"The others, namely Gorodnika and Novusk but also those surrounding them, have begun informal talks of organizing some form of wider regional treaties for the benefit of all Ex...all post-Soviet states. We have been made aware of formal talks beginning in a week's time and Oskovia has formally been invited to partake as an equal partner; the question on the table being what should we push for?"

"Trade agreements are the obvious choice, more resources of greater variety and quantity would greatly benefit the nation. We could also push for Migration treaties; which contrary to how it sounds would be more of a means to soften our borders with our more amiable neighbors rather than allowing more of them inside the country. There is also the idea of pushing a mutual aid treaty, forming our own sort of "pocket pact" in the case of any larger nation attempting to engage in diplomacy by any other means."

"Ideally we push for all three, but we should not try to push our luck on this. We have been fortunate that our nation has done as well as it has, but that does not mean that those across the border have not. We are being treated as equals after all, not the grand regional power."

What should our aims be for the talks?
>Standardize trade agreements.
>Softer borders mean more focus on those which require military presence.
>Alone we would hardly be able to put up a fight to foreign "interventions"; look at any nation which the United States has sent their forces into. Mutual aid would go a long way.
