Foreign Minister: "Insurgency and minority disturbances a legislative magic wand"
Foreign Minister slams Yeudish hard line segregation and ethnic assimilation.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ellinor Ketelsen speaking to reporters outside the parliamentary chamber.
11th June 4125

It has been one hundred and twenty-five years since the horns of warning were blasted against the Yeudish government, specifically the Conservative Yeudish Party, by former Trigunian Minister-President Panarina Leonidovna. Recent events have confirmed the old saying Old Habits die hard. The internal spat between the Yeudish government and the indigenous ethnic minorities reached a new high when the government announced its intentions to enact the final stage of their "mission to foster/nurture a true Yeudish state." thus spurring the response of Foreign Minister, Ellinor Ketelsen. Ketelsen was true in her statement "War crimes is such a lilliputian term for the atrocities committed by the Yeudish government" acts that can only be defined as racist, oppressive and against Human Rights. In the Stortinget tea room where she was cornered by reporters pleading for a statement by her ministry she said:

Government after government, the same policy is regurgitated with the highest support from parties within their parliament without opposition. I find the Yeudish ambassador to the World Congress' statement to be extremely funny, as he talks of condemning the acts of the government in Saridan, when almost the exact thing he condemns is happening at home. Hypocrisy one might say, I would say that is simply him being double-mouthed . Calling for the condemnation of atrocities in Saridan from one side of his lips and from the other championing the cause of "True Yeudish statehood". This is a testimony to how far right-wing populism can go.

It was stated by a reporter than an Istalian representative called out the Yeudish ambassador for his double mouthed politics and was met with a response by the Yeudish ambassador who stated that the measures taken by the Yeudish government are only for the sake of "fighting terrorist insurgence and possible disruptions". Ketelsen slammed this statement calling the guise of fighting terrorist insurgence a "legislative magical wand".

I wonder what are the causes of these supposed "terrorist insurgencies", could it be the National minority card act, or the National minority act or even the Segregation Rights Act, and many other populist legislations being pumped out from the Knesset under the guise of "curbing insurgency". Terrorist insurgency and the fear of a minority revolution is a legislative magic wand which gives the Yeudish government justification to suppress, segregate and even assimilate minorities.

Ketelsen stated that she knew that the Yeudish government are so arrogant they will boast of their Final Solution Act. She intends on taking the matter to the World Congress General Assembly and hopes it reaches to the ears of the Security Council. It appears that Ketelsen wishes to derail this "Final Solution Act" as it is danger to Majatra and a breach of human rights, as minority settlers are kept in camps under the "watchful" eye of the Yeudish Military. Tensions between Skalm and Yishelem are expected to rise.

Andreas Brunsvold: 'NSF? That's a joke.'



Nye Demokrater leader Brunsvold criticized the NSF for being a party with double standards during the Late Night show on Channel 4. His critique was mainly on the slow development on social policies and the further liberalization of the country. "How is it possible that a self-proclaimed leftist movement has blindly entered a coalition with Høyre, a right-wing-elitist and ultra capitalistic party. We all knew in the beginning that they would have zero influence in any kind of domestic policies and especially in economics. The NSF is noting more then a lame dog tightened on a leash held by the countries Rich and Pseudo intellectual elitists. NSF? That's a joke. I would rather call it the party of double standards. Criticizing us for ventilating the toughs of every day common men. This shows how elitist this party has become over the past 5years, they've lost any contact with average Joe. "

Ingebretsen hits back at ND: "Backpedaling in light of a proper talking to."
NSFP Political Leader slams ND for hypocritical sentiment.

NSFP Political Leader, Rasmus Ingebretsen looks on during a campaigning event in Thornhall.
11th March 4126

Rasmus Ingebretsen, political leader of the Nasjonal Sosialistisk Folkeparti (NSFP), responded to from Andreas Brunsvold's Nye Demokrater (New Democrats), who in an earlier statement on channel 4 called the NSFP a party of "double standards", arguing that the party has no domestic policy. The clout from the Nye Demokrater comes after Ingebretsen on radio last week, called the party a mindless political movement and slammed the party even further for their "People's Rights on Animals" Act, whilst on the election campaign trail, in the party regional office in Thornhall, Ingebretsen lash back at the Nye Demokrater whilst signing pamphlets of the party's supporters.

