Declaration of Openness from the United Clans to Eras [Open]

[North Timistania]

'People of Eras

I Gaiseric Volkmann, High Chief of the United Clans of Essalanea do solemnly declare our intentions to the world this day. For too long we have dwelled apart from the rest of Craviter, content to reside in splendid isolation. But the world is changing and we must change with it or risk being trampled by the beast of modernity.

We hereby welcome all willing nations, industrial institutions and educational institutions to Essalanea, with your aid we hope to embrace this new age and all it has to offer the clans. let it henceforth be known that all who bear the people of the steppe no ill intent shall be welcome within the sacred city of Vosgotis, all embassies and missions will be granted land within Essalan's Holy City.

In the Name of Ziu, Essalan and on my Honor as regent of the Clan's I bid you welcome'

Gaiseric Volkmann

High Chief of Essalanea

 

[Ninhundland]

Dear, Gaiseric Volkmann and the High Clans of Essalanea,

It has come to our attention the existence of Essalanea as a modern nation state. After looking more into your nation we are more than fascinated that a tribal clan could stay isolated from a globalized world. Even more so there is a shared bond between us as South Gotic peoples. We are more than welcome to discuss relations and provide assistance if so needed. Until around a century ago, there were some regions of Ninhundland that weren't too different from what Essalanea is, still resembling pre-renaissance times. In the hope that you decide to rapidly modernize while still keeping your traditional ways, we look forward to learning more about you.

Director of the Ninhundish Ministry of Foreign Development

Predice's stance on the United Clans of Essalanea​

Your Excellency, it is without doubt that Essalanea will advance far. Predice has decided on the following: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs shall set up a legation in Essalanea, Predice shall provide aid in the construction of infrastructure throughout the country, Predice shall aid in the formation of the local Armed forces, and Predice shall provide aid in modernising the medical systems of Essalanea.

Noble Predice

The Generosity of your people shall be remembered and honored by Essalanea, we swear a blood oath of friendship with the people of your lands. With the Gift of Sheathed blade we Honor you, may it never be raised in anger against you or your kin!

Walk the path of Glory Always!

To Whom it may concern,

The Crowned Republic of Highton believes that Essalanea has a bright future in front of it, and hopes it can find friendship in another South Gotic nation on the continent of Craviter. Highton hopes that it can help contribute to its advancement into the future and emerge as a partner of Essalanea. Highton's historical connection to Essalanea can be seen through the Aleman War, and the legend of the Battle of Trier still rests in the hearts of the Hightonian people– unlike in the time of Thurderic and Eliana, the Hightonian and Essalan nations now have a perfect opportunity to work alongside each other. There is great potential for a strong relationship between Highton and Essalanea- hopefully, this potential can be realized. I've attached a banner as a gift from the people of Highton to Essalanea.

Secretary of International Affairs, Crowned Republic of Highton

[North Timistania]

To the Honored Ruler of Highton, His Highness the Crown Prince

Long ago our two peoples fought a great battle at the gates of the city of Trier, your warriors fought well and eventually gained victory.

The times of Thurderic and Eliana are long past however. In this new age we have the oppurtunity to change the old narrative and to unite together under the shared ideals of brotherhood, honor and peace.

You showed us you have Ehrenseele once on the battlefield, now in peacetime let us instead show our honor through just dealings with one another.

The banner you have gifted us with shall mark Essalanea's rise to modernity aptly and we accept it in the spirit it is given. We shall bear it aloft as our symbol in this new age alongside our ancestral seal.

Walk the Path of Glory Honored Highton, Blades once drawn are now offered sheathed.

High Chief Gaiseric Volkmann,

Essalanea as a land has long captured the imagination of our people. It's a great blessing that Essalanea is opening up now, just as our own nation emerges from its own struggles. Know that you and your representatives are welcome in Prydania. Let's explore the opportunities facing your land our realm together.

Sincerely,

Tobias III Loðbrók, by the Grace of God, King of Prydania, Lord Protector of Austurland, Marshal of Beaconsviði, Lord United, Defender of the Faith ​

 

[North Timistania]

Noble King of Prydania, Tobias III Loðbrók

We are honored to accept your friendship, your people and their representatives will find no ill will amongst the steppe and will be welcome always. May we grow together as brother nations, may this new Craviter bring peace and prosperity to both our lands.

 

[Norsia]

High Chief Gaiseric Volkmann,

Essalanea is a jewel of pure beauty and its people are strong of body, spirit and mind, we have no doubt you will rise quickly to take your rightful spot among the rest of us.
Norsia too wishes to climb higher and higher, to realize its destiny and in that regard, I believe our nations to be kindred spirits. Norsia is rebuilding itself out of conflict but we are at a point we can send sizable resources to assist you in achieving that destiny. I believe our two nations could become fast and inseparable friends.

With your permission, I would like to send two Expeditionary forces with our representatives, Doctors and nurses, teachers and tutors, social workers and more. followed by a strong backbone comprised of some of norsias most battle-hardened warriors. these men and women of Norsia will have the tasks of helping train your warriors in modern warfare. As well as this I would like to set up Military academies revolving around the army, and Airforce so Norsia may impart their expertise onto yours in an efficient manner. These Expeditionary forces, while they are my bannermen will fight for you in war should anyone oppose your right to rule.

