[Deutschess Kaiserreich]

To: the Goverments of North Korea and Upper Pacifica

The Kaiserreich demands that both sides cease all hostilities at once. As much as the Iron Packt despises such oppressive communist states the world is in a time of peace after our victory in the third Weltkreig and no one wants another war like that. The Kaiserreich invites both heads of states to meet in Berlin to resolve this issue. The Kaiserriech will act as a mediator between these two states and guarantees the safety of both heads of states. We seek for both sides the most beneficial agreement possible to keep the peace.

But if both sides decide to resume hostiles the Kaiserreich will act accordingly to guard world peace as it has this past decade.

To The Leaders Of North Korea And Upper Pacifica:

(Please read the below, as in it I side with one of you)

"The ongoing debate, is war good or bad? Usually if we see or hear the word “war” we think about the negative sides first. There is a saying that a forest fire burns everything in its path and it does destroy the forest but out of the ashes comes new life. War is similar to this. Out of destruction comes a new beginning. A country can benefit from war, by gaining wealth or freedom, increasing in power, and advancing in technology. But the reason why war seems only negative is because there is also destruction where millions of innocent people die, losing their resources and time, and also their money. Not only within the country but the whole world could be affected by war economically and socially.

There are plenty of reasons why war is a bad thing. One main thing that comes to us directly and painfully is the death of the loved ones. Wars may solve problems but in the process it kills millions of people so war is cruel. A good example is the WW4, almost 50-60 million people died. Also in a war, the country has to spend a lot of money. It needs to provide weapons like tanks missiles etc., and it needs as many troops as possible. As Athax strategist Tzu Sun said, “Where the army is, prices are high; when prices rise the wealth of the people is exhausted” (Tzu Sun, c.400 BCE). For the citizens this is very disappointing because all this money would eventually come from raised taxes and instead this could be spent on poor and uneducated people. As I said, war brings destruction. Inflation is also a problem. For example after the Lavette's Civil War, their currency was so useless that bottles of beer replaced it. Special landmarks, farms, and firms could be destroyed and the country could lose a lot of its resources. After the war, usually the country goes in a huge debt.

On the other hand, war could be seen as a positive influence. Wars exist because people cannot agree on something. After the war it could be clear and they would agree and not fight anymore. Sometimes war could give freedom to a country. After war the country could become more powerful. If the war was because of land, after they win they have a bigger country with more resources. These resources could make the economy of the country rocket up. Also war in short-term is actually good for the economy. For example during the Unemployment Years, unemployment rate decreased. Since they need large amounts of weapons made quickly they hire more people and this leads to more jobs. Long-term wise a war could rebuild the economy of a country. Like the French, their production grew faster after WW3 and WW4. The country develops in technology too. They would need better more powerful strategies and weapons than the enemy’s so they research and develop in technology. Afterwards, this would benefit the country greatly.

Could this debate ever be over? I do not think so. As you can see, there are many bad and good sides of war. Overall I think wars are bad, because all these positive things are still not worth of millions of lives. And the good sides are if you win the war but that is not 100% sure. And even if things are resolved after the war, we are humans and we constantly want more. If the countries do not feel satisfied they might go into a second war and then a third and so on. So I think we should always find more peaceful ways than war. But in this case, I have to side with Upper Pacifica. It is obvious that they are in the right here and North Korea are in the wrong, so we will be supplying soldiers and weapons if this turns to war, and in the case of one declaring war on the other, we will declare war on North Korea."

Official Correspondence from the Republic of Bezkoshtovnya Encryption: Open To: Respective Departments of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea & the Federal Republic of Upper Pacifica The current situation at hand is one that can quickly devolve into a potential travesty that will affect the lives of millions of people, most directly the millions that call your respective nations their home. I am sure that both of you do not wish for either of your peoples to suffer the great suffering that a full-scale war would cause, and I sincerely hope that you wish to do all that can possibly be done to avoid such an outcome. This being said, the Republic of Bezkoshtovnya thus officially invites the leaders or official representatives of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Federal Republic of Upper Pacifica to the city of Derevnichka to meet on neutral and impartial ground to deliberate and avoid the tragedy of a full scale war between their two nations. The invitation is indefinite, and they shall be allowed to stay until such a time as a mutually agreeable resolution has been found. Regards, Дмитро Зеленко Dmytro Zelenko, Minister for Foreign Affairs
