Representatives of Felis Supremis Persian Lokasenna and Libertarian Alliance of Cats' Deputy Prime Minister Mr. Pepper the Gray Cat, speak to members at a chamber of commerce meeting, promising to defend the Feline Homeland, and more importantly to get back the money that Davostag owes Barmenian investors.

[Siggon Kristov]

Davostag does not owe money!

says "the Count" of Beluzia.

Barmenians invested money in the "Unholy Davostan Empire" not the "Six Imperial Kingdoms of Davostag" which exists now. The current regime is not responsible for any loss of Barmenian money. The Unholy regime was responsible for protecting Barmenian investments, and it failed at doing that.

Beluzia was once a nation-state, then it became a federal people's republic, and now it's a federation of non-sovereign monarchies. If you invested something under the Nationalist regime, it would be no business of the Socialist Republicans. If you invested something in the Socialist regime, it would be no business of the current Beluzian administration.

Deputy Prime Minister Mr. Peppers always gets repaid. (Unless its in Indralian Funny Money. He doesn't want any of that.)

We expect the entities in Davostag to repay the Barmenian businesses that they owe money to regardless of what government has claimed sovereignty in the region. If the luTHORites want to have their "monarchies" they may feel free to do so, so long as they do not infringe on the peoples' sovereign rights to 1) have a democratic/republican form of government, 2) to act in conjunction with the invisible paw of the free market, 3) worship cats, and 4) re-elect Lord Medivh Evil as President so he can repay us what his country owes us.

Now under this proposed Beluzian Doctrine, Beluzia seems to threaten to default on its debt as well. We in the capitalist community warn Beluzia, and all other IML drone countries that seek to default on their debts, that the free market world will not stand for such actions.

We will clarify that if a new government exists as a separately incorporated entity from the previous government, we would not attempt to take funds that belong to the new government. At the same time, we maintain our ownership claims to assets owed to us by the previous government. We shall collect the assets that we are owed, for it is our right. If the new governments attempt to steal the assets from us, by claiming them for themselves, we will not tolerate that theft. We shall reclaim the property that is rightfully ours.

If and when either Beluzia, Davostag, or any other Luthori drone enters private property owed by Barmenian citizens, the Barmenian citizenry has the right to charge the current Beluzian/Davostagi/IML governments that do so "fees". Most of the Barmenian citizenry has taken part in agreements hiring the Barmenian government to act as an agency fiduciary fund in charge of collecting those "fees". And we will certainly do so, if the incoming Davostagi fleet trespasses on private property here.

Count Kristov Lashes Back!

Beluzia is not a "Luthori drone" as alleged by Barmenia. Beluzia is its own sovereign nation that has no alliance to any other nation, however the individual non-sovereign entities, within Beluzia, have the autonomous right to pursue their own foreign affairs. Our relations with Luthori are based on geographical advantages; we share a large border, and mutual port access serves both economies well, however there is no military relation. Our friendship is economic, and we prevent our militaries from interfering with our economic affairs by maintaining a Non-Aggression agreement.

We are not pro-Davostag in any way; we just think it's ridiculous of Barmenia to make such requests from the current administration, knowing it had nothing to do with Barmenia's assets. Those stuff are left in the past; let them stay there.

Lieutenant General Jörmungandr the Cat is not a feline to be messed with. He will sink his claws into every nemesis of the Feline Homeland Terrawide.

Barmenia has passed the Defense Against Davostag Act. A Lionist and a Libertarian General will be running the conflict. The Libertarians have selected General Rodentia Hunter (a relative of the missing ex-Felis Supremis GALT FREYJA) and Lieutenant General Jörmungandr the Cat.

The Lionists have not yet nominated their Generals. Presumably their war management team will include Defense Minister Christian Felix and Foreign Affairs Minister Thiria Xarfaxis.

[Siggon Kristov]

We don't think the brave soldiers of Davostag are afraid of a few pussies.

said Prime Minister Karen Roberts.

[Siggon Kristov]

Sacked!

High-ranking members, of the Karav Dynasty, forced Prime Minister Karen Roberts to resign after she made a statement that could be interpreted as compromising Beluzia's neutrality.

Deltaria makes a Statement

After observing the emerging war between Barmenia and Davostag, the President of the Federal Republic of Deltaria has made a statement concerning the mounting tensions in between the two nations:

To the governments of Davostag and Barmenia,

The political situation that is emerging in Northern Majatra is perturbing. War in Majatra is not a desirable option, and the nation of Deltaria would actively try to promote peace on Majatran soil. We would send a request to the Barmenian government to renegotiate debt payments to the government of Davostag, and we hope they do comply. As the aggressor in the situation, we would wish Davostag to stop its offensives immediately. The Deltarian Navy has presence in the Majatran Sea and around the continent, and we would hope that the our navy would not have to be activated and forced into conflict, as already seems to be emerging in the form of a conflict of interest between the Deltarian government and the government of Davostag. Again, we would wish for the nation of Davostag to end its hostilities towards Barmenia, and have both enter negotiations for the debt to be settled.
Signed,
Albus Voritas - President of the Federal Republic of Deltaria

Count Kristov Angered By Deltarian Ignorance, Expects Better

Under the leadership of Falamar Aethonis, Barmenia has gravely offended Davostag by calling in debts and assets owned to them by the previous regime, the SRP. King Christian I disagreed stating that Barmenia did business with an illegal dictatorship and that all economic holdings or business with Davostag will have to be renegotiated with the Imperial Council. Barmenia in turn declared war on Davostag in Dec. 3303.

Barmenia claimed the assets, the King of Davostag noted that the problem should have been taken up with the SRP government, and Barmenia declared war after seeing that the King wouldn't be a pushover.
The detbs, owed to Barmenia, are owed by the SRP government. They have nothing to do with the new government. Barmenia needs someone to bully; they need someone who they can take out their anger on, so they declared war on Davostag because they saw it as the only way to get back their bad investments. The mistake of Barmenia was trusting the SRP. The current monarchy has nothing to do with that affair, and should not hold the responsibility of repaying the debts.
The king did say "all economic holdings or business, with Davostag, will have to be renegotiated with the Imperial Council" so there was hope; there was another way to receive compensation for their bad investment, but they chose not to see it.

Barmenia declared war, so they aren't the aggressors. Davostag possibly saw an invasion of Barmenia, and toppling the pussy theocracy, as the best way to avoid an attack on its own citizens. It was done in retaliation to a declaration of war, and it is therefore by all means legitimate. I will go as far as to say Barmenia has made it legal for Davostag's army to attack Barmenians, since Barmenia declared war. By sending troops to a nation, without the permission of its administration, Barmenia is compromising the nation's sovereignty, which is enough to be considered a declaration of war, since it involves the military.

We urge the honourable leaders, of Deltaria, to reconsider their position. We support their bid for peace in Majatra, but we do not believe they should blame Davostag. Davostag already opened itself to negotiations; it is the arrogant Barmenians who need to make peace efforts.

OOC: The invasion is taking too long to start. Let's kick this into action.

Davostag: Start attacking.
Beluzia: If you're going to be a part of this, send in your fleet. Message me if you want to know the current plan for the end of the war.
Deltaria: Welcome on board.
