City-States: Mediterranea (International Incidents)
This will be the forum designated for all of the CSM in-character activities, at least until we come to a consesus on the offsite forum idea.

Your Holiness,
On behalf of the Kingdom of Naples and the House of Calvacanti, I would be overjoyed to sign this five-year non-aggression pact. I cordially thank Your Holiness for this most agreeable offer.
Yours In Faith,
King Ferdinand II, House of Calvacanti, By the Grace of God, King of Naples
Florence would be delighted to sign this five-year pact with Rome as our kingdom feels it would be beneficial to the progression of the Renaissance and the stablity of Italy. As such, the Kingdom of Florence would like to propose an alliance between Florence and Genoa, Bologna, Rome, and Naples. This alliance, the Tyrrhenian Coastal Alliance (TCA), would be beneficial to each nation included as it would bring together the powers on Italy's Tyrrhenian Coast together and create a better trading system and give each city-state a higher surplus from trading. All nations along the coast would also be guaranteed better protection as nations would vow to protect each other in case of attack unless the attack is justified.
Remember, it is for the better of Italy and for the progression of the Renaissance.

The Kingdom of Naples would be very interested in entering into the Tyrhennian Coastal Alliance with other like-minded, nearby, Italian states, for the good of Napoli and all Italia. Furthermore, I would like to cement a relationship with Florence and King Medici, by offering up my daughter, Dominique Calvacanti to a member of the Medici family. My daughter is currently seventeen years of age and ripe for marriage. She is a petite brown-eyed brunette, often considered the jewel of the court at Napoli.
Yours Faithfully,
Ferdinand II,
House of Calvacanti, By the Grace of God,
King of Naples
[OOC: My bad, i thought someone else had created this thread and not you, it's like real late and i'm up doing homework :headbang:]
I accept your offer of bringing Dominique into the Medici Family by marrying her to our very own, future King of Florence, Giuliano de' Medici. At age 27, the two would make a great couple that will in the future come to lead Florence. The Medici Family is excited for the marriage and also for the relationship that will blossom between our two kingdoms.
Also, I am delighted that you are interested in the TCA, and hope others are like-minded in seeing that the TCA will only bring prosperity to Italia.

Your Holiness,
On behalf of the Kingdom of Bologna, we have decided to sign the 5-year Non-Agression Pact. We thank you.
Yours In Faith,
King Giovanni II, By Grace of God
