Essotori - Olympia Relations

= Essotori - Olympia Relations =
Essotori - Olympia Relations are the bilateral relations between Essotori and Olympia.
== History ==
=== Prior to Minachian Rule ===
=== Under Minachia ===
=== Early Essotori ===
Relations moderately improved after the abandonment of Angellia, in Sereine by Cultist forces, and this thaw continued after Essotori was formally established. Essotori merchants generally flaunted their wealth within Olympia, especially around rural territories, using the degrading term 'Governor' to refer to the Grand Duchess, implying the continued legitimacy of the Emperor in Minachia over Olympia. However, the two remained fairly civil, and Essotori remained relatively consistent in it's dispassionate acceptance of the Olympian Matriarchy. This lack of overt condemnation was due to the Cult's lack of exclusionary policies with regards to power, Queens were fairly common throughout the Cult's history. The Cult attempted to gain followers in Olympia, though this was generally unsuccessful, and after the Essotori - Sereine War, most conversions missions were halted on financial grounds. 
=== 18-19th Centuries ===
The democratisation of Olympia was looked upon with contempt in Essotori, and the government officially refused to trade with the new Olympian democratic regime until the conclusion of the Lorraine War. In the meantime, Essotori concentrated primarily on industrialising itself, without falling behind its rivals, or to democracy. This was achieved through the melding of aristocracy and enterprise, though several skirmishes and crises occured during this period, the Lorraine War bought a new era of high relations to both nations. In the post war era, Essotori began to look upon Olympia far less spitefully, and the nation saw some investment. 
=== Modern Day ===
Essotori and Olympia remain cold towards each other, though by Essotori standards, this is fairly positive. Many within the aristocracy view Olympia as a holiday destination, as they have the privilege of leaving. Olympians were added to the approved nations list in 2015, under the Premiership of John Livingstone. Secretly, many libertine Essotori noble ladies indulge in the hedonistic matriarchy's culture, engaging in human trafficking and other dark activities.
