The goal of this treaty is not to punish one party or another but to remove tension and agression between the nations of Fulric and Schulstein.
1. For nearly 140 years after the Schulstein Civil War The Duchy of Fulric has been a highly successful independent nation that has shown it did not and does not need to be under the rule of the Grand Kingdom of Schulstein. In the Fulric - Schulstein Civil War Treaty the territory that now makes up the Duchy of Fulric was ceded to the nation of Fulric, however in the past Schulstein has tried to claim they have rights to the territory and have tried to conquer it despite previously forfeiting all claims. The first point this treaty wants to clear up is that the Grand Kingdom Of Schulstein have no claims to any of the territory under the rule of the Duchy of Fulric. The same also goes for the Duchy of Fulric, they have no claims on Schulstein territory.
2. Trade between these great nations have been limited due to aggression from both sides. The second goal of this treaty is to reopen all trade between the nations. Whether it be by land or sea trade will benefit both nations greatly.
3. The Kingdom of Skeptoni has made trade agreements with the Duchy of Fulric in the past and it has shown to be hugely beneficial for them, the Kingdom of Skeptoni would also like to make a trade pact with the Grand Kingdom of Schulstein to form stronger relationships not only on a political level but on a social level between the nation's citizens.

Yes. I think I actually made Nehalenia an enemy to too many nations, and that was an error on my part. It's a 0-2 with a modifier and it had 4 which was too many. Keep on trucking everybody.
IC posts are my favorite. Love seeing you guys flesh the world out.
Is it fine if I make another IC post before the February update? It was going to be a treaty concerning Fulric-Schulstein-Skeptoni relations, if you would rather I can make it after the next update.
The Skeptoni Keiser Herald Skaneg announced that today a group of settlers would set sail today on an expedition to Serranthia. According to the explorers they are going to be making landfall Northwest of New Nehalania. 700 settlers are being sent on the expedition as well as 110 Royal Skeptonian soldiers led by Andrew Thad. They are expected to make landfall sometime in February.
Statement from King Herald Skaneg. "I plead that the two conflicting sides stop their fighting and diplomatically figure their problem out instead of this needless bloodshed."
In order to protect Skeptoni trade interest a squadron of 5 first rates have been dispatched and will be under the command of Admiral Ethan Polly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Odinion, Capital of Skeptoni, The Keiser's Council Meeting.
Treaty of Alliance between the Duchy of Fulric and Skeptoni.
1. The Kingdom of Skeptoni guarantees the independence of Fulric. Any hostile move or invasion against the Duchy of Fulric will give The Kingdom of Skeptoni a reason to join the war against the aggressor. Should the Duchy of Fulric be at war and under attack The Kingdom of Skeptoni may cross the border into Fulric and aid their defense.
2. Unrestricted trade between the two nations by sea or land.
In the year of 1778 the region of Skeptoni was made up of city states all apart of a league of nations known as "The Konfødererede". The Konfødererede did protect the region from external threats well enough and internal struggles were rather unheard of mostly due to the fact that the leaders and the general population of the region all got along pretty well without many issues. The house of Skaneg weren't exactly the most humble of families and had ambition for more power. The brilliant young leader Herlad Skaneg at only the age of 19 years old had begun his life long goal of taking control of the region along with its surrounding areas and rule as Keiser.
Herlad began by forming alliances with other powerful houses of the regions, courting their daughters, impressing their sons, bribing the sleazy officals and minor nobles. Soon enough Herlad's ears and influence were all around the entire region. By then most of the houses in the region unoffically served Herald and respected his power, and even feared it. In 1793 the house of Knýtlinga a rival of Herald's that had resisted his control over the region and one of the only remaining regional powers that could match him in wealth, army size, and influence had become infuriated over the death of its house head King Anders, they foolishly accused Herald of poisoning him and declared war. The young, overconfident, and stupid son of King Anders has inherited his father's position. He moronically declared war onto Herald Skaneg but then quickly realized he didn't actually know how to lead an army, administrate a kingdom, or how to handle real power. As you can imagine the war ended quickly in Herald's favor and immediately solidified his power over the region.
With little protest from the other houses of the region Herald declared himself Keiser of Skeptoni. At age 34 Herlad had successfully ruled over the region as Keiser. Although the other houses at the time hadn't protested to Herald ruling over them they did get disgruntled and annoyed that they now had someone to serve. Instead of Herald quickly continuing his expansion like he planned at first he decided to remain in the region to solidify his power and make good with his new vassals. By 1803 Herald at age 59 had made his power a reality, vassals served him loyally, peasents loved him and did their duties for him, he had even started a family with his wife Anna. He had a son named Ragnar, and two twin daughters named Aimi and Kari.

Foreign Relations
Nehelenia - Potential Rival: Although we don't have any bad relations with them they could potentially be a rival in our efforts to strengthen our own nation.
Kunenia - Neutral: Although they appear to be under the influence of Nehelenia we would like to have a stronger influence over them as well as a strong alliance.
Bolterian Commonwealth - Neutral/Trade Partners: A clumsy giant that will most likely fall sooner or later for better or worse, 73 million people live in this commonwealth and the world lacks in loyal men not ambitious ones. The Skeptoni people have no strong feelings one way or another about the Commonwealth.
Vitannia - Neutral: Nothing to really worry about, they could be an opposition trade wise but that is a problem for another day.
Fulric - Friendly: Although we are friendly with the entire nation we have quite the bond with their southern citizens and may want to more fully integrate them into our own nation.
Tangaria - Neutral: Our neighbors the Western Tangarians divided from us only by the Aegir Channel (Channel in between Skeptoni and Tangaria) have always been in close contact due to our ancestors being always at the forefront of naval technology and sailing to their borders trading with them or other business. Because of this it may not be totally uncommon if you see a Tangarian who looks more Skeptoni then Tangaria.

Ásatrú - Despite no official religion being declared the majority of people in Skeptoni follow Ásatrú their own kind of Norse Paganism, little is known about the religion to foreigners but those who practice it are very devoted.
The people who follow this religion are extremely tolerant of other religions due to Ásatrú being tied to the lands from which they came from and don't expect foreigners coming to the region to adopt it.
Umm I don't want to discourage you or anything but I think Braiyusal already claimed that island.
And in my opinion I think Braiyusal was already denied because of that landmass that was chosen. Most likely because it serves no real purpose in my opinion for the RP. If you really wanted to make a nation I would do it somewhere in the northwest of the old world.
