 2010, when its forces were ejected from Cheektowaga, after which time both sides agreed to a ceasefire. Peace negotiations began on 15 July 2010 at [[Electorsbourg]], and Urcean negotiators initially tried to obtain a formal peace ''{{wp|Uti possidetis}}'', or based on the borders currently held by both sides. Algoquona used the negotiation time to establish hegemony over most of the remaining tribes of the former Confederation, using diplomacy and, allegedly, military action, so much so that by 2011 most of the Northern Confederation had been incorporated into the newly reformed Federal State of Algoquona. Urcean negotiators considered this a breach of good faith and a violation of the principles Algoquonan negotiators had been pressing - namely that of self-determination. The Royal and Imperial Army was again mobilized in New Harren as negotiations nearly broke down, but both sides agreed to mediation by [[Carna]]‎‎ and agreed to maintain the ceasefire.


Urcea had three primary goals for the treaty at the beginning of negotiations, the paramount of which was a formal end to the War of the Northern Confederation and gradual demilitarization of [[New Harren]] in order to allow for economic development of the Kingdom. Their second goal was a permanent border solution with regards to Algoquona and New Harren, and the third goal was guarantees of protection of various Catholic missions in the arctic north of the country which had existed for hundreds of years. Algoquona had two primary goals, the first of which was recognition of Algoquona as the formal legal successor of the Northern Confederation, and the second of which was a provision to give Algoquona diplomatic and legal protection from Urcea. Most of these goals were amenable to the other party, but the central issue dividing negotiators was the repercussions of recognizing Algoquona as successor of the Northern Confederation; the latter wanted to be recognized as the legitimate government over the entirety of the Confederation, which problematically included the territory now part of New Harren. Urcea rejected the successor clause during negotiations several times, but finally reached a breakthrough in the mid-summer of 2012 as Carnish mediators successfully convinced Algoquona to formally recognize New Harren as no longer an "integral part of the Northern Confederation", which allowed Urcea the flexibility to recognize the legal succesison.
In its many centuries of existence, the Levantine state evolved from a league of city-states to a classical republic and then to an increasingly autocratic hereditary theocratic monarchy and finally to a military dictatorship. Through conquest and assimilation, it eventually dominated the [[Odoneru Ocean|Odoneran coast]] and most of south and northeastern [[Levantia]]. It is sometimes grouped into classical antiquity together with its predecessor [[Adonerum]] and ancient [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|Istroya]], and their similar cultures and societies are considered to be the nucleus of the modern [[Occidental world]].


== Key provisions ==
Ancient Levantine civilisation has contributed to modern language, religion, society, technology, law, politics, government, warfare, art, literature, architecture and engineering. Levantia professionalised and expanded its military and created a system of government called res publica, the inspiration for modern republics. It achieved impressive technological and architectural feats, such as the construction of an extensive system of aqueducts and roads, as well as the construction of large monuments, palaces, and public facilities.
The Treaty was signed on 24 August 2012 and included a number of articles and provisions relating to "permanent and perpetual peace" between the Kingdom of New Harren and Algoquona. Among these provisions were:


# Algoquona's recognition of the sovereignty and integrity of the Kingdom of New Harren
Plagued by internal instability and attacked by various migrating peoples, the Levantine empire broke up into independent "barbarian" kingdoms in the 5th century. This splintering is a landmark historians use to divide the ancient period of universal history from the pre-medieval period.
# A final border settlement between New Yustnona and Algoquona
# The reestablishment of formal diplomatic relations between Algoquona and Urcea (and, by proxy, New Harren)
# The mutual recognition of the end of the War of the Northern Confederation and dissolution of the Northern Confederation
# Urcean recognition of Algoquona as the Confederation's legal successor, which soon became accepted at Urcea's insistence by the League of Nations
# The ability for border tribes hostile to Algoquona to relocate to New Harren
# The exchange of prisoners of war
# The establishment of an Unnuaq mission exclusion zone among the 18 Missions of St. Thomas in the former northeastern fringe of the Confederation, providing that Algoquona demilitarize the area and allow privileges for the missions to continue their ministry
# The exclusion of Urcean citizens and commercial interests from Algoquona
# A non-binding general agreement and understanding of peace and disarmament in Northwestern Crona, particularly by Urcea; this provision was known as Article 25


