Dear Syahnan Soeharto,
It has come to the attention of the King of Canada that your nation has placed a doctrine on which they will follow rules set forth by the doctrine in which the subjects of the rules were specified.

There was once somebody I knew who had a whole set of laws set forth that they would always follow. Sad to say they never were true to their word. Mr. Soeharto rules are meant to bring broken.

Now I know this whole this decleration is not a set of rules but it seems though this is a code on which your nations foreign ministry will follow. Neverthless we still admire your prowess in this matter and we appluad your actions.

Sincerely,

[Yohannes]

Attn:The Dual Imperial Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes
From:The Foreign Ministry of the Holy Cailene Empire of Azura
Date:Thursday, the Seventeenth of March, Two Thousand and Eleven.
Subj:The Declaration of Valedonia

To the Dual Imperial Monarchy:

The Holy Cailene Empire of Azura—per the authority granted to me, the Great and Noble Achæon of the Holy Cailene Empire of Azura, Caius Anaximander IV—would like to applaud you for your recent decision to take a more decisive stance against the human chattel trade. While we applaud you for your evocative declaration, we shall reserve further comment in this matter until we have seen your hand be put into practice. We wish not to imply that we distrust, nor scoff at the measures you have sought to undertake. Far be it for us to take to task an honorable nation that seeks to end the morally reprehensible slave trade, which has for far too long kept our human brethren fettered in chains.
On the contrary, the Azuran Empire is always prepared to stand with a fellow ally in the fight against human slavery, and will furthermore support you in your endeavors to the end of the Earth, and the expiration of all times. We do wish, however, to urge caution in the vast powers your country has now purposed to exploit. While your aim is true, we shudder at the potential for your new power to be grossly abused by successors to the throne of the Dual Imperial Monarchy who may not share your penchant for the tastes of moral living.
Consider my missive to you this day... a fond token of my affection towards a nation who the Azuran people are proud to call allies—and a friendly reminder that wanton aggression, no matter its purpose, shall one way or another be checked before it can spread and eat away at the peace we now share like a cancer. We wish you great fortune in your new direction, people of Anagonia-Yohannes, and pray that your aim remains forever true.

As it is done in Heaven, so shall it be done on Earth.


By the Hand of His Majesty the Great and Noble Achæon of the Holy Cailene Empire
Caius Anaximander IV
The Supreme Potentate of the Métropolitain and Glorious Imperator of the Cosmopolite
Faithful Sovereign and Virtuous Defender of the Empire of the Holy Cailene Church,

Subject : Diplomatic Communication

Dear honourable sir and/or madam,

---

Noble ally and honourable brothers, we thank you once again for your people's never-ending international support towards the empire's latest diplomatic initiative, that of the Valedonian Declaration. As you can see good sir and/or madam, we have indeed put into practise and applied upon the very thing which we promised to accomplish within the Valedonian Declaration. Within the past weeks we have together watched as the Empire of Anagonia-Yohannes, its government and people, assisted the honourable defensive network of Incursus, in the name of freedom, justice, and liberty. As we both have observed, this declaration would indeed not be that of a simple political bluff. It shall be put, and even as we speak today, has been put into effect henceforward.

In reply to your second point honourable minister, i as the Foreign Affairs Minister of the Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy hereby assure you indeed that the vast cultural, economic, military, and political power of the empire shall not be used lest the presence of a strong casus-belli can be indicated throughout different perspective associated with the various unique potential circumstance(s). Rest assure however, that the possibility of a situation in which the Azuran Empire and the Anago-Yohannesian Empire would find each other at a different side of the field of battle, would indeed be impossible to even imagine upon, lest any unexpectedly and tragic extraordinary political initiative(s) went alongside the impossibility of such a tragedy to ever traverse and torn the bilaterally close and mutual diplomatic relationship between the Azuran and Anago-Yohannesian Empire.

We thank you for your letter most honourable ally, and may both the Azuran Empire and the Anago-Yohannesian Empire last for a thousand years.

Dear Thomium Narculis

---

Honourable sir, we thank you once again for representing the Grand Duchy of Dewhurst-Narculis in voicing your represented governmental and national sovereignty's opinion in regard to the latest ratification and amendment of the Valedonian Act. As the minister of foreign affairs of the empire, it is with a sense of happiness and sureness that the Dewhurst-Narculian Grand Duchy is deemed as one of the Anago-Yohannesian Empire's current list of favourable states to engage in inter-cultural, economic, and political dealing with. The political stability that has been for a long time indeed been the hallmark of the Dewhurst-Narculian Grand Duchy's ruling government most prioritised factors in maintaining a prosperous and secure societal make-up has established the way for various Anago-Yohannesian businessmen and women, ever wishing to expanding their scope of business operations internationally, to invest and operate upon the many prosperous urban and rural dwellings within the Dewhurst-Narculian Grand Duchy.

