[Kroando]

Communique to the Authorities of the Grand Imperial Alliance

Dear Sirs,

The formation of the Grand Imperial Alliance has come to the attention of the Imperial Koalition of Kroando, and after considerable discussion within the Royal Houses of Kroando, and with the Grand Marshals and Captains of Industry, I have decided to apply the Koalition for entrance in this most esteemed alliance. The Head of State of the Koalition is the Emperor, however the royal line has long been extinct, leaving the Lord Protector as the de facto ruler of the country. Though democratically elected by the citizens of the state (19% of population), the Lord Protector is ensured to be of Royal Blood, as the position may only be held by a member of one of the six Royal Houses, and serves for life. While the Lord Protector is not a hereditary monarch, we hope this will not exempt our nation from admittance into the Alliance.

Evix R. Malthus
Lord Protector of the Koalition of Kroando

It has come to our attention that an Imperialist Alliance has emerged, started by one of the nations that invaded a CAG nation. Although we realize that an imperialist alliance shouldn't arise any threats, and that your nation shouldn't be considered a "dangerous" nation, we have a right to believe that this may perhaps be against CAG at some point. Furthermore, we would like to be informed if the Grand Imperial Alliance has any ant CAG agendas.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to join the Grand Imperial Alliance. My name is Leopold, and I am the first Emperor of Toregion.

As a newly-founded nation, we understand that our actions will be observed for a week. We are willing to be observed and to provide any information that you might need.
I sincerely hope that we will soon receive an answer from you, and also the approval to join this alliance.

Best regards,
