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."

Deutsch-Francia wrote:"Indeed, the representative from Darlingtown is correct. This alliance is an independent faction and we in Deutsch-Francia refuse to see it devolve into a tool used by other factions to merely advance their own aims. We are willing to peacefully cooperate with other alliances such as GENA, the KTO, or the IHC, but we will not be taken advantage of." Von Ritterburg sternly states.

Deutsch-Francia wrote:"As it stands currently, this alliance as a whole is officially neutral unless its member states agree on collective intervention." Von Ritterburg states.

Deutsch-Francia wrote:"The government may be more sympathetic to West Acornesia, but it's currently unwilling to directly intervene at this time." Von Ritterburg responds.

After responding, a minor official from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs enters the room. He walks to Von Ritterburg, hands him a piece of paper, and the two men whisper to each other. The minor official then leaves the room.

"It seems our government has just received a report stating that the Galapagos has declared war on Aursi. Given that the latter is a member state of this alliance, it is our duty to invoke article 1 of the treaty and come to the defense of Aursi." Von Ritterburg firmly announces.

"Hello my name is Steve I am a human representative from Oceania it is an honor being here and meeting some of you people even though some people might have shaky relations between my nation and the alliance we are part of and so we hope that we can amend stronger ties with everyone here"

Official Statement on Marajarbian Relations and Conduct

---

In response to a statement made by the government of the Marajarbian Federation earlier today, the Berlin-Vienna Pact would like to clarify the events that have led up to this statement and refute the slanderous claims the Marajarbian government has made at the Berlin-Vienna Pact's expense.

The breakdown of friendly diplomacy between the Pact and the Marajarbian Federation is a direct result of Marajarbia's disrespectful and domineering actions. Marajarbia has, in acting as a spokesperson for the Global Entente of Nations & Alliances (GENA), declared that the Pact would be stepping in to replace GENA in the Acornesian conflict. However, it did so knowing well in advanced that no such guarantee had been made, formally or informally. When this was brought up while discussing potential B-VP involvement in Acornesia, as well as other concerns with becoming involved in said conflict, the Marajarbian delegation refused to acknowledge any wrongdoings and instead insisted on B-VP involvement without addressing any of the concerns given.

When worries of GENA or Marajarbian dominance over the Pact were brought up, with fears of losing autonomy being among chief concerns, the Marajarbian delegation became belligerent and insisted that sacrificing the Pact's autonomy to GENA would be in its best interest. With GENA leadership's history of erasing or otherwise overriding the autonomy of member alliances and nations, Marajarbia's recent disrespectful and authoritative acts directed at the Pact, and no points of concern ever addressed a question was raised to the Marajarbian delegation: "Why should we trust you?"

The Marajarbian response was to cut ties with the Berlin-Vienna Pact and slander its conduct and credibility on international channels. Marajarbia has unilaterally called upon GENA and its allies to prepare for a cold war aimed at rivalling other such conflicts in the past and has done so out of its own pettiness. If the Marajarbian government had clarified any one of the numerous concerns that had been raised, allowed itself to coexist with an alliance that disagreed with it on one single issue, did not blatantly disregard the Pact's autonomy by making promises on its behalf, or left amicably it would be possible to give the Marajarbian government the benefit of doubt and assume no ill will in its intentions. But with all facts laid out it is impossible not to see Marajarbia thirst for power driving this call-to-arms.

The Berlin-Vienna Pact is not a corrupt organization and its member nations are not "problematic" as Marajarbia has claimed, unless one considers "not recognizing Marajarbian hegemony over the Pact" problematic. These are the words of a nation who, having trounced its former adversary, seeks a new one to maintain its powerbase as others have done throughout all of human history. But this "new threat" cannot exist without the Marajarbian Federation first being the aggressor, and there can be no war without Marajarbia being the one to seek it out.

We urge any who maintain good relations with GENA or Marajarbia to reconsider their diplomacy between themselves and these two entities. We urge GENA members to reconsider their membership to an alliance who is unilaterally governed by a nation who resorts to underhanded tactics and threats of violence when they do not get their way. Above all, we wish to convey to all regardless of affiliation that the Berlin-Vienna Pact does not intend to war with anyone. We shall defend ourselves, should Marajarbia lead soldier onto our shores or seek to dismantle our autonomy, but we shall never be the aggressor in such a conflict.

"This is a great victory for the Berlin-Vienna Pact, in the end GENA's ambition to be bigger and bigger was its undoing."

“Typical. Yet another alliance proposing conflict to seize power.”
