The Sirikwanese media has revealed that Dino, Bolitic and Sirikwanese representatives have been holding talks on Yeng for months. The secret talks have been held to negotiate a peace treaty between the DTA and Bolitic Confederacy... but more important for Emperor Melson a bail out for the crumbling Bolitic economy.
The Bolitic economy is in tatters following disastrous wars (both external and internal) and demographic pressures. Bolitic shipyards have been inactive for over a year and unemployment and shortages are causing unrest. One Dino commentator said that the Bolitic could be one failed harvest or natural disaster away from total collapse.
The Dinos have offered a 10 billion zark (about 18 billion Bolitic koleks) bail out as a "reward" for a comprehensive peace treaty including a formal declaration of peace made by both Dino and Bolitic emperors. Talks would also begin on an economic treaty between the DTA and Bolitic.
Senator Cruggson, when asked about the talks, said that people should expect some sort of announcement later in the year.
