Excellent work gentleman! With the British on their knees, your combined might and reciprocated aggression is better used for eradicating the British and all they stand for. I understand as pirates we don't hold much diplomatic sway in the National arena but I hope our assisted efforts in defending the Swedish ports in the area, and keeping our end of the bargain in any, and all agreements, still place us in a more positive light. Thereon - because a few of us haven't been on as much - I would like to reiterate that as informally agreed, AUSNZ have no plans in taking any ports in the area, and offer our shipbuilding and mercenary services in return for the ingredients to craft ships to our mutual benefit. Furthermore, we are still up for honourable PvP in the area; whether this be amongst ourselves or against nations disadvantageous to our goals. Lastly, I'll take this opportunity to report that a non-affiliated pirate clan have made camp in Island Harbour with the intentions of harassing the nations of Sweden and Denmark. As pirates, we have no ability to control their prerogatives, but hope that should any hostilities arise they do not cast aspersions on the categorically honourable intentions of the AUSNZ clan. May the winds always be in your favour… Clink
