Aside from my brief alignment with the Eighth (for opportunistic reasons mostly), there are no friendly relations between Germany and Austria. It may seem like it, but that may be because I haven't had a chance to show it. We've had some talks in Chatzy though that make my stance pretty clear. I'm not continuing hostilities with Germany, simply because there is nothing for me to gain on that front anymore, so it's not worth fighting. But I'm not being super friendly with them either. It took So Boerd a bit of persuasion just to get me to agree to consider opening friendly relations with Germany. And in the end, all I agreed to was a small deal that benefits us both (to do with improving my industry). Austria is by no means a close ally though. Not an enemy, but not an ally either.
