Shandari Government Official Press Release--

DANZIG, SHANDAR - Prime Minister Davis Valero called the Edric Parliament's decision to outlaw elections "illegal" and "immoral" while in the border town of Sen today. "I respect King Taer of Edrinople, as well as his sovreignty," Valero is quoted as saying, "but even he must realize that the rulers rule at the consent of the governed. Without elections, the nobles and commoners will grow increasingly out of touch with each other, until eventually one becomes so afraid of the other that paranoia comes to open conflict." Security has tightened across the entire Shandar-Edrinople border, and a regiment of Border Guards has moved to the Baia military base along the Edrinople-Medinat border.
