A Hello from Ergonia

Hello and Greetings from Ergonia!

My name is Thadeus Z. Lange Jr and I am the Chairman of the Governing Council of The Independent Realm of Ergonia, a nation that is based in the northeastern part of the continent of Keltia.

We noticed that the Republic of Liga was a new nation on Micras and we would be interested in the possibility of discussing mutual diplomatic recognition and perhaps a Treaty of Friendship.

In case Liga would be interested in a Treaty of Friendship and Alliance, we have prepared one below.  If you would like for anything in it to be changed, or are not interested in a treaty at this time, simply let us know.  Our hopeful goal is to build a strong and lasting friendship with all nations with which we have diplomatic relations.
