A long series negotiations with Natopia have proven quite successful with restoring a great deal of our original territory. Slightly more than 50% of our original territory has been restored; as opposed to about 10% at the beginning of the reacquisition process. In addition, this restores 99% of our original western boundary.
This has been ratified in the form of the treaty below:
The new borders, as defined by this treaty, as shown in the map below:
This is indeed a great step forward for Universalis, since we no longer have the problem of having our lands on Tapfer divided into two portions. A contiguous territory over the land will allow us to greater develop our resources and bring about a much stronger state.
We are, of course, indebted to Natopia for their generosity in this matter, and by virtue of this treaty, shall strive to support them, either in their endeavors, or when they may find themselves in need of assistance.
This has been ratified in the form of the treaty below:
