A Response to threats to the Kingdom.
August, 5559
Foreign Minister Andrej Weschler didn't provide much in the way of a response to Narikaton and Darnussia "condemning" the Dorvish government for defending Artanian sovereignty. "Time and time again we have nations that bend over backwards to foreign powers in self-interest, in this case it was Malivia and now its Narikaton and Darnussia and potentially Hobrazia. Dorvik continues to defend Artanian sovereignty and will continue to do so. The Carrier Strike Group deployment to Migrant's Pass and additional patrols will resume in the Lievanian Sea and the Artanian Sea without hesitation. We will of course continue to comply with all regulations as set forth in the Law of the Sea, which is international maritime law." Reporters questioned the statement that the Dorvish would be "sanctioned" and the Foreign Minister provided a helpless shrug. "Dundorf leases commercial maritime space in Dorvik and should they decide to sanction us, that would be a pretty egregious breach of their strategic partnership agreement with Dorvik and would certainly hurt their own economy for sometime before they were able to recover. The Dorvish and Dundorfians have a long history and I am sure that we'll continue that relationship regardless of Narikaton and Darnussia, an upstart in recent years, opinion." The loss of trade with Narikaton and Darnussia would hurt, but has been minimal in recent years, largely due to the lack of continued development on the part of both nations. "While there will be pain for a bit, its nothing that cannot be recovered from without much issue. We're fortunate to have a multitude of trading partners on Artania and across the globe, including several major emerging markets." The Foreign Minister didn't have much to say about Luthori and its trading status with Dorvik. It is well known that Luthori, the wannabe "leader" of the continent has struggled to maintain trade relations with several nations on Artania in pursuit of neo-Imperial ambitions with the Commonwealth and has sought to expand its suzerainty over nations such as Mordusia, Lodamun and others.
"At the end of the day Narikaton and Darnussia and Luthori are not for Artanian sovereignty, and they will continue to kowtow to foreign powers in the pursuit of self-interest." The Foreign Minister did not respond to the threats from the Narikaton and Darnussian Foreign Minister regarding any action taken against Dorvish ships. "I don't really have to comment on that, we all know that the institution of the Dorvish Armed Forces is what it is."
