Add a new Dynastic rule to the ruleset. Call it “Treaties [Universal]” and give it the following text:
Rules with [Universal] in their name are Universal. All non-Universal Dynastic rules are Treaties.
Each Treaty has a list of Emperors as Signatories, tracked as a list of Emperor names at the end of the rule; this list is automatically appended when the Treaty is created, replacing any such list in the Treaty’s initial text. Treaties only bind their Signatories; an Emperor who is not a Signatory to a Treaty is not required to follow its provisions, and generally cannot take actions defined by that Treaty unless it explicitly states otherwise.
When a Proposal creates or modifies a Treaty, every Emperor that voted FOR it becomes a Signatory to that Treaty; for this purpose, a DEFERENTIAL vote is never a FOR vote. Signatories to a subrule become Signatories to the parent rule. The Player is considered to be a Signatory to every Treaty.
The Player should veto any proposal that would make an Emperor a Signatory to a Treaty against his will, or that would convert a Treaty into a Universal rule without the assent of all non-Signatory Emperors. Moreover, a Proposal that creates or modifies a Universal rule is not Popular while it has any AGAINST votes.
