We write you in troubled times. As we understand, the Great Nation of Fosbak has rendered inoperable your fleets from which to import and export necessary goods in times where you may very well need them. In lieu of these awful conditions, we are writing to the Kingdom of Dorist as a reminder of both our Neutrality, but in addition a decision made not lightly by both Trade Minister Jurgenn as well as the Crown itself.
The Kingdom of Genstadt will allow the Kingdom of Dorist and all merchants, traders and contractors hereafter to sell their wares in Genstadter ports and may sell their wares onto Genstadter Merchant Marine ships for reasons of virtue and political safety alike. While remaining fervently neutral, Genstadt knows and understands unequivocally the importance of trade. Dorist goods may be sold onto ships flying the Genstadter flag.
In these uncertain times, Genstadt is also willing to finance any necessary actions of lending up to Two Hundred Million Gens at an annual interest of seven point five percent. Please do not hesitate to write the Ministry of Finance for further inquiries if such an arrangement may interest the Dorist Kingdom.
Minister of Trade, Matthieu dur Gesstangtunn Kingdom of Genstadt

I hope this spring finds you well. There are a great many things afoot in Europe these past many months. It has been several long years since we last spoke, but know that my love for you and Dorist has always remained. I am writing you and praying this document finds you in time. Word has reached me that Genstadt, under Foreign Ambassador Klaas-Jan Groot Koerkamp made a declaration of neutrality in regards to Dorist and Stevata. He has since found leave to the vilayets of Schulenburg and will no longer be available for arraignments and dictates in the Genstadter Embassy in Talfist. Instead, know that Genstadt has chosen it's own path, a new path.
The Kingdom of Genstadt, as witnessed by God, declares today and forever a friend of the Kingdom of Dorist and will instead request a Dorist delegation be sent to the Genstadter vilayet of Kluugen, near the Dorist border, to discuss further details of this political arrangement. The Genstadt state hopes that in lieu of war, concessions and agreements can be discovered that will be mutual to every involved party. I am dispatching a new Foreign Ambassador Karst-Jan Rijntjes to Talfist to be at your service. He is well qualified, having been a member of the Genstadter Eerste Kamer (State Senate) since the 1730's and speaks quite fluent Dorist.
With love, Queen Margriet I of Genstadt
