The Kingdom of Craitland, located immediately south east of Raikoth, is geographically important for the Imperial Republic. We have a long history of relations, and cooperations, between one another, especially between the previously independent governments of Elwynn and Amokolia with Craitland. For example, Annike in Amokolia is named after the Craitish king's wife, Annike, who was Princess of Amokolia before the Amokolian independence from Victoria. In 1608, Craitland and Shireroth signed the treaty of Osĵätoņ to formalize our relations. It is a treaty that promises trade and cooperation – a treaty that still stands on the books.
Sadly, the relations between Craitland and Shireroth took a sour turn with the formation of the USSO, and the war of the lost brothers. The Ministry of the Exterior was forced to freeze all relations with Craitland due to its involvement with the USSO. Now that Craitland is no longer a party to the USSO, Craitland is fully free and sovereign in the international arena. As such, the King of Craitland and I have agreed to reconfirm the Osĵätoņ treaty, and agree on visa-free access for our respective nationals, so to boost the exchange of our peoples, so that we can learn from one another more, form relationships, and further the trade with one another.
This can only lead to advantages for us all – I therefore commend this agreement to the Landsraad for ratification.
