Greetings from the Reindeer Herders

[elkheart]

Greetings Natopia,

The Nation of the Reindeer Herders is a relatively new and young micronation, but we are trying to spread our wings out and establish diplomatic relations with others. We are a country based on a mixture of Arctic and reindeer herding cultures, like the Lapps and Inuit, and we have a hybrid form of tribal government.

I am interested in establishing relations with Natopia if you are likewise interested. Please let me know.

Also feel free to stop by our nation and pay us a visit. Our forums can be found here: deerherders.proboards50.com/

welcome!

Hello Chief Elkheart!

Your nation is very interesting indeed, quite a unique system. Natopia would love to extend its hand of friendship by way of official recognition in the hopes of it growing into a more solid relationship.

[elkheart]

Your Majesty,

I would be more than happy to accept your, and therefore Natopia's, hand in friendship. Do you wish to formalize this in a treaty?

[Nathan]

If you'd like to draw one up, that'd be great.

Is this acceptable?

[Nathan]

Looks fine although I am a bit wary of the diplomatic immunity clause. Generally we do not include such conditions in recognition treaties.

[elkheart]

That can be removed if you wish.

[Nathan]

Thank you for understanding.
