This type of issues should be able to be solved with a negotiation represented by Diplomacy and Law (International) contests, either to change the treaty or to create a new one and repeal the previous one. It is necessary to mention that the corporation, counting on the support of the United States, is able to deploy armed forces equivalent to those of the United Kingdom by itself, with a military budget of about thirty-two billion dollars and high-tech equipment.
