The Post-War Future of Franklin County

If you are a follower of Franklin County, you are aware that the Treaty of Soltris has been signed, officially ending the Franklinite-Soltrian War. In it are provisions for future economic development and aid for the Soltrians, as detailed in Update 170. But what of the post-war future? I would like to announce here that Franklin's foreseeable future will be connected to these points:

• More involvement in AFDES and the future Alliance Defense Network.
• Development of Franklin Estuary into a more planned city than the rest of Franklin
• Expansion of the Patrician Holding Company into Franklin Estuary and around the world
• Implementation of Agonite fusion technologies
