Southeast Marajarbia wrote:"I wouldn’t immediately insult other nations and cause infighting here if I were you. While it's true that Marajarbia has less of a good image and yet remains a great power, the reason why I am sitting alongside you and the other representatives here is because Emperor Jackson wishes to see factions such as this one go strong, so that should there ever be a moment in which the GENA, IHC, or KTO collapse completely, an existing alliance is there to replace either. The only way to make that known is to intervene, or declare support for, a side in a big conflict, or handle several minor conflicts."

"We appreciate Emperor Jackson's interest in the B-VP, but it was not built to be a backup plan for other factions. The Berlin-Vienna Pact is its own autonomous organization, not a surrogate body to be put into hypostasis for if and when GENA or some other faction collapses. To treat us as such is, quite frankly, an insult."
"Furthermore, this 'desire to strengthen the B-VP' does not override our autonomy. The Marajarbian Federation does not have the power or authority to make promises on the Pact's behalf, nor is this appreciated. It is an egregious overstep on Marajarbia's side. To demand cooperation while blatantly disregarding this faction's autonomy and flaunting one's own power is coercive and not the act of a friend or ally."
"And even as you accuse Darlingtown of starting infighting, we all know this is not true. The Marajarbian Federation holds an observer role here on this council and is not a peer to its members. Instead I have provided reasoning and argumentation as to why Marajarbia's 'suggestions' should not be taken, and last I have checked the definition of 'infighting' was not 'any who stand in the way of Marajarbia's plans'. Not all debate can be swept away with a single magic word, and our objections to Marajarbia's counsel will not be silenced as such."
"The things I have spoken are facts. If they offend the Marajarbian delegacy then perhaps Marajarbia should examine itself and its conduct. There is little more to say on this matter."
"Again, I cannot speak for all present when I say these things. We do urge the Marajarbian delegation to wait until others have spoken before making any sort of decision, as Darlingtown does not speak for the B-VP as a whole. But I would count myself surprised if any here were as welcoming of Marajarbian hegemony as you might like them to be. And if this is not Marajarbia's aim then it has certainly done a poor job at countering such sentiments, choosing machismo and vague threats in place of acknowledgement of its own wrong doings and an earnest desire for cooperation."
