To the Nations of the World
We, the Council of Aedora, acting on behalf of the free and sovereign Aedoran people, do hereby establish for our nation a fully independent and sovereign state. We renounce the tyrannical rule of the Empire of Deadora and its Matriarch Empress Jacqueline Thrall, no longer will our oppressors seize our lands, our labor, and our very lives for their own cruel purposes and personal wealth. The land of Aedora belongs to the Aedoran, its soil holds the blood of our ancestors and our mothers' mothers, and it shall no longer tolerate the presence of its unlawful conquerers.
We hereby establish the People's Republic of Aedora, which shall continue to be led by the duly elected Council of Aedora, the voice of the Aedoran people. We embrace our sister nation the Queendom of Kehrahn, and stand with Matriarch-Queen Jada against the forces of the tyrannical and oppressive Thrallist government of Deadora.
No longer will we Aedoran be cut off from the world, prisoners in our own land. We now call upon all freedom and peace loving peoples to recognize our sovereignty, and welcome all the world to our nation to discuss how we might build ties of trade and diplomacy with other free peoples. What we want most is peace, prosperity, and to exercise our Goddess-given right to self-determination. We hope that the nations of the world will recognize this right, work with us to build a better future for all people, and resist the forces of slavery and oppression.
In the name of freedom and justice,
The Council of Aedora,
Daru Jon, Head of the Council
The People's Republic of Aedora

"To my dear Child, Jacqueline Thrall, proclaimed Matriarch Empress of Deadora,
You have issued unto me an ultimatum to be met, and indeed I shall meet it, for my answer is unequivocal. Neither myself nor any in the Shrailleeni government have had any involvement whatsoever in the sudden and shocking disappearance of your sister, a woman who I have considered to be a trustworthy ally, wise confidant, and friend. You ask for her return, and were it in my power I would only gladly hasten to enable it. Her disappearance wounds me deeply, and I pray for her health and for the health of her unborn child for whom I have spared no expense in caring over these last few months.
I have not abducted your sister, nor have I authorized any kind of attack on the Calla-Gold Palace. You say that in my denying this you shall declare war upon me and all Children of the Mother Goddess. I say that if this is your first act as Matriarch Empress, then you are fool and foolish, and the swords of the Enlightened shall oppose your transgressions and shall not waver.
The wise hearts and clear minds of this region see this ploy for what it is, the actions of a jealous sister threatened by the impending birth of a new heir. If Jennifer Thrall has disappeared, as indeed seems to be the case, my heart darkens to think of what fate you may have provided for her. And so my Child I now provide for you this counter-offer, cease this pointless antagonism and renew the bonds of Sisterhood which strengthen our peoples. If your purpose is true and your actions merely misguided, place suspicion aside so that we may work together to find your sister and bring her home.
Come to the Light of the Goddess Child, or be lost in the Darkness forever."

Aedoran Workers Rejoice, Means of Production Seized!!
Fallows - In an historic vote today, the Council of Aedora approved a law drafted by the Socialist Party to legalize the takeover of all manufacturing, plantation, and mining industries by their rightful owners: the Aedoran workers and farmers. The ownership of these vital industries by Nadirii and Kehrahnii noblewomen has nearby been utterly revoked and their assets seized, handed instead to representatives of the workers' unions.
The takeover was made official by Council vote, but had already been planned by the Socialist Party leadership for some time. Several workers' unions in Fallows had already enacted the physical takeover of their factories during the push for independence, and are now supported to the fullest extent of the law. All Aedoran industries which formerly served to enrich the empire will now be owned by the Aedoran, and it will be the responsibility of the workers' unions to institutionalize new corporate leadership and policies. All major industrial activity will now be coordinated by the Council government, which has created a Department of Industry to oversee this process.
A standard minimum wage, forty-one hour work week, and mandated benefits are all listed for future Council discussion.
From now on the money made from the exploitation of Aedoran resources will go directly into the hands of the Aedoran people. The Aedoran worker can work happily and energetically knowing that the reward will be the full value of her labor, and the construction of a stronger and more united Aedora.
In related news, another vote regarding the fate of the Nadirii and Kehrahnii currently residing in the People's Republic of Aedora failed today when only 56% of the Council voted in favor of granting full citizenship. Strong arguments for and against accepting citizenship for the former masters of Aedora have divided the Council nearly in half, and have even divided opinion within the Socialist Party. The arguments can be summarized as follows:
Those in favor of granting citizenship to Nadirii and Kehrahnii argue that the People's Republic is a democracy based on the principles of justice and fairness. Therefore, all people regardless of their ethnic origin should be able to enjoy the full rights and privileges of citizenship. Many of the Nadirii and Kehrahnii living in Aedora have done so for generations, and are our neighbors. Pragmatists argue that removing these people or denying them citizenship would ultimately be too great a strain on Aedoran resources, and point out that the Shrailleeni Empire has asked that they be integrated into society. Leenist leadership offers a more sentimental argument.
Those against granting citizenship point out that the majority of Nadirii and Kehrahnii in Aedora are active members of the Deadoran tyranny, including noblewomen, secret police, and business owners. Their loyalties are at best untested, but more likely lie with the power and wealth of Bryn Tegna upon which their own success has depended. They also argue that Aedora belongs to the Aedoran, and that if the entire province were to fall under Council control then the Nadirii and Kehrahnii would form a majority of the population. In our democracy, that would mean the death of the Aedoran revolution, the rebirth of our culture, and our right to self-government.
Strong arguments on both sides, and no doubt compromise will be necessary. But Aedoran should take heart that these debates are occurring from our own voices, in our own government. Our future is now ours to decide, whatever it might be. And the revolution has only just begun.

