Dear Minister Quickfeather,

The Republic of Nanuka has long pledged itself to the pursuit of justice and cooperation among the civilized nations of the world. We applaud the Grand Covenant of Cantignia for doing the same. It is in the spirit of our mutual peaceful ambitions that the Republic will happily sign a non-aggression pact between our two countries.

With regards,

Message from the Grand Covenant of Cantignia

Esteemed foreign partners,

It has been our pleasure to sign non-aggression pacts between the sovereign nations of Westernesse with our Oceanic realm. Cantignia will soon break off and negotiate with each of your nations individually to discuss the potential for mutual defense agreements to protect from re-colonization from the Old World. First though we wish to invite your robust navies and coast guard units, as they can be made safely available, to a naval wargame north of Cantignia scheduled for this June: Operation Determined Mariner.

Please accept the following responses cabled to these nations, some jointly, some individually:


@Nanuka & @Pelasgia Yukon
Given competing invitations to attend Easter services from within the Yukon, which offered welcoming offers from Episcopal and Catholic faiths, as well as a warmly regarded opportunity from Nanukan Christians: Prophetess Juniper Althoff has settled on the following liturgical experience during Holy Week (April 13-19, 2025):

The morning of Palm Sunday will be spent with the Tiburan Catholic Archdiocese of Hull, at the Basilica of Our Lady of Hull. In the afternoon Mrs. Althoff will visit with Celestial Christians from the Yukon with the intent of spending that evening with Celestial Missionaries from Cantignia.

On Holy Monday Mrs. Althoff will meet with the Established Episcopal Church of the Commonwealth, at the Cathedral of Christ Church in Hull to attend services then engage with Episcopal Church leaders to establish interfaith dialogues and to find areas where Celestial and Episcopal charities may find cooperation.

On Tuesday the Prophetess will be joined by Secretary Quickfeather to discuss a bilateral mutual defense agreement against re-colonization with Yukon's Commonwealth.

On Wednesday Mrs. Althoff will be joined by family to enjoy nature excursions near the Yukon-Nanukan border facilitated by known Celestial Christians and Missionaries.

On Thursday Althoff and family expect to continue private vacationing in Nanuka with Celestial faithed hosts.

On Good Friday the Prophetess will attempt to host an on-stage interfaith dialogue with protestant and atheist intellectuals in Harper's Landing, Nanuka. Rather than a debate thought and faith leaders will be asked: "How can we save this planet together?" Secretary Quickfeather will discuss a bilateral mutual defense agreement against re-colonization with Nanukan officials.

On Saturday morning Althoff will meet with Celestial Christians from Nanuka, in the afternoon Missionaries from Cantignia, and in the evening will lead the largest Harper's Landing Temple in services to honor the death of Christ in the Old World and celebrate his appearance in the New.

Easter Sunday's morning will be private to the Althoff family or focused on a webcast down-Cannie to Grand Covenant Celestial Christians. The remaining afternoon will be dedicated further to Yukon and Nanuka Celestials for Q&A sessions or private meetings.



It is our belief that the Grand Covenant of Cantignia can secure a trilateral mutual defense agreement against re-colonization with Nueva Betica and Josepania in the coming weeks. We would hope that such an agreement might expand soon to the @Azure Commonwealth and the colony from @Radilo to create a sense of stability and security in the southern hemisphere. Special Envoy Wilbur Ordóñez will remain in this region to facilitate our ongoing effort there.


We understand the Federation of Sylvania's reticence to commit to a multilateral defense agreement with the entirety of the Westernesse continent and rather seek a bilateral mutual defense agreement against re-colonization from the Old World. President Alton G. Hendricks is expected to remain in Sylvania to discuss this prospective deal, others, and to hammer out their details.

This office shall, therefore, be in close correspondence with Special Envoy Wilbur Ordóñez during his visit regarding this topic amongst others, and shall receive his proposals with favor.

Dear Minister Quickfeather,

The Republic is delighted and honored to hear word of the Prophetess' official itinerary for the highly anticipated visit. It should go without saying that her presence in Nanuka will have a large, positive impact on the country.

The Nanukan Rangers, the country's premier law enforcement agency - second to none, is committed to working with the Prophetess' security detail and her family to ensure a safe, enjoyable trip to Nanuka. Proper contacts from the Rangers to the Prophetess' security shall be made. The details of the family's private vacation in Nanuka will be kept private such that it can be assured they enjoy their time together in our great outdoors.

I, personally, look forward to meeting Secretary Quickfeather to discuss this important topic of mutual defense.

Message from the Grand Covenant of Cantignia

Cantignia is prepared to sign a wider and inclusive version of this treaty as well. We wish to emphasize our strategic belief that a multi-lateral agreement requires a singular host for the Hemispheric Defense Office and we are prepared to foot the bill in Neu Antorff, Cantignia alongside this summer's suggested naval wargames in what we today call Oceania.

Next, we suggest a compromise to the ongoing dispute regarding the name and nomenclature of our large and diverse region. It is that in Engellexic, which is spoken and read officially in Cantignia and by other signatory powers, we might call the lands as follows: North Westernesse in the Yukon and Nanuka, Westernesse where much of Sylvania and @Josepania reside, South Westernesse nations such as @Nueva Betica or Muntica, and finally Cantignia which will agree to terms such as Oceanic Westernesse. Next, in the tongues of Josepania or Nueva Betica, we might in their language version of this agreement continue to call the continental shelf the Occident or Occidentia, and that Cantignia's sub-region be known in those languaged versions Occidental Oceanía.

Recognizing Oceania's subregional presence to the upper continental shelfs, the down-Cannie legislators and diplomats are prepared to retitle this organization the Westernesse - Occidentia Defense Agreement (WODA).

Next, in the tongues of Josepania or Nueva Betica, we might in their language version of this agreement continue to call the continental shelf the Occident or Occidentia, and that Cantignia's sub-region be known in those languaged versions Occidental Oceanía.

Recognizing Oceania's subregional presence to the upper continental shelfs, the down-Cannie legislators and diplomats are prepared to retitle this organization the Westernesse - Occidentia Defense Agreement (WODA).

Message from the Grand Covenant of Cantignia

Welcome Oceana,

Adherence to non-aggression within this hemisphere is the bedrock value of the Westernesse-Occidentia Defense Agreement. Cantignia intends to return to Oceana soon to propose the Mutual Defense Treaty already signed by the free nations of @Nueva Betica - @Josepania - @Sylvania. The robust glory of Oceana's Imperial Navy might introduce itself well alongside the naval participants of the joint WODA Summer Naval Wargame near Neu Antorff later this year (Operation Determined Mariner in June).
