OFFICIAL MINISTRY POLICY RE: NEDERLANDEN
22 KRONDOKIN, 3951 ASC
In the name of Her Niftiness, Kaiseress Anandja II Mita, Keeper of the Apollo Legacy, Grand Mistress of the Orders of the Dragon, Griffin, Phoenix, and Chimera, Wielder of Vengeance, Bearer of the Celestial Barrier, Countess of Shirekeep, Princess of Hvalafell, and Lady of the Golden Mango Throne:
Thank you to both sides for providing information to us poor English speakers. I have combed over the Nederlanden forums with Google Translate and tried to verify as much as I could.
To the best of my knowledge, ex-President Romez is telling the truth when he says he was removed in a coup by abuse of forum powers. On the word of Jonas, Shireroth's oldest friend in the Dutch Sector, I am willing to believe ex-President Romez when he says that Franz and Saladin are the same person. I was also able to find the ex-President's case in the Court and verify the refusal of the new government to try it. Ambassador Vermussen has yet to directly deny these allegations.
The recent elections in Nederlanden seem to have been conducted freely and fairly, but they are invalid if, as ex-President Romez says, the resulting distribution of power violates the constitution.
Therefore, Shireroth has no choice but to revoke our recognition of der Nederlanden for the time being.
We urge both parties to place their case before a neutral mediating body, and we recommend the Small Commonwealth Court. Its three jurists are not from the Dutch Sector and therefore should be as close to neutral in this matter as anyone is likely to find.
If der Nederlanden allows this case to be tried before the Commonwealth Court or an international legal body of similar repute and complies with their decisions, we will resume normal friendly relations.
Please do not hesitate to contact the Ministry of the Exterior if there is any other way we can be of service.