It is with that I would guarantee Essalanea's right to independence and its own self-rule, that none may come to your shores or violate your borders with hostile intent, or attempt to force you to bend the knee in servitude or make concessions. Should any of this come to fruition the full might of Norsias military will come to your side as brothers and sisters, ready for war.

Sincerely,

Alycia Saitta

Her Royal Grace, Alycia I Severyn Saitta, by the Grace of the Gods, Queen of the Peoples Commonwealth of Norsia, High Queen of the Fatherland, Lady Protector of the Faith.

 

[North Timistania]

To Her Royal Grace Alycia I Severyn Saitta, Queen of Norsia

Honored Sister, the support and friendship of your people represents a bond with Essalanea that the scions of Essalan shall honor and respect for all ages to come. With your aid, we shall take our first steps into this new Eras, with your protection we shall realize our full potential. Let this alliance be celebrated and known across the rest of Craviter.

While we understand we are beneficiary to your gracious aid we also believe Essalanea has much to offer your people, our land is rich in precious minerals and natural gas and we stand ready to share this wealth with Norsia. Let all know that Norsia is welcome in Essalanea, her soldiers and experts shall be welcomed as kin by the peoples of the steppe and they have my personal guarantee of safety. Should any within the clans threaten our friends from the north they will face the full wrath of Volkmann.

Thus let us be fast friends, bound together by loyalty, shared vision, and peace. We offer to Norsia the gift of a sheathed blade, with this symbol, know that we come with peaceful intent, let the blade never be drawn in anger against the Sons and Daughters of Norsia. Walk always in the light of Glory Alycia I, queen of the Norsi, may your people follow in your steps and know greatness.

In the Name of Ziu, Essalan and the Clans

To the High Chief of Essalanea, Gaiseric Volkmann

The government of Mondari views advancing the economic situation of nations across Eras as paramount to ensuring global stability, prosperity, and peace. Therefore, we in Mondari offers to fund the Horizon Energy Company, at the approval of the Essalanean government, in a project with the goals of building a photovoltaic power station with the capability to produce upwards of 5 megawatts of energy along with the transformers to connect the power station to the Essalanean power grid. Horizon Energy's workers would need a total of 4,500 m2 of space, in addition, the workers would need to be guaranteed safe travel through Essalanea to the construction area. Finally, Mondari will also send people with the workers to train Essalaneans on how to operate the power station and transformers. Mondari's government will monetarily fund the project that should cost an estimated $20m IBU. In return for funding the construction of the power station, transformers, and the salary of the workers; we request that the Essalanean government allow Mondic mining companies to go into Essalanea and extract an amount of coal, determined by the Essalanean government, yearly until the cost of the construction project is matched by the value of coal extracted.

We hope that this proposal is agreeable, if your government agrees to the terms, we can mobilize within a month and start construction of the power station immediately.

High Chief Gaiseric Volkmann,

Though the Kingdom of Merilia resides on Icenia and far from the affairs of Craviter and the nations that reside there, the Government of Merilia wishes to extend the blessings of the Lady and the Lord to your nation and its people. It is heartening to see a nation step away from isolation, open up to the world, and be willing to embrace change and modernity. Though a large cultural and technological gap exists between our nations, we are willing to work with you and your people in modernizing the nation. As Merilia excels in the fields of telecommunications and information technology services, through the Hráva Technology Consortium we are offering an upgrade to the communication infrastructure of your nation. This new infrastructure would allow the clans of Essalanea to better communicate with one another and allow the people of Essalanea to better connect with the wider world. Further, due to our foreign policy of humanitarian interventionism, the Relief Corps of the Crimson Berets Corps are willing to help modernize your nations medical knowledge and infrastructure. Should either proposal be of interest to you and your nations people, feel free to reach out so that we can work on the finer details.

To His Excellency, Secretary Brooks

The generosity and open spirit of Midir towards the people of Essalanea is truly humbling, we are a developing nation with little in the way of solid infrastructure and so the help you now offer will ensure we are not left to wallow in unlit darkness. We fully support your proposed offer and will happily allow Midir to partake of our coal and enter our lands as a friend to the Clans.

May Your People Walk the Path of Glory Always

Statement from the Department of Foreign Relations and Trade in the Republic of Mondari​

Due to the success of the photo-voltaic power system constructed by the Horizon Energy Company. We are proposing to your government, the construction of a natural gas processing plant that would be able to process 100 MMcf/d of natural gas to bolster the production potential of the Essalanean state. The construction would be undertaken by Enterprise Petroleum with a budget of $100m IBU for the processing plant and an additional $85m IBU for the required infrastructure. In addition, we are proposing the construction of a power grid, to connect the major settlements of Essalanea to the Horizon solar power system to supplement the Essalanean people with reliable power, the cost for this is estimated to be around $35m IBU and would be undertaken by the Horizon Energy Company. The $225m IBU in funding would be provided by our government in the aims of helping Essalanea become a self-sufficient power on Craviter. This would free Essalanea from the influence of the great powers on Craviter who could use their vast energy reserves to force the Essalanean state in becoming their lapdog, which would be against what we want for our Luscova Pact ally. We hope that your government finds this agreement to your satisfaction. The construction of infrastructure is a big step in helping your state become a power that can stand on its own two feet easily.
