📰 Diplomacy and commerce 🌎 Vesterland answers Arendelle's call to alliance. Princess and ambassador-at-large Mari expresses her kingdom's willingness to join Anna's Entente of Small Kingdoms: “Your public appeal and the heartfelt letters from your friends have galvanized me."
📰Breaking politics-diplomacy-commerce ⚖️ Queen Colisa of Chatho is to visit Arendelle as the Royal Bank of Chatho opens a line of credit to Bjorgman. Newspapers speculate that Colisa also seeks a bespoke trade pact between Arendelle and Chatho, to open a new market for Kristoff.
🌍 Diplomacy 📰 Queen Anna releases public appeal inviting Vesterland, in particular its princess Mari, to join her alliance.
"Alone, Arendelle doesn’t stand a chance against a member of the Exalted. None of us smaller kingdoms do. It would be my honour if you chose to join me."
ANNA'S TREATY
Where the signatories see global geopolitical and economic rivalry; are repelled and offended by imperialism and colonialism; and see the hand of a cabal of world rulers, the Exalted, moving through every nation and reducing them to puppets: https://t.co/oxnpDBULzs
Queen Anna's upcoming column: An appeal to Vesterland against Harrison!
"Since my sister made a public appeal to the Exalted's leader, I'm reaching out to Mari. Are you well? Do you remember me? I sometimes daydream that you'd come across my column or news about me. I miss you."
🌍 Commerce 💎Business war between Bjorgman and Skau-Krogh in FULL SWING as Bjorgman lowers ice prices to undercut Lars' entry, both firms bid fiercely for dockyards, and stockbrokers maul each other for shares in either company.
Who will end up the Princely House of Arendelle?!
"As competition between Kristoff and Lars heats up on spices, ice, tea, real estate, shipping, and so many more fronts, I'm convinced Anna can neuter Harrison's attack with her alliance, like I did Katina's with mine. Anna's always been a leader. She just needed a chance." - Elsa
"Only one state hasn't joined the Entente of Small Kingdoms: Vesterland. Its princess, Mari, had a very special bond with me, despite her father's disdain for Elsa and me when I was a princess. I hope the Exalted haven't gotten to them. I miss her and could use her help." - Anna
📰Politics & Diplomacy 🌍 "Allies and enemies, and even the titans ruled by the Exalted, have known Elsa and Anna for years. Hungry eyes are on the sister-queens. Shadowy masterminds are placing bets on whether the Diarchy can protect Arendelle's sovereignty." - The AG editorial
"The Entente of Small Kingdoms is Anna's creation, but was modelled on Elsa's alliance that beat the Russian tsar's Baltic fleet. Anna's ruthless, politically astute side is telling an enraged Katina: 'We're still here.'"
