Joint Statement by Interspace Commerce and the Bundesrepublik of Rheinland

[Matthias D. Falkenrath]

Bonn's conference room was bustling with news reporters from Rheinland and all major Houses. They were taking photographs and finishing any last minute issues. In addition, a large number of Interspace officials were seated opposite of the podium, waiting patiently for the press conference to begin.

Ten minutes later, Interspace Commerce's House Director Matthias D. Falkenrath, and the representative of Rheinland's Government approached the podium for their joint statement. Matthias was sweating, he wasn't used to so many people watching his every word and handshake. He started his speech first.

"It is with great pleasure to announce that Interspace Commerce has fully returned in the Bundesrepublik of Rheinland. We are quickly moving our headquarters back to Bonn Station and the cargo restrictions on IC-affiliated shippers will certainly be lifted as soon as the negotiations with the government of Liberty are concluded. It should be mentioned that a large number of companies are already planning to open their offices again on Bonn Station.

For about a month, we held extensive talks with Chancellor Neumann and our partners in the government of Rheinland and we reached a mutually beneficial agreement. It is in the best interests of both Interspace but also of the people of Sirius for Rheinland to prosper again and that was our aim during the negotiations. The trillion credits loan to Rheinland with its long-term repayment value and lack of interest is the basis for Rheinland to return into growth and development. Our return also guarantees economic stability and insurance.

I would like to announce that Rheinland is now a business-friendly House again with a stabilized economy and very high economic perspectives for the next decade. Interspace Commerce is also offering market products for potential new investors considering to invest into the growing economy of our House.

Our next goal is the stabilization of commerce between Rheinland and Liberty. Subsequently, we will continue working closely with the government of Rheinland. Thank you everyone."

Matthias finished his speech, and now was the turn of the Rheinland government representative to speak. He sipped a portion of his water.
