[center][b]The Confederacy of Sawl[/b][/center]

"My lord," a servant announced as he walked into the old republic building, now turned into a palace for the dictator. "Speak," the dictator said as he looked up from his desk, piercing into the servant. After a few moments the servant spoke "We have received word that our fleet is now fully ready to set sail and defend any trade that we would possibly engage in." "And what of our land armies? Surely we have enough forces to repel any invaders?," Williams asked. "4,000 men are being recruited as we speak." A smile came to the dictator's face "Wonderful, marvelous! Send out our ships to find any nation that would seem to be a profitable trade with"

Not long after that order, five Third Rate ships went out and explored the surrounding sees for any new or old nations. Of course a two went to make the trek back to the old world, no doubt things had changed. They had found ships that held the Nehalian flag, they were surprised to find that the Nehalians had expanded so far. Some of their original merchants came from Nehalia when the country first began. 

A letter was sent to the Nehalians in the Serranthia holding after reports had gone to the dictator himself.

[hider=Introductory letter to the Nehalians ]
To whoever may the governor of the Nehalians in the Serranthia holding,

  Hello, this is an introductory letter sent by the Confederacy of Sawl. We are wishing good fortunes upon our neighbors now that our isolationism has ended. We are located in the western lands of the Serrantia holding. Good tiding to you and may your people prosper.

Signed, Williams Sergio the I

The letter had been given the seal of the Sawlian Confederacy so that their new neighbors would know who it would be from. They clearly meant no hostilities and soon after, the dictator had more printed for him to sign. This was in case more important nations had begun to get noticed by any of the ships in the Sawlian Navy. The ship quickly set sail back to the homeland so that the ship could get back to its original post, defending the bay that led to Sawl territory.
