OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE OF THE ARMED REPUBLIC OF CYLARN
To all Coalition Member-Nations,
Like yourselves, Cylarn was once gung-ho about going into Milograd to restore order and peace to its citizens. We soon found that this was not the case, as even our combined strength could not stand up against that of Milograd and its entire region. If you proceed with military operations, I am afraid to say that Milograd and its allies will not let your actions go unpunished, for they will turn the tables on all of you and proceed to invade your nations. This will create a much bigger conflict and more people will die. I ask that you all cease military operations against Milograd and that an armistice be put into place so that the coalition and Milograd can have peace talks. If an armistice is agreed on, then I will ask that you all come to Bastion for peace talks.
Sincerely,
James Francis Bulger
President of the Armed Republic of Cylarn
OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE OF THE ARMED REPUBLIC OF CYLARN
To the leader of Milograd,
This conflict has simply gone on long enough. I understand why you are fighting; they threaten the isolationism of Milograd, but I beg of you not to invade their nations after repelling their troops. I ask that you approve of an armistice so that peace talks can be held. If the armistice is agreed upon by all warring nations, then I ask that you come to Bastion for peace talks.
Sincerely,
James Francis Bulger
President of the Armed Republic of Cylarn

We, the undersigned, have taken notice of the recent outbreak of hostilities between the First Dh'arconian Empire of Milograd and the Respublika Dneprdaniya. A series of threats have been exchanged between both sides, and there have been bloody skirmishes between both nations, as well as between their allies. There have also been acts of shocking violence committed in this conflict. Notably, we point to the indiscriminate orbital bombing of civilians in the Respublika Dneprdaniya by the military forces of certain Gothic states and their allies, as well as public guarantees of the colonial subjugation of the Respublika Dneprdaniya and the possible mass deportation or extermination of Dneprdanii nationals following said subjugation by Gothic and Gothic-allied forces. As an example, we refer to the text of the so-called "Writ of Extermination" issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Empire of All Jagites. We also refer to the declaration from the Grand Fascist Union of the United World Order, promising that "[A]ll hostile countries operating or going to operate against the First Dh'arconian Empire of Milograd...will be eliminated and purged by Unitedian Military Forces."
As the international community may or may not be aware, the Respublika Dneprdaniya is geographically located within the greater Novan region.
We, the undersigned, view this current crisis and its proximity to our sovereign territory with ample concern. While the war in space threatens to inflict trillions of international dollars in losses upon non-combatant nations, the indiscriminate bombardment of civilian targets within Nova by Gothic forces has placed, and, for the duration of the conflict, will continue to jeopardize the security of nonbelligerent states domiciled in Nova and likewise place in danger the lives of billions of Novans who presently reside therein, to say nothing of the potential collateral damages caused by Gothic expeditionary forces and their allies should they be fully deployed within our region. We will ask the leaders of Gothic and Gothic-aligned states to take the time to determine whether the civilians who now are threatened with butchery are Dneprdanii citizens, or merely instead perhaps foreign travellers stranded because the aircraft and ships that were to be used for their evacuation were destroyed by indiscriminate Gothic orbital strikes. Recent history has demonstrated that the degree of consideration afforded to non-combatants by the Gothic Lords and the armed forces under their command has regrettably been unsatisfactory by the standards of the international community at large; hence our grave concern regarding these matters.
As such we, the undersigned, acting in our capacities as the leaders of the states of the greater Novan region and states with significant strategic interests therein, hereby announce our intent to invoke the Protocol on Territorial Sovereignty and Independent Self-Governance, hereafter referred to as the "Dagora Doctrine," the present version of which is attached in the interests of transparency, and oppose further acts of indiscriminate Gothic or Gothic-aligned aggression directed at, in, above or around the greater Novan region. We further demand that the "Writ of Extermination" issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs of the Empire of All Jagites be immediately rescinded, that the Grand Fascist Union of the United World Order retract its threats to exterminate the Dneprdanii people and colonize their lands, and that any and all deliberate attacks to be conducted by any party against the Dneprdanii civilian population be halted immediately. We further state for the record that any Gothic or Gothic-aligned attempts to establish a colony, puppet-state or any variation thereof within the Respublika Dneprdaniya must be abandoned, immediately and permanently, because we, as the denizens of the region, find such actions detrimental to our security and the security of the region.
We, the undersigned, wish to emphasize that we do not condone the actions of the Respublika Dneprdaniya which preceded the outbreak of hostilities. We do not condone the irresponsible actions committed by elements of the Dneprdanii military or the failure of its leaders to restrain them. We likewise frown upon the actions of those who intend to blot the Dneprdanii nation from existence. The threats to commit genocide against the Dneprdanii people represent a clear and present danger to greater Novan regional security because permitting such actions to take place within our region would represent a dubious legal precedent by which parties hostile to the security of the region could justify the future extermination of the native populaces thereof, and as such, they will not be tolerated. Additionally, we recognize that the existence of a Gothic-friendly puppet state or colony, or any puppet state or colony formed in an occupied Dneprdaniya, represents an intolerable threat to the national security of each and every state in the greater Novan region.
That being said it is our hope, first and foremost, that a peaceful solution to this crisis can be reached, and we call upon representatives of the nations of both sides to sit down and settle their differences peacefully in a neutral, third-party state or other agreeable diplomatic forum, to be determined by mutual consent. We also request that the Respublika Dneprdaniya recall its forces to their home ports in an act of good faith, and that those Gothic and non-Gothic nations aligned against Dneprdaniya will agree to an immediate cease-fire and recall their own forces in anticipation of a permanent cessation of hostilities. We also believe that the precedent set by the First Dh'arconian Empire of Milograd in choosing to honor the cessation of interference by the Lemon Islands will be repeated and that the Dneprdanii government will agree to cease its acts of interference and refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of the First Dh'arconian Empire of Milograd in the future. While we recognize that the participants will have to decide for themselves what will constitute the terms of an acceptable peace, we must express our preference for a return to the status quo ante bellum. We will, of course, remain open to further diplomatic discussions to be held in whichever medium the nations involved so choose.
However, in case some might doubt our resolve, then as permitted under the Dagora Doctrine, the nations of Nova and our allies abroad reserve the right to act as we best see fit to uphold the territorial integrity of our region. We therefore, acting with a reliance on the principles of international order and the security interests of Nova, have found it fitting to pledge our support for this declaration, and as the leaders of the sovereign states of Nova, we have caused our signatures to be affixed hereto so that we may attest to our intention to uphold it.
Signed,

