The Tal Dumat: Minute to the Vice-Minister
Through: the Director-General
Copies to: M Ucharvi, DM Baylis, M Valdir, GG deMakra
MINISTERIAL MINUTE: Succession of Vrak XVIII
Issue:
King Vrak XVIII has taken Vrak Prime and is now in complete de facto control of Vrak.
2. The King aims to integrate Vrak into the Teyrnasoedd of Dyelli Beybi.
3. The Imperial Federal Government has recognised the King’s regime and accepted the integration.
Background:
4. The Glorious Kingdom of Vrak collapsed following the death of King Vrak XVII shortly before the end of the deMaiska Government; the disintegration predates Federation in Macisikan, and ushered in many years of anarchy and warlordism.
5. The collapse followed on the heels of the complete disintegration of the Klatchian Federation; analysts indicate that the then-Covenant bears some of the blame for this disintegration due to the collapse in economic confidence that began in the Aldet markets.
6. Of the former Klatchian States (at their height encompassing over a dozen nations), only Dyelli Beybi, Karmanyaka, and Ilek-Vaad are extant.
7. Dyelli Beybi has been annexing large parts of the former Federated Klatchian Coast; Imperial policy has been to recognise or tacitly endorse these moves. The current government explicitly endorses Dyellian expansion in Klatchia as the only means to stabilise and strengthen the region.
Party Assessment:
8. The nations involved are assessed thus:
a. – Dyelli Beybi is a friendly Advanced Parity nation;
b. – Ilek-Vaad is a capricious Advanced (L) Wanting nation; and
c. – Karmanyaka is a neutral Limited Nonentity.
Impact:
9. Imperial Interests:
d. – Imperial Interests are not threatened;
e. – Imperial security is not threatened; and
f. – A friendly nation is directly involved.
10. This matter is of no material concern to the Federated Empire. Further monitoring is recommended.
Proposed Action:
11. At present the Tal Dumat will continue to monitor the situation for further relevant developments, and report as needed.

That you endorse the decision to continue to monitor the situation.

The Tal Dumat: Minute to the Vice-Minister
Through: the Director-General
Copies to: P Valdir, M Ucharvi, DM Baylis, M Tusenni, DM Le’Tegar, GG deMakra, G deIntaan, CM Vatrahk
MINISTERIAL MINUTE: Heightened Risk Of Sectarian Strife in Vrak/Domestic Security Threat
Issue:
The King of Vrak (Vrak XVIII) has publically converted to Christianity (Dyellian Episcopalianism).
2. The King has also invited the organisation commonly known as the Knights Templar to recruit within the State of Vrak and has gifted the organisation significant amounts of land.
3. The King has also formed his own order of knights in Christian Holy Orders called the “Order of the Dragon” as a measure of the depth of the conviction of his conversion.
Background:
4. The primary religion of the nation of Vrak is the Faith of Bok, a polytheistic faith. The last census taken by the Glorious Kingdom indicated that at least 90% of the country, including nearly all Walvraks, was adherents of the Faith.
5. The King holds the position of the Vice-Regent of Bok on Earth; analogous to the First Cardinal of the Maciskan Orthodox Church. Unlike the MOC, the King of Vrak never delegated control of the Faith of Bok to a senior cleric or clerics within the religion and therefore remains head of the Faith. Following the Intercession Incident by an entity claiming to be an avatar of Bok, certain sections of the population are fanatical in their devotion to the Faith.
6. The Tal Dumat anticipates an extremely high risk of sectarian violence within the next month in Vrak. Analysis indicates that local authorities can expect demonstrations, unrest, and terrorist activity within the next six months.
7. Currently there are approximately 5.3 million Walvraks resident in Vrakiska Province, and an additional 10.8 million humans of Vrakian descent resident in the province. These ethnic minorities were stranded in, or fled to, the Realm during and after the collapse of order in the Glorious Kingdom. The vast majority remain adherents to the Faith of Bok. We anticipate that this development will be received poorly, and there is a distinct likelihood that there will be civil disorder and unrest as a result, targeting Dyellian interests within the Realm.
Impact:
8. Imperial Interests:
a. – Imperial Interests are not threatened;
b. – Imperial domestic security faces a minor threat in Vraksika Province and in the Diplomatic Precinct of Arn-Maciska; and
c. – A friendly nation is directly involved.
9. This matter is of concern to the Federated Empire. Proposed action is outlined below.
Proposed Action:
10. The Minister for Public Safety is to be advised that there is a distinct possibility for civil disorder resulting from sectarian tension among our Vrakian ethnic minority; we advise that the Tal M’rek should monitor the Macisikani Vrakian ethnic minority population for signs of terrorist activity; we consider this to be a credible threat.
11. The Garda Síochána of Varkiska Province should be placed on heightened alert for the possibility of civil unrest up to and including riot; we consider this to be a credible threat.
12. The Gendarmerie and the Royal City of Maciska Garda Síochána should be alerted to a heightened risk of terror activity and civil disorder directed against the Dyellian Embassy; we consider this to be a credible threat.
13. The Department of Immigration, Tourism, and Citizenship to recommend “Avoid All Travel” to Vrak and all districts and localities within Dyelli Beybi proper that are bordering Vrak, as well as Port Olympus and other urban centres with a significant Vrakian population. DITC should also put out a travel alert to Dyellian tourists and merchants to Exercise a High Degree of Caution in Arn-Maciska.

