Fontainebleau Accords

The Fontainebleau Accords are a series of high-level diplomatic negotiations hosted by the Federation of Alduria and the Wechua Nation in early 1691 AN. It was considered a major foreign policy and economic victory for the Lavaud administration, which was struggling with a deteriorating political situation at home with the continued delay of the general elections initially scheduled for 1689 AN.

Background

The idea for a major "concert of Eura" was initially proposed by the well-known Euran business magnate Maximinus Kerularios, who held the intricate interlocking commercial roles of CEO of Kerularios & Company, Director of Keltian Operations for the ESB-Jörmungandr Group, Inc., Imperial Senator of Constancia and concurrent member of the Federal Constituent Assembly of the Alduro-Wechua Federation. In a later interview, Mr. Kerularios recounted that he received the insight while contemplating the timeless, tantalizing beauty of Eura, one long weekend evening at the penthouse suites of The Insula Aqaba. Invitations were jointly issued under the seals of the Government of the Federation of Alduria and the Wechua Nation, Kerularios & Company, and the ESB Group on 21.II.1691 AN.

The Surenshah, amused to have received the invitations at this moment, dispatched the redoubtable Shahbanu-uz-Spādānām, his indomitable mother-in-law who had led the resistance to Constancia and Raspur during the Second Euran War.

Zeed meanwhile, distracted by the need to commence elections for a new First Secretary of the Union State, dispatched a senior member of the All-Union Revolutionary Front, supported by the director of the country's fledgling armaments industry.

Proceedings

It was decided by the organizers that the picturesque location of the Aldurian city of Fontainebleau would be a perfect, peaceful backdrop for such a convocation of immense gravitas. The city was easily accessible via port and airport, away from the crowds, protestors, and traffic of the Aldurian capital. The city was also easily secured and near industrial sites such as the Ahvaz Auto Works, and very near the postcard-perfect beach resort town of Ciudad Santa. This was also a deliberate move by the Alduro-Wechua government to draw further attention, tourism, and investment to the declining southern Aldurian region, which, despite its relative geographic location to the Imperial State of Constancia, had been neglected by investor capital as of late, due to the immense pull of better investment returns in Santander and elsewhere in the recent expansions of the New Prosperity Plan.
