 ===Article 5===
 No state shall under any condition prevent the transit of a AN representative through his or her territory as long as that representative is traveling in his official role as AN Ambassador and directly between the AN complex and the nation he represents.  Interference will result at a minimum a fine (magnitude to be determined by a vote or by the two involved nations) paid to the representative's nation.