Sectarian Protests Erupt in Vrakiska Province
Vrakian King’s Conversion Provokes Outrage
Hapshetsia Savidir in Arn-To’Vrak
The Arn-Maciska Times
The First Newspaper: serving the Ancestral City, and through it, the Realm
Protesters have flooded Arn-To’Vrak’s Grand Civic Square demanding the Imperial Federal Government withdraw their recognition of King Vrak XVIII. The protests are dominated by the Province’s Vrakian ethnic majority, with Walvraks prominent among the crowds.
Clerics of the Faith of Bok are apparently leading the protesters, and say that their demonstrations are in response to the King’s public conversion to Christianity, and his establishment of a Christian holy order of knights. The Times spoke to one of the clerics leading the demonstrations.The King of Vrak is our conduit to Bok. King Vrak is at the doorway between the divine and material planes; he intercedes on our behalf with Bok, and is supposed to be faithful and ordained by the Prophet of Bok. How can he do that when he has joined another faith? You cannot serve two masters when one demands you forsake all others. Joining the Dyellian nation is just politics, but this conversion is a betrayal of us and of our ancestors.
Ethnic Vrakian community leaders have addressed the protests, calling for the Imperial Federal Government to cut off diplomatic relations with King Vrak XVIII’s administration. They say they are lobbying the Vrakiskan Provincial Government to have their delegates raise the issue in the Provincial Consultative Assembly. Chief Minister Vatrahk’s Government has not issued a statement, and declined to comment publicly.
A spokesperson for Arn-To’Vrak’s Garda Síochána estimated the crowds in Grand Civic Square to be at least two thousand strong. The demonstrations have so far been peaceful, although they have grown rapidly; the Garda Síochána anticipates that over five thousand people will be protesting tomorrow, and is working with local businesses.
A smaller demonstration of a few dozen people took place outside the Dyellian Embassy in Arn-Maciska yesterday, but organisers say they expect to draw a larger crowd today. The Ambassador-General’s office has declined to comment.
A spokesperson for the Vice-Ministry for Extraregional Representation has stated that the Imperial Federal Government considers this a local affair.

