[center][h2][color=Purple][b]The Kingdom of Soroya 1904[/b][/color][/h2][/center] [hr] [b]Letter to Emperor Shayaer Khatis[/b] [i]Dear Emperor Shayaer Khatis, I have no intentions of involving myself with the bombing or invasion of the Anvegadian coast. However this is the best I can promise from my people. War is often a difficult time for us all, and I can only hope that it ends as swiftly as possible with a Soroyan victory. We pride ourselves with our colonial empire, and as a country that had once stretched the continent of Serranthia, you must admire that accomplishment. On a lighter note I hear you enjoy the Soroyan play “The Violet Rose,” some spectators even rumor that you shed a tear. This brings joy into my heart that those outside of Soroya can see the beauty our people bring into the world. I truly hope it was a joyous performance. In the future, under better circumstance, I would find it a momentous occasion to attend a similar performance with you. I wish the best of luck to a fellow king and lover of the arts. Sincerly, King Hann-Riechmanus II[/i] [center][img]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/Edward_VII_in_coronation_robes.jpg[/img] [i]Painting of King Hann-Riechmanus II, Circa 1904[/i][/center] [hr] [b]The SRF Vulture[/b] After much consideration the Soroyan government has chosen to seize the Honnerian pre-dreadnought with promises to pay them back entirely, even with an offer to construct a new one.

After deciding to pay the 55 Billion owed to the people Nakashisaki, Prime Minister Kevin Notles has refused to recognize Xian’s claim to the land stating “We were leased this land by the Yong Dynasty, a dynasty no more. The Xian Republic is not the rightful owner of these lands and they shall remain under Soroyan control.”
