To combat the perceived threat the Emeritan elites saw in the Isurian Generality, they began to discuss several possibilities on what to do with the neighbouring peasant republic. There was universal agreement that no matter what they choose to do, they have to make sure that the hypothetical union would be under the aristocratic Emeritan form of government and not the seemingly mobocratic Isurian form of government. The possibilities that were put forward ranged from invasion plans to plans for colonisation, from enforcing a protectorate status upon the Isurians to a tactful manipulation of the populace so as to encourage many Isurians to support the idea of joining up with the Emeritans. These discussions, known as the "Peasantry Question", lasted for well over a century until the year 1557 when it was decided that the best course of action was to tactfully manipulate the people of the Generality into thinking that there was an imminent invasion coming from mainland Vallos and that the Republic was more than happy to ensure their protection, so long as they unite with the Republic and form a new union. Surprisingly, the gambit worked and by 1561 delegates from both the Republic and the Generality met up to draft a treaty confirming a perpetual union between the two republics. The treaty, known as the [[Nobles' Treaty]] was signed and put into effect on 28 February 1561, forming the Most Serene Republic of Lucrecia, named after the island on which the Emeritan Republic was located upon. | |||
