I'd like to discourage all this PRK-bashing, please. Kataylabinsk's foreign relations are definitely going to be influenced by who all ends up around us. Guaranteed, Avalia's going to be first on the list of people we reach out to (followed by Zenovia as a parliamentary constitutional monarchy). If the rest of you guys are all monarchies and the odd fascist dictatorship, it's going to be a lot more amenable to picking one of the monarchies as a tacit ally. Certainly we won't be all lovey-dovey, it's an alliance of convenience. But we'll stick to commitments we make and won't attempt to foment revolution in our allies' lands. Also, we don't do outright war on the first day. We're communists, not fascists. *sticks tongue out at Skepic*
