Section I
1. Sovereign's Economic Treaty for Free Trade
The purpose of the FET is to establish and operate a free market economy between
sovereignties. To accomplish this there will be established markets for the trading of
currencies and investitures and a Joint Litigation Court an Arbitration Service will
operate to settle disputes between governments, entities, businesses and individuals.
The FETOrganization will use the Poliverian economic organizations as the default
model to operate all of its economic organizations and activities. Though this in no way
limits others from operating economic organizations in their own way and offering economic
services freely in different and creative ways.
The provisions of this treaty and any regulations that arise from it apply only to the
FSUTO organized economic space and to those areas of economic interaction where there are
conflicts between sovereigns.
2. Money
Any person or entity may create one's own money that may be traded with the
Monetary Trading Market, if it is acceptable to a certified broker who is willing to back
and insure the money.
Sovereigns may use any money that is backed by something of real value, is insured and is
accepted by the FSUTO-FET Monetary Trading Market. While Individuals and business entities
may use and accept any currency they want, all signatories to this Treaty agree to
recognize the FETO monetary system itself as THE form of currency accepted throughout the
FETO economy. This currency may take the form of many different monies, but they are all
backed by ekwhes. Signatories also agree that all FETO currencies are to be exchanged only
through a free enterprise system, that is to say, that all exchanges must be voluntary,
FETO currency can not be used to pay taxes or other forms of extortion or claimed by any
political state. The reason why is that all transfers are confirmed as a voluntary
exchange by both parties and signatories to this Treaty agree that no FETO currency will
be handed over to the political-state or any other criminal organization or used to trade
in stolen goods or frauds or to pay to support criminal activities of any other kind. The
financial transactions of people and entities will not be tracked or recorded without the
permission of the person or entity, the reason why no one may give FETO money to the
political-state is that all persons and entities who are members of FETO are registered,
though their transactions remain anonymous, political states and criminal entities are not
signatories to this Treaty and are not registered, therefor no transaction may go through
to them. If a registered person or entity acts a fence for a criminal entity, when that
one is found out and it has been proved that people or entities have handed over FETO
currency to criminal elements, the FETO Monetary Trading Market will cancel the serial
numbered individual monies, thereby making them worthless and the criminal entities will
not be able to use them in any economy, if the criminal entity has traded the money to
innocent persons or entities, the money held by the innocents will have it's serial number
changed, with no loss to the innocents, and in addition the person or entity who is guilty
of acting as a criminal fence will immediately have one's FETO monetary account frozen,
pending the criminal investigation and trial, and then upon conviction, all of the
convict's money will be canceled and the person or entity who has violated this treaty by
supporting criminal activities will be sued and held liable for restitution and the costs
to the FSUTO-FET or any of it's member governments, persons or entities. If the criminals
to whom the money was given are aliens, if it is possible, their assets will be seized to
pay damages.
3. Monetary Transfers
(A) The standard that will be used for conversions of different types money into
another will be the Ekwhe - one kilowatt hour of electricity.
Because the amount and value of electricity changes through time, it is only used as a
measuring stick to mark the value of one kilowatt hour of electricity at a given time in
order to facilitate the transaction between one currency to another. The transfer of
currencies will be handled by the Monetary Trading Market.
(B) (aa) Ekwhes are the
legal tender for all financial transactions, public and private in FSUTO.
(bb) All individuals and entities doing business within the
FSUTO economy must use ekwhes as a facilitator and record keeping instrument of all of
one's financial transactions within FSUTO jurisdiction.
(bb) All persons and entities doing business within the FSUTO economy must accept ekwhes
as payment.
(C) All persons and entities doing business within the FSUTO economy must use payment methods that cannot be recorded or traced by the political-state or entities that are likely to cooperate with states in taxing financial transactions or allow states or their agents to violate people's financial privacy or turn over private financial records to anyone that may exploit that information or use it to threaten or violate individual's rights.
(D) Monetary Trading Market
Currencies will be traded in the Monetary Market, there may be any number of markets
operating at one time, however there must be at least one market open at all times.
