Join the new world

Salut madams and monsieurs,

Ever since our current President, Joseph Rich, was elected, I have been working very hard as your Minister of Foreign Affairs to ensure the return of our land from Slovenia. After many negotiations, I was finally able to reach across the aisle and convince our Slovenian neighbors to sign a peace treaty. Indeed, although this treaty does not give us back all of our regions, it is important to realize that it is better than nothing. With land back, we will be able to hold Congress elections again, something that is crucial to ensuring a mobile, active government. Furthermore, having a Congress will allow us to open up immigration again, our main method of nurturing an active community. Lastly, once Slovenia hands us back Graubunden, our static economy will be mobilized once more. All in all, I am proud to present to you The Olive Branch Treaty!
