Editing Treaty of Algeron (section)

==Article 15==
The boundaries of The United Federation of Planets in respect to the Romulan Star Empire shall be determined as follows: 

===Section 1===
The United Federation of Planets shall not undertake and colonization of any sector of space already under the sway of the Romulan Star Empire. The mutual border between the United Federation of Planets and the Romulan star Empire shall remain no less than 15 Light-years separated, and thereby maintaining the demilitarized buffer zone between them, designated herein as the Neutral Zone. No colony of the United Federation of Planets shall be established within this mutual zone of demilitarization, thus leading only to parallel expansion of the borders separating the Romulan Star Empire and the United Federation of Planets. 
===Section 2===
The creation of new colonies by the United Federation of Planets shall be duly declared to the government of the Romulan Star Empire through normal diplomatic channels.  Such new colonies shall not cohabitate within a star system previously claimed and filed through diplomatic channels by the Romulan Star Empire. 
===Section 3===
The border shall not be solely defined by the colonization of planetary systems, but may include systems without planetary bodies. However all such claims on said solar systems or solar bodies must be duly filed with the Romulan Star Empire and shall not be contested previously. 
===Section 4===
No outposts or artificial facilities shall be placed within the Neutral Zone by either party. 
===Section 5===
Any creation of a new colony by either party, along the axis of the defined Neutral Zone shall automatically extend the Neutral Zone, in accordance to the provisions outlined within this treaty.
