Chancellor of the Empire issues notice that Kalistani Diplomatic Personnel will return from Egelion following unprovoked attacks by Kingdom in Dovani

The Chancellor of the Empire, Lady Ericka Donahue, addressed the National Assembly to announce that Her Imperial Majesty, Empress Carolina II Ananto has ordered Kalistani diplomatic personnel to be recalled to Kalistan and has officially asked the Egelian Ambassador in Kaliburg to remove the King of Egelion's representatives back to Egelion ahead of the the issuance of a declaration of Personna Non Grata on June 15. The Chancellor, who is set to retire in just under two years appeared exasperated and quite annoyed by the Egelian attack on the central Dovani nation, and called it "unprovoked."

"Her Imperial Majesty has officially recalled all Kalistani officials from Egelion and has ordered the Kalistani Embassy closed," said the Chancellor. "The Empress has ordered Consular services to continue until May 31, after which point they will be suspended. The Consular services will be opened to all Kalistanis seeking to depart from the Northern Kingdom. She has also issued a Personna Non Grata order for all representatives of the Egelian Government, which will take effect on June 15 of this year. This action is taken in direct response to Egelion's willful and bad faith insertion into the civil war in New Verham."

It is widely believed that the PNG order is the first step in further sanctions against the aggressively expansionistic Kerisian Empire. "Egelion has demonstrated over the course of its history, that it does not do anything where it will not be able to gain territory and or military concessions. Egelion has never historically acted in good faith. We have seen this same playbook time and time again: In Rildanor, they had no business, nor any interests in entering that conflict, but did so so that they could annex a naval base and establish a naval presence on the opposite side of the world from their home. In Kizenia, they entered the conflict as a prelude to annexing the entire nation, through personal union to their Empire. And in Kundrati they entered... No, as a matter of fact, they did not join that war, a just war that involved the other major players, because they would not be able to gain any land or military concessions for themselves.

"Egelion is now involving itself, with no evidence that it was asked to do so, in yet another conflict where it has no business, no interests, and no real reason to be there. It is assumed that they intend to make New Verham into an outpost for their Empire as they have each and every time they have ever intervened anywhere. There are a pernicious and deepening threat and Kalistan will not support them in anyway. We will in fact do all we can to hinder further Egelian expansion, which is by definition hypocritical, illegitimate and self-serving."

The Chancellor also had a personal note for the Egelian King. "In this announcement, Her Imperial Majesty would like me to read the following statement:

"Estimado primo León:

"En tiempos difíciles, es importante que reflexiones sobre tus acciones. Es mucho mejor que te esfuerces por mantener cerca a tus amigos, cueste lo que cueste, que tomar decisiones precipitadas que podrían romper relaciones duraderas. Esta es la forma más efectiva de ser un buen gobernante. Lo más sensato es buscar a quienes consideras cercanos y tomarte un momento para pensar cómo tus acciones impulsivas afectarán tu relación con ellos. Porque es mejor tener amigos de tu lado que actuar sin pensar y alejar a quienes intentaban colaborar contigo y reparar los daños anteriores.

"Quizás sea demasiado tarde ahora para que sigas este sabio consejo, pero estas palabras te serán de gran utilidad en el futuro. Habrá momentos en los que sentirás miedo, y habrá momentos de incertidumbre, y tus pares, no tus subordinados, podrán ayudarte a tomar una decisión acertada, basada en la perspectiva, en lugar del impulso y el egoísmo. Habrías actuado sabiamente si hubieras seguido el consejo que nos diste cuando fuimos coronados, pero en cambio, optaste por comportarte como un niño con un arma grande, y ​​predeciblemente has dañado nuestra relación una vez más. Un líder sabio sabe cuándo no atacar. Un líder sabio sabe que la defensa es una garantía mucho mejor para la paz y la seguridad que un imperio en constante e incomprensible expansión. Esperamos que tomes mejores decisiones en el futuro y te aconsejamos que destituyas de inmediato a los consejeros que te indujeron al error en esta ocasión.

"Tu antigua amiga, Carolina Ananto"

Finally, the Chancellor announced that the 1st Fleet has been put on alert in the Northern Anantonese, in case Egelion decides to retaliate militarily against Kalistan for illuminating the illegitimacy of its intervention in New Verham. Additional sanctions will be placed on Egelion in the near future, and it is widely believed that the PNG order beginning on June 1st will include a travel ban to Egelion in protest of the intervention and eventual annexation of some or all of New Verham to the Egelian Empire. The Chancellor said she would be surprised if any other nations joined Kalistani sanctions against Egelion, because apparently no other nation shares Kalistan's concern for the ongoing Egelian threat to global security.
