| Message | We are split on this. We support the budget, except for the adjustment to defense. We currently have Deltaria and Kanjor threatening us, and cutting our Defense budget by such a significant amount is insane. |

| Message | The "Dxxxxxxx and Kxxxxx" issue has been settled by Lodamun's Foreign Ministry following the deployment and delivery of the most cost effective weapon in our arsenal. |

| Message | I'm sorry, but you're going to have to clarify that a bit more... What?! |

| Message | I can clarify that for you - they've been IGNORED by me, and I'm the Foreign Minister, remember? Most, if not all, RP would have to go through me, OR a Citizens Assembly vote/discussion. |

| Message | (Mixed IC and OOC:) Gotcha. That's kindof what I thought he meant, but there was a possibility he meant something else. I wouldnt really consider this method to be an IC weapon, however. I still can't justify such a steep defense cut, however. If you remember, TiC held that Defense and Justice are the two valid priorities of a government. I'm not certain what I'm going to do with the Remnants or the soon-to-be-reconstituted party, however. Suggestions are welcome, my creativity is finite and it is far easier to simply follow actual politics(though loosely), than to play a completely imagined party. |

| Message | Deltaria and/or Kanjor would have to be crazy to attack us (Well, more crazy than they already are). They'd have Rutania and Baltusia declare war on them, followed by atleast Endralon and Tukarali. |

However the problem still exists that they seem to be insane fascists bent on world destruction. |

| Message | re Deltaria: we need to know iof we are ignoring the entire country, or just their dumb hostage RP. I'd be prepared to accept that D**** exists and is a fascist state bent on world destruction, but i'm not prepared to believe that we took no precautions to protect our diplomats, knowing that Deltarians are insane warmongers. And i am not prepared to believe that any democratic state (ie all states in the game) are supporting them. Let's make a statement that we IGNORE war RP until it's implemented -- especially since all war RP is initiated by idiot teenage boys spoiling for a fight. Countries like Lodamun and Rutania composed of people with at least half a brain and a rudimentary knowledge of politics should not be dragged into idiotic non-consensual RP of the "w3 nooooks U lol" style. |

| Message | Perhaps we can draft a "We are ignoring RP war" treaty? Any nations that sign it can be immune from war until it actually exists. |
