December 12, 2021 Public Release: Withdrawal from the Economic Cooperation Agreement Following consultation and discussion among the cabinet, and by the grace of His Excellent Majesty the Leader, the Nationalist Gold Union will be unilaterally withdrawing from the Economic Cooperation Agreement (ECA), effective immediately. Although the intentions of the ECA were noble, the pact has failed to prove beneficial or productive to the interests of the Nationalist Gold Union. The Nationalist Gold Union originally signed onto the ECA in order to improve trade relations and reset diplomatic relations with the other signatories. However, many of the actions of the other signatories, specifically Miltonia and Panjal, combined with restrictions imposed by the ECA, have greatly limited the scope of diplomacy of the Nationalist Gold Union in regards to the actions committed by these states. The Nationalist Gold Union will be looking to forming closer economic ties to Europe and Africa from now on. Crawford Dabney Union Minister of Foreign Affairs Nationalist Gold Union |
