"The Italian state thanks all members of the international community for their recognition of our sovereignty and independence." - Foreign Minister Melissa Manzi

With the fall of the Athenian Federation, a new government would arise in the Italian state. Immediately a representative government council would convene in Rome to formulate a formal federal government and build Italy's military capabilities. National Government: Grand Chancellor: Adriano Marcellino Chancellor of Interior: Madam Iona Felicetti Chancellor of Exterior: Mr. Cristiano Rosetta Chancellor of Defense: Mr. Lucas Passarella

"We support this draft, however we do have concerns in relation to Article 6. Do you mind if we scratch that for now?"

"The Mexican government would like to see increased economic cooperation between Mexico's energy sector and Russia's. The current energy infrastructure is wearing down and outdated. Mexico is looking for new energy alternatives, including eventually becoming energy dependent. The Mexican armed forces are also looking into the possibility of updating its equipment with Russian equipment. Thoughts?"

King Federico would be slightly taken back by the Brazilian proposition but would reply, "We thank the Brazilian Empire for its quite generous offer. Currently Mexico only needs technological support for F-22 and F-35 aircraft. These will fulfill our current military requirements. In terms of a foreign naval base on our western shores, I will have to discuss with my Council before any definite answer, but I personally see no problem with it."

Once the Russian Foreign Minister arrived in Mexico, King Federico would greet him saying, "Welcome to Mexico Senor Denisov. I hope that this visit may produce beneficial agreements between our two countries." The King and the Russian delegation would be taken to the Royal Palace. Upon arriving he would lead them into a medium-sized conference room equpped with the latest technological communications systems available. "Please take a seat," announced a nearby staff member. "So, Mexico currently sees no imminent threat to its national security or its economic prosperity. However that doesn't mean Mexico will not need improvement. Mexico views Russia as future strategic ally and would like to work closely with it in as many capacities as possible. We have a few ideas, but please I would like to see what Russia has in mind first."

I accept and nominate TBM, Lynneth, and Shammy

Once the Imperial Prince arrived in the capital Monterrey, he would be greeted with a full honor guard and local delegation. King Federico would personally greet the Prince saying, "Your royal highness, welcome to Mexico! I do hope that our two countries may work together in various areas of interest." They would enter a motorcade which would then take them to the Royal Palace in Monterrey. Once they arrived, the King would lead Prince Jorge into a prepared conference room to immediately begin discussions. "If you don't mind your highness I would like to get right down to business. In an ever changing world we must act quickly in order to keep up. The first topic I would like to discuss is economic cooperation. Would it be possible to have a free-trade agreement? And preferably be attached to an overall security treaty?"
