Quote:After much bloodshed and years of civil unrest, the Imperial and Republican Kusari governments arranged talks for a joint concession. Both sides believe that any further continuation of the war is abhorrent and an unnecessary weakening of Kusari amidst the uneasy presence of expanding neighbors. Although it is a hard political change for many to swallow, the fleets and separated civilians were reunified under a single House. Constitutional conventions are still underway, paving a road for Kusari's monarchic emperor and the newer democratic parliament to coexist and share a balance of power.
Indeed, there are many concerned third parties. While Liberty and Bretonia can breathe a sigh of relief as the chances for the Kusari Naval Forces to align with the Gallic Royal Navy in their conflict are greatly diminished, Gallia has become suspicious that this move might soon mean the end of its vital external trade route going through Rishiri. Whereas the Hogosha and Golden Chrysanthemums will both thrive – albeit quite differently – on House Kusari's gradual shift back towards its grand traditional ways, the hunted Farmers Alliance fear that their unlawful status will not change, and the Blood Dragons feel more challenged by the now stronger central government, yet they are not backing down. Neither is Rheinland, ever interested in its unilateral expansion into Sigma-15 and Sigma-21.
So what's the actual situation now? What happened to the Exiles, have they just all been integrated into the KNF? What about dissidents? How does the balance of power between Samura and Kishiro change now? How exactly is the government of Kusari going to change? What is their approach towards Gallia?
