Knocking on the Supreme Chancellor's door, Drathius Markanas slowly opened it when he heard a voice inside calling "Enter!"

"Ah, Drathius," D'Annunzio said, "perfect. I have a job for you."

The young man, an advisor for the chancellor had only been serving for a few years, but he had earned great respect for his views. He was considered as a worthy replacement for Trizdam Pullserva, who had entered early retirement after the passing of Tres Valentine. However, he was still new to the chancellery, but as it was, Drathius had held his ground on several very formal affairs, from receiving boisterous Zeelaris, to more higher-class Porcuian delegations. His respect within the chancellery and his relative sophistic talent had finally landed something from the chancellor himself.

"I would like you to receive a Welsh delegation in Srolonka," Emmanuelle explained. "They may perhaps become a strategic ally, and with things as they are..."

"I understand Kanton Stars is already in Europe?" Drathius said, incidentally cutting off the chancellor. "He is many years my senior, and the top ambassador to Europe at the moment."

Emmanuelle smiled. He and Drathius had become instant friends upon his hiring. Pullserva had personally selected him in his final days in the chancellery, suggesting that he would work well with the rest of the five-year-transition team that had aided the green chancellor. Their friendship was, of course, all that allowed for such an interruption to occur.

"Stars is staying in Porcu. He is still needed there in case the continent catches on fire again. Our allies seem to have love-hate relationships with the French, and our own interests are still being developed. While we can both see the usefulness of Wales as an ally, I expect that they too will be dipping their toes and getting a feel for the waters before they take any sort of plunge into an alliance with us," the chancellor explained.

Drathius nodded. "I understand. I will not disappoint you nor the chancellery in my conduct."

Zaragoza. Srolonka

Drathius arrived in Zaragoza with his orders. A formal invitation had already been dispatched to the Welsh in preparation, and given the rigors of globalism, some response would be due.

OOC: Atticus, you can RP an arrival in any fashion you wish to.

...

And I'm not going to pretend to be inventive with topic titles :rolleyes:

OOC: Sorry this took so long.

IC: The Welsh jet landed at the Zaragoza airport with relative ease. Owain Glyndŵr, President of Wales, stepped out of the plane onto the asphalt where a limo was waiting for them. With him was Megan Conway, Secretary of State. The limo left the airport and made its way to the meeting place. Safe in the privacy in the limo, the two were able to freely converse in their native tongues.

"Gei unrhyw ddrychfeddwl paham alwan hon yn cwrdd?"

"Na, alla ond bwra 'n hwy chymhellion But paham ni? Beth elwen? Arogla llygoden fawr , fel arhosa 'n awchlym , a cadw 'ch chreuau agor."

With that, the two were silent as the limo finished its journey. Soon enough, the they arrived at the destination. Outside the limo, a man in a suit awaited them....

Drathius Markanas stood at the end of a small, fenced off row that led to the entrance of the regional chancellery. The complex occupied a bit of real estate that had a commanding view of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar.

Glyndŵr departed from the limousine, and shook hands with an eager looking Drathius. The two men stood for a moment as members of the press took several pictures of the handshake, but they were escorted inside before journalists were able to ask any questions.

Inside, there was immediately a space for them to sit with a small table put between them. On the one side sat the Governor of Srolonka, William Estharus. Drathius sat down beside Estharus, with Glyndŵr sitting across the table.

"President Glyndŵr, I hope your trip was peaceful," Estharus said.

OOC: It's fine. I'll let you make an actual opening statement when you're ready.

"Ah, it was excellent. If I must say, your country is beautiful.

But now, lets cut to the chase, what did you being me here for? If its trade right, then so it be, my country is open to any country who wishes to trade."

With the press gone and the three men alone, Markanus spoke. "I would like to think we can progress a little further than trade, Mr. President. Trade is one thing, but a deeper relationship with Wales is something we would like to establish.

"Of course, a preferential trade agreement through the Dissith Company can be drawn up in no time. It would give Wales greater tariff-free access to several stable consumer economies, and in turn would give us greater access to Western and Northern Europe.

"However, we do have priorities as well. We both know that many countries of old have crumbled, and many more recent powers have been rattling their sabers. The Dominion's fall has not reestablished trust, so many of these states may be more than willing to lash out if they feel threatened. A military agreement could benefit us, even if it was not a mutual defense agreement. However, we both know that when there is a threat, friends are great to have."

Estharus stayed silent. He knew all too well how useful it is to have friends. He had been propelled overnight to being in charge of Ulgania once, albeit through backstabbing and betrayals that were out of his control. It was his own actions that had restored order, and for it he was still in power in Srolonka. However being the leader of the colony, Markanus was the direct representative of the Supreme Chancellor. Aside from D'Annunzio himself, Markanus had the most political authority of any Ulganian in this meeting.

"There it goes again. The Dominion. There's only so much we know about it. As for the mutual defense agreement, we have no problem with it, but we have seen no aggression lately from countries. Do you know of any?"

"All that is necessary to know for now is that it was able to strike out with great unification, and chipped away at the free lands of the world," Arlington said. "The Scottish, the DCA, have they not been recent antagonists?"

"He is right," Markanus said. "Mr. President, there will always be those who wish to look down on us. While I do envision a free world, I do also envision one where friends can depend on one-another."

OOC: What's the DCA?

IC: "Very well, in light of recent events, a military agreement would be most beneficial."

"I assume you have heard that King James of Scotland passed away. It seems that they have a successor already."

"A state of affairs such as that gives all the more reason for pause. In as far as a military alliance, we will protect your African holdings, while we may expect reciprocity for Srolonka."

"All of this, between trade and a defense agreement can be rather fickle, Mr. President, but I would like to hope that a proper relationship can be deepened in due course. Tax free trade with the Dissith Company may yield Wales enough profit to make many of your people very wealthy, and with Britannic markets opened, we can see everyone being happy."

OOC: Is there anything else?

And the DCA is run by Kas. It's a post-Dominion state in Africa, and it's a bit of an Ulganian antagonist. Anti-colonialism, pro-local ethnicity, etc...

OOC- Democratic Confederacy of Africa. Sort of a backronym though since DCA, during the war, stood for the Dominion Colonial Army, which ran Africa throughout the war.

OOC: You haven't said anything about the Scottish King that I put up. I remember you agreeing with me about something when TC had it.
