The Emeraldian Government has prepared a list of responses to various nations:

Izaakia:
The King Himself has commented on the New Mako Times article: "I would hardly call the Union falling apart, hell, I believe we are right now even more united. I say this to your first set of “facts”, the Union has been united since 1980 and we still survive. Also, calling out government Communist would be one hell of a stretch, yes we have communist members of government, but that doesn’t mean we are communist! “Unhappy”? “Unequal”? Sorry, but both are wrong. Emerald arguably has some of the happiest people on Pacifica, with most living fulfilling lives where they choose their path, unlike the capitalist way of being molded to work and then being worked to death by oppressive companies. As for “Unequal”, Both Emerald and Denver have sovereignty, separate national governments and Militaries, all of which are protected by the Union Act Of 1980, our version of a constitution, unlike Brodmark and La Montagne, which have no autonomy or sovereignty. Ludville even had special autonomy rights outside of Denver, as does Colradia. Overbearing governance? You sir are in denial of the truth, which is that the People Willingly elected a Communist Governor and later a Socialist Minister(Presidential Equivalent) and then were overthrown, not by the people, but by Nationalist Military Units. The Murder of Van Mathis was not their provocation, hell, I’m not even sure the LNAC had a provocation, I think they just decided it was time to strike, kinda like the Nationalists when they sieged the Hawk Embassy, they didn’t have a provocation, they just decided that is was time to strike. The only reason a Delegate from the LNAC could not even make it to the WF, is that most likely, they would seek asylum from the LNAC, which mind you, is now attempting to commit genocide, or get shot by an Emeraldian Soldier, and that scenario is completely out of my control. We have a blockade set up for a reason, and most likely something similar to the border scenario would occur, and I wouldn’t even try air, as our automated defense system is shooting anything down that comes out of Ludville. Even then, I think almost all delegations would side with Emerald the first chance they get, considering how the LNAC is completely disregarding the Grovne Conventions and is already illegitimate. Also, you did get a Real Delegate, the Ambassador to the Union, who was appointed by Minister Jake Ludov, the last leader of the Ludvillian Civilian Government, before he was brutally executed by the LNAC, which further shows that they are a pretender government. We support our LoC Allies and CE Partners, hell it even seems Pelinai is itching to take down the LDN, which honestly, I wholeheartedly agree with at this point. Sedunn, Stoinia, Sallodesia, the IFF, Thalapadis, Ikaranara, UPRAN, Evinea, Nova Colradia, Spiras and hell maybe even a few Peonic Troops once the WF resolution passes, but not a single Izaakian, rather odd considering how much they supported us during the DCW, oh right! Blanc is gone! Pike failed and Storm is completely incompetent and lazy compared to Blanc, who While we never agreed with my whole position, we would’ve probably agreed that the LNAC is a threat. "

Baraarde:
“1. Back the hell off before we come over there again, 2. The LoC has permission to land troops, and 3. As the Goutafelon WF Delegate said during the shouting match in the WF, Ludville is a tough nut to crack, with even the Communists being nationalistic and die hard for their country, which is amid ably a common Denvari Trait it seems, so imagine how die hard and the never surrender mentality is for the Nationalists? Also, Denverian Units being completely underequipped is another reason, which is actually more the fault of the Denverian Federal Government, but not really having a government for a couple of months would definitely do that.”

“And finally, I say this as a warning to Izaakia, if you even dare and try to put peacekeepers between Emeraldian and Ludvillian Forces, expect a war being declared. You would be violating our borders without permission and is something which would trigger the entire Starhawk Pact to declare war. You’d be surprised how little it would take to blockade Keylian Izaakia with your sham of a navy and token air force, which by the way, thanks for letting us have those Conqueror’s, they’ve given so much information, including how to effectively deal with them and counter their stealth features with the JSF-23 “Starhawk”. But that’s just a warning”

It is expected that the Izaakian Embassy in Kingston will be permanently closed by popular Emeraldian Public Opinion. The Emeraldian Government has also announced that any and all relations with Izaakia will suspended immeaditely and indefintely until further notice.

It is reported that Kliegmean Sources now reference the LNAC as “the Ludvillian Junta”, instead of the traditional “Ludvillian Rebels”, or the “Ludvillian Separtists”. It seems this was done to differentiate the Junta from the Ludvillian Resistance or its predecessor, the Ludvillian Free State, which were referred to as the above respectively. It is unsure whether if Kliegme will recognize the Ludvillian Resistance as a legitimate government however.

(OOC: Popcorn demands have been rising steadily throughout the week as tensions between Emerald and Izaakia have been growing)

Reports on Pasten infrastructure contractors show them hitting significantly above their expected quality, with only 2 delays so far in road projects, both simply related to lack of funds and building material. The Pasten government has praised many of these companies for their efforts in rebuilding the country after the war and for improving the quality of the infrastructure in general.

