The Valruzian government has imposed a ban in operations are a number of businesses in Dorvik, based in Valruzia.

Speaking after a meeting with the chancellor, in which she said the issue was raised, she commented to the awaiting journalists:
The situation between our two nations is getting serious. We have made several attempts to sit down and talk out a solution with the Valruzian government however this is been rejected. We want the best possible outcome for our people and our economies, but we must remember it takes two to tango."

Mr Jakub Polaniecki
President of the Council of Ministers,
I am writing to question and condemn the move you and your government has taken concerning the trade embargo on businesses of Valruzia situated in the Republic of Dorvik.
A new government has been elected in Dorvik, and may I say democratically elected and although your government may not share some of the ideological values of our government, I believe there is no need for the action you have taken. We must work cooperatively for the bettering of lives for both our nation's citizens.
Business, I'm sure you will agree, is vital to our nations' success. The action your government has taken is anti-business, causing unemployment and loss of income home and abroad. We urge for your government to reverse this unfair and unjustified embargo, otherwise our government will need to discuss and consider a response to the problem you have presented to us.
Mr Polaniecki, our nation wants to be on good terms with Valruzia and cooperative with your government. We urge to reconsider the harmful action you have taken.
Katarina Riemann MSC
Deputy chancellor of the Republic of Dorvik,
Conservative and Reformist Alliance
She received a response from the Valruzian government, claiming it has "no basis and credibility" backed up by "a lack of evidence." She added that she nor the government would be "threatened or coward by threats from foreign powers or regimes.
To Deputy Chancellor of the Republic of Dorvik,
Mrs. Katarina Riemann:
Your Excellency,
The overwhelming support of the Valruzian Sejm for the measures taken by the Government of Valruzia is in the eyes of the public in Valruzia, and in the eyes of the Valuzian courts fully understandable, as it is a response for series of attacks, of both direct and indirect character on the Republic of Valruzia.
The Republic of Valruzia, and its democratically elected Government will not agree with statements calling for illegal military intervention made by Dorvik in response to the democratic campaign of the Valruzian Government, and public incitement of the conflict with Valruzia by supporting assaults on Valruzian Citizens and individuals of Valruzian descent committed in Sudik. The government of Valruzia heavily condemns the passivity of the then, as well as the present Government of Dorvik, on the issue of unlawful attacks in which the personal integrity and mental health of our citizens have been exposed to danger and heinous attacks on the ethnic and nationalist background.
Therefore we, as democratically elected Government of the Republic of Valruzia must act respectively, as this is our legal responsibility and one of our imperative goals to protect our citizens, whose safety is one of the factors defining the integrity of the Republic. And I assure you that the Government of Valruzia will not back down from its resolutions and decisions as this is our duty to serve the Valruzian People. Both Governmental Acts: "on Economic Exchange Restrictions on Dorvik" and "on Travel Restrictions" are entirely legal with the Valruzian law and are a diplomatic, at least for now, the response for the offenses against the integrity of the Republic of Valruzia. I remind you that any further act of Dorvik which will be classified as an act of hostility toward Valruzia will cause the response of the Valruzian Government which by virtue of the GA02/31 which will manifest itself as acts of retorsion or reprisal actions.
We demand the quick and thorough investigation to be carried in Sudik against the offenders who attacked Valruzian Citizens and individuals of Valruzian descent. We also demand a public statement of Mr. Edmond Braun, who happen to be the Minister of Justice of the Republic of Dorvik and Mrs. Céline Schroeder, who happens to be the Chancellor of Dorvik, in which they both apologize for their scandalous word calling for illegal actions to be taken against Valruzia, threatening the territorial integrity of the Republic and its sovereignty, as well as inciting of aggression against Valruzian Citizens residing in Dorvik.
Those are our unconditional demands.
Signed,
Jakub Polaniecki,
President of the Council of Minister
of the Republic of Valruzia.
Conservative members of the coalition government are set to meet with the Chancellor and foreign minister in the coming days in order to reach an agreement on how they further approach the situation.
