FOREIGN MINISTER CALLS FOR ARTANIAN REDUCTION OF TENSION
 
Foreign Office, December 18, 5558: Foreign Minister Franz-Joseph Frohlich  was asked by  ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER whether    Ambassador  Franzizka Munterfering[font='Trebuchet MS', sans-serif]zis [/font]was speaking for the Government with her remarks on Dorvik and the Dual Republic.  Frohlich replied:
 

Not as such.  She was making her views known to the Foreign Office.  But I encouraged her to give them to the public since there is an unfortunate controversy in progress that needs to be reduced in intensity and because she makes an excellent suggestion I believe we can adopt prospectively.
 
We were talking Pan Dundorfian projects with the Konigreich and the Dual Republic which were getting underway and actually beginning; railway connections and oil pipelines.  And more to follow.
 
And now the Konigreich and the Dual Republic are at cross purposes in a face off.  The Bundesrepublik would really like to get back to where we were. Working together for a better future for all of us.  Seriously. But that will not be easy.  Not all.  Accusations have been made and hostility detected.
 
How to begin.  We have two suggestions.  First think everyone should recognize the intent of both our friends was to protect the sovereignty of Artatanian nations.  And if we can not agree at least consider that possibility.   And second, think everyone should recognize neither the Konigreich nor the Dual Republic had any intent to threaten the other.  Of that the Bundesrepublik is certain.
 
Which brings us to the Ambassador’s suggestion to avoid some future controversy.  A little advance notice would alleviate a lot of problems.  A lot.  How?  First, no surprises.  And second, sometimes a nation has a bad idea and talking to a friend shows them the pitfalls.
 
In any event, we hope some steps toward reconciliation will be made.

Asked if Dundorf had imposed sanctions on Dorvik, Frohlich replied:

No.
