March 2148 Announcement from the Government of the Republic of Likatonia
This press message was released by the Government of the Republic of Likatonia. First Advocate Marianne Sandrine, of the Anarch Anakrousite Shatter of Likatonia issues the following statement on behalf of the Senate:
The Likatonian government observes unrest on our borders. We see disruption and disorder close to our sovereign territory, and to our cherished citizens. We see disorganisation in danger of crossing the faint 'line in the sand' that marks the division between Likatonia and our neighbour to the East.
Thus far, the Likatonian Senate has served the will of the Likatonian people, and that 'will' has directed the Likatonian military to remain inactive, and the Likatonian government to remain unembroiled in the chaos by our borders.
However, the unrelenting eye of the Likatonian Security Forces have noticed hints of incursion. Indeed, it appears that some of the conflicting agents have been crossing the border for military, strategic or some other purpose.
This places our sovereignty and security at risk, and the people are 'uncomfortable'.
In consequence, Likatonia's Progressive Social Strength party has been petitioned by their constituents, to present a Resolution before the Senate, which has received overwhelming support by Likatonian government representatives.
This Resolution, the "Resolution on Lodamun/Likatonian Border Security" requires that the Likatonia/Lodamun border be sealed; that internal Security Forces be dispatched to safeguard that border; and that foreign powers be informed that the Likatonian border is sacrosanct, and any attempt to cross that line will, henceforth, be regarded as Hostile Action.
Likatonia does NOT wish to become involved in this contest of military brinkmanship, and has, thus far, remained 'isolated'. We have not involved ourselves, in any capacity, on either 'side'.
We wish this 'isolation' to remain unaffected, and to be respected by all parties.
By the time this press release is delivered, Likatonian Security Forces will be manning the Likatonian border outposts, and our Strategic Operations Force will be underway, on the completion of a 'border sovereignty zone'.
We intend to maintain this 'controlled border' until we are certain that stability has returned to our neighbours in the East, at which point, we intend to demilitarise with all due rapidity.
Marianne Sandrine asks that Likatonian peace and sovereignty be maintained. We do not wish to be involved in quelling Hostile Actions on our frontiers.
Marianne Sandrine, Head of the Anarch Anakrousite Shatter, First Advocate of the Likatonian Senate, and representative of the Likatonian Government, thanks all parties for their kind attention.Signed, the Government of the Republic of Likatonia