Losavra works out food deals: The 24 tribes have announced a combined $15,000,000 worth of free food going to Huawan to feed people displaced by the natural disasters. The food will be delivered to local charities and nonprofits doling out the food. They’ve announced a similar deal with Past. Losavra also solidifies a food trade with Past for the long term, which will provide the nation with great amounts of food that it can’t produce itself.

The Badger Chocolate Company set to sue the Thalapadian Ministry of Health for defamation, the lawsuit is expected to be for billions of dollars for lost earnings.

In a statement by the CEO the company said “Our chocolate only contains Cocoa, Milk and Sugar, and undergoes a stringent quality control and assurance process. This claim by the Thalapadian Ministry of Health is nothing less than an offensive and damaging political game because of Izaakias opposition to their provocation in Ludville”.

The Termina Commerce Confederacy expressed skepticism from Thalapadian claims regarding the Izaakian badger company stating that it found no evidence of the Izaakian Badger Company’s chocolates containing heavy metals.

The Mayor of Yin-Oh, CEO of Chocolove inc., also released a statement separate from the TCC stating, “The Izaakian Badger Company is a welcome addition to the Terminan chocolate market alongside other Terminan, Gianatlan, Frost and other international chocolates, and it is disappointing to hear another power meddle in the market to harm healthy competition among fellow chocolatiers who aim to bring smiles to people regardless of nationality, gender and creed.”

Extremist marches of discontent with Izaakia and their participation in the Rycco-Cordilian War are moving through the cities of Alla-gy and Nea-gy to the chant of:

“Ιζαακια, καταραμένη να είσαι,
Γεννήσατε πόλεμο και το αίμα μας πήρατε,
Κρατήσατε την επιρροή σας στην Κεντρική Κορδίλια,
Δίνοντας στους Ρυσσική τη δύναμη για να επικρατήσουν.
Αλλά εμείς οι Ράινικη δε θα σιωπήσουμε,
Θα αγωνιστούμε για τους συμμάχους μας και το σπίτι μας,
Το αίμα που χύθηκε δεν ξεχνιέται,
Και εμείς δε ζητάμε συγγνώμη, ζητάμε πόλεμο”

Translation:

“Izaakia, cursed be you,
You gave birth to war and took our blood,
You held sway in the Central Cordillera,
Giving the Ryccians the power to prevail.
But we Rhaynans will not be silent,
We will fight for our allies and our home,
The bloodshed is not forgotten,
And we are not asking for forgiveness, we are asking for war”

Experts are worried about this sector of the population in the elections, branding them as: “Even though they are a minority, they are a movement fed on hate, they will not stop with any rational means, they will bring Rhayna and Cordilia to political instability. They are able to move people in Alla-gy and Nea-gy because the population there suffered the angst of receiving their children corpses in bags, and the moment the campaigns start, the political parties will probably feed on that hate.”

After long consideration, Thalapadis has decided to sanction the United States of Izaakia.

“The USI has done nothing but hostile acts against us recently, and so we are forced to respond. After the Assasination of Van Mathis, which now that it has been publicly released i can confirm was allowed by the legitimate government of Ludville and UKED, we ware willing to try mending relations and didn’t counter sanction them. But what did we get? Us being blamed for the use of a weapon of mass destruction by Ludville with no rime or reason, accused of conspiring with Emerald to get a justification for a invasion, even more redicilous as no one with a grain of sand in their head would nuke themselves, and our allies being called imperialist. May i ask Izaakia who is the one who holds illegally annexed territory far away from their homeland? Because of Izaakia’s actions the following measures shall be done: diplomatic and economic sanctions against Izaakia, a ban for izaakian ships to sail trough thalapadian teritorial waters except for permitted imports (which tarrifs will be placed on) and if specifically requested by our allies on the other side of the sea of Thalapadis, the Izaakian ambasador shall be sent home for a period of at least 3 months, and per request of the ministry of health the import of Izaakian chocolate will be stopped, replaced by gianucian and rhaynan product which the report proved safe.”

After the update of the Izaakian Lock and Key Trade Categories, anger among Rhaynan populous is further fueled, as the discontent extends along the marches through the komiteias. It’s rumored that the anger has extended to some lesser members of the Government, but the latter has labeled it as “fake news extended by the opposition”.

Some common phrases said among protesters have been of the nature of: “We should have allied with N&GB against Izaakia at that time. They were the true invaders, the worst bugs of the region. They were never allies, we were just used for their imperialistic needs.”

The situation is becoming denser with the hours.

After doing some preliminary tests on the chocolate, the Health Ministry has said they "Have found no evidence of heavy metals in the chocolate thus far and cite “If what they were saying is in the chocolate was truly in it, we would have most likely observed side effects occurring in people commonly eating it for ages now.” However, the Health Ministry has stated that its members “Prefer chocolate from Cordilia, especially from the Alman nations like Gianatla and Weisserstein.” The Ikaranarean government will not be taking actions against the Badger Company.
