As part of a general policy of containment and defense of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] specifically and Levantia in general, the [[Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]] adopted a policy of gaining land to create a buffer between the growing Caphirian influence and itself while continuing its expansion into the [[Sea of Canete]]. At the end of the [[War of Veltorine Independence]], Urcea acquired a small strip of land on eastern Urlazio with several ports and fortresses in order to protect Urcean interests in the [[Kingdom of Crotona]], and these territories were organized as the Kingdom of [[ | As part of a general policy of containment and defense of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] specifically and Levantia in general, the [[Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea]] adopted a policy of gaining land to create a buffer between the growing Caphirian influence and itself while continuing its expansion into the [[Sea of Canete]]. At the end of the [[War of Veltorine Independence]], Urcea acquired a small strip of land on eastern Urlazio with several ports and fortresses in order to protect Urcean interests in the [[Kingdom of Crotona]], and these territories were organized as the Kingdom of [[Lariana]]. These events created the Caphirian perception of [[Levantine Creep]], sparking several centuries of animosity between Urcea and Caphiria and a source of diplomatic tension between the two countries. | ||

Low level negotiations between Urcea and Caphiria began as early as 1979, with Urcean diplomats interested in including Caphirian investors in projects in [[New Harren]] and other future area in [[Crona]], but were rebuked after the Caphirian Government publicly began a "No-Deals-Without-Urlazio" policy, elucidating no peace agreements without at least a full retrocession of the lands gained by [[ | Low level negotiations between Urcea and Caphiria began as early as 1979, with Urcean diplomats interested in including Caphirian investors in projects in [[New Harren]] and other future area in [[Crona]], but were rebuked after the Caphirian Government publicly began a "No-Deals-Without-Urlazio" policy, elucidating no peace agreements without at least a full retrocession of the lands gained by [[Lariana]] from [[Caphiria]] after the [[Second Great War]] and preferably the cession of all of Lariana. Low level talks began after Urcean diplomats offered to return the island of [[Coribus]] and the strategically vital Ecinis peninsula in southern Lariana. These talks continually escalated until high level negotiations - including between the Apostolic King and [[Imperator]] themselves. Urcean negotiators finally agreed to cede the Ecinis Peninsula to Caphiria following the King's intervention; it is claimed that the King informed negotiators to work with an "assume good faith" attitude towards the Caphirians. | ||

The agreement also included [[Herciana]] within Caphiria's tariff borders and implements economic regulation common between the island and Caphiria. As part of the agreement, Urcea ceased recognition of the [[Veltorine government-in-exile]] and ordered it to leave [[Lariana]], where it had resided since the end of the [[Second Great War]]. In addition to the agreements between Urcea and Caphiria, [[Aciria]], Caphiria, and Urcea signed additional agreements which provided for the withdrawal of Aciria from the [[Levantia and Odoneru Treaty Association]], the end of the conceptual [[Eastern Imperium]], and inclusion of [[Lariana]] and [[Aciria]] within [[Continental Obligations]] in a modified form, while including both nations within the [[Continental Diplomatic Arrangement Organization]]. | ||
