After the agreement was signed, Hector nodded approvingly. - Excellent, this document will serve as a great foundation for the formation of our alliance. As a sign of good will, our organization is ready to provide you with assistance in supplying weapons and improving your technological level: Rex Ventorum possesses the most powerful military industry and is also a regional leader in scientific and technological development. Now, regarding our further plans, do you see anyone among our neighbors who could become a potential ally?

-Well, I am glad that we were able to agree on such favorable terms in such a short time, - noted the dictator. - I don't like to drag out negotiations. As for your question, you better ask Richard. - He glanced at Quasard's assistant.
-Yes, yes, of course. - The advisor, who had been wiping his glasses with a handkerchief until that moment, quickly put the handkerchief away in his inside jacket pocket. - As for the neighbors, esteemed Hector, you should probably consider The Theocracy of Shaylion as the only more or less suitable state with common borders with Rex Ventorum. They are currently experiencing a serious economic crisis and may be interested in external financial assistance. The question is whether it is worth taking on such a burden... Or, for example, The Sultanate of Ahasan, which is confidently rising from its knees. I don't know what the current sentiments are in this country, but a large share of private industry may indicate that you can probably find common ground. Or, on the contrary, you will not be able to.
-As for the countries located in the immediate vicinity of Quasardastan's borders, - continued the enthusiastic advisor, - I find it difficult to advise you on anything, the situation, to put it mildly, is very unfavorable. - Richard sighed sadly. - However, I think that in Ventorum, you are much better informed about such matters, yes.
