MESSAGE FROM MILLICENT SMITH, FOREIGN MINISTER, DEMOCRATIC-REPUBLIC OF ALORIA:
As you know, the Imperial Diet of Luthori voted to overturn the country's longtime emperor, and begin a new era of democratic rule. Unfortunately, the emperor did not accept that decision, instead lobbying foreign monarchies from around Terra to intervene in the country on his behalf.
Our policy is to promote democracy abroad. In the face of such a clear decision to begin down the path of democracy, we felt we must intervene on the side of Republican forces in Luthori. To that effect, we have deployed 1000 military advisors to Luthori, and devoted substantial resources from our intelligence service to assist Republican forces.
But we are badly outnumbered. Several nations have forged the "Monarchist Alliance," and are devoting substantial resources to overturning the will of the Luthori Diet. We would be willing to invest more resources--if only other nations were willing to intervene for democracy along side us.
We invite the nations of the world to join a "Republican Alliance" to support the cause of freedom in Luthori against the forces of tyranny.
All nations willing to join the cause of freedom please notify the Alorian Foreign Ministry at your earliest convenience. The situation is dire, and grows more so every day.

the Government of the Democratic Republic of Aloria
