Harvey Steffke wrote:With respect to the representative from Batavia, we have enough realistic problems without fabricating rhetorical ones. If the good nation of Batavia, or indeed any country, has an official stance to make on the matter than I believe we would all be very pleased to hear their views. But until that occurs, merely speculating on what your government "may" do without their knowledge or approval is neither useful in this discussion nor becoming of a representative.

Kaiseress Anandja II wrote:That is correct, but none of us behave as if we represent our nations. You tend to do that.

Jonas, in that case I would negotiate with the Batavians and see if I could alleviate their concerns. I trust that they are sensible people and such negotiations would be possible.

Harvey Steffke wrote:Jonas is basically our only contact with them. The language barrier is pretty harsh and I haven't seen Max around here in a while.

Harvey Steffke wrote:Oooooorrrr we could decide if we want to do it at all, put it to a vote, and have them get back to us or not like every other country. Not quite sure why we need to wait for special permission from Batavia.
