>> The Holstein Accords


We of the Rheinland Federal and Imperial governments issue the following unanimous declaration of armistice and reunification to preserve and strengthen the people and state of the House of Rheinland:

We recognize that the Imperial coup of 827AS from which the Rheinland Imperial Government emerged was an expression on behalf of the Rheinland people for the desire towards industrial self-sufficiency and mercantilist economic planning.

We recognize the continued survival of the Rheinland Federal Government reflects the will of the Rheinland people for a democratic system of government founded on the prioritization and protection of personal and political freedoms.

All participants of the Rheinland Civil War on behalf of the Federal and Imperial governments are issued blanket amnesty for all actions leading up to these Holstein Accords.

We resolve to embrace both perspectives as the desire and will of the Rheinland people, and we will do so by dissolving the Imperial and Federal factions to form one united Rheinland House built upon the founding principles of both.

To that end, the following is a set of negotiated terms issued as the final proclamations of the Imperial and Federal governments to close the Rheinland Civil war under the Holstein Accords:
