Excellent!

Are there any particular points that you would like to bring to the table?

(I do apologise for being a bit behind on this, I've been very busy recently)

Firstly, I would like go ahead for the Tirlar City to Svorgas railway, which is central to Senyan interests. We would like a relaxed border with the territory of Tirlar as well, with citizens of both countries not needing a passport, but instead any form of ID, to cross the border.

To boost corporate trade between our nations, Senya would allow for Elwynnese companies to not pay as much tax in Senya, in return for a similar deal for Senyan companies.

The Senyan sportswear manufacturer AndWinSports is also hoping to secure the sponsorship deals to the Elwynn & Hurmu national soccer (football) teams, making both kits, but with 80% of all profits going back into Elwynn. Senya would also like to assist Elwynn in forming some sort of soccer league.

Now, anything Elwynn would like to add?

Those all seem reasonable things to consider.
What about general political/diplomatic relationships and co-operation? Presumably you're not seeking a full alliance, or are you?

We are not seeking a full alliance, but establishing diplomatic contact would please the President. Senya also would like to sign some sort of non-aggression pact with Elwynn if that would be possible.

That sounds fine. I shall present an initial draft to incorporate all the above points in the next few days.

Excellent. Our procedures are to get the Prince to sign it, and then the Senate to ratify it. I assume yours are considerably quicker and more efficient?

Yes, we only need approval from the President, the Senyavite and our Minister of Defence, all of which have already approved of this treaty.

Are you able to provide a link to that approval, or is it just easier for you to append an appropriate signature here?

It would be easier for me to do the latter, we hold our consultations in real life and skype chats, so it'd be best to do it here. How would I go about appending my signature? Do I just type my name here or do I upload my actual signature?

Sorry, I want to get things right :)

If it's an image or text, just upload it or type it here. I'll ask Jacobus to do the same, then I can edit the final version appropriately for presentation to the Senate. :)

I'll remind the Prince of his obligation to sign the treaty first. Hopefully he is able to access this forum now. Then it will go before the Senate. We might even have a sports minister shortly to help manage the soccer side of things. :)
