During an press conference, Alrik discussed how him and the other chairman felt that the WASC didn't represent the values of South Lockland anymore after the scandal with ISIS breaking two of the WASC's International laws, which he stated,

Grand Chairman Alrik wrote:The security council is suppose to Uphold these laws, not Break them, and it is very well possible this has happened many times before and will continue to happen.

He believes that the WASC is perhaps more dangerous to South Lockland's Security and many other smaller nations than any radical state is.

He later stated that,

Grand Chairman Alrik wrote:The Security Council is nothing but a few of the world's elite nations excuse to grab more power, and stopping other nations from ever getting the chance to better themselves. I hope that in the future the WASC Member Nations might become better, but until then, all I can do, is to make sure that not only Locklandians, but all people in the world, see through their lies. For all the WASC Nations represents now, is the definition of a hypocrisy.

EU CONFIRMS TRINITY ENERGY PLAN

With protests still on-going and even reaching the halls of the Security Council and the attention of the World Alliance Environmental Protection Alliance, the EU Environment Agency has finally spoken. It confirmed that there is indeed an on-going discussion to adopt a formal energy plan for the Eurussian-controlled islands in the WEPA Trinity Conservation Zone but clarified that the talks were just in their preliminary stages and have not yet reached the ministerial level. The agency also belied the alleged leak documents saying that the documents were purely fabrication by criticis of the Eurussian Government.

EU RETAINS ENVOY TO IRELAND

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has welcomed the release of the Eurussian Ambassador to Ireland that has been illegally detained in the country. The ministry said that the Eurussian envoy wil remain as the country's top diplomat to Ireland to help strengthen the alliance of the two allied nations. The Foreign Ministry also said that the latest development in Eurussian-Irish alliance will revitalize the two nations' bilateral relations.

EU SNUBS SCOTTISH KING

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs ignored the challenge by the King of Scottlands saying that the Chancellor has a very tight schedule and has no opportunity to mingle with a comedian. A statement that could further infuriate the controversial Scottish monarch that has been provoking Eurussia ever since he succeeded the Scottish throne. The ministry even offered an unsolicited advice to the Scottish Government to focus its resources on reviving the nation's stagnant and imploded economy rather than taking every opportunity to humiliate Eurussia which will never deter the Eurussian Government at all.

EU OPEN TO KING JOHN II

In a move that could affect the relations between Eurussia and England&Wales, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that His Majesty, King John II of England&Wales will be welcomed in Eurussia as an asylum seeker if the monarch ever arrives in Eurussian territory. The Foreign Ministry said that the move and gesture also aims to help in the unification and restoration of peace in England&Wales.

EU SUMMONS ISIS AMBASSADOR

With the international outcry caused by the passage of a law in the Islamic States criminalizing any discussion on the succession in the Islamic nation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has summoned the Ambassador of the Islamic States to Eurussia, based in Moscow, to express grave concerns on the new law of the Islamic States. The ministry informed the ambassador that the government is hoping that the new law will be modified to complement existing international norms on freedom of expression. But emphasized Moscow's respect to the sovereignty of the nation and the policy of the state on non-interference on the internal affairs of other countries. Sources say that Moscow is outraged by the controversial law issued by the Emir of the Islamic States and is even mulling measures to pressure the Islamic States to either reverse the law or modify it. Analysts say that Eurussia could impose harsh diplomatic and economic sanctions on the Islamic nation to display its opposition on the said law. Some analysts say that Moscow is sending mixed signals to the global community of nations as it abstains on the proposal before the Security Council to revoke the membership of the Islamic States to the powerful body but went as far as pushing for an international case to possibly cite the Islamic States for possible violations of international law.

The King to Arrive in Eurussia

Following the grant of asylum of Great Eurussia, the king has decided to head to the nation, alongside his family and government that survived the civil war. The former embassy build in Eurussia will function as the exiled Governments HQ, raising the old banner of the King, alongside the old national flag to welcome the exiled King. From here, it is hoped they can come to some form of conclusion in order to return the Monarchy back to the English throne, and remove the British republic which the king declares is a "threat to world peace" with its goals to forcefully unite the former British lands.

Government To Seek More Alliances

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced today that beginning on January 1st a new project will be initiated. This project will aim to get Ireland more foreign allies on the world stage.

