A trip to the South

[Rheinbund]

"For article 1, I agree with not imposing trade sanctions, but for the tariffs I would more go for a lowering by 10 or 20%. For article III, I think it would be better if we keep our hands free regarding tax policies; furthermore, in theory, our governments could propose such bills, but what if the parliaments vote against them? For the current article V, this will violate Eiffelland-Retalia's neutral stance; I cannot agree to that."

 

[Justosia]

"Then I shall have it revised as I am in agreement."

 

[Justosia]

The copy with all King Albrecht's proposed amendments was presented to him. HRM awaited his reaction.

Now the treaty looked like the following.

Treaty of Economic Friendship & Non Aggression​

Whereas the signatories of the Great Southern Kingdom of Justosia & the Union-State of Eiffelland-Retalia agree to the following:

Article I
Signatories agree to never impose trade sanctions upon the other.

Article II
Signatories agree to reduce trade tariffs by 20% compared with the tariffs applicable on 1 December 2018.

Article III
Signatories agree to fully respect each other's shipping lanes.​

King Albrecht read it, and said: "This is what I can agree to."
