Increase in international recognition strengthens Istalia 

The Government responds firmly to Deltaria and Kafuristan: "We need neither the recognition nor the approval of governments that oppress their citizens and welcomes terrorists"

ROMULA - Months have passed since the declarations by Deltaria and Kafuristan with which both their government refused to recognize the legitimacy of the re-established Government of Istalia granting their recognition instead to the Grand Emirate of Quanzar and their government-in-exile haroberd in Kafuristan, and to an unidentified entity defined by both governments as the "Republic of Alaria", probably refering to the supprimed Socialist Republic of Alaria superseeded by the government of the Imperial State of Istalia.

The Government's decision to finally respond to these provocations comes as international recognition for Istalia increases, with more and more diplomatic delegations returning to occupy embassies in Romula, and with the further issuance and placement of government bonds certifying the trust that has returned to Istalia at an international level.

The government is working hard to negotiate new economic and trade agreements, and in view of a possible large international conference that, according to rumors coming from Egelion, King Romulus I intends to organize in the aftermath of these last decades characterized by conflicts in almost all continents, including the Istalian one, but also the disastrous nuclear epilogue of the conflict between Xampa and Beiteynu, the revolutions in western Majatra, the conflicts in northern Seleya and in Kundrati, last but not least the spread of extremist ideologies and regimes, the Government aims to partecipate to further increase Istalia's international visibility and to expand its contacts and establish new relationships.

The participation of numerous delegations of foreign governments at the Proclamation of the Emperor had already strengthened the country's position at an international level and certainly the participation in a possible international conference will be a further confirmation for the credibility of the country.

This is the official statement of the Government of the Imperial State of Istalia released by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Relations Army's Corps General Valerio Salgari:

This is the official statement from the Government of the Imperial State of Istalia:

The Government of the Imperial State of Istalia takes note of the statements from Deltaria and Kafuristan with the indifference that is reserved for such authoritarian regimes, where the very concept of legitimacy is emptied of all meaning and reduced to a mere imposition of force. It is not surprising that the Thallers, accustomed for generations to confusing law with dynastic whim, do not even understand what "legitimacy" truly means. For them, governing means standing on a throne and demanding obedience, while for us it means serving the people and respecting their sovereign will.

The sovereignty and legitimacy of the Imperial State of Istalia require neither the recognition nor the approval of governments that oppress their citizens and deny them every fundamental right and that harbours and cooperate with terroristic organizations. Our nation freed itself from occupation and tyranny with the sacrifice and the will of its people, and no propaganda statement can ever erase this reality.

If the position taken by Deltaria and Kafuristan should result in the absence of their diplomatic representations in Romula, we can do without it. We prefer sincere, loyal interlocutors who respect the will of the people rather than delegations from regimes that mistake arrogance for authority. We will not lack embassies, nor will Istalia miss relations with two countries that glorify themselves behind their contempt for democracy.

While Deltaria and Kafuristan persist in supporting fictitious entities devoid of any real basis, the Imperial State of Istalia continues with determination to strengthen its institutions and expand its international relations. Numerous states on every continent recognize our legitimacy and are willing to establish fruitful diplomatic, economic and cultural relations with us, regardless of what those tyrannical regimes may claim.

The Imperial State of Istalia is projected towards the future, in a path of growth and consolidation on the international scene. History does not stop in front of unfounded declarations and neither do we.

Thank you
