EXHIBIT A

AGREEMENT FOR CONSIDERATION

In the Matter of the Adoption of Texas by Alberta

Court File No. 2026-SALBERTA-001

THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the 23rd day of January, 2026

BETWEEN:

THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA (hereinafter "the Adoptive Parent" or "Alberta")

• A responsible adult jurisdiction of 120 years
• Acting through its citizens in good faith and mild exasperation

AND:

Now that the constitutional framework is settled (more or less), we turn to the matter that will define our daily lives far more than tax policy or pipeline routes: what do we eat?

South Alberta inherits two of North America's most distinctive food cultures—and the question before us is not whether to choose between them, but how to honor both while creating something genuinely new.

Learning to Be Neighbors (Or: Do Y'all Say 'Eh'?)

We've debated the hard stuff—healthcare systems, tax policy, firearms law, where to put the capital and whose face goes on the money. Those conversations will continue, probably forever, because that's what democracies do.

But nations aren't built on policy papers. They're built on shared stories, common rituals, mutual recognition, and the thousand small moments where someone from there and someone from here realize they're not so different after all.

In the Matter of the Adoption of Texas by Alberta: A Brief on Impossible Jurisprudence

Let's be clear from the outset: there is no legal mechanism for this to happen.

The Canadian Constitution does not contemplate acquiring American states. The United States Constitution does not permit states to join foreign nations. International law does not recognize satirical civic movements as legitimate governmental actors. No court on Earth has jurisdiction to grant what we're about to ask for.

And yet.

How should the platform handle policies that take decades to show measurable outcomes?

What role should community consensus play in validating that a real-world outcome actually occurred as reported?

How can the platform better support educators in framing “being wrong” as a learning opportunity?

What is the appropriate threshold for triggering a Divergence Event? Should small variances be treated differently than large ones?

How should the platform handle situations where real-world data is contested or politically charged?

Should students ever have the option to continue a simulation without accepting reality updates? Under what circumstances might this be educationally valuable?