Yes, I say the article in the Nyheter. We are being branded as complicit in the elitist and ultra capitalist movement within the nation, by a political uncertain party who wishes to throw shade at all sides of the political spectrum. They spewed mixed emotions from their lips and then calls my party one of double standards. The Nye Demokraters had no problem when they aligned themselves with the BDU. They had no problem when they asked us to join a political coalition with them as our common interests was the economy and now they are Backpedaling in light of a proper talking to. I am sure ventilating the thoughts of the common man means, opening justification for the poaching of endangering species. I am sure ventilating the thoughts of the common man means limiting trade union rights. I am sure ventilating the thoughts of the common man means stopping foreign investment into our state owned companies (which stops the dual-economic system). I am sure ventilating the thoughts of the common man means opening the possibility of public nuclear proliferation under the guise of a non-existent threat. What they ventilate is what the children these days call "Saltiness."

Currently, according to the public relations arm of the NSFP, the party is making stronger pushes in the stortinget to implement socialist policy. It is interesting that Ingebretsen had not spoken about the Economic Stability Act proposed and passed by the party, which is the economic safeguard to ensure economic stability in the even of a detrimental blow to the economy, one which many believe will be brought about by the ND.

Gasstrien ceases operations in New Endralon.
CNG operations in New Endralon closed by Gasstrien due to million dollar losses for company.

The Oil Platform, Stalgat-134, being dismantled by heavy Gasstrien Equipment.
11th May 4127

State Owned Oil and Natural Gas Company, Gasstrien has announced that it will ceasing its operations in New Endralon after the company registered its CNG subordinate, Komnatgass as a loss in revenue. In a media release from the company's media relations office, it was elaborated that although reparations from the socialist turnover was repaid by the New Endralonian Government, Compressed Natural Gas Prices combined with the failing facility brought the company's CNG subordinate, Komnatgass to its knees after its 4126 Operational Report. From inside sources it is being reported that the subordinate division had no chance of turning the tide on the already Sambovenergetickorp dominated CNG Market. Recently appointed Chief Executive Officer of the company, Svend Lambertsen stated that before his predecessor, Kari Osmundsen retired, she intended on expanding the subordinate's reach to the Artanian Market, whilst also battling the strong rift, that was competition from Sambovenergetickorp. In a letter to the editor, Chief Operations Manager of Komnatgass-NEK, Serban Ceausescu offered his insight into the cessation of operations.

I do not know, where the workers will go. For some of us Endralonian, Komnatgass-NEK is our bread and butter. Some of us, wish to continue working for the company within the safe place of New Endralon, as some of us are not able to leave for personal reasons. I received a letter from Mr. Lambertsen and Mr. Sivert Pettersen CEO of Komnatgass-NEK informing me that the company will be paying each worker their final salary, by next month, when operations official cease. Already they are dismantling the oil platform, Stalgat-134, which was oil platform responsible for pumping oil for the CNG Facility. I have sent back letters to both Mr. Lambertsen and Mr. Pettersen asking them as to what will be the company's next step, as i believe they will not abandon their employees. I have seen the liquidity paper from the Regional Comptroller, and I can say that Komnatgass-NEK was worth a lot to Gasstrien. Roughly 5 Billion LOD.

Lambertsen responded to the letter by saying that the company plans on relocating its New Endralonian workers to either its Artanian branch in Hawu Mumenhes or to our various facilities scattered across Dovani. Although many have jumped on the opportunity to continuously follow the company, others have decided to stay in New Endralon, thus spurring the response of Komnatgass-NEK CEO, Sivert Pettersen who stated that he intends on lobbying with Lambertsen to reconsider completely liquidizing the company, but instead alter the operations of Komnatgass-NEK to another petrocommodity which Gasstrien is known for, one which has hinted being Gasstriengrønn, Gasstrien Green Energy Subordinate. It is being marked by manner as an employment crisis as 2,000 workers from Komnatgass-NEK are now searching for jobs. Although Gasstrien CEO Svend Lambertsen has offered solutions, to prevent to unemployment influx, it is very simple to see to that many Komnatgass-NEK workers intend on staying in New Endralon. The response from the New Endralonian government is currently unknown.

[New Endralonian] government to nationalize Kazulian Komnatgass-NEK and Gasstrien assets as payment for failed subsidies

[Maxington]

Déjà vu Anyone?
New Endralonian mimics moves by system they condemned; Statsminister responds.