"Our country has failed in foreign affairs ever since our rebirth. Before our collapse we has tons of allies. Now the buildings at Embassy Row are empty. Very few allies. The aim of this Foreign Office will be to change that. Starting January 1st we will start getting in contact with nations like Scouting and Snarfia in hopes of forming a closer and more official alliance. This is one area Ireland can no longer fail in. We must have allies. This is not a debatable matter." said the Foreign Minister, Edward Stevens

King Philip to Scottish King: "Abdicate or Shut Up"

WA International News Network - Page 9 _75632854_v2evm95f

In a major and controversial move His Supreme Irish Majesty, King Philip I has criticized the King of Scottlands calling him "immature" and "a shame on all monarchs" in a recent address to the Irish Association of Foreign Affairs. Here is the speech in full.

"Good evening. Good evening. As you all know the King of Scottlands has been a very controversial man since taking the throne. He has done nothing but criticize Eurussia. I guess when a man lacks the ability to lead a nation he must verbally assault other nations to make it seem like he is in fact doing something. However these actions are immature and he is a shame on the title of monarch. It all begins with him attacking Eurussia making a claim that Eurussia rules over land that is properly Scottlands'. However there is no proof that it is Scottlands' land. So what does the King do when he see's there is no evidence? Well nothing as you might suspect. He continues to attack Eurussia for being imperialistic and holding onto lands that isnt Eurussia's. These actions are uncalled for, undiplomatic, and frankly stupid. But wait! Guess what the Scottish King does when Eurussia refuses to negotiate? He continues to attack Eurussia! So I have a message for the King of Scottland's. Either you shut up attacking Eurussia and put these bogus claims to rest or you abdicate. These are the only reasonable choices. You have disgraced the Scottish Throne and Scottland itself."

King Ferdinand to King Philip: Mind your own business

His Majesty, King Ferdinand was shocked to see a fellow monarch telling him to shut up in front of international press. To protect his dignity and credibility as the King of Scots, he responded to the King Philip of Ireland telling him to "mind your own business." The King also added "You know Mr. Philip, you should focus on the problems of your country rather than mingle with our affairs. I think based on the news you lost control of your government and went against your desires so you are technically powerless monarch and can be dictated by foreign imperialists. Poor one." After the speech of the King, his citizens were proud of their monarch for standing up for the country and defending the nation against Ireland whom they consider as a puppet of Eurussia.

WA International News Network - Page 9 Felipe6_inaug

After King Ferdinand attacked King Philip saying he did not have a handle on his own country and that he was a powerless monarch and also calling Ireland "a puppet of Eurussia" His Supreme Irish Majesty, King Philip I addressed the Press striking back at the Scottish King.

"I would like to address His Mjaesty, King Ferdinand of Scottland. Your recent attacks on me and my nation are disgusting. You tell me to mind my own business and focus on Ireland's problem. Well we are focusing on our problems. We have one of the largest economies in the world, we have one of the fastest growing economies in the world, one of the most powerful currencies in the world, one of the lowest crime rates in the world. Me and my Government have a handle on our own problems. Government efficiency is up and unemployment is down. So as far as that goes I don't want to hear something about how I need to worry about my nation. I do worry about my nation. But as Monarch I am also responsible for representing Ireland on the world stage. And that means speaking out against what we believe to be wrong. You know what you are doing is wrong. You say I am controlled by foreign imperialists sorry but I do not believe you control me. You continue to make claim over a land that isn't yours. Eurussia is not the imperialist here. You are. So do not say I am powerless and controlled by foreign imperialists. Because I assure I have plenty of power and the only imperialist here is you. I would also like to address your second part of your speech. Ireland is not a puppet of Eurussia. We have our own policies our government system is different from each other. If you say that because of how I stand beside Eurussia that is for one simple reason. Eurussia is our ally. They ruled over us for 800 years yes they mistreated our people that is why we broke away from them in 1916. But we have grown past these faults. We remember the past but we do not hold it against each other. Our history is what makes us great allies. So do not call this great nation a puppet of Eurussia simply because we stand by them. So with all due respect. Until you know what you are talking about and until you stop attacking Eurussia. I will put my nose in your business all I want."

