Prefect Blasts Kalopia Over Northern Council AirbaseDuke Zhtál Says Kazulian Financial Incentives Have Tempted Republic To Put Greed Ahead of Majatran SecurityPrefect Zhtál says Kalopia has struck an ungodly deal.August 4436 - Vanukean Prefect Duke Noh Zhtál has launched a scathing attack against the Kalopian government branding the Republic "Kazulia's lap dog".
The Duke is said to be furious over the Majatran Union of Nation's initial decision to allow Kalopia to enjoy all the economic benefits of being a MUN observer state while strengthening defensive ties with Kazulia. The situation is now being reviewed after protest from several parties in the General Assembly.
Kazulia, and by default the Northern Council, already has an airbase (The Ellinor Ketelsen Air Base) in Kalopia and during the death throes of the Jelbanian crisis earlier this century nuclear-capable bombers were located there, first raising concerns. Kalopia has taken advantage of multi-billion Wantuni trade and investment deals with Kazulia and is therefore reluctant to close the base and deny the northern powerhouse military access.
The Vanukean Prefect said: "Kalopia has shown itself for what it is - a nation not capable of standing up for itself, so it has struck an ungodly deal with the Kazulians, and therefore the Northern Council as a whole, to deploy its bombers in their country.
"Because of the ordnance these bombers can carry, it means an existential threat is posed to all surrounding Majatran countries.
"When asked to make a common sense decision and to close this base, the Kalopian government whines on about ancient security threats; but when Kazulia comes knocking with more money we see that the true incentive is financial greed.
"Kalopia is fast becoming Kazulia's lap dog and will do anything its master wants as long as it is petted and fed. Any attempt to fall out of line and a short tug on the financial lead brings it back to obedience. It is truly a pathetic situation when you consider the risk close-by nations like Istalia, Solentia and Jakania are now under.
"I encourage the MUN executive and the general assembly to take the appropriate action to demonstrate to Kalopia that it cannot have its cake and eat it. This is not about picking sides but it is about what is right by fellow Majatran nations."
The Prefect said he was deploying the 4th Carrier Fleet to international waters to the south of Kalopia to carry out manoeuvres for "an indefinite" period.
