Summary
Thanks particularly to the efforts of El Fiji Grande and existing treaties between International Northwestern Union (INWU) and The Rejected Realms (TRR) as well as Wintreath and TRR, it was decided that a treaty between INWU and Wintreath would be beneficial to both regions. Unfortunately, the treaty was never active and over time INWU became less active, did away with its government, and became a roleplay region. For those reasons, it was eventually decided to repeal the treaty.
