FerdinAllan Optimistic About Future
The Enquirer caught up with our illustrious leader, ArchDuke Franz FerdinAllan, as he was relaxing at the Monarch Retreat of Camp Heinrich, to discuss current Austria's plans for the future.
The Austrian Enquirer caught up with the leader of our fine country while enjoying a weekend in Camp Heinrich, Trieste.
"Well, as you can see, there's not a whole lot to worry about," he comments with a grin. "Things are on track in the Balkans, and the border disputes in the North and the West were simple misunderstandings. I've Spoken with Tsar Jags and Il Duce himself, and everything is perfectly fine."
The discussion then turned towards Austria's involvement in the Balkans. Currently regiments of the Austrian Royal Guard are on Ambassador duty, receiving audiences with both Albania and Serbia. Negotiations with the respective leaders indicates a strong possibility of them joining our great nation.
"Well, naturally the Serbian and Albanian people have plenty to contribute to our country," FerdinAllan remarked. "And they stand to gain a lot of additional influence in their region by associating themselves with a world power like Austria."
When asked about the Soviet and Turkish movement to the East, FerdinAllan simply states, "The Tsar and Sultan are merely doing what they feel is best for their country. Naturally if you can convince smaller nations to ally with your country, it breaks down barriers of local trade, strengthens the economy, and secures resources. It also strengthens their position when it comes to more international dealings. In the end all nations will benefit."
We at the Enquirer would like to thank the ArchDuke for taking time out of his weekend off to see us.

In other news, enlistment in the armed forces has increased, with many people feeling it would be best to be prepared in case a neighbouring country decides to make claims on Austrian soil. 100,000 volunteers have joined in the past month. Of that, about 80% are women. For ArchDuke and Country I suppose.
