KANZLERAMT, DUNBURG - As the Dual Republic is ridden with turmoil, with the sudden disapperance of President zum Clenonberg and the rise to power of an authoritarian leader named Theodora Lackmann, the Federal Government has expressed its utmost concern for the stability in the whole of N&D, as well for the civil rights situation in the nation. Chancellor Göbelknecht says that while the Federal Republic fully recognizes the new Government and won't comment on the political affairs in the Dual Republic, Dundorf wants reassurances that Ms. Lackmann's rise to power won't constitute a risk to N&D's and Artania's stability and as well wants reassurances that the rise to power of the "Order Faction" will not put at risk basic civil and political liberties on the long run. 

We know well and very much like to cooperate with Mr. Sleyster and his party, but we don't know Ms. Lackmann and the so-called Order Faction, Dundorf supports N&D and because of this, we're asking for a few reassurances on this [on stability and civil rights]. (quote from Chancellor Göbelknecht's speech)

Under the advice of intelligence agencies, diplomatic staff and Dundorfian citizens won't be recalled home, explained the Foreign Ministry, but advised its citizens to pay an higher level of attention and avoid attending politicall events for now, on the same note, trade is expected to continue smoothly under higher supervision for Dundorfian workers abroad and the Federal Republic will continue to receive Dual Republican citizens normally in the nation's airports and frontiers, this is because the BND believes 'while higher attention is suggested, no credible threats to Dundorf and her citizens are expected in this situation'. Out of caution, the Foreign Ministry authorized the Embassy in Bannerhafen and consulates throughout N&D to continue welcoming in their buldings anyone who might want to seek refuge in them, as the turmoil situation might have some people afraid.
