President James Madison smiled as he made the announcement he had been planning for some time;

"Brothers and Sisters of the Austar Union, children of the European Continent. For too long, we have remained divided, squabbling over the small, unimportant matters. We have also for too long, ignored our position in the globe, ignoring the advantages which a mutual pact would help us, especially for the fact that we are regional neighbours.

Therefore, I invite all European nations, to join with us, the Austar Union in establishing the European State Alliance. With this alliance friends, we can only minimize our disadvantages, and maximize on our advantages. Please find contained within this transmission a document outlining the information on the alliance. Thankyou."
