From Admiral Valtonen, Commander of the Eastern Imperial Fleet [i]My Emperor, I am proud to announce to you and the people of Attolia that the Eastern Fleet has successful made contact with our first nation in the Orient. The Kingdom of Jinje is a nation led by King Kasermsarn, the first of his name. They were impressed with our ships, which admittedly are less than pristine, regardless with our ships of the line, we carry significant firepower that the natives of this land seem to have rarely seen. They are rather simple people and the region seems to not be as developed as the nations of the homeland. Regardless, there are rich lands and exotic goods here that are rather rarely seen in the markets of the homeland. The King has invited me to stay as a guest, which I have accepted. I will use the opportunity to submit to the King a formal trade and cultural exchange agreement, and then continue on my journey to explore the Orient. It is my hope that with this agreement, Attolian goods will be found in every corner of the world. From our pre-existing relations with the Western Expanses of the New World where the Republic of Toubres, and the Kingdom of Aontas settlers toil, to the deserts of Africa where the Three Cities, HTE, and the Empire of Redcliff civilize the savage tribes and bring them to the light of god... soon even the Orient will see Attolian trade ships with our new relations with the Kingdom of Jinje. Long live the Empire![/i] --- Summary: The Empire of Attolia offers a formal trade agreement to the Kingdom of Jinje, adding to the pre-existing list of trading partners in Europe.
