Amid War in Majatra; Luthori reaffrims committment to Mordusian sovereignty and independence.
August 5578

Fort William, Luthori - Mordusia is one of Luthori's oldest ally in the Seleyan continent. The country is considered by some to be "more Luthorian" than Luthori itself. After all, you don't build the reputation of being the "Stalwart Dominion" by doing nothing. Luthori-Mordusian relations have been increasing over the years for the better, repairing after decades of cold policy caused by an anti-Luthorian policy in Randworth. These relations now seems to have been cemented into stone, as today, amid the outbreak of the Pontesi-Istalian and Kafuri-Istalian Wars, the Luthorian Prime Minister, Mr. Carrington announced that Luthori would consider "any attack on Mordusian sovereignty as an attack on Luthori itself" and that Luthori would committ itself to the full defence of the Mordusian nationstate.

This committment isn't coming as a big surprise to any foreign policy analyst, as Luthori's involvement in Mordusia has been continuous ever since the restoration of the Monarchy in the country, fostering the creation of a mutally-beneficial relationship forged around the Monarchy and HM, the Empress. In 54XX, Luthori officialized its intention of defending the Commonwealth "whatever the cost may be" by sending the Imperial Luthorian Navy on the western coastline of Mordusia, entering a de-facto defence pact with the Commonwealth. Yet, it should be noted that this "defence pact" is considered to be one-sided, as Mordusia, officially, doesn't have any obligation to help Luthori during a War, while Luthori has, de facto, the obligation of helping Mordusia during a War, mostly due to the image of "Leader of the Luthorian World" that the Luthorian Government is trying to project and ever since the failure of Luthorian intervention during the Lost Souls War (LSW), Luthori has undertook some reforms to its alliance and committments policy.

Prime Minister Carrington announced that the Luthorian Government has sent a memorandum to announce that the committment of the Imperial General Staff and Luthorian Government to defend the Commonwealth is still intact, especially in the case of a War against the Istalian communists. Fort William sent this memorandum before the Commonwealth conference in 5578 to enter talkd between both governments for closer integration of their militaries, as Randworth is seemingly becoming more interested in expanding the current existing capabilities of the Mordusian Armed Forces with Luthorian help.

Randworth has not yet stated an offical reaction, yet it's likely that the Mordusian Federal Government may feel embolden by this direct support coming from Luthori, a policy change due to this reaffirmation of Luthori's defence obligations towards Mordusia isn't to rule out.