Traders may buy large sums of money at a time, they may make agreements to buy currencies
at a set future date, or they may agree to exchange or borrow currencies for a limited
period of time. Traders may speculate in the futures of a particular currency. Governments
may agree to create a monetary fund to draw from in order to stabilized currencies by the
buying up or selling of certain currencies, governments may also pool their currencies and
peg them to stronger currencies in order to strengthen them.
Only legitimate currencies issued through sovereign governments and/or backed by monetary
brokers who are certified by the Monetary Trading Market and fully insured by a FETO
certified insurance company and backed by ekwhes may be traded on the Monetary Trading
Market.
4. Banking
All banks who are members of the Monetary Trading Market will be backed by the
Treasury Committee which will provide regulations, standards certification and will
require insurance for the currencies and services that the bank offers and liability
protection, they will also examine the bank for soundness and compliance to regulations
regularly.
The creation of money is the responsibility of sovereigns, anyone who is a member of
the Treaty Organization (Individuals, corporations, civil incorporations, civil
governments or other entities) may open a central bank and begin issuing money according
to Treaty regulations. They may develop a reserve system with branch banks. Anyone owning
a Bank of any kind and certainly anyone issuing money will need to be insured by an
accredited Insurance Co.
Internal regulation of banks, lending institutions and brokerage firms are left to the
civil organization who operates them, while the interactions within the FETO will be
regulated by the Treasury Committee.
5. Insurance
Insurance services may be provided by any individual, corporation, civil
incorporation, civil government or other entities, they are solely responsible for meeting
the obligations that they assume. Those insurance firms which choose to apply for
accreditation and are accepted, will be regulated by the FETO Insurance Committee.
6. Investitures
(A) The trading of stocks, bonds, futures and other investitures will be under
the authority the Investitures Committee which will provide regulations, standards
certification and will require insurance of investitures and liability protection.
(B) Investiture Trading Market
A market may be set up to trade in stocks, bonds, securities, futures or other
investments. It should operate the same as the markets in Poliverium. The only
prohibitions are; that governments may not operate in collusion to subsidize, support or
take over any market operation. They may not collude to subsidize, direct, regulate or
control any particular investiture or control what is traded. Also; insider trading is not
allowed in any form, not by brokers using their knowledge to manipulate the markets nor by
brokers and executive officers of corporations or other employees working in collusion to
manipulate the markets.
7. Fairness in Business
(A) The Trade Committee will establish standards and codes for fair business
competition and activities in conjunction with their insurance policies which will be
identified by it's certification.
(B) Collusion
(aa) It is prohibited for civil governments or organized economies to work
in collusion to form a monopoly economy or to monopolize and industry by preventing
competitors from entering the industry and having the opportunity to compete.
(bb) It is illegal for corporations to act in collusion between civil economies to deny
other entities the opportunity to enter an industry and compete.
8. Contracts with Non-members
When a sovereign signs a contract with a person or entity who is a signatory
Associate of this treaty, though is still a citizen of a political-state, though not
working directly for the state and is not voluntarily supporting the state or anyone
else's criminal activities, or the person or entity is working for or in or with another
person or entity that is citizen of a state, the Sovereign and the citizen who has
declared one's economic sovereignty by signing this treaty, are bound by it to sever and
segregate all financial and legal enterprises, though they may continue to work
simultaneously within the same business, the profits and activities of the entities must
be segregated as separate enterprises functioning under separate laws, contracts,
obligations and using separate currencies and collecting separate profits. The non-member
persons or owners of the entity will have to agree to such an arrangement, which they
would have the incentive to do this because it will open up a formally closed economic
market in which they can profit from. Also they will be able to use FETO currency to
increase their profits and be able to trade in a market in which they can only purchase
products with FETO currency.
Non-members who agree to such an arrangement accept the responsibly of complying
with any legal obligation that they assume in their alien government, such as; licenses,
registrations, inspections of the facilities or business operations, paying fees and taxes
out of the own money or other requirements that come from their participation in their
organized economy in which other alien business contacts and consumers expect them to
perform the accepted obligations.
FSUTO Sovereigns will only be responsible for fulfilling their voluntarily accepted
obligations according to the FETO or their chosen governments or private contracts for
certifications, inspections or the manner of business operations agreed to by the
organized economy to which the Sovereign belong. The Sovereigns portion of the business,
which is partly held by non-members, will be operated in a separate legal and economic
organization, and will be open not only to all other Sovereigns, but also to all
non-member citizen's business contacts who have signed contracts to do business together,
for mutual profit.
