The Quinte nations all boycott the meeting, refusing to attend. As per the summit’s rules, no outside alcohol is allowed on the castle grounds. The meeting is declared as the Second Great Powers Summit. Seeing the recently-arisen situation in the Mediterranean, the summit opens with a section deliberating how to deal with the rise of fascist leadership in Italy and the insurrection in Catalonia. The delegates all conclude that it’s best to stand off for the time being, although still to put strict diplomatic regulations on Italy and her allies, as all of the nations present express a strong disliking for fascism. Next, the delegates move on to determining limitations on the rights and abilities of political and military alliances between national governments. The first of the limitations confirmed states that no alliance may force a member nation to declare war on any other nation- whether defensive or offensive; such a choice is fully up to the individual nation to decide. Secondly, during negotiations and other international interactions, no delegate may represent the whole of an alliance; all nations involved must be individually represented. Thirdly, it is decided that any country that takes military action against another aggressively may be held accountable for their actions and brought before a council of national delegates to justify their actions. Following the subjects on international alliances, the convention determines that all territorial disputes will be resolved between the nations directly involved unless all involved parties allow for international intervention and also that no such dispute shall be solved with military force. The agreement is formally named the Treaty of Burg Hohenzollern.
