Red Sphere... good times...
Those were dark days.
After much deliberation, Avalonia has decided upon the following alliances:
1. An alliance (assuming military in nature) with Trejirm Solious is acceptable to Avalonia.
2. An alliance (assuming military in nature) with Iceloch-Svernland is acceptable to Avalonia.
3. A military alliance with Aribissia is not presently acceptable to the Avalonian congress, as Aribissia has proven itself to be a ruthless and imperialistic nation, the kind which Avalonia is not presently interested in affiliation with. However, Avalonia is willing to form a trade alliance between itself and Aribissia.
Avalonia continues to train its armed forces and produce the tools for the art of war.
Avalonian economy has continued to go uphill. Tourism still thrives and both the agricultural and manufacturing industries are approaching their saturation point at which with the current level of technology and economic strength the improvement of the land will no longer be profitable. This is a good thing actually, as it will put further emphasis on trade, both foreign and local, which will in turn re-stimulate agriculture and manufacturing. The Wealth of Nations is great.
An earthquake registering 4.2 shook Western Avalonia. Moderate damage to surrounding infrastructure and minimal death toll.Work begins to repair the region.
