Egelion

[Louis]

Diplomats and ambassadors were left confused and surprised both in Kaliburg and Altéa after a damning, reactionary change of foreign policy from Kalistan was announced by the chancellor of the empire. All diplomatic personnel immediately vacated office in both countries, some Kalistani diplomats not even understanding the decision of their own government--to which the chancellor herself acknowledged. In Altéa, the IDE scrambled to assemble all appropriate paperwork and details for Kalistani diplomats to return home safely and as soon as possible. Royal Councilor Mondragon attempted to call Kaliburg not received no response.

Two hours after the announcement, Mondragon quickly traveled to Sorsuela Palace to speak with the Emperor and the ongoing situation. Within the hour, the Emperor addressed the nation over the abrupt change of policy. In his speech, Emperor Leon Alexander highlighted the random shift in policy taken by Ananto given the amicable and positive meeting with the Empress years ago. The speech detailed the lack of communication on Kalistan's part and what the emperor called: "The Institution of Paranoia", once again, taking control of level heads.

Kalistan's abrupt change in policy came after Egelion's intervention in New Verham, which does not involve the Anantonese region at all, and Egelion's quick thinking to bring a quick end to the war. Kalistan, fueled by self-destructing raging envy and fears of power shifts, sought to end relations with Egelion--without a second thought. The young, puerile Empress even released a statement directed at Emperor Leon. Mondragon reacted to the entire situation during the Emperor's address, staying that Egelion: "fought fascists with Kalistan, grew with Kalistan, and trusted in Kalistan, yet the feeling was not mutual. Bound by hideous envy and a lack of status, Kalistan has decided to burn all bridges with Egelion. Egelion invited Kalistan to assist with Kerisian affairs, something Kalistan would be so reluctant to do, and yet still believed that Egelion's actions thousands of miles away matters more."

The Emperor's address leans on randomness, sorrow, and pledges that Egelion would do what Kalistan wanted this entire time. "

Kalistan has relied so much on seeking power and seeking glory that it has abandoned one of its closest allies. We shall grant them that. For once in a thousand years of asinine foreign policy decisions, they have finally achieved what they wanted: to be alone. Egelion shall ensure all Kalistani citizens are returned to their country safely. Diplomats and ambassadors shall also return to the enjoy. All Kalistani assets of all kinds will be seized. Travel to and from the country is no longer permitted under Egelian law. I have also directed Castillo Garibaldi to begin plans for the expulsion of all Kalistani resources, material and personnel, from the cities of Lunçasi and Deltabor. Upon discussions with our allies in Portesti, the free cities shall return to the government of the Tripartite Kingdom and no longer house any Kalistani personnel--under the full night of the Egelian armed forces, this shall be done.

The Royal Council had stated that no sanctions will be placed on Kalistan, since all provocations have started because of Kalistan, that is where they will remain. All personnel and citizens will be given multiple, safe opportunities to leave the empire. Montalivet that the Royal Marines and Armada are on their way to New Endralon to ensure that Kalistani personnel fully leave the cities. Royal Councilor Mondragon offered little words beyond the emperor's address adding on that once again, using paranoia and power-seeking strategies, Kalistan overlooked Egelion's mission in New Verham, which is now under Wrnuke's leadership, jumped to conclusions, and is now facing consequences.

"We simply cannot trust or be friends with a nation who thinks power and flattery are a way to handle affairs. We cannot tolerate a so-called empire to rely on fear as their ultimate policy. It is like constantly watching a child'd tantrum. Kalistan cannot blame this failure of policy on anyone but themselves. The young empress once again falls flat on her face with a government that simply does not comprehend the basic tenants of international cooperation in Terra. Their loss of Egelion and it's resources is unrepairable. Once again, the glittering empire shows Terra that it cannot handle complex relationships. Perhaps the jewels in their vaults can full the void where they lack proper relationships. We simply cannot deal with immaturity any longer. We send our best wishes to Her Majesty, may she reign peacefully and wisely for many years to come", ended Mondragon.
