The End of Slavery in Legio and Peace in The United Imperium

As Operation Cottonmouth raged across the Eastern United States, beating back the belligerent Legio forces, diplomats from The United Imperium, Legio, New France, Novist, RoDevs, the Soviet Federation, Beanstopia, Kolakia, Iberia, and Gran Colombia all worked together in order to come up with a peaceful resolution to the violence that raged across North America. Though the Rodevian forces had incurred devastating effectiveness across the Western United States, and the United Imperium had successfully crippled Legio war efforts in the East, there was still the problem of Beanstopia's own anarchist revolution and furthermore, the larger threat of Soviet hegemony on the world sphere. With all of these problems in mind, prospects for resolution were looking grim.

However, the work of these diplomats was dilligent, and despite the difficulty in pleasing every party involved, the nations slowly continued pusing towards a resolution. As Legio continued to be pushed back at home and abroad, Legio recognized that continuing the war for slavery was futile, and thus sued for peace. In the treaty, Legio finally ended the barbaric practice of slavery, trading it in for a better and more prosperous era of peace and equality. To help rebuild, the allied coalition was ordered to pay a small sum in order to provide reparation to the Legio government. A series of other territorial concessions were made to and from the various nations involved.

In other news, the United Imperium also obtained a territory in the Northern Philipines from Nukeya as part of the treaty, as well as unclaimed coastal territories in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. The existence of these territories is in order to provide counterbalance to the Soviet presence in Alaska. The territories were seen as especially important to obtain in light of the hostilites of Yodza's regime towards Beanstopia. In the immediate aftermath of the peace treaty, Yodza was quoted as saying:

"I'm bored I'm joining the war anyway"

It is unclear why Yodza wants to attack Beanstopia or why Yodza believes they can get away with this, considering the many nations which are part of the JGC vastly outnumber and outgun Yodza, but recent reports suggest that Roosevelt spoke with the Soviet Commisar in order to get a better understanding of just what the deal was over there. Roosevelt would later highlight the importance of making sure that the United Imperium maintained its presence in Asia. He also made sure to emphasize the importance of defending our allies in North America, and the world at large. Though unconfirmed, there were some reports of disgruntled Intelligence Officials stating "Yodza is just their Beanstopia. They both want to play world police when neither of them have the size or firepower to do that." There was no statement from Roosevelt on the topic.
