Prior to the war, Arcerion had just concluded several years of direct combat operations against Ardmore, during which its Armed Forces were unsuccessful in their attempt to uphold the Ardmori Royal Family and prevent the Kingdom of Ardmore from collapsing. As part of the withdraw, Arcerion helped resettle thousands of Ardmori citizens and was undergoing a significant economic and cultural post-war boom from both the Ardmori intelligentsia that had emigrated, as well as the significant investments from wealthy Ardmori businesspeople who fled the new communist regiment of the Ardmori Cooperative. | Prior to the war, Arcerion had just concluded several years of direct combat operations against Ardmore, during which its Armed Forces were unsuccessful in their attempt to uphold the Ardmori Royal Family and prevent the Kingdom of Ardmore from collapsing.

By 1934, Arcerion was a modern, industrial state with a strong, diversified economy and was considered to be one of the fastest growing nations in Crona. By this time, The Cape had a newly formed socialist government, and there was no normalized diplomatic relationship between [[Kurst Capital Region|Kurst]] and [[Cape Town]]. The Cape's new government was seeking to engage with larger economies to help export raw natural resources and finished goods to help boost its flailing economy that was struggling to compete with its northern Neighbor, [[Paulastra]], and was becoming increasingly threatened by the Arcer economy, which was set to collapse most native industry in The Cape by the mid-1940s due to its pro-business and free market policies. On New Year's Day the Cape prepared a delegation to travel to the now wartime capital of Caphiria, | By 1934, Arcerion was a modern, industrial state with a strong, diversified economy and was considered to be one of the fastest growing nations in Crona.

=== Caphirian Affair === | |||
The Capetian delegation depart by seaplane in April of 1935, arriving in Caphiria two weeks later after engine trouble forced them to remain in Pelaxia for several days for engine repairs. Upon arriving, the delegation offered to enter into an alliance with Caphiria, from which Caphiria would be free to use Capetian bases and also stage troops in the South of Crona. Strategically, the Cape allows Caphiria to place significant pressure on St. Brendan's Strait, effectively jeopardizing the Western approaches to the Odoneru Ocean and preventing Urcea from receiving a significant amount of trade. In return, the Capetians would receive a significant amount of industrial planners and civil engineers from Caphiria to help mold their economy along socialist lines with expertise provided from their new Sarpedonian allies. Concurrent to this, Caphiria would send several battalions of troops to help train the Capetian Armed Forces, which were now | |||
The new communist government of the Cape makes successful contact with Caphiria in May 1935 and the two sides begin negotiations. An alliance of convenience, not unlike Caphiria's commitments in Alshar and Audonia, is on the table, as Caphiria is very interested in the strategic utility and pressure that the Cape and Vachena could exert on Vallos. Submarine bases in the Cape would also allow Caphiria, at least in theory, to heavily disrupt allied reinforcement efforts to their western colonies and would allow significant control over the western Odoneru. The Cape is primarily interested in weapons. Urcean intelligence learns of these developments by the end of May and forwards them on to Kurst. The Arco government issues a formal letter of protest but bides its time. | The new communist government of the Cape makes successful contact with Caphiria in May 1935 and the two sides begin negotiations.