Statsminister Rasmus Ingebretsen elaborating on the nationalization attempt.
12th September 4127

Many are feeling the sensation of Déjà vu after the New Endralonian government proposed to their cabinet to seize Gasstrien's Compressed Natural Gas Division in New Endralon in a quick nationalization scheme. This move by the New Endralonian government comes after Oil and Natural Gas producer, Gasstrien's subsidiary Komnatgass-NEK seized operations in the nation after it registered as a major loss in profit to the company, thus leaving two-thousand workers unemployed. The quick nationalization scheme was introduced into the New Endralonian parliament by the Baloldali Frakció (Left Faction), who accused Gasstrien of taking compensation money and running and also proposed to nationalize and redistribute all Gasstrien, specifically Komnatgass assets in an attempt to compensate for "failing subsidies". CEO of Gasstrien, Svend Lambertsen immediately came out and blasted the New Endralonian Government's attempt to nationalize a state-owned entity.

The New Endralonian government cannot say that we simply abandoned the workers. As the Chief Operations Manager, Serban Ceausescu factual stated, we did pay each two-thousand employee their final salary, and we even decided to triple the amount. So that means that we tripled each workers' final salary. We offered to relocate workers. In response to the New Endralonian government's reckless conspiracies, which are not backed by an financial audit or statements, they should know that the compensation money given to us, was used to rebuild the facilities which we lost to the previous nationalization. We had to rebuild 2 Oil Platforms, and an entire CNG facility. If they wish to back-check, please do read our 4127 Financial Statement. This is a simple excuse by the New Endralonian government to nationalize a state-owned entity of the Kazulian Government. I intend on bringing this to the Court system, and I am sure the Statsminister will have something to say.

Indeed he was right the Statsminister would give a response to the situation. Noting that the Government holds 85% Shares in Gasstrien, Komnatgass and the nationalization of their state entity is cause for response. Statsminister Rasmus Ingebretsen slammed the New Endralonian government's hypocrisy and also mentioned the complete freezing of New Endralonian assets, attributing to the sanctions layed on them by the Principality of Vanuku.

The New Endralonian government's handling of this issue is reckless, and above all a risk to their economy. They did not contact, anyone from Gasstrien or our government proposing to iron out concerns. Nationalization seemed to be the rapid response. This brings back the sensation of Déjà vu, as the indulge in the same tactics they condemned. Nationalizing foreign entities, without justifiable cause, without warning and without regard to foreign asset control. This is blatant hypocrisy. I find it funny that they would never attempt to re-nationalize and buy-out HTC's New Endralon branch as they supply them with weapons. Might i add that the attempt to seize foreign assets is illegal, as it is not binding in New Endralonian law. So it will be unconstitutional to seize private property or Eminent Domain. So apart from taking this to the Courts level, If the New Endralonian government were to push their reckless actions further, it will result in me proposing the Finance Minister, the Attorney-General and the Queen, to freeze New Endralon's assests. In their already crippled economy, after Vanukean investment (which kept their economy afloat) was withdrawn for their handling of a separate issue, they move to cripple their economy even furthur, by intimidation. Lest we not forget the ongoing trade war between New Endralon and Kalistan, or the current diplomatic "jealously" between New Endralon and Trigunia. I invite the New Endralonian government to cripple their economy further. I will solve your issues. Prepare your best lawyers, this is going to the Supreme and Constitutional Courts.

This adds another nation defiant the New Endralon's government's handling of foreign entities and assets. It is being rumored that a privately-owned Kazulian Company is willing to buy-out Gasstrien in order to save it from nationalization. But at the moment, it appears that Kazulia has entered a trade-war with New Endralon's already crippling economy system. It is unclear whether, the response from Ingebretsen and Lambertsen will force the New Endralonian government to reconsider and take a more dialogue centred approach.

Statsminister sent to Vanuku to broker diplomatic relations.
Statsminister sent to Vanuku in an attempt to broker diplomatic relations between Skalm and Wiel.

Statsminister Rasmus Ingebretsen, looks on during an interview with the Nyheter earlier this month.
23rd November 4127

Statsminister Rasmus Ingebretsen is expected to visit the Principality of Vanuku, signalling a bid to broker relations with Majatran nations amid simmering tensions between Skalm and several nations. Vanuku, considered to be the regional power broker in Majatra has always maintained a silent but friendly relationship with Kazulia for many years as both nations remain monarchist nations despite the resent surge of republicanism throughout terra. It is speculated by many that the official state visit comes amid a rise in tensions between Kazulia and New Endralon after their government's rapid nationalization scheme. Ingebretsen has promised to keep the state visit strictly to business as he intends on proposing a trade and military deal to the Vanukean delegation.

