This press message was released by the Government of the Federation of Zardugal.
In these dark times of crisis and conflict, I will keep my words brief.
We are not a nation that believes in war or aggression, but world events have forced our hand. Badara has invaded our ally, Kafuristan. Therefore, in compliance with our treaty obligations with Kafuristan, I, as President of Zarudgal, under the authority vested in me by the Congress of the Federation of Zardugal, must make this statement with a heavy heart:
A state of war now exists between Zardugal and Badara.
All the freedom-loving and peace-loving peoples in the world must now unite under the banner of liberty to combat the forces of evil and aggression. We will not surrender as long as there is an enemy that seeks to destroy the liberties that we enjoy.Signed,
the Government of the Federation of Zardugal
