Military Alliance Against Malatia - NARTO is formed.

As the threat of regional war increases, the Kingdoms of Lego, Equanter, Fabu and Caledon have formed a military alliance to counter the Malatian military power. 

The Non-Aggression Royalists Treaty Organisation (NARTO) is based in the Kingdom of Lego, and Article 1 of the NARTO Charter states an attack on a member country is an attack on all members of the organisation.

The Prime Ministers of the three kingdoms had met in Legotown, the capital city of the Kingdom of Lego, to officially launch NARTO. Equanter, which is facing the threat of a military invasion from Malatia, welcomed the formation of NARTO.

"While the Armed Forces of Equanter is capable to defend our kingdom, NARTO will be a deterrence factor against Malatian aggression as other kingdoms will assist us to face off the Malatians," said the Equanterian Prime Minister.

Immediately after the signing of the NARTO Agreement, the NARTO HQ announced that 5,000 Kingdom of Lego troops will be deployed inside Equanter. Another 5,000 troops from the Kingdom of Fabu have been put on standby to be deployed inside Equanter within the next four weeks.

NARTO has also called for the complete withdrawal of Malatian forces from the Kingdom of Suva, which was invaded and is currently occupied by Malatian forces.

Malatia condemned the formation of NARTO, calling it a naked aggression against the country. "We have formed our own military alliance with the People's Republic of Suva. The War Pact which we have signed with Suva will ensure the territorial integrity and security of all Malatians in the region," said a Malatian Foreign Ministry spokesman.

Analysts dismissed the War Pact forces as a regional organisation. "The 1,200 Suvanese nationalist troops is small compared to the 600,000 to 800,000 Malatian troops. In fact half of the Suvanese troops are actually Malatian agents, as many Suvanese refuse to cooperate with the occupier, " said a security analyst.
