Diplomatic Overtures to Vaule

[king of cochin]

The Kingdom of Cochin wishes to improve their diplomatic relations with Vaule. We share a long border and that brings a lot of opportunity for trade as well as danger.

We propose a Non Aggression Pact with you. Such a NAP will be of mutual benefit to both our countries. It could have a 48 hour cancellation notice also.

We hope the Govt of Vaule will be interested in this deal.

[Imperator Azenquor]

The government of the VSR proposes the following text for a Non-aggression pact:
