1) The Shirerithian Embassy in Ashkenatza has always believed the existence of a Trans-Elwynn Autonomous Region to be an internal Ashkenatzan affair. It makes no claims on Shirerithian land, but rather is a subdivision of Ashkenatza with significant autonomy. This does no damage to Shireroth, and indeed it is probably to our advantage to have a "buffer state" between ourselves and the fast-growing power to our west. However, Max Rosenthal of Ashkenatza has mentioned the possibility of ethnic Elw living in the region. If the Ashkenatzim are interested, it may be an opportunity for cultural cooperation with them to ensure this minority is respected and to help design their state. However, any overture we make in this direction should be clearly phrased as a project to benefit both nations, not as a threat, a demand, or any other claim of Shireroth's to have any business in Ashkenatzan affairs. Also, although I will need Mr. Rosenthal's confirmation, I believe it would be more politically correct to refer to our neighbors as "Ashkenatzi" rather than "Jewish".
2) Are you sure that Ardashir of Alalehzamin is the right person to send to Amokolia as an ambassador? He and Jess didn't get along very well last time I checked. Or are you hoping that the power in Amokolia is being wielded more by Ryan Caruso these days? (Also, while we're making a wish list of Amokolian territory, the people of Bjorngard if nowhere else still remember that Lesser Automatica was for years a Shirerithian island. Just sayin'
)3) This seems like a good way to provoke a crisis with Ashkenatza, and a terrible way to do anything else. I oppose this measure.
). The Batavians aren't too happy to install an autonomous region for the already integrated Jews in the Batavian community and there is little support to give the land (back).

), I think he meant Gustaaf. A border conflict in the good way... not the bad way (gives us something to talk about, etc.).
