Endnote
The alliance is based around the concept of a small loyal core group of countries. That principle is underwritten in the alliance as a founding creed and cannot be stressed enough. Every country must do it’s utmost to work with and support every other country, even at personal cost. New members must be supported by all members, because without that acclamation the founding principle is lost. Organisation is our advantage, and unity is our strength.
