Editing Lauchenoirian unification (section)

==Negotiations==
Discussion of unification was first proposed by the authorities of [[South Fleura]] to the leaders of [[Yervia]], [[Ecanta]] and [[Costeno]]. The initial proposal of unification was suggested due to the threat from monarchies and monarchist groups to the republican states in the area. After it transpired that [[Melissa]] did not wish to re-unify with [[Zongongia]], they were invited to join discussions alongside [[Ulinaria]]; a Valahandian colony that was historically part of Yervia before the Valahandian invasion. [[Aeluria]] was invited to join negotiations, but repeatedly refused.

By 1922, the six states involved in negotiations had agreed a framework to create the Federation of [[Lauchenoiria]] and had agreed to sign a new constitution unifying the country. However, the fledgling Lauchenoirian state also wished to incorporate Aeluria as well as settle the previously-uninhabited [[Butterfly Island]]. The refusal of the Aelurians to enter negotiations led to the decision to attack and take Aeluria by force.
