This isn't a bump, this isn't a bump, this isn't a bump...oh, I give up. This is a blatant bump disguised as diplomacy.
From: New Veritas
To: Kerania
Despite separation from Veritas for many years, Kerania seems to remain Valin in culture, and still worships the Church in a pure, unheretical form. We would like to invite you into the League of Valins, but there's one small problem. Kerania isn't a republic, and though the leadership of Gershtoy Volinin has been successful, when he dies there will probably be strife to decide the next leader.
We propose that after Volinin's death, the people of Kerania elect an Assemblum Popularum Keranium. This will ensure the future political stability of your nation, and with the approval of the other League members, will gain you entrance.
