Well, no. As I said, it's just something I've been told. Perhaps the word "treaty" overstates the case, but it stands to reason that a nation which fully participates in the world politically and economically has available to it the means to wo

Do you have any evidence that any such treaties exist anywhere? There is the same level of detail for some portions of South Korea, including military bases.
