Two dam workers walked on the walkway just in the center of the large Quebarlic dam that was in the southern area of the nation, in the well pastered and agricultural lands of south Quebar where a small population of 14,000 people lived in small communities, villages, farms and on indigenous reserves. As the two men continued to walk across the board walk they noticed two small cracks in the central frame of the dam. However, not being concerned by the two small cracks they went to their office and began eating breakfast. At about 7:30 a.m another worker was walking the plank when he heard a cracking noise coming from the base of the central structure of the dam. Two seconds later a large gush of water flowed from the two cracks, that had grown to eight larger cracks, and pushed the man of the plank ensuring that he fell to his death. With that a wall of water flooded the valley leveling houses and farms, pushing farm equipment ten miles from where they were first positioned and causing large walls of mud to build up in peoples houses, possibly trapping some in a slow painful suffication of mud.

The Dictatorship of Bomble sends its sencerest condolences to all families involved in this horrific disaster.

Please find enclosed a card with a saddened elephant on the front, bearing the title "I'm ever so sorry". We apologise for the relative unsuitability of this card but government funds are at a critical low, forcing us to plunge our hands into foreign aid depositions and select a card from the half-price bin.

Also find enclosed 2 rubber dinghy's with matching paddles. These are normally reserved for governmental use only. We hope that these will prove suitable for a successful rescue operation.

We once again apologise for the unsuitability of these items, most governmental money being tied up in soda sales and arms manafacturing. Incidently, if your nation requires any heavily armed guards or weapons, give us a buzz and we will negotiate something. Please bear in mind that transport must be provided as fuel usage is restricted to four-wheel-driving and motor racing due to the ongoing Bomble fuel crisis.

Our hearts are with your people.

*Note: A public torture and subsequent sacrifice of a youth in honour of your people will be held tomorrow in Capital City at 1700 hours. If your government has any objections to this, or would like to attend, please let us know as the stage is currently being prepared.

Official Message of the Federation of Oslea

We are saddened by your loss. We suggest that you investigate this event further and determine a way of preventing this from happening again; it could save many more lives in the future.

While we object to the Dictatorship of Bomble's torture of a youth, we have decided not to interfere as that is the choice of Quebar and the Dictatorship of Bomble, and we are currently experiencing what happens when a nation's sovereignty is infringed. We don't want the events we have started to happen again.
