[center][b]Denouncing the actions of Korenia[/b][/center]

The recent political coup in the once democratic neutral country of Korenia was a favorite topic in Soroyan newspapers. “The Warlord of Korenia” many called him. A name that somehow both insulted and complimented him. Though the man was mad with power, Soroyan officials knew he was nowhere near the threat to be considered a “warlord” nor has he earned such a name.

It was the war that he had waged against his own people that disturbed captured these headlines the most. From disappearances to mass shootings nothing was below this man that claims to be working for the good of his people. Soon enough the public demanded an official statement on the issue, some even action. Prime Minister Leendert Aandes soon enough spoke on the issue, “The people of Soroya mourn the losses of many in the once former democratic country of Korenia. Now under the will of a madman who believes in righting a wrong done to his people. This very same madman who has wronged his people so many times. Through political prisoners, disappearances, and mass slaughters. I ask the people to learn from this madmen, as he demonstrates the very reason why democratic countries such as this are not only wanted, but needed. Lest we fall under the will of a single man. A single, corrupt, man.”

[center][b]The Treaty of Sikea[/b][/center]
Many beheld the spectacle of the treaty of sikea. A gathering of several officials from across the world, leaders, diplomats, politicians, all to sign the treaty many considered would be making history. Never before had a diverse group of nations gather to sign such a magnificent treaty. One that promised peace between nations, or at least a small step towards it.

Soon enough, after several nations had signed the treaty, Leendert Aandes gave a speech, “So it seems we are in agreement, if not then you certainly would not be here to sign such a piece. A piece that promises peace, between nation and nation, man and man, brother and brother. No leader wishes to see men die on the battlefield, those who join us today clearly detest the very thought. For life is a precious thought.

We, as a nation, aim to protect the lives of our fellow man. To limit the detestable destruction that is war. Possibly even leading to a grander step towards global unity. One where nations live in peace and harmony with each other, rather than vie for power over land and resources.

I understand that many fear the implications that come with this treaty. The very meaning of it, the very idea, of submitting to a foreign power, willingly. But those who come here today are stronger than that. They realize that through this treaty they will save the lives of their fellow man and thus also be spared the destruction, both in times of war and peace. It is by signing this treaty that people will realize that they are taken in priority of the will of a single man or government. That they aim for peace. They aim for unity. They aim for democracy. And so I thank them. Enemy or ally. So long as we honor this treaty, we represent the best that humanity has to offer. Thank you.”

[center][b]Annexation of Romanow[/b][/center]
Onlookers were shocked of recent news of Oslad’s recent annexation of the Romanow Island. The blatant violation of the Treaty of Parma sent Parliament into a shock and discussion on what to do began immediately. It was unanimous however, that this violation would not stand. Not in the eyes of the Soroyan people. Demands were sent immediately with the simple terms release Romanow immediately or face war.

When news hit the Soroyan people, many were conflicted. The war against Oslad had just ended. Why must violence continue. Others shouted for justice. Millions did not die just so that Oslad could turn around and violate the terms given to them. Some criticized the validity of their signature in the treaty of Sikea. The people prepared for the worst. Some hoped for it.

[center][i]Luuk Garritz, January 1916[/i][/center]

Luuk Garritz, born in Sikea and renown Soroyan diplomat during the war and one of the many Soroyan officials who signed the Treaty of Parma shortly after the terrible war had ended. Elected to represent the Soroyan government on this important diplomatic mission to Surve due to his ethnic ties to the city. His mother originally being born in the free city, before moving to Soroya and marrying his father.

When he arrived he met with Zakhar Svyatoslavovich Spravtsev, a representative and diplomat of the free city. “I am curious if you are aware of the current situation at hand with Oslad? I am assuming so.” Spravtsev simply nodded in agreement. “It is certainly a dark day indeed. They seem to be demanding the return of their empire and only months after losing it. This however, was unexpected. An unexpectation we intend to correct. The independence of the people in this nation are guaranteed by Soroya, it is our duty to protect them.

Though in order to do this, we need to ask a favor of your people. Let us dock in your ports in order to wage this war with Oslad. Let us end the threat they pose to the people of this region. Then we shall leave. During this time, we guarantee protection of any and all shipping lanes you have. Help us protect your people and the people that are threatened by Oslad’s lust for power.”
