| Message | To: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Holy Luthori Empire et al From: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Imperial Crownlands of Greater Hulstria To Whom it May Concern, As you may or may not be aware of, the Imperial Crownlands of Greater Hulstria has recently proposed a “Greater Hulstria Free Trade Agreement” and have invited your nation to participate in this economic friendship pact. Your nation is already currently eligible for entrance into the treaty due to your national position on imports. Therefore, I am writing you this letter in another attempt to convince you to partake in this new free trade agreement. Greater Hulstria has long been an economic powerhouse in Dovani. From the earliest settlements by Luthori colonists to today, we have faithfully contributed to the global economy. We are blessed with an abundance of natural resources which will be included in this free trade agreement. Among these include gold, copper, foodstuffs, and more modern commodities including heavy machinery et cetera. Mitranian farms are world renowned for their superlative and unmatched cultivation of agricultural produce. The goldmines of Springfontein and lower Hulstria produce much of the world’s gold supply. The ports at Marchau process a large portion of the world’s trade. All of this will be offered at a premium to those who sign this treaty, in addition to securing Greater Hulstrian markets for your own goods. With the reimplementation of the ideals of apartheid in Greater Hulstria, our citizens and politicians are concerned that our economy will falter as a result. In an effort to bond with like minded and forthcoming nations like Luthori, we have presented this treaty for your consideration. It is my utmost prayer that you will join with your friends in Greater Hulstria to secure both of our economies and peoples in a free connection of economic interests. Sincerely, Rt. Hon. Adriaan van Grootfontein Minister of Foreign Affairs Greater Hulstria |

| Message | We women who have taken the time to study the background of this Treaty have noticed that it has not actually been ratified yet by Greater Hulstria, and therefore our ratifying it is something of an anachronism at the moment. Nevertheless, we will support the Treaty, keeping our fingers crossed and hoping everything works out smoothly in the end. Belinda Braithwaite (Leader of the LWCA) |

| Message | I hoped that supporting our former colonies with measures such as this would eventually lead to the formation of a "Luthori Commonwealth", combining the current empire, former colonies and, one day, "Commonwealth Realms" ruled by our same monarch. |

| Message | Greater Hulstria has, for a few years now, suffered under the yoke of socialism. We have broken that recently after the main socialist party collapsed just before the last elections. We have hope that in the coming years this treaty can finally be ratified, as there is now only one party standing in the way of it's passage. |
