FIFTH, that proper channels of communication shall be opened between them, so as to facilitate dialogue and future cooperation

I will present this treaty to the Landsraad and alert you when it is signed.
By the way, we really like annexing stuff. If you want to get annexed by us, we can work something out. You get a high noble title, votes in the Landsraad, a chance at eventually becoming Kaiser, and the many benefits of being a Shirerithian citizen. Having my former micronation of Hyperborea annexed by Shireroth got me where I am today! Not that we expect you to take us up on it, no one ever does, but it's part of our foreign policy that we always ask.
