[b]Lancus, Lance Empire[/b]
The Emperor stared at the proposition before him. It had arrived from Lydiah and it was a good deal in the Emperor's mind at least, although a rather small amount of the nobility disagreed on the basis that the Empire should be conquering and expanding, not forging alliances and trading. He signed it, and told a envoy to go to Lydiah saying the deal was accepted and once the Lance Empire had enough land in the New World they would be given there cities.

While not much else was happening the Emperor had also ordered the launch of the 2nd Colonial Fleet, with enough food for a year for everybody, 2000 Colonist, 1000 Regulars, and other essentials, tools, animals, and seed. With the support of both Numburgian ships and the naval forces of there other allies the trip should go without a hitch. He had also gathered the clergy, philospers, teachers, and scientists and told them to begin investigating into methods of weapon production and better weapons. The naval reforms were going smoothly, and slowly but surely the naval forces of the Lance Empire were improving.