9. Communications
Signatories concur that (A) any intentional jamming or interference with open
lines of communication is illegal, as is (B) eavesdropping on any private communication,
except with a lawful warrant issued by the governments in who's jurisdictions the
communications are taking place.
(C) (aa) That because broadcast signals are transmitted through the air using limited
bandwidths and telecommunications use broad bandwidths, which have some limitations, that
these bandwidths will be sold in the open marketplace to the highest bidder or a
telecommunications provider so chooses in the case of broadbands, on a first come, first
serve basis with a set price charged to all, which may be raised or lower according to
market pressures. And; (bb) that it is illegal for any person or entity to acquire control
of the airwaves or multi-owner lines through actions that are criminal in any of the
member sovereign government's jurisdictions or that violates the FET.
(D) That private owners of communications equipment are free to transmit or receive any
type of communiqué across any medium that they legally have access to, and that simply
the use of such privately owned equipment to communicate is not a crime unless, the
government from where the destination of the equipment or commence is located, makes it
illegal. But in no cases may another government make it illegal for a person in another
jurisdiction to simply send or receive messages.
(E) No government may claim that it is illegal to use open communications equipment that
is being used by many multiple owners at the same time. Communications which are sent
through the air or through lines are being sent through the jurisdictions of many
different governments and are using equipment owned by many different persons and
entities, for this reason, (a) if a person is a victim of a crime or a person or entity is
harmed by a liability committed through the use of open multi-owner communications
equipment, only the actual act that is considered a crime or liability is illegal; the use
of the communications lines is not illegal.
For example; if a person conspires with other on the phone to commit a crime, then the
conspiracy is illegal, not the fact that they where using the phone rather than talking in
person to discuss it. If a person uses the phone to make threat to another person, then
the crime is making threats, not using the phone rather by making the threats in person.
If a person sends e-mail to traffic in stolen property, then its the trafficking in stole
property that's illegal, not the use of e-mail rather than meeting in person to discus it.
So, it's the criminal act it's self that's illegal not the fact of people using their
voice or written or transmitted word to carry it out.
The reason for this is to prevent any government from saying that, if you use
"their" airwaves or telecommunications lines, then they can dictate which uses
are allowed and which are not, they could make certain types of speech (pornography, hate
speech, criticizing their government) illegal simply because people are transmitting it
through "their" lines. If the airwave or line were entirely theirs, then they
can dictate how they will be used and even if several governments or other entities who
had exclusive ownership of the airwaves and lines wanted to dictate how they are to be
used, then they can do it. In fact any entity may take their lines and make them
exclusively private and in doing so not transmit signal through other entities lines
throughout the world, because if they aren't going to allow freedom of communications
through their lines, then the many other owners in the world aren't going to allow enemies
of freedom to transmit through their lines. But because the airwaves and
telecommunications lines have many owners from many different jurisdictions, and that what
one government may consider to be criminal use of "their" lines is not criminal
in other jurisdictions and those very same governments, may themselves be sending or
allowing to be sent, communiqués that another government may consider illegal.
Bits of data which are in themselves electronic or quantum energy is not illegal in
itself no matter what the expression or information of the content is that is contained in
the data; so to protect the freedom of communications no one may make it illegal to
transmit certain types of data it is only illegal to perform an action against other
people's rights. All information is equal as far as governments are concerned in regards
to communications.
So, only actions committed against another person or entity are illegal and not
simply use of lines of communication in ways that some may not like, yet those same
entities are transmitting information that others may not like.
There either has to be total freedom or censorship; you can't have a little bit of both or
some kind of balance between the two, the two are mutually exclusive.
(F) Telecommunications
(A) The Communications Committee may establish a Telecommunications Agency
to regulate telephone and telegraph communications only for the reason of keeping
telecommunications open for all to use freely.
(B) To ensure this and to prevent chaos, it is necessary to establish numerical and
digital codes in telecommunications, the office may assign telephone numbers to
individuals and they may assign members to cover areas, the office should allow people to
choose their own number within their area code as long as the number they choose is not
being used by anyone else.
(C) The Telecommunications Agency may also establish digital language codes and insure
that the system for switching calls does not obstruct communications and that it allows
calls to go through to its intended destination.
