Imperial Decree #180: Our Temporary Stance

I have been away from Shireroth this weekend. It was an undeclared leave of absense yes, but it was short, and I had a Steward to take care of any minor issues. I thought: "Nothing bad could happen in two days..."

Now I know nothing is further from the truth. I come back to find the GC and this newly formed SPEAR at each other's throats, and both desperately trying to get US involved.

WHAT'S MORE, I FIND OUT WE'VE BEEN INCLUDED INTO A TREATY (SPEAR) WITHOUT MY PRIOR KNOWLEDGE!

Yes. That's right. The leader of Shireroth had been given ~NO~ prior knowledge of this, nor was he asked if indeed he WANTED Shireroth to be involved. To this end I am EXTREMELY insulted. I don't have any solid proof as to who included us, and I would like a SPEAR representative to come forward and tell me who was acting on Shireroth's behalf without our consent.

TO THIS END, after much debate with my advisors and my Steward, I have decided to veto both the Mango-Camel treaty AND the SPEAR ratification treaty untill I find out more information as to why on Micras we should care about either of you. This is our official temporary statement of neutrality, don't take it personally GC or SPEAR or any nations involved.

Any statements, questions, or general weirdness may be posted below, but if it degrades into a flame war, or anything similiar, then I will close this thread.
