The man and the empress

Palais du Chevalier Blanc, Noveaux
16th of Octide
         The Empress cut in and smiled, “Trade and Investment would be most beneficial for both our nations though Noveaux’s foreign policy prohibits us from commencing trade relations with nations that don’t offer freedom of religion to their people.” She said singling out the atheist policies of the Nonfreesonian regime currently. It was something that signaled a serious issue between the two that would need to be overcome in order to proceed to anything of significance not only here at this meeting between states but also in the sense of the future between the two nations. Any agreements would need to be passed through the Imperistarium and they were adamantly behind the law currently in place and would have no problem securing the votes to strike down anything that hindered or sidelined the law.

          “Noveaux has a large exportation sector of agricultural products and while some consumer products would be best purchased from Nonfreesonia, Noveaux believes in an open and free market. As such your companies will be able to compete for contracts and goods throughout Noveaux just like all the others.” Minister Gale said with a smile. This process of opening the market to new competition could sometimes be held up for years though while they cut through the red tape of the rules and regulations that guard the economy of Noveaux. Now was really no difference though Minister Gale preferred to handle said red tape at a later time. For now the Noveans were simply curious of how to deal directly with the religious issue at hand. It was one that had been hammered home to the Noveans by the Grand-Divine, the leader of Noveaux’s faith. She was concerned that the Nonfreesonian government was being exceptionally harsh and was forcing atheism down its citizen’s throats, something that Noveaux politically couldn’t be standing next to or by for that matter.
