*glares at Kilo* And who the hell are you, and why should I, King of not Giving a Fuck, care?

Okay, working on putting up my nation. A rich kingdom based upon rich ocean-trade and purveyance of luxuries and pleasure, now trying to keep up in an industrializing world despite its shortages of coal and ore and dependency on mercenary forces to fill out its army, navy, and sky-fleet.So who wants to trade with me? Or take loans from my banks?

Perhaps The Arkil Federation could be helping to modernize Nordamark's airship fleet, like transferring from helium to Kavuria, allowing them to build airships that don't need to dedicate so much space and weight to the limits of helium. Or something like that. With a cheap supply of Kavuria available from the Federation, it would benefit both nations, with Nordamark saving money on helium along with having a much more modern, easily managed airships fleet and the Arkil Federation having another trading partner. Not to mention a lot of the private industry of Arkil is gonna want to store some of their money somewhere secure! XD

Good ideas. Especially since Nordamark's Colossi sky-battleships are real logistics nightmares to supply and maintain. Cheaply available Kavuria would be a godsend in that regard. And Nordamark banks, such as the Ironclad Guild (notorious for their nigh-impregnable steel vaults) would be more than happy to protect Arkil finances and provide loans to businessmen looking to expand into Nordamark.Meanwhile the Nordamark luxury and recreation businesses could be getting a major foothold into Arkil cities and into its social elite. Happy people are always a nice thing to have, although it may lead to some interesting complications between our respective intelligence agencies at parties.
