On August 30th, Monaco makes a major expansion Northwards in order to secure its northern border from the newly created Swiss town of Aincrad. This adds to the Monégasque-Swiss Border conflict as a result.
On August 31st, Monaco offers diplomatic talks to the town of CERN (Now Annency) to discuss a border agreement, Monaco shows the claims that they request and unfortunately the mayor of Annency takes this an act of aggression and harshly demands that Monaco stay far away from their town although they did not have the resources to even claim the territory they believed was theirs. Monaco even had made offers to assist the town financially should an agreement be reached but ultilmately recidnded the offer due to the hostility. The mayor would not listen to the reasoning of the diplomatic envoy, both being in France at the time, Annency does not receive support from the fellow French after issuing a complaint against the requested claims by Monaco.

During this time, Monaco offers many different options for negotiating, including paying the Swiss mayors gold for their trouble, ultimately neither side concedes.
