'''End of the Great American War'''

Following the Texan Eastern Offensive in July during the [[Great American War]], Cascadian and Vermont relations were strained. By the time Farosh become Vice President, the Vermont government was engaged in negotiations with Texan leadership in an effort to end the war. No agreement had been reached, and an unconditional surrender by Vermont had been rejected. A ceasefire between the two nations had held for several weeks, however, despite sporadic hunting from Texans. Meanwhile, President Mikesworldus and his cabinet largely avoided or ignored the war, instead delegating the authority to negotiate a settlement to Princeling, who sought a treaty separate from the OFN and Cascadia. With anti-war sentiment soaring, Texas seized the opportunity to pressure Vermont into agreeing to a treaty that would grant significant concessions, including territorial loss and a guarantee to leave the OFN. Amid these negotiations, Farosh was invited to the group chat were it was taking place, thrown into the deep-end of diplomacy with a nation and situation he was entirely unfamiliar with.

On 26 August, Farosh reached out to the Cascadian Secretary of State, [[Dracnoian]]. Their discussions were positive, and focused largely on improving the relationship between the two nations. Dracnoian also offered advice on how to strengthen and improve Vermont's democracy, which remained a keen interest of Farosh's. Days later, Farosh spoke with [[Fierymatter]], the Cascadian Secretary of Defence, who cautioned that the Vermont government should carefully consider pursuing a treaty with Texas independently, or in co-ordination with Cascadia. During this period, Farosh remained active within the OFN, working to align Vermont’s war effort with Cascadia, often acting independently of the Mikesworldus administration.

With the success of the Cascadian Summer Offensive into the Texan heartlands, the tide of the Great American War began to turn in favour of the OFN into September. Vermont's status as a belligerent in the war was no longer questioned. With Texas on the backfoot, Farosh convinced the cabinet that it was no longer necessary to surrender; Texas was no longer in a position to demand anything, and the theatre of war was no longer on the doorstep of Vermont. Anti-war sentiment quelled, as the government and citizens could focus on playing without fear of hunters or reprisal. This allowed a couple of peace treaties, pushed by Princeling and Mikesworldus, to be rejected with the lobbying of Farosh and Malician. A deal struck by Mikesworldus with the Texan government was also struck down in the General Assembly by Farosh with a tie-breaker vote, the first of its kind in Vermont history, after he convinced the President to align with the OFN and Cascadia.

On September 13, Farosh, Malician, and Mikesworldus represented Vermont in peace talks with Texas, alongside OFN allies. Negotiations took place over several days, with Vermont and Cascadia's cores being settled with little debate. The main point of contention was the status of Louisiana, which remained claimed by Cascadia and Texas, who both had several towns in the region. Farosh felt that the Cascadian delegation was unnecessarily delaying peace by demanding a section of land they had expanded into during the Summer Offensive. After multiple rounds of negotiation, the Cascadian delegation ultimately relented. Hours later, Farosh proposed the Treaty of Vancouver to the Vermont General Assembly. Vermont became the first nation in North America to ratify the agreement, bringing an end to months of war.

Princeling, who had been absent from negotiations until the ratification of the Treaty of Vancouver, took issue with the Texan delegation. Hours before the ink had dried on the treaty, a Vermont citizen, Tr4fikk,
