Midonić Agreement

The Midonić Agreement was a formal treaty litigated between The Estran Empire, Heilegeterra, and The Latherian Empire starting in 506. The treaty was ratified by all three nations in 508, and is heralded as the formalizing document of the Coalition.

History
The agreement as a way for Heilegeterra and Latheria to manage a territorial dispute without League interference, as they sensed the League was attempting to interfere with their relations. The treaty itself is named for Gustav Midonić, the leading Latherian diplomat and architect of many of the agreements provisions. The agreement started as a negotiation between Heilegeterra and Latheria primarily, Estra was included to counterbalance Latheria's quantitative superiority to Heilegeterra in military and territorial terms. While Estra initially was not to be a signatory, as the treaty transitioned from a border agreement to a defense pact, the Estrans sought a greater role outside of merely guaranteeing their ally, Heilegeterra, during the proceedings.

It should also be noted that Tame Dogia was included in the treaty, given its status as a Heilegeterran protectorate and ally.

Provisions
The Midonić Agreement set several key provisions in two major sections. The first specifically dealt with Latherian and Heilegeterran border disputes and stipulated the following: The other section, which dealt with interstate cooperation going forward stipulated the following:
 * Both parties would concede claims on sovereign territory of the other.
 * Heilegeterra would cede several worlds along its Latherian border.
 * Border worlds would be administrated jointly to ensure investment into maintaining the current border and foster a sense of cooperation
 * Latheria would concede certain powers of the Lavonian Church within its borders and end official persecution of Holistic Church minorities as a matter of state.
 * All signatories would honor a mutual defense agreement and would practice military cooperation
 * The world of Walküre would be set aside as an area to hold councils negotiating the goals and cooperation of the new 'coalition'

Impact and Expansion
The Midonić Agreement would be the first major interstate treaty outside of the League. Ultimately the precedent it set would end the League in the Secession Wars.

While the agreement itself was only signed by 3 states initially, it would expand later to include all of the Coalition. Signatories benefited from advantageous trade agreements signed concurrently, incentivising cooperation with the agreement.
