Fyren Redwood, Secriatist of State for the Kiravian Empire, sat in a conference room in Kartika, the Empire's capital.
He was awaiting an envoy from Latislavia, a nation that the Empire had come upon and found to be honourable. An alliance had been proposed, and a meeting was to be held in order to discuss its formalities.

At that same moment, just a couple of blocks away, Marco Kilhelm, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, was sitting in his limousine, waiting to be dropped off at the Capitol Building in Kartika. He was the lame-duck MFA under the Imperial administration, which was recently overthrown. He couldn't help but think about his position in government and whether he would still be there, but Rein Wilhelms was a close friend of his and most signs pointed to him staying, possible the only member left from the former IA. He got out once he was at the Capitol. He walked inside and was immidiately directed by someone to a conference room. He saw the man sitting at the other end of the room and knew immediately it was the man he was looking for. " Good day to you sir, Fyren Redwood's the name. Good to see you," the man said. "Marco Kilhelm, and a pleasure to meet you," he said. They both shook hands. "Pretty city you have here. I wouldn't mind coming back to Kartika once its all said and done," said Marco. "Thank you," said Redwood, " well, shall we get to the buisness at hand?" "Yes, lets, " said Kilhelm. They came to the treaty. The Treaty read: "This alliance today between Kirav and Latislavia, recognizes that this international partnership shall be to benefit both nations economically and militarily. This treaty shall ne'er be broken, so as for constant Unity between these Soveriegn States." Both diplomats signed the treaty and shook hands, to the snapping of hundreds of cameras and commotion of reporters who were permitted to enter the room.
Before Sec. Redwood was overrun by the media, he said to Kilhelm, "After the press conference, we must discuss the more detailed terms of the Treaty, like on tariffs, and defencive obligatory circumstances, and such."