13TH SECURITY COUNCIL IN ATLANTIS

With the consent and nod of the Eurussian Government following thorough consultations with the Scouting and the Islamic States Governments after a grueling week of diplomatic deliberations on the matter involving the choice for the new seat of the Security Council as initiated by both the Islamic States and Scouting with different proposals backed as well by many different countries, if enough votes is mustered to push for the passage of the executive resolution, the succeeding 13th Security Council of the World Alliance might have its new home at the Atlantis Neutral Territory, located at the geographic center and strategic heart of the world. This is in a bid by different nations with competing views on choosing the location of the headquarters of the Security Council finally relocating it in an international territory while others prefer keeping it in Moscow due to financial constraints and various other diplomatic and political reasons.

WA International News Network - Page 9 Images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR1W5bhyPwGhvfmxumdMepaAZteEAE0dB3l7N6tH84spwybiu7Eb8ILFWEX

Initially, Eurussia backed the initiative of the Islamic States to legally declare the grounds of the Security Council as an international territory which is a complementing resolution to the existing status quo since Eurussia already considers the Security Council complex in Moscow as a de facto international territory by granting it with extraterritoriality and diplomatic immunity. With this, the government went against the resolution pushed by Scouting Government choosing the Mnemosyne Neutral Territory as the new location of the international body with calls for further deliberations and consultations. And with the request of Scouting to convene the Eurussia-Scouting Council with the aim to hold bilateral consultations on the matter, the two governments eventually achieved a consensus finally choosing the Atlantis Neutral Territory as the new seat of the headquarters of the Security Council and converting the current headquarters in Moscow as a research arm of the international body for policy making. Thus, resulting to a change in Eurussian support from the Islamic States' initiative towards that of Scouting's initiative.

EU NODS FUTURE SEAT RELOCATION

At the same press briefing, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that there are preliminary discussions within its diplomatic circles to revive its plans and initiatives for the relocation of the headquarters of the WA Peacekeeping Force, the WA Space Agency, the WA Health Agency, and the WA Cultural Agency, all based in Saint Petersburg. The ministry said that it shelved those plans after Moscow pushed for the establishment of neutral territories in every continent in the world where each of the international organizations maintains their individual administrative offices and operations centers and when the Security Council became pre-occupied with more pressing world problems. Although its remains on preliminary stages, the ministry said that it welcomes such initiatives and even push as well for the relocation of the said main offices towards WA Neutral Territories not to evade diplomatic responsibilities but to share the prestige and opportunity of hosting international organizations and as well as share the security burden and accountability on keeping and maintaining such important international institutions.

EU NEUTRAL ON ENGLAND & WALES

Despite granting a political asylum to King John II and his Royal Family in the country after the breakdown of the royal government in England & Wales in favor of the new and still unstable republican government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed hopes and reconciliation on the two sides of the political arena for the stability of the future of England & Wales. The ministry said that one of the primary reasons of allowing the King and the Royal Family to live in exile in Eurussia is to promote dialogue between the royalists and the republicans. Furthermore, the ministry also clarified that it will not restrict the activity of King John II for as long as they are in line with the policy and conditions of their political asylum in Eurussia. Some international analysts say that the recent statements of the Foreign Ministry vaguely confirms that it will not stop the activities of King John II and his government-in-exile in Eurussia even if they involve politics but as well as giving reassurance to the republican government back in England & Wales that Moscow is open for communications.

A move that will highlight the support of the Imperial Family on promoting Eurussian arts and culture and as well as raise the profile of the advocacy of the Leader of Trinity Sector. An imperial audience will also be held with Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Elizabeth, at the Imperial Kremlin Palace, to greet the Leader of Trinity Sector and as well as a private dinner will also be hosted by the Imperial Family.

Not angry, just disappointed that they think we were a dictatorship. We were a constitutional monarchy, with two different legislates, a house of commons, and a house of lords, and our prime minister was elected by the people for the people. The outlawing of the Republican parties was because of their right wing policies, and threat to the other british and celtic nations. That is all"

We have bigger issues to deal with, all of us. One of these issues are movements like the British Republicans, who not only pose a threat to our thrones, but also a threat to our nation's. There are others who also threaten monarchs across the world. We are dying out, we need to stop this. So I ask that you stop fighting and work on the bigger picture."

The Ban was originally put in place due to the Kuwaiti Terrorism that was present months back. However after the fall of Kuwait these actions came to an end.

"I beg of the Eurussian Government to lift the travel ban. Terrorism is no longer present in our nation and we feel it is safe enough for tourists to enter the country. This travel ban which no longer has any use is only crippling our economy. Tourism is our number one industry. So we plea to the Eurussian Government to officially lift this ban."

