Arzix-Constantinople Estates
Constantinople, Core, Ryccian Empire

Execution? Some worlds did practice it, but Josefina came from the Core, where all planets had outlawed the practice. To her, such a practice was barbaric, but other planets would see differently.

Regardless, as an economic partner, Stoinia appeared promising. Low crime rate, robust mining sector...yes, to fuel the Ryccian industries. Perhaps a wealth of clients could be found in that nation?

Josefina was aware that she looked tactless, asking questions about economics and policy rather than have an actual conversation. But it was her duty. As Finance Minister, she oversees the state of the Ryccian economy, and thus must work in its interests at all times.

"Interesting. Despite the frontiers being plagued from time to time by pirates and criminal gangs, the Empire lives in a state of relative peace, more so in the developed regions of our nation. Crime rates do vary by world, but often they are indeed low across the realm. Worlds have the right to set their own policies regarding crime and separate penal codes, albeit the central government may override them by laws passed by the legislature and set the national standards of said local penal codes"

"Say, would it be a possibility to open channels of trade between our nations? International trade appears promising indeed"
