Greetings fair people of Bosworth!
I am Peter Ulsnes, and I represent the Kingdom of Cerulea in it's international endeavours. I have come here to establish and affirm a mutually beneficial friendship. If you wish to gain more info on Cerulea, you may visit our website (which is not finished yet), our forum or our wiki.
A wise micronationalist once said that "no treaty is worth another nation's true friendship". While this is true, I feel that it is best with a written confirmation of our friendship. I have reviewed your standard treaty and I find it most satisfactory, but for good measure I will post our own:
I hope that our nations will prosper in unison!
