News of this potental treaty causes a spike in arms development and sales. As private arms manufacturers use it as a selling point, Senate is moved to purchase a full new batallion of Primus Tanks, while replacing older models.
For the first time Vulpae's merchant marine is joined by a professional navy as the need for warships kicks into high gear. Hoping to bridge the gap between large scale navy and merchant marine with a stop gap measure while new ships are under production.
On the Civilan level, the Technoligical sprawl of factories, parks, reserves, powerplants, and more begin to spread ouward from the cities beginning to cover the face of Vulpae in shimmering silver, green, and blue as the population explodes when the first advanced genetic and bionic technology ready for mass consumption by colonists.From the Desk of External Ministery 5: We will not allow Rissenland transport ships carrying armed troops through our waters, nor allow air transport through our airspace. Many of our people are tourists to Angelia Island, and these military measures are a threat to their wellbeing. If Angelia Island desires military assistance there are ample methods to aquire it without allowing outside forces to occupy their island, outside forces who are overtly hostile to other peoples way of life. including ours, and would increase military tension in a region that has untill now, been devoid of it.
Several of the new BNK-R Drone platforms move into position to block military traffic to Angelia Island, they are followed by a small compliment of merchant marine (Private Military Contractors) sub destroyer escorts. They do not however interfere with commerical traffic to and from the island, and permit Hercus transports into the airspace.

Recon drones will be in the sky 24/7 to make sure our ports are safe."
"This is good comrade, I will set up a meeting with representatives of Vulpae and attempt to deescalate the situation. I will be firm though- If Angelia Island signs the treaty we will not back off." she says before they salute one another and return to their desks eagerly awaiting the Angelian response.
Yugo-Austria declares that if Angelia is attacked, Yugo-Austria will come to the help of Angelia. However, if Angelia attacks first, Riserland will be helped by Yugo-Austria.
