Malivia: Delegations from both the Vascanian Empire and the Deltarian Federation have, after months of negotiations and continued small scale skirmishes, agreed to a peace agreement named the "Malivian Peace Accord". The deal, carefully constructed by diplomats from both sides, seeks to both underline the recklessness of Vascania and make Vascania bear responsibility for it while fullfiling Vascanian hopes of Deltaria withdrawing its military assets from the region. According to the Deltarian negotiator Rudolf Jelínek the deal consists of several clauses which will take into effect immediately, as both sides have already ratified the accord.
The deal, as released to the public, is as follows.
1. Vascania lifts all blockades, no fly zones and other measures that would hinder free travel and free trade
2. Vascania will demine the regions they have mined, if needed Deltaria can help with its minesweepers
3. Deltaria withdraws its military assets from both Liore and Medinian territory and waters
4. All sides agree that its the right of each sovereign nations to conduct deals, diplomacy and have military cooperation as long as it doesnt directly threaten the sovereignty of others
5. Vascania agrees to pay a monetary settlement to both Liore and Medina for the economic damage hitting those nations
6. Prisoners of war are exchanged and thus released
secret part of the deal (Not publicly known)
7. Deltaria condemns but accepts the execution of SDI agents using its espionage laws to justify the lack of effort in retrieving them
8. Deltaria agrees to avoid Vascanian national waters and to limit military sales to Medina and Liore to solemnly defensive sales. Diplomatically and economically Deltaria will continue to pursue a relationship with both countries
Upon the signing of the deal the two delegations gave eachother handshakes, celebrating the end of the small scale but consequential conflict. Just an hour after the signatures were put on paper the Deltarian 1st Dovani Battle Group and Nemec Carrier Strike Group set sail within international waters on their way to return to Deltaria. The earlier damaged Deltarian cruiser has until now not been repaired and was thus towed behind the battle group back to Deltarian port. The Aerial Forces have also commenced a operation to return Deltarian aircraft to Deltaria, with it being done gradually over the course of the next few months to ensure that all aircraft arrive back safely. Vascania has reportedly lifted both the no-fly zone and the naval blockade, returning most of its ships back into national waters following the deal. While Demining of sea lanes has yet to commence the Vascanian government has announced that it will begin the process within the week, warning civilian ships to avoid certain mined areas for the time being.
The Accords mark the end of a conflict that had the potential of escalating into full blown global war. With the Zoo Alliance ready to stand behind Vascania there was a great risk of escalation involved. In the end the conflict stayed small but has indeed changed the power balance in the region. With Liore and Medina further alienated from Vascania and Deltaria getting more influence in these countries. Furthermore the peace deal has also raised concerns of political unrest in Vascania itself, as the Empress had promised a "descisive conflict" but ended up conceding on a number of issues.
Deltaria on its end has reportedly realized the vulerability it find itself in. While it has more allies then it historically had it is still considered to be surrounded and isolated on the international stage. While the country boasts an impressive military apparatus it wont be able to only rely on itself to maintain its influence. Inner cricles within the Foreign Ministry suggest that a new foreign policy initiative needs to take shape. Furthermore the KDU parliamentary faction, now the smallest parliamentary group, has called for a dramatic increase in military spending and a new foreign policy initiative to go with it in order to, "grow the economy, strengthen international relations and finally commit to the Three branch Supremacy doctrine" it has called on the government to take action in this regard, also proposing the construction of a second Nemec Carrier, citing the vulnerabilities of Deltaria shown during the recent Vascanian conflict. With Yingdala building its own carrier Deltaria should make sure it stays the foremost military and geopolitical power on the planet according to the KDU. Deltaria's committment to TASN has also come into question. With calls from within political circles to create a new more binding alliance. Vascania was a founding member of TASN but has drifted closely to the Zoo Alliance, with KDU politicans thus now calling for a withdrawal from TASN and the creation of a new geopolitical bloc.
