Why has my development gone down, I'm pretty sure I'm doing the opposite.
Because you just armed yourself with weapons that are somewhat outdated. That's all. You're at the upper part of two stars, but not quite three.
Arconian military officials begin working with the Serisian naval representatives, and find, as a result of good examination, that a good amount of the Arconian fleet is outdated. Although this is a prosperous time for the nation, and a time of peace, Arcon diverts some of its funding to the military, mostly the navy. A generous, though not excessive budget is laid out for reforming the navy, and Seris is given the green light in the matter of reform.
With the completion and successful test of the Arco-Conservatian rifle, Arcon gives the green light to allow manufacturers to continue production, though with the new specifications. After 20,000 units are produced in Arcon for Arconian training services, production will be made for the Baytiyyad Caliphate. Lord Lespérance travels to the caliphate in order to negotiate a change in the contract, specifically for lowering the contracted charges imposed under the contract by the caliphate for Arcon to produce rifles domestically, since the specifications that allowed the rifle to work were of Arconian make.
Arcon also would like to request a list of nations that is permitted to buy the rifle.
Arcon reaches out to New Romekate and would like to establish formal trades, specifically for Romek's iron, granite, marble and coal in exchange for coffees, teas, wheat, barley, millet, olives, dates and lentils. Arcon would also like to sample the obsidian mined from Mt. Koganmordad. In addition, a primary railroad is proposed to go from Sounotte to Sonodine City, Shasta, and eventually end up in Collineville. Other lines will be extended from and connected to it, but this is the beginning proposition that Arcon would like to explore, should Romekate be willing.
