Wow, a treaty in my first/second week in office! Clearly I must have done all this work all by myself, good job me
Absolutely no input from [mention]Zukchiva[/mention] [mention]GioSivo[/mention] [mention]Mangegneithe[/mention] [mention]Aurora Yukihime[/mention] at all, nope. (In all seriousness it was pretty much all them, it was basically completed by the time I arrived)
The Alstroemerian Commonwealths (AC) is a group of regions (among them include the Glorious Nations of Iwaku, Eientei Gensokyo, and Yggdrasil), and we’ve become good friends over a while due to our partnership in the Consortium and wish to pursue further relations, culminating in this here treaty.
Without further ado, here are the Alstroemerian-East Pacifican (ALPACA) Accords:
