[center] [h1]The Empire of Zellonia[/h1] [h2][img]http://img08.deviantart.net/28f2/i/2016/056/1/4/random_fictional_english_flag_by_captainvoda-d46x97b.png [/img][/h2][/center] [center][color=pink] [h2]The Liubeth Peace Conference[/h2][/color] [/center] While peace had finally been achieved it was a hardly felt like one. Nearly a quarter of the country had been occupied. Many innocents had died, while the diplomats were able to get off relatively easy from their own enemies. It seemed the [i]ally[/i] of Violette has demanded compensation and took zellonia’s own prized pre-dreadnoughts for themselves. The king gave a heartfelt speech to his people saying while we must always morn the lost we must look to the future and rebuild and become stronger, yet never forget.. Even worse foreign reports specifically from oslad have said [i] “Zellonia, is now as cripplied as their own king we have beaten them like the dogs they are and if they are smart they will stay down”[/i] these reports have only infuriated the zellonian people so much so the osladian ambassador was thrown out and the embassy closed. Further people amassed outside the Violette embassy and while they didn’t cause trouble they menaced upon their [i]friend[/] [center][color=pink] [h2]The Phoenix Rises[/h2][/color] [/center] As previously mentioned the Liubeth Conferenced had been a poor victory yet, the memoital seeing the world change around them knew they had to find friends and agreed to a peaceful integration into the zellonian empire. They were all welcomed with open arms as the memoitals and zellonians have always been a close breed. With the zellonian skills in their ships and the memoitals handling land warfare the country will be unstoppable atleast that is the common belief. As such the memoital military staff have begun to devise ways to improve the current training regime as well as look into combining zellonian technology with the kalpian rifle that they aquired from the war. [center][color=pink] [h2]The Phoenix Spread its wings[/h2][/color] [/center] As it’s close neighbors Oslad and Kalpia have become hated among the zellonian populace it was much agreed that zellonia would need to look further for trade and ways of goods. As such overatures were made to the Tyro-Redanian Empire, The Marnish Kingdom, The Itheraen Republic, The Tsardom of Radena and Thecia. The Foreign minister informed his ambassadors to draft proposals for trade deals specifically aiming to sell machine parts and to offer zellonian naval officers to teach the greater powers the ways of naval supremacy. To the Tsardom of Radena a specific proposal was drawn up to trade machine parts for rubber as well as to offer them some of the kalpian rifles. Along with the offer of a defensive pact.