EU CONCERN WITH SNARFIAN BORDER

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has expressed deep and grave concerns on the rising tensions between Snarfia and Shahrani which resulted to the trade embargo between each other. This was caused by their apparent race for territorial acquisitions in the largest landmass in the Asia continent. The ministry hopes for the deescalation of all tensions and called for dialogue to achieve peace.

EU DEMOTES ENG & WALES MISSION

Following the accusations and irresponsible statements of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the de facto government of England & Wales and their order to shut down their embassy in Moscow, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reportedly downgraded the diplomatic missions around the country. According to the Foreign Ministry, all the Eurussian consulates in England & Wales will be closed down and the Eurussian Embassy in London will be down graded due to staff reduction and retention of only critical posts in the diplomatic mission. It remains unclear if the Eurussian Ambassador to England & Wales will be recalled but sources say that only a charge de affairs is designated for the remaining operations of the diplomatic mission in London. International analysts believe that Moscow intend to keep the communication lines open in London by still keeping a small staff on its diplomatic mission there but it can also be noted that the Eurussian Government has not yet nor will ever refer to the republican government in England & Wales as British Republic but simply referring to them as the de facto government in comparison to the government-in-exile of King John II in Moscow as the de jure government of England & Wales.

EU ISSUE ENG&WALES TRAVEL BAN

But as a clear retaliation to the actions of the de facto government in England & Wales according to analysts, the Eurussian Government has imposed a travel ban to the country and ordering all Eurussians to leave England & Wales for their own safety and security. The travel ban also bars Eurussians to enter England & Wales and as well as effectively halting all flights and transport services to England & Wales. According to the Foreign Ministry, the travel ban was imposed to the widespread violence in different cities and towns throughout England & Wales.

EU MINISTER PHONES IRISH TM

The Ministry of Transportation confirmed through a press briefing that His Excellency, Transport Minister Vladimir Puchkov has phoned his Irish counterpart Irish Minister of Transportation Alex McConnell to personally convey the confidence of the Eurussian Government to the capability of the Irish Government to keep the safety and security of Eurussian citizens in Ireland as threats from Kuwaiti secessionism dies down. The Transportation Minister also confirmed that the travel ban against the Kingdom of Ireland will be lifted starting next week allowing the resumption of regular flights between the two countries and boost each others' tourism industries.

EU LIFTS MUTIPLE SANCTIONS

Following the annual review of global security and safety by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the possible threats for Eurussian citizens in particular countries, the Eurussian Government has announced a series of reversal of various sanctions issued to different countries. First and foremost is the lifting of travel ban against the Snarfian Federation due to the SHDKZ-linked violent uprisings. The travel ban against the Islamic States is also lifted due to the conclusion of the Eurussia-Islamic States Peace Treaty and permanent halting of the country's nuclear program. Furthermore, the travel bans to Muchos Estados Unidos and Ireland will also be lifted to the elimination of threats from the MERS outbreak and terrorism, respectively. These developments were also brought by the intense lobbying of the Eurussian Tourism Agency to keep the flow of tourists and travelers to the country and as well as boost the tourism industries of the concerned countries which enjoy strong relations with the Eurussian Empire.

In effort to retain membership, any member nation opposed to the regulation may petition it, so that the council may hear their concerns on the regulation. If the Council agrees, they may vote to repeal the regulation. In order to repeal a regulation, 80% must vote in favor."

The bolded portion of the quoted bylaw shows we carry out our purpose. We require any legislation passed by WEPA to be presented to member nations, and we even allow alterations to be made to better fit each nation's requirements or needs. At the end of the day, it's still up to the member nation whether or not to participate in the practices and legislation we promote.

The second point we wish to make is five-hundred billion euros is a drop in the bucket in comparison to Ireland's annual GDP of six-hundred forty four trillion euros. it's not to say that would be an immense amount for an individual, but as for a country, that's rather insignificant. We are also pretty confused as to why an Irish journalist listed the losses in dollar amounts when their national currency is the euro. Additionally, after a reviewal of the international and independent graphs showing a ranking of each nation's economy, Ireland still shows as one of the best economies in the region to this day! At this point, we would not be surprised if this article is a satire piece.

We are still confused as to where WEPA comes into this or even the environment. The People's Association of Economic Prosperity have claimed that the environment is being harmfully prioritized over the economy, though they have yet to present any supporting evidence.