As a result, Anago-Yohannesian and Dewhurst-Narculian interacted and exchanged experiences with each other, whether it be culturally, economically, and/or or politically. The fusion of multinational ideas led to a mutual positive growth, in terms of cultural, economic, and political maturity, of the various Anago-Yohannesian and Dewhurst-Narculian involved within this most challenging, confusing, and yet rewarding process known as the process of internationalisation. The exchanging of ideas, to and fro two and/or more nationalities, paving the way for a greater human development in terms of cultural, economic, and political knowledge and potential.

Anago-Yohannesian businesses within the Dewhurst-Narculian Grand Duchy prospered as a result, and the exact same cases can be found upon Dewhurst-Narculian businesses within the Anago-Yohannesian Empire and its overseas territorial administrative holdings. Without the presence of an internally-governmental initiated political stability, such a scope of growth and prosperity cannot be realised upon, for the spectacle of an instability, importantly that of political instability, will surely hampered the potential of one's ability to seize the initiative to become something more, to grow and show what they can do for their fellow kindsmen and women, and ultimately, nation and society.

The Dewhurst-Narculian Grand Duchy has been an epitome of such an enlightened progress, where the presence of a monarchy-form of government catalyse the very essence of societal growth itself. The Grand Duchy did not engage in the backward political form of government known to mankind as that of an absolute paternal autocratism, or more commonly known as an absolute monarchism. For that, good sir, we will have to praise be the wise move initiated by the Dewhurst-Narculian ruling government for the past six years, and ultimately, the honourable handling of internal politics by none other than that of the respectable Grand Duke himself.

The Empire of Anagonia-Yohannes shall always held a favourable view towards the Grand Duchy of Dewhurst-Narculis, its ruling government, and ultimately, its people. May the bond entrusted upon by faith itself between the Anago-Yohannesian and Dewhurst-Narculian people last for an indeterminable time to come.

The corridor of the honourable ancestors.

A reflection of countless aspirations, dreams, and voices. Its surrounding stone walls, anciently filled with the irreplacable and priceless passage of history itself, astride of the innumerable cracks identifying the past presence of destiny and story of a thousand generations, whispered upon one's sanity of the never-ending passage of civilisation and mankind.

A corridor of sanctity and soul.

The spot whereby the name Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy was painted upon the very chapter of history itself, proudly embellished upon the year 1987. Never forgotten and put aside, up to the present day. For it was here that the history of the Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy was made, and the unification of a divided brothers and sisters forever consolidated.

She walked slowly whilst ignoring the commotion around her.

Ceara Bickerton had always fancy it this way. She looked at the bright and blue sky above, rasing her head slowly at the peaceful assymetry and metaphor of heaven's presence itself. The soothing and morning breeze could be felt upon her face, and she was enlightened yet more by the wonderful feeling itself.

She walked slowly towards the left stonewall. A broken yet identifiable painting of the historical flaming vanguard of phoenix itself, flying and proudly extending its majestic wings upon the resemblance of countless commoners. Courage and tenacity could be felt upon as one looked upon the legendary creature of fantasy and numerous tales.

"Courage...", the First Minister of the Imperial and Royal Authority, the highest executive authority within the Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy, whispered to herself.

She looked straight at the creature's glaring eyes. "Surely i will need it..", and she sighed. Her nervousness hidden within her unshakeable wall of stone, built by her alongside the rite of passage itself, and marked permanently with numerous past experiences.

Ceara Bickerton was unlike any other previous First Minister of the Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy. Pragmatic and strong-willed, she was deemed publicly within the Dual Monarchy as one of the most popular executive head of government within all its constituent states' history. Born in 02 July 1970 within the atmosphere of a working class family, Bickerton's pragmatic approach towards life, and consequently the realm of politics, was consolidated by the time she reached the age of seventeen.

Her father was the strong figure within the household, as her mother was a dedicated housewife, forever held accountable for her, and all her two siblings' positive achievements in life. She was nurtured the way that she was meant to be; as the oldest daughter within a working class household, Bickerton's mother guided her through the wonderful maze of life itself.

The importance of education, aspiration within one's life, and of course, she thought amusingly even now, the intriguing case of love and males.

