Despite determining from the histories of other nations that those in power often intermarry with others in power to combine their strength, Aethelian leaders have decided to stop offering to procreate with the leaders of other nations after this method has failed to improve diplomatic relations. It has not yet been determined why this method is failing, though it's suspected that the offer has not been made the right way. It also hasn't been determined how "marriage" and "monogamy" somehow work in other nations, but Aethelia intends to study this.
