Absolutely! I'm sure the French and Draconis would jump at the opportunity to include them. It would have a positive effect on diplomatic relations, as you pointed out, and it would be good business.

The Draekar remnant needs to keep in mind, though, that to join GITO is to accept its framework. The organization is founded on the expansion of free trade, the lowering of trade barriers, and economic integration, technological innovation, and cooperation between its members. It has a lot of organs which can facilitate international commerce and even come to your rescue if you encounter economic trouble, but it also requires of its members to adopt certain norms and policies. The biggest of these is a commitment to the building of a stable and enduring system of international commerce which will benefit all, and which is built on capitalist assumptions and practices. Further, there is talk of reform among GITO members about reform in the wake of the 2802 GITO Financial Crash, which means the organization could demand more integration of its members in the future.