She smiled to herself, even now the vision of these wonderful moments within her life still not ceased to amaze her. The alternative vision of whether she would have become a physiatrist or perhaps, a loving housewife within a prosperous household as she once wanted to be, was neither here nor there, she thought to herself. What was of importance would be the fact that without her parents' benevolent and loving guidance, Bickerton would not made it as far as she could ever be as of now.

She looked up at the sky again. Her dark blue eyes could not hide the accumulation of small tears, gaining momentum slowly as she was reminded of her loving father and mother, and her moment of childhood. She had felt this sense of lost for quite some time, ever since her mother passed away six years ago, and finally and most devastatingly to her, the passing of her father a year after that.

And finally, the wave of tears engulfed upon her, nonetheless her effort to block her sadness could not even hold the realisation that her loving father would not be there to guide her way through the maze of life itself.

She raised her right hand to wipe her tears, whilst her left hand was holding an embroided piece of paper. It was not just another normal letter. It was an official letter, symbolised as a "declaration act". Within the Anago-Yohannesian empire, ever since its unification as a single national and political entity in 1987, the "declaration of act" had always been one of the highest order within the hierarchy of numerous other "official acts".

The word declaration within the act part itself was put forward as a way to emphasize the fact that any act associated with that word would be directed at not the domestic realm of the Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy itself, but the international realm of innumerable and countless nations. An act directed towards the international community.

It was not since the unification of the Dual Monarchy in 1987 that a declaration act was made.

Indeed, Bickerton thought amusingly, her wave of tears was finally receding at last, the first and only official declaration act was constitutionally and officially made and announced only in 2 December 1987 , when the Kingdom of Yohannes and the Confederate States of Anagonia decided to unite under one national banner, as the imperial and royal sovereignty of the Dual Imperial Monarchy of Anagonia-Yohannes, and unofficially and popularly known by its close associated nations and unofficial allies as the Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy, or the Dual Monarchy.

But then again, even she agreed within her heart that this second declaration act was made to finally emphasize upon the position of the empire in regard to its foreign affairs and relations towards the international community of varying national sovereignties.

She sat upon one of the mahogany-coloured wooden seat located just on her left side, whilst slowly reading the letter issued to her by the Imperial Diet, the supreme entity of legislative assembly within the land of the rising sun.

---

She knew that the recent establishment of cultural, economic, and military alliance made between the Lamonian Free Republic, stratocratic Lyran Protectorate, and the Anago-Yohannesian Monarchy, was one of the major reason behind the establishment of this recent declaration act.

The said letter was issued to her two days ago, and as according to the laws written upon the #117 Ministerial Act, Bickerton was under the law, restricted from reading upon the said letter, and consequently, act in accordance to her possible reaction towards the legislated decision, until at least the second of the day the initial and completed letter was sent constitutionally towards her working desk.

If her mind had not betrayed her, exactly more or less around this moment that the declaration act would finally be announced publicly and officially towards the international community, and its associated national sovereignties and represented entities.

Knowing amusingly that the restriction was finally gone, she opened the folded letter, and slowly read upon the written piece of legislation.

It read.

To: His Imperial and Royal Majesty Hamengkubuwono II, King of Yohannes, Emperor of Anagonia, etc., etc.
Re: Recent developments.

Your Majesty,

I thought that my eyes had taken leave of reality as I read this morning's briefings, for surely an established, respected nation such as Yohannes could not issue such a patently absurd, small-minded and sovereignty-trampling "law". However, either reality is just that unpleasant, or not only my eyes are in need of a reacquaintance with it, but those of my entire Crown Council, my secretariat and sundry others I verified this news with.

As you may have guessed thus far, reactions to this act were...not entirely positively-received in Constantinopolis Secundus, largely due to the fact that it constitutes a unilateral, and highly arrogant, declaration of supreme sovereignty: that Yohannes and its various subject states may, at any time, for any reason (or none at all) and in any fashion, meddle in the affairs of any other nation it chooses.

We think not. While we, unlike some, will exercise restraint as regards nations unknown to us, know this: any such attempted "intervention", or any other form of meddling, perpetrated by the Kingdom of Yohannes upon the Empire, any of the Empire's friends, or any state allied to the Empire, shall be considered - with the pre-awarded consent of the Imperial Senate (351-140) - an open declaration of war upon the Empire (our present shared affiliation with the alliance known as Incursus notwithstanding), and responded to accordingly with the full might of the Imperial Armed Forces. Call our "bluff" at your peril.

With Our utmost Contempt;

Eirena Sofiana Doukaina-Palaiologina
Empress and Lady of New Chalcedon
Grand Duchess of Constantinopolis Secundus
Defender of the Realm and of the Faith
etc., etc.
