Is there any way to peacefully resolve this conflict in a way that is agreeable to both sides?

[Meretica]

The Meretican government is unfamiliar with the "Meretican Incident" and wants to know what South Olpen is insinuating.

It's more of a media thing, but when you got the national religion, and also the issue of how to proceed with nations such as Laka, Southern Xenick, and now ZN.

Our nation allows all people to practice whatever religion they wish to follow. A ginormous majority practice one religion in particular, and thus the Senate wanted to represent that-- especially given that most Mereticans supported the move.

Regarding Laka, Xenick, and ZN, Meretica is trying to stop a war from sparking up. Meretica, despite its advances since the MCW, is not in a position to fight a large-scale war that would divide much of the world into factions, resulting in chaos. Meretica is, for now, playing the part of the peacekeeper and protecting civilians from being killed in combat.

We are fine with your nation having a religion, I believe the UK does, where the contention comes in is that you can ban bills on religious grounds.

That is not what Meretican law allows. Senators now have the ability to say that they will not vote for or against a bill on religious grounds. All bills can still be voted on, regardless. Is South Olpen trying to twist the words of Meretican law, or was SO merely mistaken?

[Southern Xenick]

The Meretican economy has successfully returned to pre MCW levels, despite Meretica leaving the SMTU agreement and UDAF. Meretica is now taking steps to rebuild its entire military, in addition to the mass production of naval ships for trade purposes. The idea of a Meretican moon landing again comes to the front of the nation's mind, with a Meretican space mission expected to take place in the March of next year. There has also been a notable rise in youth employment; economists suggest that youth workers are a major factor in the return of the economy.

The colonies-turned-states have also prospered since they were fully integrated into the nation, with surges in production and budget allocations for every single one (except Thira for reasons economists have yet to explain). The manufacturing and farming sectors, in particular, have been flourishing, especially given Bunker Tech's ability to buy Meretican goods to use in the building of facilities both at home and abroad.

St. Vilnius's Day is coming soon. Celebrating King Vilnius the Second, a Belecthorian Societal Orthodoxy Saint known for his religious theories and studies, it is a federal holiday where much of the nation will be shut down for festivities. Party supplies are often sold out of stock almost immediately after they are delivered to stores, with several chains in Meretica putting up signs declaring that they have no more supplies to sell. There are to be several parades across the nation, the largest being held in New Memphis City. Formerly called Christine City and Owl Tree, New Memphis had been the capital of the nation for centuries until it was renamed from Belecthoria to Meretica. Queen Sinestra, a direct descendant of St. Vilnius's, shall participate in the parade. She is expected to give birth to twins-- a boy and a girl-- several months from now. President Ross has declined to participate, but Michelle Campbell has volunteered to organize and lead the planning committee in the Senate.

XENICK ENTERS DEFENSE ENTENTE, THREATENS WAR ON SM IF ATTACKS ON DEMOCRACY AND THE CUSP CONTINUE
This Thursday, Bob Bobbi allegedly was heard stating that “Those SM bastards will get the teeth knocked down their throat if they continue this slander, and I am ready to do this by force if the situation merits it.”, during a freedom house board meeting on the issue of SM slandering the IDSF and CUSP. Many abroad were shocked, but with Xencike current militarization, it is not unlikely that this will happen.

All over Xenick, current military factories have been increasing production, along with an unprecedented upturn in military funding justified by an increasing number of official conflicts abroad. Protests from leftist and peace groups were numerous, and calls for Bob Bobbis resignation, or ousting of Bobbi as incumbent at the beginning of elections in 2 years, in addition to mounting internal issues.

The XAAF has announced the production of upgraded and modernized MIG and SU units to boost a more maneuverable Air Force capable of homeland defense, carrier work, and foreign strikes all in one package. The MIG 35a, which boasts the ability to fire cruise missiles, as well as better targeting and detection systems. A Xenickese arms company, Blue Sky weaponry, has been selected handle the production of these units along with Lytrovian based companies, in order to develop russian style area denial strategies. Home citadel one, which has taken a decade to complete, has now been seen launching mock nuclear strikes as well as launching unidentified aircraft, rumored to be Experimental crafts.

