[SIZE=4][b][COLOR=#ff4d4d]Diplomacy[/COLOR][/SIZE][/b] [b]Prospect[/b] Starting early this new year, Amanatan VTOL patrols over the central continent have increased significantly. Elements of the seventh and ninth armoured battlegroups and the eleventh combined battlegroup have been conducting exercises respectively in the Salem Wastes, the Tottori Desert and the dry tangle covered Emerald Brink. They've been spotted with quite a few military engineers and civilian surveyors as well and many speculate these actions could be prelude to Amanatan extension into these largely unoccupied and unclaimed areas. While this is provocative, it is questionable whether anyone on Prospect could do anything about it.
[u]Republic of Parawan[/u] https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/20246535/ Amanata is looking to seal a trade treaty as well as to conduct more cultural exchanges between the two nations starting with $20 for museum exchanges and maybe a concert or two. Councillor Avonlea Aleida and one of the foremost directors in the Amanatan OCMT will be speaking/guest lecturing about collective orbital defense at the Parawan Military College and promoting military exchanges. The ultimate goal is for Parawan Senate to endorse an Amanatan joint base at Laguna which is of course Not Directed At Any Particular Country.
[u]Julian Republic[/u] Amanata is also interested in a trade treaty with Julian as well as military exchanges seeing as we both have destroyer navies and Amanata will be investing in static defenses in space much like Julian. The two countries have some good overlap in naval military doctrine. Avonlea Aleida is also interested in speaking at their military academy perhaps next month about collective orbital defense and balance of power if they are amenable and the arrangements could be made.

[i]Nekomi Academy[/i] (University) Nekomi Academy was founded in the high colonial era as simply the University of Amanata and was even more boringly renamed the State Cultural and Religious Studies Institute for a period after the Collapse. In a period of nearly two centuries it has gone from a third rate political checkbox tick to one of the most renowned centers of learning in human space. Unlike all of its peers in that short list however, Nekomi Academy focuses entirely on the arts and humanities.
