Ikaranara states that it will be “watching the Hazelian elections closely” as it “cannot yet trust a state formed by a terrorist movement.” Ikaranara has still not recognized the state of Hazelia as legitimate since the revolution by the RIM due to its policies regarding terrorist organizations both near home and abroad. Ikaranarean political analysts say that “The continued refusal to recognize Hazelia as a state is driven less from a hate of Hazelia and more from a stance on terrorism. Ikaranara does not want to recognize the efforts of a terrorist movement to be legitimate.”

The chairman of the primary opposition party, One Báraarde, has recorded a statement that was posted on the party’s website. He recorded the speech in exile at his residence in Goutafelo.
“One day, I would like to return to my homeland. Everyday I spend so far away from the land I was raised in and care so much about, my homesickness grows. However, I am unable to return to my home country because of the oppressive tyranny that rules over the nation. The single legal party has ignored the rule of law and the basics of modern democracy outlined in the Seventh Constitution. Finally, we may see the light at the end of the tunnel after what seems like centuries of oppression. The truth is that this tyranny has been lying to everyone for so long, and now that this facade has been exposed to the world, we may now begin to enact change. Over these next few crucial months which will undoubtedly be covered in political unrest, we can change this nation for the better. We can finally return to the days which our parents reminisced about. We can finally prevent massacres like Bathotoropo and Oseaanmense. And I, along with hundreds of other political opponents ostracized from Báraardean society, can finally return home. We must enact change now, because this chance will never come again.”
Before the website was blocked in Báraarde, the video was seen by about 5 million people according to the on-site statistics. It is believed that the video is still in circulation via the popular hobby of collecting videos by burning them onto CDs and DVDs.
