Xsampa begins discussions with Bianjie over potential economic union; Metz-Leonid and Gemun to talk.

Last year, People's Commissar of Foreign Affairs, Kalingpong endorsed the idea of an economic union for Dovani, and since then, the national conversation has shifted drastically. While there remain significant doubts over whether a socialist country could join an economic union and retain socialist values, this hasn't stopped the conversation from being discussed. And, this week, to wrap up the year, the People's Committee of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that active talks were being held with Bianjie over the possibility of an economic union, not just between Xsampa and Bianjie, but one available to all of Dovani, irregardless of whether socialist or capitalist. As such, Comrade Kalingpong is spending the rest of the year in Gemun to continue active negotiations with his Bianjian counterpart, Rong Litari, over whether such an economic union is possible, and especially whether it's possible without compromising the economic systems of Xsampa and Bianjie.

The fact that the conversation is actively happening between the two states however, is telling that despite the bruises that Pan-Dovani sentiment has taken over the 55th century, it's marching into the 56th century with its chin held up high. But, we're likely to see the results by next year. If a proper economic union can be formed, it would be the first in a very long time for Dovani, and it can very easy be a way for all of Dovani to share prosperity, not just select regions. But, the biggest hurdle will be it's foundation, as Bianjie does embrace a capitalist economic model, even if it is more state oriented, compared to the market socialist nature of Xsampa's economy. If these hurdles can be overcome, then it's likely that an economic union treaty can pass PAX and pass with public approval. 

Whatever the case, details are light so far as the talks are in their early phase, but there's a sense of optimism that this can be achieved, and that Pan-Dovani Sentiment can be a major force beyond rhetoric. The last major institutional win for Pan-Dovanism was the Sovereign Sea Accords in the 5680s, but a proper Dovani economic union can very well be even more of a major institutional win, and solidify Pan-Dovani Sentiment to not just Dovani, but the world, as possible, instead of just empty words and rhetoric.
