The Queen of Illyria is in a dilemma. She intends to conclude a trade agreement that is profitable for her country. The northern state and the southern state come into question as contractual partners. Now her advisory minister is absolutely in favor of a deal with the representative of Southland, while the Queen's beloved husband is absolutely in favor of a treaty with Nordland.
