Quatron and Sercia Conclude Land Pact

VISHEBA April 12, 1912 - Foreign Minister Vishesh Bhatnagar, Duke of Bhatnagistan, CQE concluded a deal with the Sercian government to purchase an extension of the protectorate Bhatnagistan. Mr. V said that the purchase was driven by a desire to bring all Bhatnagistanis together under the domestic authority of Bhatnagistan and the protection of the Quatron Empire. Sectarian violence has plagued the tribal regions of Sercia, and the representatives of the Bhatnagistani tribes sought to join Quatron to end their violence. The new land purchase approximately doubles the size of the protectorate. Speculation is rampant that the current move is part of an effort to upgrade Bhatnagistan to provincial status.