The office should also investigate any claims of illegal interference or invasion of
privacy.
(G) Internet
(A) The Telecommunications Agency may also establish an Internet Office to
regulate online communications only for the purpose of preventing interference, invasion
of privacy and to negotiate differences between the various computer languages and the
software and hardware used by servers.
(B) The Internet office may assign web addresses and domains by negotiating agreements
with other organizations who are currently doing so. Persons must be allowed to choose
their own domain name, with a fee, as long as no one else is currently using that name or
has property rights to it.
(C) The Internet Office may also establish standards for computer languages and standards
for software and hardware that allow for open and efficient communications and that
protect the privacy of the users, but none of these standards are to be imposed, they are
to be negotiated between other governing entities of the Internet.
(D) All signatories to this treaty concur that the Internet is a totally free and open
communications medium and there will be no attempt whatsoever to sensor or interfere with
free communications and that all persons, entities and governments respect the right to
privacy in communications, private records, recognition of the property rights of web
sites and secure communications and financial transactions using encryption codes of any
kind, of which there will be no attempt to either deny people their right to have access
to encryption codes or their right to transport encryption codes anywhere and without
having to turn over an access key to any government or other authority except by voluntary
choice.
(E) Member entities who operate servers will allow complete freedom of all persons and
entities to use their servers and store any data on them that is not considered criminal
under the FSUTO-Inter-Governmental Treaty and they will not discriminate against any
person or group from using their server for any of the reasons listed herein, furthermore,
they agree not to restrict any content or refuse to allow any data to be stored on their
server or interfere or monitor any communications or financial transactions, that is not
criminal under the FSUTO-IGT or unless both or all parties who are communicating have
given their prior permission.
(F) Authorities governing this treaty may not operate servers.
(G) Any regulation of the Internet must be by voluntary mutual acceptance in the free
marketplace, conflicts over the computer languages to be used in communications must be
decided in the marketplace, questions of intellectual property are dealt with in the
FSUTO-IGT, problems with harassment, threats or other crimes are dealt with in the
FSUTO-IGT.
(H) No government may declare it to be illegal for someone to link to a World Wide Web
page, because this is an act of free speech, to give directions to an address, if a user
clicks the link, it is a free exchange of information between persons. If the owner of WWW
page offers this page on an open communications line, which is the Internet, rather than a
private Intranet, then the owner of the page has chosen to invite anyone to visit the
page. If the owner of the page wants to restrict access, then the owner will have to do
the restricting one's self, by limiting the number of visitors, charging visitors or
requiring a password to selectively accept visitors; but the owner of the page may not
violate other peoples right to free speech by simply giving out information or using open
lines to communicate that information.
(I) Information that is patented, trademarked or copyrighted is to be handled in the
manner described in the Article 10.
(J) So, for this reason all Treaty signatories agree that all open airwaves and
multi-owner telecommunications equipment, such as; coaxial or fiber-optic lines are to be
kept completely open without any restriction on the content of the communiqués
transmitted and received nor any punishment for simply using the medium to communicate.
(K) Transmitting a message can not be illegal unless it is directed at a private
destination or addressed to a private person or entity in a manner that is criminal or a
liability within the jurisdiction for which the message is intended.
(L)When one use one's own lines, exclusively, one may control what content is transmitted
on them, but when one uses the line that are owned by may people and entities and which
are under many jurisdictions, and one has chosen to interact in this open medium, one may
not dictate the content. If a person does not want certain content transmitted into one's
domain, then one will have use content filtering or blocking technologies or require
passwords or make access to one's domain private.
10. Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights
(A) Claims on entitlements, in the form of patents and trademarks or
copyrights to intellectual property should be submitted to any one of the civil
authorities within FSUTO-FET that offers the service of intellectual property
certification. It is not necessary to submit the same claim to other authorities, because
any one of the authorities that operate with the FSUTO-FET-IPO-PTCC: Patent, Trademark and
Copyright Certification identification, will register the claim to cover all of FSUTO-FET
and all persons and entities will be obliged to honor it.
(B) Claims on copyrighted intellectual property need not be submitted to anyone, it does
not need to carry a symbol to be protected; any original creation is automatically
protected.