We recommend Ireland hires economic advisers to their government body. Furthermore, we encourage any policy or legislation WEPA approves is found to be harmful to one's country to be altered in such a way the issue is resolved or to shoot down the proposal in your legislative bodies.

Let me re-iterate, WEPA is strictly here to promote environmental responsibility, proposal legislation positively impacting the environment, and general environmental education. We have no direct effect into member nations' politics.

Thank You,

NAUKRATIS ECONOMIC BOOM

After the Shahrani-Snarfian conflict, and ban of trade, the colony of Naukratis is enjoying a vast economic boom, because Corinthos has trade agreements with both nations. Corinthos has lowered trade tariffs for both nations, for wares coming and leaving Naukratis. This ensured that trade between Shahrani and Snarfia between private corporations and now going through Naukratis.

As for Naukratis, the border fence is now complete, and no more Loxan migrants are let into the country. The Corinthian Miliary is guarding the borders, and everyone illegally trying to enter the state will be shot on sight. Corinthos is bent on it's position of not letting any nation send refugees back to Naukratis, who is not a Corinthian citizen.

CORINTHOS SUPPORTS BRITISH REPUBLIC

The people of Corinthos have held sympathy protests for the Republic of England and Wales, supporting the Republic. "The right to rule is not gained from birth, it comes from the people of the state! Stand up for England and Wales! Defeat the Tyrants!" These were the main mottoes of the protestors.
Many politicans of the Republic of Corinthos are also openly supporting the Republic of England and Wales, though no official statement has been said yet. First Archon Periandros is not making any statements either, most likely because any answer would significantly change his support, which would not be favourable in sight of the upcoming elections.
The Ecclesia, with both the Gerusia and the Boule, are currently discussing if any political step would be made in either direction. So far, the majority of the Boule votes for a silent approval for the Republic of England and Wales, and let the people decide their own form of state.

King: "WAEPA is not to blame"

WA International News Network - Page 9 3dab027ba18a7c398b0f6a7067004440

In an address to the nation His Supreme Irish Majesty, King Philip I called for calm among the Irish people as the economy faces its largest downturn in years. He also laid out a plan to encourage economic growth as well as pointed out reasons for the downturn.

"Good evening. Recently our nation has been in mild turmoil as the economy faces a downturn. I want to ask for calm in people blaming the World Alliance Environmental Protection Agency. They are not to blame for these problems. What has happened is the fault of both the government and the people. the Government is at fault by not protecting the economy and adding absurd regulations to the market. More specifically the Dublin City Council under the leadership of Mayor Jack Ellis. They recently approved a proposal allowing for the bulldozing thousands of businesses and destroying jobs. After recent talks with the Mayor and the City Council they have agreed to resign and call for elections. The people are also at fault. The Irish People became too overconfident in the market. In this we developed bad budgeting and spending practices. But the Irish Government is working to solve these issues. We have approved many plans to stimulate the economy. These plans require the cooperation of the Irish People however. We have raised the retirement age, lowered taxes, legalized gambling, we have removed regulations, all in hopes of a better economy. This will not be an easy process but if we stand together it can be accomplished. We still have one of the largest economies in this region. We must not forget that. Let us not get too confident in ourselves and in our market. We must be cautious with the economy. We must do this if we want our economy to grow."

"Good evening, last night our government approved a emergency bailout package of €500 Billion to help bail out companies and recover our economy. We do this in the best interests of the Irish job market, the Irish stock market, and the Irish people. This was no easy decision to make but it was necessary. We need to save this economy and we needed to do it quick. It showed no signs of improvement and we could not deal with this. The biggest recipient of the money is the Bank of Ireland at €130 Billion. While this package was necessary it was not easy nor do we celebrate it. We have imposed strict sanctions on these companies. For the next 10 years all profits they make shall go to the government to help us pay off our debt. We have put a salary cap of 600,000. This is the most any official in a corporation that receives this package can receive for the next 15 years. We have added another €200 Billion to our national debt and we make a promise to the world we will pay it off. Ireland will recover. Thank you."

EU GREETS PRESIDENT OF ITALY

With an aim to establish official ties, His Excellency, the President of the New Italian Republic arrived in Moscow for his first and official State Visit to the Eurussian Empire. He was personally welcomed by Vice Chancellor Dmitry Medvedev who accompanied the visiting leader to the Imperial Kremlin Palace for the welcome honours and to meet Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Elizabeth and the Eurussian Imperial Family. This was followed by a bilateral meeting at the White House with Chancellor Vladimir Putin where the two leaders discussed wide ranging issues and formally inked the two nations' Friendship Treaty sealing their diplomatic, security, and economic relations.

