Section 1 - On Free Movement
Transporters of Staol will be allowed to move freely across borders of nations.

Transport Crews may not be removed/arrested from their Transports without due cause and immediate alert to the owning state to send a swift replacement crew.

Section 2 - On Free Trade
TheUK Koi is responsible for the swift delivery of staol to nations having purchased it. No state may stop the Transports delivering said staol purchase. In the event of an emergency that results in the loss of a Transport with delivery, the UK Koi is expected to send a replacement in a timely manner after the investigation of the Transport loss.
States found to having sabotaged Transports will forfeit their rights to the purchase of staol, and may receive military action against them.
If the staol has been purchased, the delivering nation may not withhold transport unless extreme conditions are present, such as embargo, obstacle, or war, in which case the delivering nation is expected to return the money unless an alternate route becomes available.

Section 4 - Rail Transports
To ensure the safety of Rail Transports, theUK Koi will be allowed to lease property from foreign nations on thirty year periods. The tracks will be built in the Koian Standard Gauge [4 ft 8.5 in] irregardless of the gauge of the foreign nation’s railways. [Amen. 1909] With the invention of the automatic gauge transfer, transporting nations may request track access to pre-built local rails of other gauges without the need to construct a new track.
Aside from tracks, safety equipment, and reloading equipment, theUK Koi may not build other structures on the property they possess without the permission of the parent nation. At the same time, parent nations must alert the UK Koi of any plans to build on or around the tracks and wait for clearance so as to prevent accidents or miscommunications.
The lease period of thirty years will be accompanied by payment of property taxes to the host nation on their yearly tax basis. The tax is to be negotiated at each lease period and may not be changed in the middle of the lease period.

Section 5 - Passing Territory

As such, signatories of this treaty may also decide to forgo imports or quit imports if they previously have, though will still be bound by the laws of the treaty to ensure that Transports may pass through unhindered. Nations choosing not to import Staol will still get the benefits from the Transports.
