The Dawn of a Union

[Thyrzul]

Just as he finished his question two men approached the corridor, one staying outside while the other entering to greet those inside. Pierre quickly stood up and took the offered handshake. - Enchanté, President! Je suis Pierre LaFlamme, Général en Chef Du Conseil. - he then motioned over to the woman next to them. - Let me introduce Kaigun Taisho Sakuma Hitomi of the Dai San-Yon-San Kaigun Kokutai. Now I guess we are only waiting for...

At that moment a robed person entered the conference room, his two guards following behind him. LaFlamme stepped closer to greet the pope and offered him a right hand shake, only to be corrected as the other offered his left, cybernetic hand for the greeting. - Euh, donc. Kallisti, Pope Brettonias! - he again briefly introduced himself and the rest of the delegates to the newly arrived representative of the Temporarily Autonomous Zoners so that the meeting can begin.

Alors, - he began speaking, standing in front of the other three already sitting, - as you may be already well aware of, we are here to formalise relations between the factions we are representing here. We have been working along as allies for years now, fighting side by side against our common enemies, helping each other out even in more peaceful times. But in order to ensure the stability of the region however, we need to define a more structured et regulated alliance between the Crayter Republic, the Dai San-Yon-San Kaigun Kokutai, the Temporarily Autonomous Zoners et Le Conseil Gaulois. - here he was looking at each other representative when mentioning their respective factions. - For that we need to discuss various matters I've collected in the following list.

He took his tablet and tapped the screen a few times. The left screen display on the wall began listing the points the general collected to bring up for discussion:

Mutual acknowledgements
Military pact, union against common enemies
Trade pact, economic and logistic assistance
Technology pact, terms and conditions of exchange

In case you have any other ideas to add to this list of topics to discuss, feel free to speak your mind. The order of discussion is not set, we can start with any of the above. Mademoiselle et messieurs, which subject should we address first?
