“Pace Vinitsia”

Doge Augusto Tyre to Prince Vinicio and Princess Clarissa

 

- All my honors your Highnesses, before beginning, I want to deeply thanks you for your coming.

*While continuing to walk to conduct them to the Salone Cadre, the Doge continue to address to its Highnesses, and make sign to the Vice Doge for Finance to go*

Indeed your Highness, we are only wishing to be part of the Economical Part of the League of Monarch, to gain the status of Associated Member for the Article 3 of your honorable Treaty. After your Highnesses.

*Two guards open the doors, and let the Doge and its guests alone in the Salone Cadre*

As you may know, we had a bad experience with the UCA more recently, I ordered the suspension of our participation, but still, we joined too quickly this international organization where we put all hope in, and you may understand that the public wouldn't appreciate that directly after that failure we try again. Also we consider United Moreland as a close friend, but we do not wish to involve your honorable League of Monarch deeply into the Japao Crisis, and we naturally wish to keep independence on some subjects.

Oh damn ! After your long trip, I shall offer you a drink, we do very ripe juice *The Doge made a great smile while saying that, as wine is a speciality*, let me know your wishes. Sorry for being so uncivilized. Do your Highnesses made a nice trip ? I hope the welcome was good, as we don't get used to welcome foreign High Dignitaries, I am hoping that there was no mistakes to the étiquette. I'll not allow your Highness to talk me further about negotiations until I got the answer !

- Well, here we have a small Côte Rôtie, very deep red wine, or a more white lighter Corton, I can ask to go to the cellar, there is much more choice. And your Highness, no drink ?

Your Highness, for coming back to affairs, I have plenty of representatives from the 50G, which is the leading group of our stock exchange, followed by some economical experts into the conference room, my simple question is that, would we need them ? As I know that your official visit is for having guarantees from our economy, and we are stable, even with the sanctions applies with your very south neighbors. I just hope that neighbors wouldn't be part of the equation.

- Let's start quietly. We already have many Trade Treaties with Nations all around the world, including the Kingdom of United Moreland, which is one of the founder state of the League. Also, it seems you are concern about Private Sector, maybe because it is private, but may I remember you that you are Monarchies, which also include that a great part of the power is under “private hands” ? The Merchant Republic is a highly democratic Nation, and I personally deny all implications of private sectors in foreign policy. 50G is just like.. A metric.. About how the economy is.

Secondly, be sure we consider sanctions as a great step, and we don't do them whenever we want like some states did.. If sanctions were imposed on the Khanate, it was for good reasons, the massacre of their population, its high tyrannical rules, its insults over the Merchant Republic and its allies, direct threats of one of our ally, deployment of submarines near a close ally, and finally, refusing to move forward during negotiations while we did concessions in order to peace. Sanctions are heavy, sanctions are costly, but we will not abandon them, we will crush Vatican foreign trade, today or tomorrow !

- We would naturally apply this condition, as it is a part of this Treaty, Article 3, which is the one we want to be associated with. Discussing like said, in order to naturally clean your hesitations.

Be sure that our loyalty go to what we signed. Just a clarification, do you consider also embargo as sanctions ?

- Your Honor, if the Merchant Republic, after 2 milleniums is still alive, it was by ensuring its independence. Our last experience with the Maddoman Empire in these terms.. Were humiliating.

Plus, this would potentially mean concerning your Intelligence Institute, cooperation, and we both know that Vinitsians aren't fond to share potentials sensitives economical and banking informations with strangers, that is why many Corporations trust us, because we are independent, and we can say no, just like we recently did with the Free Land of Darze.

But I need to say that I am attracted to your treaty concerning Education and Culture, but it would mean that we would lose our independence concerning Space operations, which aren't that great I assume, but at least we don't depend on any Nations for that. Also you need to know that we are 8 millions people in Vinitsia, whose 3 millions residents, Traditionalists Party already gain support due to the Cultural Exchange Treaty, so I will not give them another shot. You need to understand our Interior policies your Highness, I put down a Trade Treaty, it pass like a letter to the post office, talk them about security and exposing our arts to other Nations for cooperation, they are concerns.
