To: The Rt. Honorable Julius Frej Shriver, Minister of Foreign Affairs for the Commonwealth Home Island of Yohannes
From: Eius Caesarea Maiestas, Caesar Silvier Catherina Hyuga IV
Subject: Trading and Open Border Issue [50%]
Although it would generally be the Minstrator Externa dealing with this issue, this has been forwarded to my attention because it puts us in a tough position. As voluntary members of the Commonwealth, and respectively contributors to the Commonwealth Forces, our word must be put into this, and immediately. Though my aim is to keep it short and sweet.
The Imperium Antiquum shall never hesitate to protect the Home Island or Commonwealth. We shall be present wherever there is a crisis for the Commonwealth. However, the Populi Aula and Imperialis Senatus are in full agreement with me when I say that this new policy is unsupportable. In other words, The Imperium Antiquum, although it understands the situation, does not wish to enforce this aim. Most obviously, because we were not consulted on the issue first. I've been informed by the Ministerium Externa that a meeting was called recently between our representative to you, Grace Hunter, and one of your representatives. Why you were not capable of bringing it up there confuses me and my government.
So, until you give greater detail to our representative to you and do not fail to do so in future, we simply cannot support this action. Once things have been discussed, our position will obviously change. I in no way intend to offend the decisions of your administration or your honorable self, but because of the circumstances we cannot support this at present.
With respect,
Eius Caesarea Maiestas, Caesar Silvier Catherina Hyuga IV
Ancient Caesar of the Imperium Antiquum Kylarnatiae
[OOC: Before you think I am, I'm not doing this to say 'Y u no post in our rp?' or 'this is what you get for not posting!' No, not at all. But because you didn't bring this up and this would be taken out of the blue, I just thought I'd do this to do a little Australia/defiant moment, if you get what I mean. Peace :P]
