Selucia is glad to be here. As we have explained many times, the Malivian government is an expert in disguising its actions to make it appear as if the bad guys are others.
On October 4531, Rajutti National Party leader Amish Padagavakar demanded his government to open talks with my nation in order to discuss "the return of the Malivy Islands" to them, because according to these ancient Gerajan scriptures, "the Malivy Islands", which supposedly comprised the entirety of modern-day Selucia, was once an integral part of the nation of Malivia, and that "as patriotic Malivians and devout Gerajans, we have a duty to restore our heritage and retake the Malivy Islands by one means or another". He went on to argue that Selucia's Religio Seluciana (OOC: Roman polytheism) is "a corruption of the Gerajan religion which was originally practised in those islands". (

At the time, Selucian Minister of Foreign Affairs Caumodia Pyrra, downplayed the statements of Padagavakar, but after the government of Rector Axia Cinna received information from the Selucian National Intelligence Agency my nation decided to break diplomatic relations with Malivia and declared State of Alarm, giving Malivian ambassador 24 hours to leave the country while also decreeing the prohibition of access to any citizen of Malivia to the nation,(

It was at that time when Deltaria decided to give its support for Malivian claims, an action that was heavily critizised by the international community.
Next, on 4770, Malivia introduced the Greater Malivia Act, assuring that "Malivia has no plans for military aggression" and "Malivia will seek to bring about a Greater Malivia through peaceful and democratic means" (

And since then, we have reached this point. Make no mistake: Malivia is no saint. They sent their own citizens to our shores (

We had to overcome economic blockades imposed on our nation by other countries that decided to accept Malivia's unfounded declarations as valid, and we overcome them. We are not spiteful, but we remember. We remember those who were by our side and those who turned their backs on us and did not even ask for forgiveness later. That Malivia tries to pretend that they simply want what is hers, and that they do not intend to carry out any military action or take anything by force is simply a lie. They won't stop until they get what they want, be that as it may. They violated our national sovereignty once, they put us in the crosshairs of others, they launched falsehoods on us. And again.
Let no one expect anything from Selucia other than firm and total opposition to a crude historical manipulation based on a piece of paper without any historical value and disdained by any prestigious historian.