== Failure and aftermath ==
Due to Great Levantia's vast extent and long endurance, the institutions and culture of Rome had a profound and lasting influence on the development of language, religion, architecture, philosophy, law, and forms of government in the territory it governed. The Latin language of the Levantines evolved into the Romance languages of the medieval and modern world. Its adoption of Christianity led to the formation of Christendom during the Middle Ages. Istroyan and Levantine art had a profound impact on the late medieval Latinic Renaissance, while early Levantia's republican institutions influenced the political development of later republics. The corpus of Levantine law has its descendants in many legal systems of the world today. Great Levantia's architectural tradition served as the basis for Neoclassical architecture.
The provisions of the treaty were controversial in both Urcea and Algoquona; in Urcea, the government lead by [[James Cossus Reed]] was criticized as being too lenient on the Algoquonans, whom they had just defeated in war, while many in Algoquona considered the treaty a betrayal of the legacy of the Confederation. Despite initial unrest, however, the treaty entered into force in November of 2012 and provided the basis of peaceful relations and coexistence for the next three years. Beginning in 2015, however, Algoquona began to lodge a series of formal complaints with the League of Nations that Urcea was violating the spirit of the treaty as well as the letter of Article 25 by its increasing militarization and involvement in the South Nysdra War, and that the annexation of Cetsencalia was a violation of the treaty. In turn, Urcea also began to lodge formal complaints and issue requests for compliance to Algoquona for ongoing issues relating to the harassment of the Unnuaq mission exclusion zone. Particularly, local militias aligned with the Algoquonan government began to harass the mission zone with raids and kidnappings, though the Algoquonan government retained plausible deniability since it was not official government forces. Algoquona lost considerable diplomatic leverage with the adoption by the League of Nations of the Western Crona Emergency Resolution, which it voted against in the League of Nations General Assembly.


A period of what many analysts referred to as "diplomatic bickering" continued through 2016, as the completion of the South Nysdra War and establishment of the Kingdom of [[Quetzenkel]] was viewed by Algoquona as an unacceptable breach. A growing consensus among the Council of Hierarchs indicated that the Treaty had outlived its usefulness, and that if it did not restrain Urcea from acting with impunity in Crona, it should be abrogated. Through much of October and early November, there was still enough support for the treaty until Urcea signed the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association|Nysdra Sea Treaty]] in mid November. Policymakers in Algoquona now directly viewed Urcea's ambitions as "nakedly imperial", and on November 28th, 2016, it announced it would be functionally abrogating the treaty by "no longer abiding by its provisions or participating in its settlements". Urcea's [[Ministry of State (Urcea)|Ministry of State]] made a last minute offer to renegotiate the Treaty.
== Etymology ==


Following the breakdown of the treaty and various provocations made against the mission territory and New Harren itself, Urcea launched [[Operation Mission Shield]], seizing the [[Unnuaq Chain]] by force and formally establishing Urcean military protection over the reinstated Unnuaq mission exclusion zone.