Breaking News!:

The Southeast Marajarbian Parliament is set to vote on a resolution known as the "Silver Pathway Act". If this Resolution is passed, the Southeast Marajarbian Government shall be capable of making more investments and trade deals whilst also improving the government's foreign affairs agenda. The Silver Pathway Act would mean that nations such as Tztazikistan and New Wessex would receive very large investments from Southeast Marajarbian Corporations, in exchange for better relations with those nations.

Right wing politician in Spaincio rippled the waves after he ridiculed the government of SM.

"Yesterday, I got a call that the fucking arrogant SM government is continuing to proclaim that the ICDN is over. Why? It's very interesting to note that these began after their expulsion from the ICDN after warmongering responses. They are a repeatedly hypocritical government, supporting their allies or nations they believe will be weak. They keep calling us corrupt, while the UDAF has yet to have an election for.more than a month. The ICDN had it within weeks. Do you want to know a secret. No one made you the fucking overlords of our nations. There are fucking nations that will destroy you and I, even in your lowest hour will support bills to make peace, not with your confused government, but for your people. You call us warmongers? Check how many wars youve entered in 4 months with how many weve entered in that time period. Stop trying to become CNN National Expirement and see the truth."

In response to this, the Government has issued the following statement:

It appears that the increased hostilities from Spaincio are hollow, as the truth is simple. The ICDN has collapsed, and any efforts made to completely bring it back in these modern times would not be in democracy's favor. South Americanastan's ICDN representative has already pointed out the same points made by our very government on the ICDN. A terrible foreign policy, combined with an illegitimate system that, while free, is not exactly fair in terms of the impact, as well as a massive struggle that enabled small nations such as Northern Benin to literally power grab without being democratically elected to the position. These are issues that have to be fixed, and any more hostile actions from the formerly great government of Spaincio can easily result in evitable tariffs, or an easily evitable military conflict. The ICDN had potential to be great whilst spreading democracy, but the amount of corruption, lack of reforms, and overall aggressiveness towards outsiders is enough to remove the ICDN from the development of this new world. This is a message directly to the ICDN, keep your very members in line if you truly want peace, or be prepared to face the turning tables in your current, dire situation!

The same politician speaks.
"I love how you're talking about power grabbing, your nations former alliance, the IDSF, had a power grabber in the nation of Alphanzi. Now your utter lie about Northern Benin grabbing power has no hold as individual nations followed them. The ICDN did not follow their orders, you know why? Because they weren't in power. And our aggressiveness towards outsiders only applied to rhe hypocritical, imperialist America copiers, warmongering IDSF alliance, which invaded nations to help [b][your/b] economy and great puppet regimes to aid you. And in negotiations to decrease animosity between the two alliances, everyone wanted a sensible agreement, but your nation pushed for complete impunity to attacks on democracy. Your a shallow government blustering and trying to downgrade, but that's because you know that you have made attacks undemocratically on nations. As for your small threats on tariffs, we have no trade with you. Tariffs only hurt if we have trade with you numbskull. As for war, youve gotta be worst than General Conrad. My neighbors may not be the friendliest, but if a foreign nations try to invade, we will pull tpgether. That means tens of thousands of extremely modern planes, ships, and armored vehicles with tens of milliona of men. If that's not enough of a Carpathian for you, one of our allies are Romextly, with huge military. They have powerful allies. But all of this depends if you can even pass through the portals, which you won't. And on you open threat on the ICDN, let me tell you this: The members of this allieance, including my country do not want war, unlike your government, and since 1. We're not afraid of you and 2. We're not single minded nations, unlike your puppets regimes."

With the recent mention of South Americanastan in Southeast Majarabia's statements, South Americanastan issues an official response.

It has come to our attention that the Southeast Majarabian government has mentioned South Americanastan in one of it's recent tirades. As South Americanastan Vice President of the ICDN Security Council, I feel obligated to respond. Your threats are just as hollow as you claim Spaincio's hostility is. You refuse to let go of your grudge stemming from the expulsion of Southeast Majarabia from the ICDN, and arrogantly believe that the UDAF is at the top of the food chain. We would like to remind you that your alliance, the UDAF, has operated as an intervening force, one that hungers for war and destruction. The ICDN is not dead, it is a sleeping giant, one you try to wake up every time you issue another statement. I was not elected to this office for playing nice, and I would like to remind you that if you can't reign in your comments and actions, be prepared for a conflict like your pitiful nation has never experienced before!

Come at us.
We dare you.
