The People's Empire makes the counter-point that a trade alliance won't truly unite them in the event of foreign invasion, such as that from the nearby states of Eastmarch, Mournhold, and the Shadowblood Federation. If they are to be strong enough to hold against nations such as those, they will need to be united by more than the simple trade of goods. (It can't be avoided.)

Reich Parkeep argues that it is extremely unlikely that any of those nations would attack them. They said that if anything they should be more worried with those closer to them. Respectfully declining the offer of vassilization again they still offer a trade agreement.
