Official Communique from the Federation of New Albor High Commission:

Re: Condemnation of actions of Whyatica and Laquasa Isle

Due to the unwarranted actions of the Imperial Meritocracy of Whyatica and the Empire of Laquasa Isle against our ally the Brittannic Commonwealth, the Federation of New Albor has closed our ports to their goods and condemns them in every international forum including the United Nations. Further, all visitation and immigration rights from these countries to ours have been suspended and any citizen of Whyatica and Laquasa Isle must leave New Albor forthwith.

Needless to say, both nations will not be allowed to attend the upcoming Technology Conference.

No, just those two as the wording indicates.

According to our emigration records, not one Whyatican national lives in New Albor. In order, we are not members of the United Nations, we do not export to you anyway, and we don't give a rat's ass about your technology conference.

Have a nice day.

The Harakian government would like to know exactly how you find Whyatica's actions unwarranted. It seems to me that the wanton genocide of millions of people for such arbitrary reasons as their age is exactly the kind of thing that would and should warrant an attack on their government. If these actions were unwarranted, precisely what would it take in your mind to warrant such actions?

It seems clear to us that instead of you judging these nations based entirely on the fact that they attacked your ally, you should look at the bigger picture and see why your ally was attacked. After doing so, you should question your alliance with them, and see whether such a nation as that is really one you want to be associated with. Do you want to go down in history as the nation that defended British Londinium after they were attacked for massacring children? It seems to me that is not the sort of reputation any sane person would want.

It will be interesting to hear the exact wording of your condemnations in whatever international settings you should choose to express them. If you manage to make a case in favour of British Londinium, you are either very brave and stand by your tyrannical convictions, or a master of spin. Either way, I suggest you reevaluate your values and morals before you choose to pursue this line of reasoning any further.

Very well, but it is simply the principle of the matter, and if you do not have your principles, even as a nation, then what kind of nation (or person) can you be?

To: Minister Firth

In many cases, we might agree with you; however the Brittannic Commonwealth befriended our nation when no other would, regardless of our feelings in the matters of politics and morality. I also feel the war could have been avoided through diplomacy, hence my thought that it was unwarranted. Further, the nation of Laquasa Isle has proven themself to be confrontational toward my ally and has baited them on numerous occassions, so I am more than justified in my stance toward Laquasa.

The Federation bears no ill will in this regard toward the Harakian nation, but we will not abandon an ally. Too many times throughout history, nations have abandoned their own principles in the name of conformity. We are our own nation and we will not be bullied nor allow other nations to bully the sovreignty of our allies.

I am sure you might be appalled by our response, but such are the vagaries of internationalism.

Regards,
Lord Protector Allen Clements
