Public report from the Xanthalian Ministry of Communications, authorized by the Alphin.
The Socialist Republic of Xanthal has begun passive surveillance of the United Duchies of Alcona and Hubris and instituted military protocols for seizing the nation's territory on the continent of Zithal on Earth in the Sol System. The Xanthalian government wishes to assure the international community, not least of all the United Duchies themselves, that it has absolutely no hostile intent and will not attempt to take sovereign control of Zithal from that government or any successive institutions. The Socialist Republic's sole objective in taking the action that it has taken is to facilitate an expedient and effective occupation of Zithal in the event that the government and societal order of Alcona and Hubris collapses altogether. When and if that happens, the Socialist Republic will immediately claim Zithal in its entirety as territory of the Socialist Republic. Until that time, we reaffirm our respect for the national sovereignty of the United Duchies, and our continued willingness to honor the sale of land authorized by the Old Xanthalian government.

OOC translation: Basically what this post means is if Alcona and Hubris as a nation controlled by its player ever ceases to exist, I plan to assert control over the continent of Zithal. If that happens, it will obviously be an in-character action, but I really am just putting myself in the position of having first dibs. Of course, if Zithal falls to the ownership of another nation before Alcona and Hubris ceases to exist, then that nation must cease to exist before I take control, etc. So, a bit of IC, a bit of OOC. Just something I wanted to put out there in case somebody calls me on it later. If there are any questions, comments, or objections, I'm very willing to hear them and respond in this thread.
