Dear people's of Terra!
We find ourselves both amused and horrified with the less-than-intelligent declaration of the Luthori government. They clearly lack a sufficient up-to-date world view and a competent understanding of the circumstances surrounding the Gaduri-Malivian war. Malivia is a barbaric country with a primitive culture where the people live in squalor and the government condones slave trade. The Malivian savage chieftain and his government has committed various crimes towards Gaduri citizens and have not carried out their obligations towards the government of our allies the Gaduri. We should be thankful that a civilized people is showing such mercy towards savages and we would hope that a government that believes in strong immaterial values, such as the Luthori one, would realize this.
We are concerned about Luthori's membership in the International Monarchist League, a democratically questionable organization that has many times worked against the Alliance of Terran Republics. The organization for instance, recognizes the "caliphs" of a made-up country called "Barmenistan" as legitimate, thereby at least indirectly supporting the islamist terrorists that haunted our Dear Feline Homeland and threatened us with a cultural genocide some decades ago. The IML also recognizes another made-up country, "Pontesi" and even recognizes the non-existant Belknap family as it's rulers. If the IML wanted to support the illegal fascist rebel ringleaders in the so-called "Pontesi Hegemony" and not the Union of Imperial Crusader Kingdoms, the legal government in Selucian Pontesi, they could at least recognize Aloysius II M. Mederagaar as hereditary "director-general", the only reason for why he currently only named "regent" is because the two fascist parties haven't been able to reach a compromise after their destruction of the Union, as one party of fascists wants to create Empire instead of a Hegemony. We can all see how mentally defective the minds of herediarists must be when they first start a bloody war against their own people to recreate a fairytale kingdom, and then cannot agree on how to do it. Regardless, we hope that the Luthori Empire distances themselves from these imbeciles and join the ATR after implementing democratic reforms in their country. If the Luthori government has such intentions, we recommend abolishing the position of head of government to create a more efficient and stable leadership.
While we do not question a nation's right to name their head of state as monarch and honour him or her as such, if deeply rooted in the nation's culture and a valuable asset to internal stability and patriotism, we would recommend the Luthori to introduce the brilliant Selucian system of elective monarchy, as hereditary rule can become a dangerous disturbance to democracy because of it's way of succession for the Head of State. If Luthori wants to show it's competence and it's care for freedom and democracy, they should do this, as well as stop interfering with other countries internal affairs.
With deepest respect and prayers for more competence on Luthori's behalf,
Thiria Xarfaxis,
Foreign Minister, Feline Homeland of BarmeniaSigned,
