Ministry for Foreign Affairs

A brief statement was released today by the People's Ministry for Foreign Affairs. The statement declared that "all trade with Capitalists and their allies is hereby banned. Goods from such countries, their allies, and companies will be treated as treason against the People of Faudel and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law."

Attached to this message was a massive list of countries banned.

Minister of Foreign of affairs from Grahftonia calls wanting to know why sanctions have been put on capitalist nations and allies. "If it is an anti-Captalist reason then you have our praise, if for other reasons, do share!

Odd Person Generally Running Imminent Deletion Andro Cowei, currently mixing things up in what he calls "Ered Ungol," finally manages to point the broccoli strainer at a satellite.

"Um... Andro?"

"Yes?"

"Someone just decided to stop trading with everyone who owns anything."

"Okay."

At this point, the broccoli strainer falls to the floor of the Super Singularity Skybase Former.

"Blast," says Andro.

Tahar Joblis has announced markedly improved trade relations with the emerging country of Faudel.

"As they have declared they will no longer line the pockets of capitalist pigdogs, we have decided to set trade relations to a similar degree to our neighbors in the Proletariat Coalition. We encourage other noncapitalist countries to aid Faudel in this time of transition."

All trade with Capitalists and their allies is hereby banned. Goods from such countries, their allies, and companies will be treated as treason against the People of Faudel and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Such a short-sighted action leaves us no choice but to obey your government's wishes. Further, the Republic of Ozymandias IV will ban all Faudel products from entering our markets until this their trade ban is lifted.

The Republic enjoys excellent trade relationships with many of the world's nation and while we regret the Faudel decision to cut economic ties with our nation and its industries, we will surely continue to thrive without Faudel.

"On behalf of the Socialist Empire of Edolia, we wish to acknowledge this action and inquire as to whether or not Edolia will be on the list of banned nations. Though we are perhaps one of the only true Communist nations in the world, most of our allies are of the capitalist persuasion -albeit progressive capitalist. We would like to continue to be able to engage in trade with your nation but would lose very little if we were banned."

Minister of Economics

Salaam and greetings to you, Faudel.

A shame that we won't be trading. I bear your nation no ill will, and am slightly saddened that I will not be able to trade with you as, doubtless, your people make many things worth owning.

However, I fear that I, too, can only do as your government has
instructed and not be traded with.
I'll have to go elsewhere for - actually, what does your
fine nation produce?

Either way, do keep in touch with the international sphere, and don't be
a stranger. If you change your mind, you know whom to call.
We should take tea on the lawn, or something.

Kind regards to you,

Haroun al-Arabel,

Sultan of Tsorfinn

This ban will have no effect on us as we have no trading relationships with the nation of Faudel. There's plenty of other nations to trade with.
