Kundrati: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released a list of sanctions that, on noon tommorow, will be enacted on Kundrati. The list includes a travel ban for most of its diplomats and politicians to Deltaria, a closure of the Kundrati embassy in Deltaria, a ban on imports from important Kundrati industries. The list of sanctions was announced following several diplomatic failures for Deltaria internationally. The Deltarian Foreign Ministry had adressed the situation in Kundrati to both the World Congress and the MSO, hoping that they would themselves implement sanctions on Kundrati. To the suprise of many within the Foreign Ministry and reportedly to the suprise of President Petr the international community sillently sided with Kundrati on the matter in question, not pledging their support behind sanctions to pressure the Artanian nation into lifting its anti-religious laws.
According to Foreign Minister Jonáš Polák the, "situation in Kundrati is so dire, so anti freedom oriented, thats as Deltaria we cannot allow it. Supressing your populace by refusing them the right to freedom of worship is inhumane and simply against international law. Deltaria, as a foremost geopolitical power, sees it as its duty to act and put in place consequences for Kundrati its actions. We will make sure to apply pressure on the Kundrati regime and listen to their people in the streets demanding their rights restored."
In addition to the sanctions the Defense Ministry, under directions from the president himself, has dispatched the First Carrier Strike Group of the Deltarian navy to Artania, likely being positioned just outside Kundrati waters. While no official comment from the government has been released geopolitical strategists believe that Deltaria might try to put pressure on Kundrati one last time before taking more descisive action. In the streets of Cahtice, the Deltarian capital, several hundred protestors have gathered shouting "no war in Kundrati", fearing a possible military response from the Deltarian government. The situation remains tense as Deltaria seems prepared to act alone in protecting the freedom of religion in Terra.
(IC secretive info: The Deltarian State Directorate for Intelligence (SDI) has launched a infiltration operation into Kundrati, training oppossition groups, Deltaria is also indirectly funding oppossition groups, giving them the means to put more pressure on Kundrati from within)
