FROM THE OFFICE OF DICTATOR DURANT ADAMS; TO THE PEOPLE OF KOSTEMETSIA

The nation of Miroxia and I, Durant Adams, give our full support to our fellow brother in Christ, Andrew Purchenko, for his ideas in politics, support of Pro-Life, and being against the Jihadists of Arabia and the World. If he were a candidate in our dictatorship's recent elections, he would surely have surpassed me. The nation of Miroxia wishes warm regards and prays for a win in election.

We support him fully with 2 billion dollars of our government's waste, to make sure all money is used in a wise, way. We will also produce extra campaign signs, button, t-shirt, ect, based upon his design. We would also like to see him speak in Miroxia, so we can build our first alliance with said nation. Even for just letting us vote, we donate 1 million dollars for the government to use, however.

Again, best wishes,

Dictator Durant Adams

To: Jean-Philippe Palzani of Kostemetsia

Given the shared views of yourself and His Royal Majesty, the people of Ostarreich have endorsed you for the Presidency of your people. We believe that a nation cannot survive without being armed, and to allow citizens to own their own firearms, and to encourage training and use of those firearms, is only another way to ensure that your nation does not fall to wandering armies.

May your campaign be successful, and your people be brought to a new age of glory under your leadership.

Herzlichst,
Kanzler von Außenpolitik Engelbert Jaeger
im service von
Seine Königliche Majestät Köing Conrad Habsburg I von Ostarreich

Sincerely,
Chancellor of Foreign Affairs Engelbert Jaeger
in the service of
His Royal Majesty King Conrad Habsburg I of Ostarreich

Signed,
Prince Mikhail IV

From the Office of the Secretary of the Foreign Sphere:
May all citizens of Kostemetsia be aware that the election of Andrew Purchunko will result in trade embargoes of civilian ships passing through XC-42 territory to Kotsemetsia. That is all.

(Guess who I voted for, though.)

(Argh. Teh brain hurts at teh illogic. :()

(Nah, it's actually XC-42 posturing. It's young and fresh, and thus needs to feel big and powerful, so its giving itself a means to do so.)

(First contact RP mayhaps? I'd be happy to set one up.)

To Jean-Philippe Palzani, candidate for President in The Commonwealth and Territories of Kostemetsia,

The State Council of The United Socialist States of Milyar votes for your political principles.
We support your arguments and views and officially endorse your position in your home country.
