The Coup in Kizenia two days ago has raised alarms in Kalburg. Their Imperial Majesties' Defense Minister, Major Morris Grant has ordered The 1st Regular Fleet to make weigh for the North Anantonese Ocean. "We have placed the First Regular Fleet on full alert following the recent golpe in Kizenia," said the Defense Minister. "This is a precaution: Kalistan is not the target of this strike against the legitimate government of Kizenia, nor, despite its proximity to the Anantonese Empire, is Kalistani National territory a target. We do have fairly considerable business dealings, primarily in terms of import and export operations, tourism, transportation, and shipping, most especially along the southern Anantonese facing coast, and so we want to make sure that Kalistani property and our expatriate community in southern Keris remains safe and secure as Kizenia sorts its government out and restores legitimate, civilian government as soon as possible."

The Defense Minister stated that the Navy will assist in any repatriation and evacuation efforts that may be launched should Kalistani Nationals and Kizenian refugees seek to leave the state. "All Kalistani Nationals and those from Kizenia who wish to evacuate the nation should make their way to the Kalistani Embassy or various consular offices in the Kingdom of Egelion. The Government of Kalistan will certainly facilitate the repatriation of all Kalistani nationals and will expedite any asylum claims from Kizenian citizens who wish to come to Kalistan to sit the crisis out."

The entire 1st Regular Fleet will take up stations along all shipping lanes in the region and just inside international waters off the southern coast of Kizenia to make our presence known. "We also will assist any loyal forces of Kizenia's military who does not support the overthrow of the Government in any way we can without directly intervening in the crisis," said Major Grant. "Kalistan will not interfere here in the current situation. We will reserve the right to change this policy, should things change. But as of right at this moment, we are observing." IBSI is reportedly also monitoring the situation and is providing regular updates to both Their Imperial Majesties and the principles in their Government.
