Forscova has ceased communication with the Federation of Lutezzik. Princess Nikola, heir to the throne, spoke on behalf of her father, who was overseeing preparation for the Unification Day ceremony.
"It has become clear to us that neither party is able to understand the other, and that continuing this back-and-forth (one that shouldn’t have begun in the first place) in this shroud of mistrust will only be unbecoming of the leaders of our dear nations.
We simply ask Lutezzik, a federation, to be more accepting of the cultures and traditions of other peoples, and to retract the horrific insinuation that we would harm the children of our nation!"
The Detroxian government has advised King Vladimir III of Forscova to reconsider his drastic response to protests and Lutezzik.
“Detroxia is not the most democratic nation in tge world, nor it has the most liberal democratic rights. But even we wouldn’t go as far as arresting an entire protest. As said by representatives of Lutezzik, the young people are the future of our nations and if they don’t get their demands now, they will get them later. Detroxia once was a totalitarian state, in a similar situation to which Forscova is in now. You may think that these policies will bring stability and protect your traditions. But they are only setting the stage for a revolution.”
