Message | We will consider a unilateral withdrawal from the Peace Treaty of Baofluz to be another unprovoked declaration of war on Deltaria. Obviously, we will respond appropriately. As Jelbania has no armed forces whatsoever this time around, the war will favour the Jelbék even less than it did in the ill-fated Jelbanian-Deltarian War, and our terms of peace will truly be retributive, on a scale as yet unseen in Majatra. Do as you feel is right ; our greenest vojniks are soft and naive, and in want of a blooding. Jindřich Sivák Voice of the Czar |

Random fact: In cases where a party has no seat, the default presumption should be that the party is able to contribute to debates in the legislature due to one of its members winning a seat at a by-election. However, players may collectively improvise arrangements of their own to provide a satisfying explanation for how parties with no seats in the legislature can speak and vote there. |
Random quote: "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson |
