Thank you for your warm welcome, your Excellency.
To give a detailed description of Caradia would keep us here for days on end, so I will keep the summary brief. Geographically, we are located in the antarctic lands, on the island of Caplona. Though, part of what has brought me here is our recent expansion to our new colony Salòdica, which is the land I represent personally.
We are a rather young nation, internationally speaking, because, though our Duchy is old, we have remained isolated until two years ago, when our Duke Alecsi XIV officially opened our country. His intention, which we continue to work towards achieving, was to establish relations, through trade and military aid, with foreign nations so that they might open their doors to our missionaries.
We have, for most of our history, focused our production on industrial strategic resources, of which we now put aside our surplus for international trade, including coal, oil, steel, and uranium.
We also have decided that we will remain neutral on international affairs so that we might use our military more effectively as a mercenary force. Though, as, again, our nation is quite young, we have had no foreign nations take advantage of our offer, we do allow foreign powers to trade goods or services for the use of a specially-created division of our military.
We have now offered all of these up for the international community to make use of in trade. If you should desire any of our goods or services, we would be happy and open to a cordial trade relationship. In particular, we have heard that some nations in this area of the world have experienced problems with overseas shipping due to piracy issues. If you would wish military escort by some of our ships, we would be glad to negotiate a deal.