Many political scientists are saying that this visit could have a domino effect on New Endralon as well. Vanuku, a once powerful ally of New Endralon, has been diplomatically ignoring the confederation after it broke the New Endralonian-Vanukean alliance after leaving the treaty in response to vanuku's intervention into the Saridan humanitarian crisis. Vanukean investment, which kept the confederation's economy afloat after a economic hammering after the Great War, was pulled after the Vanukean government urged all Vanukean businesses and investors to pull from the nation. Apart from investment, a controversial arms deal was cancelled and their trade exports sanctioned. Ingebretsen mirrors these moves in response to the confederation plot to nationalize a Kazulian state entity.

This state visit will be a Kazulian Statsminister's first visit to Vanuku in several years, and will also mark the first state visit for Ingebretsen since assuming office. Ingebretsen, although trying to keep the visit strictly diplomatic, intends on visit several Vanukean sites, such as Vanukean nuclear power plant, as Kazulia is making plans to include Nuclear Power as apart of the nation's electricity generation system and also the Grand Canal, as apart of the trade deal to be proposed. All in all, this state visit will usher in diplomatic relations between Vanuku and Kazulia as well as supposedly further the demise of New Endralon.

Kazulian-Istalian joint venture in Wantuni sealed with agreement.
Kazulia and Istalia seal deal in Wantuni for joint venture in oil and natural gas exploitation.
12th June 4130.

In a ploy to boost cooperation between Kazulia and Istalia on the business level, earlier this morning Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Gasstrien, Svend Lambertsen and President of ENIST Energia Istaliana, Giulia Maggiatrani signed an agreement to jointly operate and conduct seismic research as well as oil and natural gas exploitation in the South-Eastern Majatran nation of Wantuni, formerly known as Kalopia-Wantuni. The move orchestrated by Gasstrien comes after the company's intention to both open its doors for exploitation in the Majatran theater as well as the company's intention to re-instill confidence in the company after a scandal with the New Endralonian government which was exposed to be a feeble attempt of the New Endralonian government to re-discover past tendencies. Gasstrien has made it very clear that it does intend on moving away from Arctic exploitation after the Government is currently contemplating on banning arctic exploitation by the Kazulian Industrial Sector. As the Kazulian and Istalian shelves are becoming increasingly mature, it is clear the intention of both Gasstrien and ENIST Energia Istaliana in their moves towards the oil rich nation. After announcing the deal with Mr. Maggiatrani, Gasstrien CEO, Svend Lambertsen offered insight on the deal between Gasstrien and ENIST Energia Istaliana.

We believe that there are significant resources within the nation. It is clear that will have to cooperate with the communities seeing that Wantuni has no government. Nevertheless, we do intend on having dialog with said communities and their respective leaders as both our legal team and myself wish no to pull Gasstrien and the greater Kazulian Government into a humanitarian scandal caused by a lack of dialogue and cooperation between the respective companies and the Wantuni community leaders. Let it be known that is not an exploitation of the nation's natural resources during such times of uncertainty within the nation. It is nonsensical for anyone to form such as "conspiracy" when they know nothing of our intentions.

When asked to ellaborate on this comment on conspiracies of exploitation during a time when Wantuni is most vulnerable, Lambertsen stated that both Gasstrien and ENIST Energia Istaliana are preparing to invest into the communities of Wantuni in exchange for their permission to conduct seismic data collection and oil and natural gas exploitation.

We do not intend on simply taking Wantuni's oil. That is not the intention. It is intended to introduce a factor of economic growth into the nation. As our companies will be conducting operations, it is inevitable that we will employ Wantuni citizens as well as invest into the country's development. From what Mr. Maggiatrani has told me , ENIST Energia Istaliana is preparing/willing to invest in the construction of schools, libraries etc whilst Gasstrien is prepared to provide infrastructural commodities such as alternative energy and petrochemicals through Gasstriengrønn and we also intend on opening a Komnatgass branch in Wantuni, called Komnatgass-Wantun. But all of this is based on whether will we obtain permission from the community leaders in Wantuni.

It is uncertain whether the two companies will receive the licensing to legally conduct operations in the South-Eastern Majatran nation. It is expected that Kazulia and Istalia, through Gasstrien and ENIST Energia Istaliana will sign another deal to exchange older seismic data to help to determine where to drill. Kazulia mostly could benefit from the increased activity during a time when oil industry investment spending has been hit by low crude prices in the northern hemisphere due to Trigunian State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Company, Neftkomp lagging behind on their word to stop oil and natural gas output.

