Rodica looks up from the conversation she was having and stands. "Thank you. Moderal simply wishes to regain its feet after the traitorous islands abandoned us in our time of need. We simply are going to expand our borders south and reclaim our lands. We do not wish for conflict. We simply want to regain the borders our nation once had." "Yes... about those claims. The Imperium Divinium would be willing to recognize your claim on the islands above N15 in the Eastern Ocean. The islands below it are far too valuable to the Divinian Offshore Company for us to give away freely. Of course, if you were to join The DOC, your nation could certainly claim custodianship of the islands." After a pause she continued on quickly
"Oh and also with your recognition of myself as High Queen of Gankands."
Hearing the words 'High Queen of the Gankands', alarms went off as the colonial garrison had been reduced to only a fourth of its regular strength in order to dispatch such a large force to secure Tanysira from other invading forces. With a lot of the Trade Seas Fleet also being dispatched there, Hweituzdas was now vulnerable to an attack! 'My dear lady,' spoke Hebithdräkh Drake. 'I must object to such an aggressive title. As you are well aware, you do not own all of the Gankands and some of our subjects live there. Should you be after such a title, I would ask certain assurances be made with regards to our territorial claims and integrity.'

Catherine stood silently for a moment before bursting out in laughter. "Fear not, my dear Sadalenese neighbors! I no longer consider your conquered territory as part of the Gankands proper. Why would I attempt to deprive you of your hard won territory? Especially when you've done such an exceptional job of administering the region and protecting the interests of my priestesses? No, I merely want to claim those territories left stateless by the lack of a regent in the area. Thus, I think 'High Queen of Gankands' is a fitting title, do you not?"

Having landed in St. Helena, the Grand Maren representatives had disembarked the High Mountain and headed towards the meeting place with the official and the guard accompanying them. The Grand Maren soldiers also sported upgrades to their armor, including shin guards over their boots, gauntlets, and pauldrons. As for their helmet, their Pickelhaube helmets featured a faceplate divided into three sections that looked like they could almost be curled up like an armadillo shell, with the middle section featuring two circular cutouts filled with glass to allow the wearer to see. Many soldiers, aside from just having a Krag-Jørgenson rifle, also carried a sword on their hilt, many of which were sabers. None of them appeared to be the same, as each was crafted by the soldier wearing it to their own preference.
Lady Iris, like last time, was wearing a military uniform, also with the upgrades given to the common soldier, but she had twin falcions at her side and she was carrying a small box in her hands, a gift for the hosts. Lords Walter and Sebastian were in tow, but weren't carrying a box. Lord Walter had a rapier and a dagger, while Lord Sebastian had a saber and a pistol instead of a secondary blade.
Having gotten to the room where the Accords would be held, Lady Iris and the Lords sat down at a table a bit away from those from Sadalen, but before the tall lady had arrived. Once they had sat down, Lady Iris had set the ornate box on the table and unbuckled the faceplate pieces and set them down on the table too. Both Lords simply took off the lowest segment, revealing their mouths but not the rest of their faces, and watched as Sadalen was already making moves on Tanysira's representatives.

We will need to discuss this matter further in more detail, but we withdraw our objection for the moment.'

After the conversation had died down. Rodica spoke once again, "I have no quarrel about the Ganklands, in fact I feel that you would be the best choice to take over the land. We could consider joining the offshore company, although we wont be giving up the islands."

The president of Tanasara started getting super bored so she decided to stir little some thing up.
"Awww, who brought in their child! Oh, my mistake. That is what passes for an empress in these parts. So, Empress Catherine, is your temper as short as you and your reign? If your stature is anything to go by, the bar for greatness is set especially low in this country."
"Then again, your work keeping the seas civilised and peaceful has already proven how 'great' and 'powerful' your 'Imperium' truly is and your reign. Truly, such a powerful nation as yours would be able to deal with a few puny pirates and protect my chocolate shipments? Surely, you would be able to stop a few northern barbarians. Ah, but what am I saying, you are one of the pig-skinned northern barbarians, and your stature just proves it."

After glancing to his fellow mayors the Lord mayor spoke under his breath "I've got a bad feeling about this"

Hearing that rant, Hebithdräkh Drake could only turn to his compatriots and say in a monotone and even drone 'I feel the diplomatic process is beginning to break down.', before he returned to observing the proceedings with extreme amounts of anticipation.

We could consider joining the offshore company, although we wont be giving up the islands." The Empress’ face darkened at the reply. Brow furrowed she responded, her voice sharp and punctuated off the vaulted ceilings “So I am to understand that you would forgo the peaceful acquisition of all that territory simply for the loss of two islands? Islands that need I remind you,, would have been given over to your custodianship anyhow? I can assure you we will not sit idly by as you wrest control of the entire Eastern Ocean. Anyone here who allows one nation total domination over that region is a fool.”

Lady Iris and her companions were bewildered at the statement and the audacity of the president. Lady Iris had to put her hand over her mouth to keep it shut, but her eyes were still pretty open. Lord Walter had a fist over his mouth, and Lord Sebastian quickly said a 'yikes' under his breath.

'We are the most Serene and Prosperous Republic of Tanysira, the originators of culture, of wealth, and of the only bastion of civilisation left in this world judging by the lack of proper response and proper importance placed upon the pirates raiding our people. This utter dereliction of duty is a disgrace!'

This utter dereliction of duty is a disgrace!' In complete shock at what was just said, in unison the mayors of sheen all banged on the table, got up and said sternly:"EXCUUUUUUUUSE ME PRESIDENT? WEALTH! You are but just some collection of sand people tribes that think that chocolate is true wealth! "

Although I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, I would have to contest your claim of being the 'originators of culture' as you have so eloquently demonstrated a lack of it."

The delegation from the PRR was somewhat delayed in its arrival. The regime in Nordstad had used far too long discussing if they should open any formal talk with the imperialists and the capitalist but Ivan Koldan had deemed the meeting too important to pass up and had overruled the wishes of the Supreme Soviet and sent a representation to the meting. The Rodian revolution was over but several states was still in open rebellion and the Red Army was working on uniting Rodina under the banner of the people. At least that is how the regime in Nordstad did see it. So formal talks with other states would make the other nations view the People's Republic as the true Rodina, and as a partner on the world stage, not a threat.
Fedir Egorov had prior to the revolution not aspired to much in life, he was a son of a pig farmer. Hus father had always told him about how people made their own destiny and had spent much money on tryign to help educate his son make something out of him. With education had all he'd accomplish been to make living by languages to aristocrats of the time. He had ended up being swiped up in the revolution and done his part for the cause. With his proven loyalty and master of several languages made him the most logical person to send to the accords to represent the PRR.
He arrived late, and he had forgotten the time differences at arrival and had used too much time in his cabin with one of his... assistant... and he had forgotten time. Quickly dressing in his simple black suit with a decorative red star pin did he not look very impressive compared to splendor of many present, but he looked like a man of the revolution and man of the people, and that was what he was. He did not make much show as he entered the meeting and simply stated:
"Many apologies for my delay, something came up. I am Diplomat Fedir Egorov, I am here on behalf on the People's Republic of Rodina..."
He did not wait for much response before finding and empty seat and sat down. The son of a pig farmer was now going beyond what his father ever had expected was possible, and had he still been alive would he have been proud.