Following more than a century of military setbacks and establishment of barbarian kingdoms within the traditional boundaries of Great Levantia, central authority began to collapse beginning in around 480 AD. By this time, Great Levantia was mostly contained to the northern two-thirds of modern [[Urcea]], most of [[Burgundie]] and most of [[Dericania]]. The province of [[Pralia Mountains|Pralia]] Maritima - an area approximately encompassing modern [[Roscampus]], [[Lower Carolina]], and southern [[Carna]] - declared that it would appoint its own governors internally in the year 482, denying the right traditionally reserved only to Imperial authorities. When the Imperial appointed governor died in 484, an Imperial army tried and failed to force a new appointee there, with the Imperator suing for peace. The capitulation of the Imperial court lead to most other provinces assuming responsibility for their own governance and protection. The transition to local rule occurred rapidly between 484 and 490, with most provinces ceasing sending taxes on to [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] in the latter year. From 490, the authority of the Emperor in [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] covered about the eastern half of the modern [[Archduchy of Urceopolis]] and the direct areas of the [[Urce River]] valley . A second campaign waged in 492 to reestablish control failed and saw the Emperor Candidius, deposed. Provincial armies besieged Urceopolis in 492 and induced the [[Levantine Senate]] to recognize an Imperial bureaucrat named Silvanus as Emperor. Distrusted by the Urceopolitans, Silvanus recognized the total autonomy of the provinces but made serious efforts to reform the Imperial "core lands" he had direct control over in order to potentially strengthen the power of the Imperial office. Silvanus built the last aqueduct in 496 and reinforced the city walls. As a career administrator, Silvanus attempted to streamline Imperial governance and eliminated many extraneous court positions, angering prominent Urceopolitan families. He also made efforts to reform taxation and remove some privileges for those in Urceopolis in order to refill the Imperial coffers.
==== End of the Empire ====
The reforms of Silvanus significantly angered the noble families of Urceopolis, not only due to fact that the nobility were targeted but also because it was clear the Imperial court and its policy aims were becoming an anachronism. The rest of Great Levantia was now under barbarian occupation or a functionally independent province; accordingly, the Imperial court was raising funds for a project that had failed and served no purpose. Accordingly, the nobles launched a conspiracy which deposed the Emperor Silvanus on 22 May 502. Rather than replace him, however, they left the office vacant and distributed the various regalia and other court objects to the provincial governors. The nobles established a new [[Duchy of Urceopolis]] under the leadership of an elective ''Dux''. Many of the outlying cities and areas of the remaining rump Empire did not participate in this new govenrment, instead finding protection under the provincial leaders. The new Duchy was a loosely organized government intended to serve the interests of the nobility, but the competing interests of the nobility lead to an extremely weak government. By 550, the [[Urce River]] area was dotted with only loosely affiliated fortified noble estates and [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]] was largely abandoned due to continuing violence and also due to the aqueducts having been destroyed in one of the noble feuds that ensued.
 
With the vacancy of the Imperial office, it became clear to most that the Great Levantine state had come to an end, but Great Levantine identity and society continued onward. Many of the Imperial provinces continued to function nominally as provinces until the early 510s, when the governor of Pralia Maritima dropped the pretense and had himself crowned King - ''Rex''. Most of the other provinces followed suit. The leader of one province - that of Vorenia Occidens (approximately modern [[Vorenia]]) - had himself proclaimed {{wp|Augustus}} in 518 and announced his intention to reclaim [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], but following some successes he was defeated by a coalition of provincial kings and barbarian tribes and deposed, representing the last attempt to continue the classical Empire.

Following more than a century of military setbacks and establishment of barbarian kingdoms within the traditional boundaries of Great Levantia, central authority began to collapse beginning in around 480 AD. By this time, Great Levantia was mostly contained to the northern two-thirds of modern Urcea, most of Burgundie and most of Dericania. The province of Pralia Maritima - an area approximately encompassing modern Roscampus, Lower Carolina, and southern Carna - declared that it would appoint its own governors internally in the year 482, denying the right traditionally reserved only to Imperial authorities. When the Imperial appointed governor died in 484, an Imperial army tried and failed to force a new appointee there, with the Imperator suing for peace. The capitulation of the Imperial court lead to most other provinces assuming responsibility for their own governance and protection. The transition to local rule occurred rapidly between 484 and 490, with most provinces ceasing sending taxes on to Urceopolis in the latter year. From 490, the authority of the Emperor in Urceopolis covered about the eastern half of the modern Archduchy of Urceopolis and the direct areas of the Urce River valley . A second campaign waged in 492 to reestablish control failed and saw the Emperor Candidius, deposed. Provincial armies besieged Urceopolis in 492 and induced the Levantine Senate to recognize an Imperial bureaucrat named Silvanus as Emperor. Distrusted by the Urceopolitans, Silvanus recognized the total autonomy of the provinces but made serious efforts to reform the Imperial "core lands" he had direct control over in order to potentially strengthen the power of the Imperial office.
