A View of the Border Connecting Galeae and Vienland

While the WBEA has proven a strong contributor to high economic performance in member states, it has struggled in its efforts to expand to include other states beyond the four already included. With rumors that states such as Kave and Ostland may be considering joining the agreement one WBEA official made the audacious prediction that by 1625 we may be seeing an economic area stretching from "Halvadag to Krasnograd".

The claim is indeed a great one, the two states in question being very distant, one in Lanlania and the other being on the far side of Severyane. Furthermore, the WBEA has yet to expand to any nations outside of the four founding members, Florinthus, Galeae, Oslanburg, and Vienland. For the better part of a decade, expansion of the economic area has seen roadblocks in the form of nations refusing to work with states like Oslanburg and Galeae, who were gripped by controversial governments. With the dissolution of these governments and the reinstating of true democratic rule there are now inroads being made to include other nearby nations into the WBEA.

The official, Florinthian Steven Coolidge, has been a WBEA official since 1578, when he was sent by the Blanckenship administration. He says the ultimate goal of the WBEA is to have an economic area that binds all of Brigidna together for the greater good. "Prosperity does not just belong to us. It's something we can all reach together by tearing down the barriers that separate us." He said before making his claim.

Government issues aside, there is no surprise that places like Kave and Ostland are considering joining. With the formation of the WBEA, certain restrictions and tariffs were put in place for external trade, and this has put difficulty on the economies of the small nations. Ostland in particular gets much of its business from nearby Oslanburg. Special rates were introduced for Kave and Ostland early on, to ensure the economic impact was lessened, but not to the extent it would be under the same economic area.

No decisions have been made yet, but a WBEA delegation has already visited both states to discuss the potential for their joining the agreement and to make possible negotiations. No announcements have been made, however.