The Governments signatory hereto, being Members of the Nova region and its sub-regions,
RECOGNISING that Nova, as an independent and technologically advanced region, has the right towards its own self-governance;
CONSCIOUS of the fact that the presence of foreign military bases in any part of Nova, its sub-regions, and the protectorates and dependencies of Novan nations may constitute a threat to the peace and security of the region as a whole;
DETERMINED that Nova, as a region, has declared an end to foreign imperialism towards the nations of Nova or the lands within Nova itself, an end to foreign exploitation of Novan citizens, and an end to foreign military expansion within Nova itself;
COMMITTED to a common vision of a united and strong Nova, based on the scrupulous respect for the principles of pacific coexistence, non-aggression, non-interference in the internal affairs of Member States, mutual respect for individual sovereignty and territorial integrity of each State;

All foreign external powers must end military expansion within Nova, or face the combined political, economic and military might of the region as a whole, inter alia:
- The High Parties agree to recognise and enforce an air, sea (surface and subsurface) exclusive zone around Nova, otherwise known as the Nova Regional Exclusive Zone (hereby the "NREZ").
- The NREZ shall extend from 10,000 km (5,399.5 nautical miles) measured from the outermost boundary of the territorial waters and national air space of all States, territories and dependencies within Nova, and shall encompass the seabed, high seas and the airspace above to the limit of the upper atmosphere (defined as an altitude of 1,000 km).
- The High Parties agree that civilian and merchant vessels and aircraft of all States within and without Nova shall enjoy the right of innocent and unmolested passage through the NREZ at times of peace.
- All foreign military forces large enough to pose a threat towards any nation-state, city, protectorate or dependency within Nova, are hereby banned from entering the NREZ or being based in the region.
- Under circumstances where foreign forces may seek to enter the NREZ or become based on territory within Nova, permission must be sought from one or more Member States of the region. Moreover, any Member State has the right to challenge said entrance on behalf of its own national security.
- Foreign military invasions are no longer accepted. Any foreign military forces who come upon land and claim, conquer, annex, or settle it in the name of any foreign sovereign, parliament, or national executive body will be met by appropriate force from joint Novan forces.
- Any land claimed by a non-Novan power will require these claims to be approved by nearby Member States of the Nova region. Moreover, any other Member State has the right to challenge said claim on behalf of its own national security.
- Violation of Article I, inter alia clauses A through G, by any State Party domiciled outside Nova will be met by appropriate force from one or more Member States domiciled within Nova as per any pre-agreed mutual defence agreements.
ARTICLE II
All foreign attacks on Member States of the Nova region, their protectorates, dependencies, cities, or nationals will be met by appropriate force by one or more Member States in Nova.

