```Balder Foreign Update -- Fall Term 2022

Treaties

The Modern Gameplay Compact

On August 12th, Balder joined Europeia, The North Pacific, The Pacific, and The West Pacific in announcing the Modern Gameplay Compact (MGC). The MGC provides a framework for mutual recognition and defense between signatories and their Frontiers. The compact is a significant leap forward for the Independent/independent/unaligned sphere, and reflects the deepening ties between our regions in recent months.

August also saw the strengthening of ties between Balder and Lazarus, marked by the adoption of the Treaty of Alfhelm. Lazarus has proven time and time again that they are a dependable friend and ally, and we are extremely pleased to see this relationship continue to develop.

Don't worry about it. How have you been?

[Markanite]

Plenty to keep me busy! I'm good though, we've an amazing team here.

Are you up to much for Halloween?

[unintra]

Besides school?, not much. Besides, we don't celebrate halloween, but my sister's going to a haunted house with her friends. So that's nice.

[Markanite]

unintra, I hope she enjoys it! I'm not doing too much for Halloween either.

[unintra]

She did! Thanks!
