[10000 Islands Foreign Affairs]

The Treaty of Runes and Tacos

10000 Islands and the Realm of Balder are proud to jointly announce the ratification of the Pact of Runes and Tacos. The Pact was officially approved by both the Council of Nine and the Storting respectively with overwhelming majorities, and came into effect yesterday.

This marks a new era in relations between our two regions, and is a historic moment for us both. Although we have been concurrently present on the global stage for over 10 years, previous relations between our regions have been marked by indifference at best. 10000 Islands played no role in the early history of Balder, unlike its contemporaneous sinker, but nonetheless this has not put us off forging relations between our regions, looking forwards rather than backwards. The recent shift towards formalising ties between our entities marks the culmination of a period of modernisation and adaption in both our regions, and is a reflection of the open-minded and forward looking agenda that permeates both our regional cultures.

The Pact provides for mutual recognition and protection between both 10000 Islands and Balder, prevention of hostile acts against each of us, and ensures the construction and maintenance of embassies to further interregional ties and provide a framework for future relations.

10000 Islands would like to thank Balder for their support, advice and goodwill throughout the negotiations. And Balder would also like to thank 10000 Islands for their enthusiasm and cooperation during negotiations, which demonstrates the potential of this pact between our regions.

The Pact will be the foundation upon which both nations will build a prosperous future, based in mutual co-operation, openness and friendship.

Signed,

Kazaman, Statsminister of Balder
North East Somerset, Delegate and King of Balder

Hakketomat, Chief Executive of 10000 Islands
Markanite, Delegate and Chief Executive Emeritus of 10000 Islands
