The congress of the Empire of Fluttergork voted unanimously today to reject all shipments of goods from the nation of Xexo.

The move comes as no surprise following several substantiated reports of shiploads of broken vases, teddy bears falling apart, and bottled water with alarmingly high levels of iodine and arsenic.

King Roland Deschain is expected to approve the measure sometime this week, and has even been quoted as saying he supports the idea of economic sanctions against Xexo.

In the meantime, measures have already been enacted banning Xexo cargo and military ships from entering the territorial waters of Fluttergork. Another proposal is expected to be debated today pondering the idea of declaring all Xexo visitors as Persona Non Grata, and deporting them.

More on this story as it develops.

Xexan Trade Administration officials have found that a weapons crate meant to be shipped to another nation was accidentally mixed with the water, corrupting the quality of the water. Trade employees were also found mishandling several shipments to several countries. Over 200 XTA employees have been fired.

"This will not be tolerated," Red Titmouse, XTA official, said. "We can't have a couple of idiots ruining the good rep of Xexo."

Xexo apologizes to Fluttergork for the incident, and has offered reimbursement for the damaged goods.