"Amendment is currently on the table for consideration." - Government Spokesman.
Government Communications Director reassures international community of possible amendment to death penalty policy.

Spokesman and Director of Communications in the Office of the Statsminister, Bjørnar Bremseth, looks on during his address.
July 4132

In light of the recent release of a document by a Kalistani Non-governmental organization (NGO) which brought together nations who still enforced capital punishment in various forms, the government has immediately come out to iron out concerns as well as reassuring the international community and the general public of the consideration of amendment of the death penalty policy by the government after Kazulia was identified to the present on said list. The NGO in question is the Human Rights Foundation, founded and currently run by former Kalistani president and diplomat, Sophia Conti. It was expected that the organization would go about the gradual peeling off of capital punishment from society, but it appears that it has fallen to diplomatic impropriety, after it engaged in a tit-for-tat between Trigunian officials. Director of Communications in the Office of the Statsminister, Bjørnar Bremseth offered insight into the government's stance on the death penalty as well as on the Human Rights Foundation.

The application of Capital punishment is defined by the local courts, but with accordance with our appeals policy, it is possible to appeal the ruling where it will be cross-examined in either the Supreme Court or the Committee for the Constitution. This is made possible as those who have been sentenced to Capital punishment have a two-three month period by which they could either appeal their ruling. Upon a referendum conducted by the Stortinget we could evaluate whether our citizens are willing to introduce a repeal to the current policy. Until them, just as before, the possibility to appeal a capital punishment ruling by a local court to the Supreme Court or the Committee for the Constitution is and will still be an option. Just as amendment/repeal of the policy is currently on the table for consideration

When asked to comment on the government's stance on the mechanics of the Human Rights Foundation based on current information streaming throughout the internet and social media, more specifically on the on-going tit-for-tat between Sophia Conti and the Chairman of the Committee of Minister of the Trigunian Empire Count Vladimir Borisov, Mr. Bremseth stated that it nonsensical and sloppy for both nations to be exchanging words when they should be mediating.

If mediation is need for a specific time, this is the time. If the Human Rights Foundation wants to see results, it is not going to be obtained through engaging in a tit-for-tat over a letter which contained responses which were not called for. It simply relinquishes trust in the effectiveness of the mediation process of the Human Rights Foundation. Ms. Conti, a former diplomat herself should know not to go on portraying as a crusader of a cause (might it be moralistic and/or idealistic.) By her going on the offensive instead of mediating, it reduces pragmatism and flexibility as a diplomat and mediator, as she now takes a course of unnecessary, incoherent and incomprehension driven stances and arguments. This will eventually lead to a decrease in confidence in the mediation skills of said organization as well as the abilities of Ms. Conti to achieve her goals. That is not a stance a "groomed" diplomat and former president should be taking.

Mr. Bremseth ended his address by stating that currently the repeal of the death penalty policy is being discussed between the government and various political factions and will soon move to a referendum stage. He followed by stating that if Kazulia is to uphold western values/ideals the appeal of the death penalty as to make it illegal or only as a judicial response to crimes against humanity and the state, is the correct manner in which both the government and the nation itself should move. It is unclear whether the Human Rights Foundation would be shrouded by tit-for-tats and idealism, or whether it will be the beacon of mediation, pragmatism and resolution. That is matter which could be only put into action by Ms. Conti herself.

Statsminister on Death Penalty and International Relations.
Statsminister discusses Death Penalty and International Relations in Interview with PISK.

Statsminister Rasmus Ingebretsen posses for a picture taken by the Nyheter during his interview with PISK.
11th December 4132

As the controversial Human Rights Foundation, digs itself a much deeper hole as it continuously engages in unnecessary and nonsensical crusades of opinions, it is safe to say that this Human Rights Foundation isn't promoting human rights as it should. This can to be attributed to the fact that recently, the supposed non-government organization was listed as a terrorist organization by the Yeudish government (a government devoted to assimilation of its ethnic and religious minority), and also after Crown Prince of Vanuku, Juhn Banmek-Sntazed slammed the organization for spewing a heavily concentrated leftist agenda. Many, including Statsminister Ingebretsen himself stated that he was unimpressed by the organization's founder, former Kalistani President and diplomat, Sophia Conti's handling of what they call the "gradual abolition of capital punishment".

