Whittier

Today, Whittier announces that its basing treaty with Letila is almost expired.
Whittier initially dispatched 400,000 troops to Letila to combat terrorism (back in Octobor of 2003 if I remember right). The Whittier troop levels in Letila have been gradually reduced under the Whittier/Letila agreement.
Today, Whittier has just 15,000 troops left in Letila.
As part of the agreement, Letila became a member of the Whittier Pact and whittier began giving the Letilans 15 billion a year in economic aid and other assistance. With the withdrawal of the remaining 15,000 troops this aid will come to an end. Letila has been asked on their intentions of whether they will leave the alliance. Though members cannot leave the alliance without Whittier's permission, Whittier is inclined to allow Letila go its own way. (saves whittier money).
If Letila decides to leave the alliance they will be inheriting state of the art military bases that cost WHittier over 500 billion dollars to build. The bases of the latest state of the art defense equipment including the world's most advanced air defense and antimissile systems.
Letila will also be walking away with the best schools in the world after Whittier's. (whittier having poured billions into the Letilan school system.)
If Letila choses to stay in the alliance, Whittier has already proposed negotiating new basing agreements that would be more favorable to Letila.
This would include allowing Letila to station troops in Whittier and other Whittier Pact nations and more inclusion in alliance training exercises.