Your Majesty,
First let me say personally to you how much I regret the absence and probable death of your predecessor Jennifer Thrall of famous memory. She was a formidable ruler and one which I greatly respected. Unfortunately all things must come to an end.
I must inform you that, upon careful consideration, the Holy Empire of New Edom must join the Shrailleeni Empire in recognizing Kehrahni and Aedoran independence. Kehrahn has already agreed to join FODE, and Aedora will, no doubt, soon follow suit.
I realize that this must be a blow to the honour of Deadora. It may be a temptation for you to lead your nation to war. Of course I would respect, greatly, any impulse towards defending the honour of your House and your nation. I ask you, nevertheless, to take seriously my own persuasion to avoid war.
I will not appeal to you by threat, for I know your courage and that of your gallant people all too well. However you are also a pragmatic and intelligent people and so I tell you this: you have no way of winning. Kehrahn holds kinship among many of your daughters of war. They control a third of the Imperial Fleet and Army. They have also signed mutual protection agreements with my own government. The same holds true, I am sure, with regard to the Shraileeeni with regard to Aedora. Any war would be fruitless.
Recently, the Holy Empire signed the CTO agreement. WE nevertheless remain true to FODE. In the future, nations which maintain their culture against vulgar capitalist opportunism must temper it with the one area of trade that we can control: that of petroleum, the dark life’s blood of all industry. I urge you to continue with this relationship for the sake of all our prosperity. In turn, I shall offer what the Holy Empire never has: the recognition, formally, of the boundaries of Deadora as it current stands in light of our recent treaties.
I have the honour to be
Elijah IV
King-Emperor of the Holy Empire of New Edom

Your Majesty,
The loss of my sister has come as a great blow to myself, and to the nation. I have not given up hope that she may still be alive, but I am certain that the Shrailleeni have spirited her away in an attempt to use her life as leverage against me. I shall never be cowed by such measures, nor would my sister wish to see our great empire brought down in such a way. One day we may be reunited, but we must look to the future of our nation.
I hold no ill will toward Queen Jada. Her choice to seek independence is regrettable, but understandable. My sister's illness created much chaos and strife in the land, which I have only recently brought back under control.
But as for Aedora, I am surprised that you would support such a pack of Marxists and anarchist rebels. The People's Republic of Aedora is little more than a socialist plot disguised as a national movement. The Shrailleeni hoped to use it to weaken my rule, but as I have said I am determined not to allow them to succeed. Surely you must understand this, after what they pulled in Gloria Regis to separate it from your rule? Support Kehrahn if you wish, but I will put down this socialist insurrection, and should the Shrailleeni attempt to stop me I will defend our lands to the last drop of Deadoran blood.
I cannot believe that you would throw the lives of your people away in the name of defending a Marxist rebellion. I do not believe it. We shall reclaim the south, Shrailleeni resistance or otherwise. But you have offered something to me that is unexpected, and so I shall reciprocate. Do not rise to "Aedora's" defense, or join the insidious Shrailleeni support for them should they foolishly choose to oppose me. Demonstrate your wisdom in this matter and I shall see a way toward recognizing Queen Jada's claim to independence. As I said, I hold no ill will toward Queen Jada and I believe that there is a path toward reconciliation between us. Recognize our borders, and our right to the south, and I shall do the same for Kehrahn.
I am gladdened to hear that your joining of the CTO has not erased the commitment to FODE that we have developed together. Be aware that I have no desire to take war to the Shrailleeni themselves, I merely seek to put down an insurrection and force our wayward sisters to heel should they intervene.
With the utmost sincerity,
Jacqueline Thrall
Matriarch Empress of the Feminist Empire of Deadora

Your Majesty,
I grieve with you for the loss of your sister.
Now: I have carefully reflected on the issue of Aedoran socialism. I am, naturally concerned about the politics and economics. Nevertheless, as you say, Aedora is currently under the protection of the Shrailleeni Empire. Therefore, I, and my advisors believe that we can persuade our allies to make appropriate adjustments. After all, the Shrailleeni have already been making adjustments to domestic policy in Gloria Regis, which, as you are aware, had a tendency towards political extremism. This might be the better measure in this case.
Of course I shall take appropriate measures to negotiate for a scaling down of socialist policies in Aedora, rest assured, and while recognizing the country will be our intention, I shall not be recognizing Aedora while it remains socialist.
I am concerned about possible enmity with the Shrailleeni. Naturally I would not condone the abduction of a Deadoran Monarch. I shall be inquiring into the matter. For the time being, I shall recognize your borders are they are currently existing between Deadora, Kehrahn, and states outside. We will leave pending the recognition of Aedora until we are satisfied with her political status.
I shall have my foreign ministry initiate discussions of the precise terms of territorial boundaries.
I look forward
I have the honour to be
Elijah IV
King-Emperor of the Holy Empire of New Edom
