Norterra Summit (Keris War)

[Doc]

Lady Ericka Donahue, Chancellor of the Empire, Ananto and Kalistan

Señor, with respect, We have a number of points that lead into this discussion.

1. We would like to hear from the Reresentative from Kizenia regarding what the future of this nation will be before Kalistan agrees to anything.

2. We understand that there are all sorts of elections occuring in Kizenia. In the South, where Kalistan operates and has secured the zone for several years, the population has elected their town governments who are busy administering the towns of Luncasi and Deltabor. These are local governments, they are made up of the people, and they serve in a non-politicized capacity to ensure city infrastructure is maintained, city security is maintained, and the city population has a voice to the occupation authority. They do not work for the Kalistanis: Our forces assist them where needed and have done so for years. Meanwhile, we have been expanding the port facilities in Luncasi, and the transportation infrastructure between that city and Delatbor on the Egelion frontier. We are prepared to hand that back to a Native Kizenian government. Not one where part of the country is being governed by a thinly veiled puppet government that advocates for radical revolutionary Metzist ideology, and seeks to transform the northern fifth of the country into a Trigunian aligned workers dystopia. And certainly not one who will simply hand over Kalistani investment and the property of Kalistani expats to the Egelians when we leave.

3. You will forgive our suspicions, Señor Mondragon. It was not our intention to ever be working side by side with Communists who immediately set about to build local governments in a Metzist model. It was our impression that the battle was against a fascistic dictatorship, for the liberation of the Kizenian people, the restoration of legitimate government across the entire country, and the restoration of the balance of power in the region. Even if its not a matter of direct annexation in the north, even puppet realignment of this country threatens to let a nation that is correctly being contained out of its box. And it would appear that, to this moment, there is not really any push to address that issue. Our proposal is an entirely independent and integral Kizenia, where we call the removal of the junta a victory, and all go home. But until that happens, it is unlikely that Kalistan will go home unilaterally. We've gotten tricked far too often by people intent on pulling the wool over our eyes, promising us things using slippery and imprecise language, and then as soon as we take the bait, stabbing us in the throat. It cannot happen this time. We're here and we're staying until there is adjustment in other parts of this nation.

With all due respect to Their Imperial Majesties' Cousin, El Rey... y las Communistas Norteñas. I will add one final observation. Their Imperial Majesties find it ironic that the only Empire in this discussion is the one calling for no empire building out of Kizenia. There were terms Egelion discussed at the beginning of Kalistani involvement which also included, I believe representatives of the Kizenian government in exile. It is at the very least the same terms we intend to hold the victorious powers to now. They have nothing to do with communism spreading in Kizenia, and they have nothing to do with building an Egelian proxy state out of Kizenia. It is a matter I hope His Majesty will clarify before going forward. I will stand by for other comments.
