"...and in somewhat surprising news, a Government spokesperson today confirmed that HMI Government is indeed seeking to improve diplomatic and economic ties with Kalessin, a nation based in Arda - and that was involved in the invasion of the Empire earlier this year.

"The Government statement is brief, 'It is prudent to leave all options open, and the possibility of normalizing relations with states whom the Empire has previously been hostile towards (and recieved hostility in return) is simply one that cannot be ignored.'

"Public opinion appears to be against the Government on this matter, but a prominent Citizens House member spoke out against the population, stating that, 'The Government continues to have the best interests of the People at heart. Occasionally this is not immediately apparent, but time will tell.'

"And in sports news, Shelbattanu Rovers appear on course for yet another title, if the pundits are to be believed..."

{Unsecured Public Diplomatic Communique}

The Empire feels that previous hostilities, whilst forced upon us and resulting in the deaths of millions in the Empire, are no excuse for the current lacklustre state of affairs regarding diplomatic contact between EOTED and Kalessin. The Empire offers an immediate upgrade of trade status to Kalessin, from 'Blocked' to 'Regulated', with a view to a further upgrade in two months to MFN status.

However, the Empire will only improve Kalessin's trade status if Kalessin is willing to reciprocate the move. The Empire is also willing to offer a temporary tariff waiver to Kalessinic economic assets, with the goal of 'kick-starting' trade between our two Empires.

What says Kalessin?

My my my....one opportunistic move after another. This raises the question: with EOTED's recent apology to the Trium and now an attempt to become bedfellows with Kalessin, what is EOTED planning? Looks to me like they're trying to make as many friends as possible....
