Chapter 45: A Past Lover

"So the rulers of country J are as simple as their country. They have been encouraging tourism but cautiously."

"And because Leland is a small nation much like country B, you want both to benefit from each other without feeling threatened?"

"Yes. While my presence in other first-world countries is because of my financial portfolio which they extend to Leland, as a nation, we are far behind these countries. If they were to feel threatened by Leland, they would not hesitate from sabotaging us. We've already seen that with Country U's war."

"So, while it is good to have support from larger nations, you want smaller independent countries to grow as well. Help maintain the balance. And not attract unwanted attention."
