Greetings your highness,

We heard the recent news about Great Iberia, we are sincerely sorry for your loss. We are ailing with the fact that there are many people being infected but also we are hopeful since we are bringing it under control in our region. Congratulations on the recovery of your nation and the fact that the outbreak is over in your nation. Please, accept our offering for an alliance after this outbreak is over.

Kindest regards,

Charles Treyarch
President of Soldati Senza Confini.

From the Government of the UKGI

His Majesty sends his deepest thanks to His Excellency, President Treyarch for keeping the Iberian people in his thoughts. I beseech thee to understand that His Majesty may be unable to formulate a personal reply as of the moment - the plague has weighed down heavily on our young lord's shoulders. I think we can both agree that a twelve year-old monarch, who, not even being on the throne for an entire year at this point in time, should never have to watch his subjects perish as they did under the horde of the undead.

His Majesty's viceroys, cardinals, advisers, marshals, dukes and barons stand by him, and all stand in solidarity for the formal opening of diplomatic relations with Soldati Senza Confini after this crisis has ended.

Until then,

Truly Yours:

Lord Ganix Battalan,
Grand Viceroy of the United Kingdom; Regent to H.I.M. Gustavo II

News Update from the United Kingdom of Great Iberia

Lord Regent Battalan, Grand Viceroy to the Throne of Castille, has ordered for an immediate quarantine of the city slums and suburban neighborhoods, after noticing that a great majority of the now dead, constituting about 20% of the UK's entire population, are concentrated around the nation's lower classes.

This latest measure follows a slow but steady decline in the country's survival rates. With over 2 million now dead and the Imperial Guard holding fast by the country's borders, the monarchy remains hot on the case and continues to send TZES's into neighboring nations to lighten the increasingly overrun region of Caesars Republic.
