# `WS` Military

## War secrets:

> [Apologia] NB: this section's naming is deliberate. Only war related information may be made secret.

All information deemed to be a war secret shall accompanying justification and shall clearly state under what conditions it shall no longer be in need of secrecy.

No information shall be deemed classified upon a condition of the passing of time (e.g.: "99 years must pass" is invalid). Temporal conditions upon war secrets shall be null and void. Every condition shall clearly state a constraint which points to a specific, measurable, trackable reason for secrecy.

There shall be a review on the last day of each 3rd month of all war secrets by the Defense branch and the Judiciary in a process open to public attendance (with seats sold on the `Externality Auction`), where each current war secret's secrecy conditions (but not the content of the secret) will be read openly. Should a particular item's conditions for secrecy no longer apply, it shall be made public through the Informative branch within 72 hours.

If a conagent is found guilty of leaking secret information, its owner (or it itself, if it is an indepagent) shall become an outlaw after 3 hours.

## Reasons for war

War shall be waged solely for self preservation, the preservation of property and the preservation of allied parties only to the extent that is instrumental and vitally strategically necessary for the private property security of Utopia itself, and no further. Wars of outrage over immoral actions taken by other polities shall not be the concern of Utopia.

Notwithstanding, in the case of a person in a foreign polity pledging his land to be under the jurisdiction of Utopia and Utopia having purchased that land from that foreign polity's government: if it is reasonably defensible and that person's private property rights are infringed by a belligerent, Utopia shall have authorization to wage war on that person's behalf. It follows that Utopia shall not accept oaths of fealty to its jurisdiction from persons whose land is indefensible with Utopia's military capabilities in the present and for a reasonably foreseeable future.

All pledges of fealty shall have an accompanying diligent estimation of the cost and feasibility of protection which shall be made fully known to the person undertaking the pledge.
