Crevel 4727 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Petyr, a proud Highlander of Hanseti-Ruska and a proud Canonist, applauds for His Royal Majesty Karl III - the protector of all Highlanders. He would personally see this pact as a means to slowly convert the pagans to the one true faith and a tremendous display of prowess and honour for his beloved kingdom. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

argonian 12836 Share Posted September 26, 2022 "In the field of international relations, a sphere of influence (SOI) is a spatial region or concept division over which a state or organisation has a level of cultural, economic, military or political exclusivity. While there may be a formal alliance or other treaty obligations between the influenced and influencer, such formal arrangements are not necessary and the influence can often be more of an example of soft power. Similarly, a formal alliance does not necessarily mean that one country lies within another's sphere of influence. High levels of exclusivity have historically been associated with higher levels of conflict. In more extreme cases, a country within the 'sphere of influence' of another may become a subsidiary of that state and serve in effect as a satellite state or de facto colony," says Stanimar. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstriaS 3683 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Casimira felt a great rush of schadenfreude as the information was relayed to her, and spent several minutes laughing at the misfortunes of the people who had driven her to take her forever vacation in the first place. "Hope you let the King of Haense take you to dinner first," She snorted derisively. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
