Massive sheep death, crop failure, volcanic winter. These were only a few of the things that happened in the past as a result of an eruption. But the worst part had to be the famine and watching his few citizens collapse under the stress the eruptions caused. The volcanic eruptions did not pass him by, either. Even when scarcely anything happened, he coughed up soot and ash and came down with a terrible fever. Even preparation to help his citizens couldn't avoid that unsightly side effect. But he didn't want to get involved. With tensions rising, he did not want it to appear that he was picking a side when countries attempted to send aid. "The concern is appreciated but I request it stop there," he replied firmly, having not sat down yet. "I am aware the side effects of such natural disasters are devastating as I have felt their blow often. But another fight is in the rising. The tensions are growing higher and higher and it is troubling for a small nation like myself. As such, I would like to declare my neutrality now. Please do not involve my people in any of your fighting or arguments and respect my neutrality." Finally, he sat back down, hoping none of the nations took offense to his words. He just wanted to avoid a fight.