- In the event that a foreign power uses military force against a Member State, that Novan nation has the right to not only ask fellow Member States for aid, but also for other Novan nations to rightfully respond.
- In the event that a foreign power launches an invasion of Nova as a whole, enters Novan territorial waters uninvited, or poses a threat to one or more Member States, they will be met by appropriate force merited by their actions by one or more Member States per any pre-agreed mutual defence agreements.
- In the event that this attack is not military in nature, but still bears a malicious intent towards a national government in Nova, one or more Member States are merited in a military-based response.
ARTICLE III
All foreign military forces attempted to enter Nova by peaceful means may find their paths blocked.
- Foreign military bases are permitted within Nova, but in the event that one or more Member States finds said military bases a threat to their national security or regional stability, then these bases must be removed.

- Foreign powers may not hold training exercises or wargames within Nova without special permission of Member States to hold such exercise in or close to their territory.
ARTICLE IV
Member States have no obligation to act in the defence of other Member States if they cannot show just cause to do so, and may refuse to render assistance when they judge that a Member State through its own actions has brought itself and the entire region into disrepute.
- If the Member Nation has provoked or initiated hostilities without proper causis belli.
- Has entered into a conflict in defence of an ally outside Nova without proper casus foederis.
- Has resorted to war against another state under a manufactured pretext.
- Has launched an unprovoked attack against a peaceful state.
- Has undertaken military operations to resolve a minor diplomatic disagreement with another state.
- Has threatened to or used force for the purpose of conquering or acquiring extra-regional territory through annexation.

If any party considers it necessary to terminate this agreement, it may do so by notifying all Member States three (3) days in advance of the effective date of termination.IN WITNESS WHEREOF, WE, the undersigned, being the Heads of State or Government, or duly authorised representatives thereto, have signed this Protocol.

Re: Salzland Dagora Doctrine Announcement in relation to Hostilities Between Milograd & Respublika Dneprdaniya
OPEN, FOR PUBLIC RELEASE
Excellency:
On behalf of the government of the Unitary Technocracy of Etoile Arcture I communicate our intention to support the position taken by the governments of the Armed Republic of Salzland, the Tribal Dominion of Vetaka, and other partner nations in Nova in relation to the ongoing conflict between Respublika Dneprdaniya and the First Dh'arconian Empire of Milograd.
We make the position of our government clear to all parties that under the provisions of the Protocol on Territorial Sovereignty and Independent Self Governance, otherwise known as the Dagora Doctrine, the Unitary Technocracy will, alongside its international partners, resist with its full force the physical entry of any foreign military expedition into the region of Nova regardless of its origin or purpose.
We wish it to be known that this statement in no way constitutes a declaration of support for, or of tacit approval of the actions of the Respublika Dneprdaniya. Any measures taken by us within the framework of the Dagora Doctrine are taken within the context of preserving regional security and stability. We will not under any circumstances provide material aid or assistance to Respublika Dneprdaniya, and make clear that no treaty of alliance exists between our two nations. We have until this point and intend to continue to adhere to a strict policy of neutrality in regards to the current conflict.
In the interests of peace, security and stability in both Nova and Gholgoth, we urge the involved parties to negotiate a swift resolution to this war. We would support the initiative of any honest broker to act as a mediator towards this end, and wholeheartedly endorse President Daniel Pearce of Vetaka's offer to provide his good offices to resolve the crisis.
Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.(signed) Dr. Soledad Martin
