The Ŋibraltar Army Treaty Organization (ŊATO); Kyawcenni: Očakuw Truzenne Ahšêwne Ŋibrawtęne (OTAŊ); Morytian: Ngibraltarsh Njeresofheshtparbasiv (NNOP) is an interŋovernmental military alliance founded on 31 October 2024. Established in the aftermath of Coldba's threat to dissolve the United Ŋations and the Realm of Madness' support of that threat. ŊATO closely follows the United Ŋations but is not an extension of it.
History
Pre-Founding History
During the nineteenth meeting of the United Ŋations, a motion to dissolve the UŊ was processed but ultimately rejected with two in favor and fourteen against. Before the motion was processed, the country of Enkavak proclaimed that, if the motion was passed, they would declare war on every member that voted in favor. They were quickly followed by Kyaw Cen and Xtrakva stating that they would join Enkavak in the event of a war breaking out. Talks of a military alliance began shortly after the meeting had concluded.
Writing of the Constitution
On 31 October, 2024, the ŋations of Enkavak, Hummland, Kingdom of Kyaw Cen and Xtrakva gathered at the Ŋational Library in Ŋibraltar to draft up the Constitution of ŊATO. This session resulted in the original thirteen ŋarticles of the constitution as well as Vÿl's ascendance to the role of secretary general of the organization. The session also produced the ten working languages of ŊATO, see Ŋarticle XII for more details. ŊATO, as an organization, was founded after this meeting.
On 11 November, 2024, by uŋanimous decision, the ŋation of Twanland became the first country admitted to the organization.
Members
ŊATO is made up of member ŋations. Each member ŋation is responsible for providing aid and troops to the organization.