The FETO Intellectual Properties Office in the Certifications Dept. will recognize
claims on intellectual property, which must all originate in the sovereign or civil
governments or other civil authority. Regulations for intellectual property must be made
by these authorities. A person or entity should file their claim in any one of these
FSUTO-FET : IPO certified authorities. The IPO is simply to recognize and reconcile the
different documents as to establish claims to intellectual property in the open free
market, to accomplish this, if there is a dispute, then it may be settled in the Joint
Litigation Court.
(C) Claims on the exclusive use of intellectual property, place an obligation on other
people not to use knowledge, therefor, they are entitlements which are dependant on
respecting the socio-economic contract. To be entitled to claims on intellectual property
and to get other people to agree not to use the knowledge of them requires that persons
and entities entering into economic associations sign a contract agreeing to respect
intellectual property. But, because patents, trademarks and copyrights are granted as a
monopoly entitlement they come with conditions, those conditions are; that the person or
entity receiving the patent, trademark or copyright monopoly must sign a contract
that defines the terms of the entitlement (FSUTO-FET) agreeing to respect the rights and
legitimate claims to intellectual property made by others, if one expects others to not
infringe on one's claim, then one must agree not to infringe on other's rightful claims,
and they must respect the rights of other people and one must not be using the
intellectual property to commit crimes, nor may one have obtained the creation or have
established the business to be trademarked through criminal acts.
If a person holding a patent, trademark or copyright commits a crime that has nothing
to do with the intellectual property, which was not used to aid in committing the crime,
then the person may not, for any reason, have one's claim infringed on or taken away.
However, if a person uses one's invention, technology, process, trademark or copyrighted
material to commit a crime with it, then that person is subject to having one's claim to
that specific intellectual property that was used in the commission of the crime, revoked
or restricted.
11. Trade
(A) (aa) All member signatories agree that there will be free trade between
sovereign jurisdictions. That no member government will impose any tax, tariff, duty, fee,
license, quota or other barrier on the trade of products conducted within the universal
free enterprise system on individual persons, businesses or other entities that deny the
ability of those persons or entities to participate in free market trade.
(bb) Very small governments or independent sovereigns may only require a tax, tariff,
duty, fee, license or quota on the trade between themselves and other jurisdictions, if
all persons who are members of that government, consensually and unanimously agree to the
barriers.
(B) Import-Export Market
A market may be set up to handle trading. Governments may not work in collusion to in
any way manipulate the legal trading of products, the natural free market must be allowed
to operate on it's own. That means that all sovereignties agree that if they trade on the
open market they will not impose any barriers to trade.
(C) The exception on the above, is, that governments may restrict through tax, tariff, duty, fee, license, quota or other barrier or a prohibition on any product, good or service, that is illegal or is controlled by law in that jurisdiction. All import-export must follow the laws and regulations of the sovereign governments.
12. The High Seas
(A) All member signatories agree not to claim sovereignty over waters on the seas
or oceans that are over 50 kilometers beyond the end of the land of a sovereign
jurisdiction.
(B) Members agree that (aa) it is illegal to in a any way restrict the free passage of any
vessel on the high seas, or to interfere in its navigation or communications, and; (bb)
all sovereigns may utilize the resources of the high seas in any way that does not cause
irreparable harm to the environment and thereby violate any of the agreements found in the
FSUTO- Environmental Treaty, or interfere with the right of other sovereigns to utilize
the same resources. (cc) [aaa] Sovereigns may fish, mine or develop other resources by
laying claim on an area by being the first to occupy the area. If a fishing boat is
working an area first, then other fishing boats must allow the first boat to fish that
area in which the nets or other capturing material may function, without the second or
other boats fouling their nets or interfering with the function of other capturing
material or scaring away the fish that are in the first boat's working area. If an entity,
who got to an area first, is mining marine resources, then all other entities must respect
the first's claim and not interfere in the ability of the first to operate. [bbb] To file
a claim, a person or entity must occupy the area and be actively engaged in either working
the area or preparing to work the area, in a way which shows that the entity is prepared
and capable of working the area and not just occupying it. A claim may either be
temporary, such as a fishing boat or long term, such as an off-shore mining rig.
