I regret having to inform you of what will be seen as regrettable news. It is the intent of the Collective Protectorates, after a closed, secret meeting and vote of the Congress, to fully recognize the new Wickian state at the next League conference. Director of State Dr. Haj will make the announcement. I alert you now as I only see it fit to give your governments time to prepare, to offer rebuttles, etc.
That such a matter might injure our great states’ relations greatly troubles me. I would like it to be understood that this action is taken not to offend the sensibilities of the Valinor and Ortagan states, but to uplift the Wickian people in their ongoing era of disaster. As an attempt at consolation, I have as of this morning sent a letter to Emperor Calimar stating the following:
“The Collective Protectorates will, under no circumstances, support Vernii as an aggressor in any war with Vakutu and, under the circumstances of a defensive war, will support no intrusion of Verniian or other forces into any part of the Vakutu Empire proper.”
The above resolution was passed by Congress in the same closed meeting, and additionally signed by both myself and Admiral Murphy.
I await your reply,
Darius
