Established Nation
Pyrgos, Propontis M.P., Pelasgia
When speaking of the "Tower of Pyrgos", historically, one would be referring to the Galatopyrgos or "Milk Tower", the all-white fortification overlooking the old port district of Propontis which had risen to prominence in the wake of the Great Himyari Crusade. It was here that Propontis' historic Radilan and Catholic communities had mostly settled, once upon a time, and it was here that most foreign delegations, minority institutions, and international companies were still located. Yet, in the forty years since the end of the Union of Thrones between Caria and Pelasgia, the term "Tower of Pyrgos" had taken on a whole new meaning: for it could also be referring to "New Pyrgos Tower", the massive, glass and steel high-rise that overlooked the harbour like a new colossus. This physical manifestation of the Pelasgian shipping magnates' wealth and power was one of the many highrises dotting the New Business District of Propontis, in what used to be warehouses and industrial buildings before those moved further out, to the new port of Hagios Simeon. Banks, shipping companies, law firms, financial services companies, industrial giants and all sorts of major corporations and firms called this area home. New Pyrgos Tower, however, was the district's emblem—and it was for this reason that it had been chosen as the forum for the meeting between the governments of @Radilo and Pelasgia.
Once all the requisite pomp and ceremony had been observed upon the Radillans' arrival at Propontis International Airport "Alexios Vatatzes", the guest delegation had been luxuriously and safely conducted to New Pyrgos Tower via motorcade. It was there, in a penthouse conference room whose architecture combined classical motifs with modern minimalism, along with plentiful natural light from the glass windows all around, that the two delegations were sat across from one another.
"It is a great honour for me to welcome you here," started Pelasgian Foreign Minister Count Theophrastos Palaiologos, the man who had sent out the initial invitation for the meeting, and who had been the head and voice of Pelasgian foreign policy for some three administrations now. "Pelasgia and Radilo have a long and storied history, including both pleasant and unpleasant chapters, but always colourful and worthy of note. Today, I hope, we can start a new chapter in this relationship of ours. This is to constitute both a formalisation of existing ties between us, as well as an attempt to clarify any points of friction that might exist or emerge at a later date. On this note, I envision three major axes for our meeting: bilateral ties; economic ties; and long term cooperation. I shall not hide that Pelasgia has made a policy of investing into the Meridian to revatilise its trade, so as to enable our region to keep its dominance in global trade. In this task, I hope that we shall find a reliable and willing partner in Radilo, which only stands to gain from such a mutually beneficial relationship."
