Lady Anya Waltrip, His Imperial Majesty's Foreign Minister travels to Altea from Kaliburg

His Imperial Majesty's Foreign Minister, Lady Anya Waltrip flew to Altea, Egelion this week to meet with His Majesty, King Romulo I of Egelion.  The mission was two fold.  Most importantly, she was dispatched, along with His Imperial Majesty's Trade and Industry Minister Margurite Bon Maison to discuss possible Egelian Accession to the Anantonese Economic Standardization Accord (AESA- https://forum.prtcy.com/thread-304.html)  Were Egelion to sign this agreement, it would add the Northern Kingdom to Terra's largest custom's union, erasing any barriers toward free movement of goods and services, as well as labor.  All production from signatory nations is treated as domestic, and nations work together within the block to ensure that there is consonance between their economies.  

"We already do a lot of this unofficially," said Lady Waltrip before she boarded the flight to the Egelian Capital.  "Signing the agreement would standardize our economic policies, and add the rapidly expanding Kerisian economy to the regional agreement, that includes Lourenne, Ananto and Kalistan, Lodamun, and Gaduridos, and ensure that whatever barriers remain to trade are abolished with regard to each other."  She said His Imperial Majesty's Government also intends to include Dolgava in the agreement of Anantonese Nations in an effort to promote regional integration. "Kalistan's biggest non imperial trading partners are both the Kerisian nations of Egelian and Dolgava. It won't change whether they each sign on or not, but prices will go down as transaction fees for international trade disappear, and we think all will continue to benefit from the AESA."

The second purpose Lady Waltrip has to travel north is to provide the newly minted Patents to a Baronetcy in Eveari County. "His Imperial Majesty offered a similar gift to the Hutorian Crown Prince last month. The Baronetcy is meant as a late wedding present for the King and Queen, and is intended to encourage the royal family to come to Ananto and visit more often." The Baronetcy comes with a grant of 250 acres in the Bluegrass Valley, across the bay from Eveari in a land of rolling hills and stunningly beautiful 45 foot sea cliffs. "The property is formerly owned by a golf professional, and was purchased when he decided to move to Kaliburg to be closer to his family. It is a modern architectural design that overlooks Eveari Bay and on clear evenings, you can see the lights of the City of Eveari twelve miles across the bay. It is an amazing property, complete with all modern conveniences, as well as guest and servants quarters on the property. The Baronetcy, which we will leave it to King Romulo and Queen Nicole to name, is truly fit for the Egelian Royal Family."

The Patents will be delivered to the King via the Foreign Minister. In all, Lady Waltrip is expected to be in Egelion for two weeks as she attempts to secure the accession to AESA.
