People of Mercury, I bring greetings from the Brettish Isles [known there by the pseudonym of Arthur Rivers]. I have been asked to treat with Mercury in regards to establishing formal relations and to discuss our plans for expansion in order to establish a chain of ports able to both defend our isles and form a supply chain to our main colonial outpost at Port Impregnable.
We also wish to broach Mercury's claim to Nova England, as we too consider ourselves heirs to that once mighty Empire. It should be understood that we have no intention of reclaiming all of Nova England's old lands - most of which has already been claimed. We do, however, intend to establish a small port at the small remnant strip of land between Ergonia and Mercury.
In order to prevent any contention or disagreement over these claims we are approaching this openly with Mercury and Ergonia in the hopes of formalizing a friendly relationship with both countries.
I look forward to working with Mercury on these matters.
Sincerely,
Arthur Rivers
Lord of Willowshire
The Brettish Isles