[ccc] A claim on the high seas may extend indefinitely downward to the sea floor and into
the crust of the Earth, covering an area in which the borders are the area above the sea
floor in which the entity is occupying.
(dd) Sovereigns who own floating islands or other structures of any size have full
sovereign rights to their own property and that includes a non-sovereign claim on the area
of the sea surrounding the floating island that the sovereign occupies and controls
permanently. The only restrictions on floating islands, are; that they can not cover an
area so large that they affect the flow of tides or weather patterns, such as the amount
of rain that falls on other areas; nor may they block passages through straight, canals,
harbors or between islands, unless the owners of both points of land agree to it and the
land owner's jurisdiction extends at least 50 km out and the floating island is therefor
within their jurisdiction.
13. Airspace
(A) Sovereigns may claim an airspace of 1 kilometer straight up from the edge
of their boundaries. They may completely restrict any air traffic within that airspace.
Sovereigns may claim additional airspace to restrict any aircraft which is too large to be
flying below an altitude in which the aircraft produces loud noise or poses a threat to
people on the ground.
(B) Signatories agree not to restrict air travel above their designated airspace. Member
governments may require reasonable inspections (that are paid for by the requesting
government and doesn't hamper the business or cause it to lose profits) of any aircraft
flying over their airspace, to any altitude that goes through the Earth's atmosphere, but
does not extend to orbital altitude.

mail that a sovereign or civil government allows to travel through one's jurisdiction will
allowed to pass through without it's privacy being violated and that no mail delivery
employee or anyone other than the sender and receiver may open their piece of mail.
(B) The only exception, would be that a piece of mail may be intercepted and searched only
with a lawful search warrant. Otherwise, no piece of mail will be intercepted and searched
on mere suspicion.
IV. FETO Agency
FETO Superviser
The person who is the chief executive overseeing the operations and management of
FETO, the FETO Superviser is appointed by the FETO Board of Directers and will serve for a
period of time to be decided by a vote of the board of Directers.
FETO Board of Directers
They will be the governing body in which rests the power to manage, operate and
regulate FETO and its member entities. The Board of Directers will be composed of two
boards, they are;
Executive Directers
Will be elected by the shareholders who hold shares of stock in FETO itself. The
voting will be by one vote for each share. Holding a share does not entitle one to vote on
any other issues within the organization nor does it allow the shareholder to be involved
in any management or operations of FETO. However the Board of Directers may, themselves,
vote to allow shareholders to vote on certain issues that may be put before them.
The only other things that the shareholders vote on is to set the number of Executive
Directers on the Board and the term for which they will serve. The Board of Directers may
not take away the shareholders right to set the number of Directers or their tenure.
However once a person has been elected as an Executive Directer, that person may serve for
at least one year and if the shareholders vote to cut back on the number of Directers, the
cutbacks cannot remove an elected Directer for at least one year after that person was
elected a Directer.
Representative Directers
These Directers are appointed by all of the individual governments that belong to
FETO. Each government will appoint one representative to the board. A government may
appoint its representative for any length of time or remove that person at any time, for
any reason. However, the shareholders in FETO may vote (1 vote per share) to set the
number of Representative Directers on the Board and the term for which they will serve,
but may not vote on which representatives themselves will be on the board and which will
not, the governments that have the largest populations have the first right to appoint
their Representatives to the Board.
The voting will be, one vote for each Representative from each sovereign entity. No
sovereignties are entitled to vote on any other issues or be involved in the management or
operations of FETO except through their representatives. Though the Board of Directors may
vote to allow sovereigns to vote on certain issues or be involved in directly operating
the organization.
Both boards will meet and work together as one single board, with each Directer being
equal and having one vote. Though the boards may meet separately and conduct business and
operate committees on their own, they may only do so if both boards vote to allow the
boards to operate separately.
Impeachment
Only the Board of Directers may impeach another Directer or the supervisor. They may
do this by conducting an investigation and holding a hearing among themselves to determine
whether or not a suspect has violated any of the codes of FSUTO. Violating certain codes
demand immediate expulsion, plus, may involve a Litigation suit. Of course, suspicions of
crimes should be turned over to the IGT's joint police.
Committees - Managers, head each committee and
are to be chosen by being nominated by the Superviser and confirmed by a
majority vote of the FETO Council.
