| Message | We live in a dangerous international environment, with foreign powers envious of our resources and territory constantly threatening our independence. We assure Mr. Langlois that Deltaria or Zardugal will not treat our soldiers or civilians humanely if we ever find ourselves at war with them. Bák Husnsrmko Obmé, Minister of Defence |

| Message | Even if the Deltarians and Zardics behaved as barbarously towards us as the Defence Minister suggests, that would not morally justify us in using torture and weapons of mass destruction on a whim. Ethics must come into the equation somewhere! Lionel Langlois Chairman of the HNP |

| Message | Zardugal is horrified at being compared to the Deltarian practices in such a way. Gerald Hutler Foreign Minister |