It was only logical for PISK (Public and International Satellite - Kazulia) to obtain an interview with Statsminister Rasmus Ingebretsen on his view on the application of the death penalty in Kazulia, as well as international affairs. Ingebretsen's interview is as follows:-

(Ellinor Folden, Interviewer): It is a pleasure to have this interview with you Mister Ingebretsen, we know you are not a person of interviews and boisterousness. If we could start off the bat, by asking the question that is on everyone's mind:- Should the Death Penalty be illegal.

(Ramus Ingebretsen, Statsminister): Well firstly, thank you. I believe many people against the application of the death penalty, or capital punishment, always leave our the core meaning of the matter. That is punishment, which was until recently defined as correcting one wronging, by inflicting harm which he/she has deserve for a crime/offensive which he/she has committed. They only focus on the "capital" part. Currently our policy is that it is determined by the local courts, but can be appealed by either the Supreme Court or the Committee for the Constitution. I believe that it should stay, but I am willing to amend the policy to make it so that it should only able for crimes against humanity, acts of terrorism and several other heinous crimes.

F: On that note, what is your take on the Human Rights Foundation?

I: I believe that it could have the potential to be listed as a subordinate body of the World Congress, nevertheless, I am actively against the handling of what many political scientists and scholars call the "gradual abolition of capital punishment" by the Human Rights Foundation. I believe that instead of engaging in tit-for-tats between politicians, the matter could have been brought to the World Congress General Assembly, through the Kalistani Representative. I also believe that instead of stringent condemnation, both the nations and the organizations should mediate. And I stress on the word mediate, a word which send chills down Ms. Conti's spine. If there is one place where mediation and negotiation is needed, it is when matters of human and civil rights is concerned. The Abolition of Capital Punishment, is not going to be obtain universally on the spot, and it is not going to be a fast and easy process. For example, look at our negotiations with Hawu Mumenhes on a trade agreement. It took years, but it was fruitful, because we both knew, that a trade agreement could not have been drawn up on the stop. So to sum my opinion on the Human Rights Foundation, it is not going to be obtain by pouncing on people like lion, they do not like that and will shut you down immediately.

F: Is it possible if we could get your opinion of Ms. Sophia Conti's handling of the process and the Blacklist?

I: If it what the populous wishes to hear, so be it. I find it strange for a diplomat of her sophistication, to be handling the matter as a freedom fighter. I am not saying, that she should not go about promoting her cause, what i am trying to say is that as a former diplomat she should have an advanced understanding on how to approach matters of this magnitude. I will mirror what, i told Mr. Bremseth to say recently. If she goes about crusading her cause in the manner of a "fighter of the truth", she is robbing herself of pragmatism and flexibility as both a diplomat and activist and that is not qualitative. She therefore digs herself a hole of unnecessary, incoherent and nonsensical arguments (which we see unfolding today). On the matter of the Black List, as demonstrated by Crown Prince Juhn Banmek-Sntazed, it will simply be ignored. As such, i would suggest instead of "calling out" nations and applying ineffective pressure for change, she should take the approach which seems to be effectiveness when considering her circumstances, that being sitting down with leaders and talking it out and not going on the offensive when governments deflect her attempts at awareness.

F: Could you comment on the effectiveness of the World Congress and its Security Council?

I: Are you serious? Huh, very well. It has its ups and downs, but i believe that it could get things once. Everyone is on the same page. Which rarely happens. This rarely happens as members are either engaged in tit-for-tats or simply don't care for the proceedings. The handling of the events in Saridan, by both the security council and the general assembly, was a mess. An utter mess, one which i hope will never transpire again. Nevertheless, the issue was resolved without conflict, which i guess of a pass in my book. The events which unfolded in Deltaria, was close to becoming Saridan version 0.2, but i thank Eliyahu that the process was resolved with minor conflict.

F: We know that you and Ms. Ketelsen have bee very vocal about the events still in action in Beiteynu. Could you comment on the effectiveness of the World Congress in resolving that issue?

I: I am sorry to correct you, but that matter wasn't resolved. When the Ambassador of Beiteynu went to the General Assembly an announced their intention for a democratic resolution and the removal of the president, David Stern, it was lip service. Our Intelligence Agencies and the Foreign Ministry have been observing the proceedings in the Knesset, and it is safe to say, nothing was done. The World Congress has not commented on the matter since, which suggests that they have not been keeping tabs on the matter. I do intend on sending our Ambassador to the World Congress back to reintroduce the matter, and guide it through a resolution which will bear actual results.

F: Thank you, Mr. Ingebretsen for your time. We do hope that you enjoy your final term, as we know that you are soon to head into retirement.

I: Thank you.