On the following day, the President of the Italian Republic paid a courtesy visit at the headquarters of the Security Council in Moscow and the global head offices of the WA Peacekeeping Force, the WA Space Agency, the WA Health Agency, and the WA Cultural Agency in Saint Petersburg. In the evening, a State Banquet was held at the imperial palace in Moscow hosted by the Eurussian Empress in honor of the President of the New Italian Republic and his successful State Visit to the Eurussian Empire.

EU CONDEMNS SHAHRANI

The Eurussian Anti-Terrorism Cooperation Agency, under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, has condemned the nation of Shahrani for supporting and funding the terrorism acts and activities of the SHDKZ Terrorist Group in Snarfia. This comes after the Snarfian Secret Service published its findings that the Shahrani Government has been supplying the terrorist organization through the use of civilian ships. Because of the report, Moscow is reportedly mulling on imposing damaging international sanctions or even a wide ranging and crippling trade embargo against Shahrani. There are also unverified reports that the government is considering a military action against Shahrani.

EU CRITICIZES IRISH BAILOUT

After holding an emergency dialogue with the Eurussian Chamber of Commerce and the Eurussian Central Bank who expressed grave concerns on the multi-billion bailout program of the Irish Government to kick start its sluggish and failing economy, the Ministry of Trade has criticized the Bank of Ireland and the National Government of Ireland for the €500 billion bailout package for the biggest Irish companies severely affected by the Irish economic crisis. The rare criticism stems from the highly unfair and very restrictive conditions of the bailout plan requiring all and every single company availing of the bailout package to surrender 100% of their profits to the Irish state for a period of ten years which according to the Trade Ministry harms Eurussian business interests in Ireland. The Trade Ministry said that they will seek the modification of the Irish bailout program and will raise the matter before the Eurussian - Irish Council. It is also reported that the EU Ambassador in Dublin is seeking a meeting with the Irish Trade Minister, the Irish Prime Minister, and even the Irish King to raise the concerns of the Eurussian Government.

EU JOINS GLOBAL ECO SUMMIT

As thousands of environmentalists around the world take the opportunity to join the leaders and representatives of various countries gathering in Moscow for the historic Annual Environmental Conference, the government tasked its top diplomat to the World Alliance Government to represent the country in the summit with the aid of the Director of the Eurussian Environment Agency. The world summit aims to discuss various environmental problems confronting the world allowing the exclusivity of the matter to pave way for a more focused proposals and policies related to the environment.

EU FUNDING ENG&WALES ROYALISTS?

An online editorial in a widely circulated newspaper whose editor is reportedly a republican sympathizer has openly accused the Eurussian Intelligency Agency, the nation's most secretive organization which is categorized as an independent agency under the Ministry of Defense, for instigating instability in England & Wales, particularly by funding the activities and operations of royalist groups and royalist movements in the country. The news article has also linked the Eurussian Intelligence Agency for stirring divisions within the military organization of England and Wales creating tensions between republican and royalist sympathizers. As expected, the Eurussian Intelligence Agency did not issued any statement on the matter but simply referred the issue to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which emphasized Moscow's long standing policy of non-interference on the internal affairs of other nations.

Shahrani marks Eurussia as possible threat to freedom

The king of Shahrani posted on his facebook page that our nation will not tolerate the actions against Shahrani:

"La gente buena noche de nuestra gloriosa nación.

Gran Eurussia. Nuestro aliado de mucho tiempo. Nuestro amigo nacional. Ha acaba de dar la noticia de que Shahrani puede esperar sanciones por lo Snarfia afirma que hicimos.

Shahrani sobrevivirá este sanciones fácilmente debido a acuerdos comerciales con diferentes otras naciones. Pero lo que realmente me duele es que Gran Eurussia está amenazando a la gente de Shahrani con la acción militar.

Shahrani protegerá a la gente! no vamos a inclinarse si esto sucede!"

Good Evening people of our glorious nation.

Great Eurussia. Our long time ally. Our national friend. Has just given news that Shahrani can expect sanctions for what Snarfia claims we did.

Shahrani will survive this sanctions easily because of trade agreements with different other nations. But what really hurts me is that Great Eurussia is threatening the people of Shahrani with military action.

Shahrani will protect the people! we will not bow if this happens!
