The Free Boer Republiks accept this envoy and wish for closer relations as well. Perhaps investment in the diamond mines may be arranged?

Austrian settlers, and several industrialists, are looking forward to developing the un-developed frontier of Afrika. Sadly, Austria-Hungary is not eager to actually start a full scale invasion but would prefer to have a home within the Orange Free State. There, Austrians can find rest and shade while not depriving natives from their land.
Would the free state of Afrika like to inquire further?

The free Boer Republiks would welcome new business into its land. You may journey to Pretoria and continue from there if you would like.

OOC: Score.
IC:
Austria-Hungary acknowledges the full independence (for now;) ) of the Free States. An embassy will be established in Praetoria and industrailists are already organizing attempts to develop the countryside for a variety of tasks:
-Mining
-Farming
-Ore Refining
-Lumber
-Shipping
-Finaces
Praised as a beacon of logic and forward thinking (not progressive thinking) the Free States are flaunted around at what European colonies can achieve.