Official Communiqué from the Embassy of the Teyrnasoedd Sanctaidd Cloi
The Dyellian Teyrnasoedd has always been a friend to the people of Vrak, since time immemorial and it is our sincerest wish that this recent event will not cause long-term damage to that relationship, for we have entered into our agreement with the Vrakian King with only the best intentions. For any who doubt us, I would challenge them to find an occasion in history when we, the Dyellian people, have ever dealt with our Vrakian neighbours in an underhand or dishonourable way.
We understand the concerns of the Bokist Priests and lay leadership, but let us assure you that neither we, nor King Vrak XVIII have any intention of causing discomfort to the Bokist religion. While we are a Christian nation, we are not one which is completely intolerant and it is our promise that the Bokist religion will enjoy the same protected Status as the indigenous religions of Talv, Fasta Benj, Alitakia and the Djel Valley. While I will not deny that their are many Dyellians who would seek converts, these people have been operating in Vrak for years, nothing has changed. There is nothing for the followers of Bok to fear, they will simply be joining the 405,522,610 other followers of polytheistic religions in the Teyrnasoedd.
As for the religious beliefs of the King. We would ask that the Vrakian people be patient. The King, like every other person, is deserving of the right to practice his faith as he sees fit. We understand that this has caused complications for the followers of Bok, however, King Vrak is dedicated to resolving this issue post haste. The Bokist religion will have a head who is not a Christian. Let us not forget, however, in calling for the King's abdication, that the King has restored order to Vrak and promised elections for the first time in Vrakian history. He has given hope to a country that has had none for many long years. I would ask the Vrakian population of the Empire to please think of their relatives in Klatch before calling for his abdication, for without Vrak XVIII there might be no Vrak.
I would also invite all persons who wish to discuss this matter more closely to come to the Embassy compound at 7:00 pm in two days time. I will be able to answer your questions in my capacity as Emissary for King Vrak. I ask for two days so that I may have time to consult with his Most Glorious Highness and ensure that what I say is a true reflection of his will.

Schism in Arn-To’Vrak
Clerics in Vrakiska Break With Vrak Prime
Hapshetsia Savidir in Arn-To’Vrak
The Arn-Maciska Times
The First Newspaper: serving the Ancestral City, and through it, the Realm
Bokist priests in Arn-To’Vrak today announced they have officially split from the Bokist Faith in Vrak Prime.
Speaking to reporters, Jur Tyuliok, head of the Bokist faith in Vas’Sivir, declared that the heads of the main Bokist temples in Vrakiska no longer paid heed to the faith in Vrak.It is clear that the conduit to the gods is corrupted beyond repair. The will of Bok is obvious; a new conduit must be found from amongst the true faithful. To that end, leading clerics of Bok from across Vrakiska gathered in closed session, and we have chosen one among the faithful to serve as the true intercessor with the Gods, as the Divine of the Faithful of Bok.
The identity of the Divine has been confirmed as Merok Ratyuig, the youngest and only known living son of Jur Ratyuig, the Minister of Rites under King Vrak XVI. His Holiness fled to the Imperial Confederacy with his children following the Second Collapse of the Vrakian government and was granted asylum, becoming an Imperial citizen.
Jur Ratyuig was allegedly annointed King of Vrak by the being calling itself the Emissary of Bok, however his current status and whereabouts are unknown. The status of the rest of the Ratyuig family is also unknown. Most Bokists viewed the Emissary as a true messenger of the deity. A spokesman for the Divine has forestalled any question on disputing the Vrakian throne:Becoming an Imperial Citizen requires a pledge of loyalty to the Realm and an oath of allegiance to the Serene Majesty. All claim to the Vrakian throne was renounced, then and forever, on that day in Arn-Jaf'na. His Holiness, our Divine, acknowledges the sovereignty of our Cenobirach, the King-Emperor Constantinus VII, long may he live; that is the only King we care for.
Chief Minister Vatrahk’s office issued a statement a short while ago saying that the Divine will be meeting with the Chief Minister, before the two address the crowds in Grand Civic Square.

The Dyellians, which was to say Black and Raedar, appeared a few minutes early, though there was no expectation that their hosts would come out to meet them any earlier than arranged - if anyone was eavesdropping on the pair's banter, it would seem that Black had misread traffic conditions.
Raedar was perhaps a little more muscled than the typically skinny Djel, and was 45 years old, although being a Djel he looked somewhat younger. He had a deep, hooked nose and a mop of curly black hair. On this particular day he wore a pale grey suit and had been convinced by his aides to wear a thin blue tie (usually he baulked at such 'Western' attire). He was, according to Dyellian public files, Director of the Hasmonean 'Ministry of Procurement', which was a fancy way of saying the person charged with negotiating arms purchases from the other Dyellian States. It was perhaps a surprise that they had not sent one of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Trade from one of the larger States, presumably this was part of the Imperial initiative to be more inclusive of minorities.
