Dear peoples of Terra!
You might have heard of the current fascist uprising in Pontesi. The opposition, representing 35% of the people, have risen up against the lawful government of the Crusader Union. They seek not to introduce any kind of democracy that we don't already have, nor do they seek to restore the House of Belknap. They seek to restore the Mederagaar family as hereditary Director-Generals of the Pontesi Hegemony.
The Hegemony was a quite dark and brutal place back in the times when it was a republican dictatorship under the M.A.R.C. The Crusade has introduced a democratic elective monarchy in it's place as well as pursed policies of social and environmental responsibility. We have legalized strikes, given the people free healthcare as well as regulated the killing of animals, banned animal testing and strictly regulated pollution. At the same time, in cooperation with our coalition partners, the Selucian Libertarian Party, many civil liberties reforms have been p. There is little doubt why the people of the Union prefer us to the old secularist-fascist order, and there are no reasons for why any civilized country, monarchy or republic, wouldn't prefer us to the terrorist fascist gangs seeking to harm our country.
Democracy in the Pontesi Realm needs the freedom-loving countries of the world. We thank the good people of Davsotan and our Selucian siblings for helping us, but more is needed. We ask the free peoples of the world to at least out diplomatic pressure on those who aid the fascist rebellion in the Union. Such actions must not go unanswered by the international community. After all, it's a people's freedom that's at stake.
Cum Deo Pro Pacis et Libertatem!
