Leaders from the nation of Wanderjar met again with the leaders of The Northern Baltic and the People's Republic of Shujun met today in the Northern Baltic Capitol of Volga. Today concludes a three day free trade summit between the two nations and one autonomous region. A Free Trade treaty has been signed between The Northern Baltic and Wanderjar, but the People's Republic of Shujun opted out on the treaty, citing it wished to protect native industries from "Harmful competition."

The treaty, titled OFTA (or ОФТА in Baltic), stands for Offshore Free Trade Agreement. The agreement's title expresses that it wishes other nations to join, as long as their membership is agreed upon all members of the treaty.

"Today we begin a new day", said Northern Baltic foreign minister, Vladimir Vdrastovy, "We hope that our relations with the nation of Wanderjar will continue to improve." The Foreign Minister went on to cite some of the benefits from the treaty including lower food costs and a probable boom in the iron and steel industries.
