I'm sorry to say, but the Grand Council of my nation rejected the Kermadec Union offer. We chose instead to annex the rest of the Kermadecs to provide room for spaceports (for Project Red Lightning, a private space venture). As we are a direct democracy I really couln't prevent this from happening, I could only stress the significance of having a southern ally. I apologize for the inconvienance, and I hope you're not upset by the news. The GC has, however, approved establishing full time diplomatic relations between our two countries.
