This press message was released by the Government of the Grand Empire of Lourenne.
Nations of Terra,
My nation, Lourenne is currently going through a transition; one which has sought to eliminate the monarchy and i's dictatorship of nobles over the people of Lourenne. In a few short months, La Républque Populaire de Lourenne (People's Republic of Lourenne) will be officially recognized by the national legislature, another step towards eliminating the oppression of my people.
Throughout this transition phase, we have received ultimatums to ratify the Tributary System of the Celestial Empire of Great Indrala. Of course, we have refused, we did not work tirelessly towards eliminating one imperial emperor to bow to another.
The Celestial Empire of Great Indrala has put a bill before its legislature to mobilize its troops and surround Lourenne's territory. We have taken a firm stand that we will not submit to these imperialists. Any violation of our sovereignty is unacceptable. We call on the nations of Terra to condemn this act of aggression by the Indralan imperialists.
Sincerely,
Marie-Éve LaPorte
Chancelier du Conseil Populaire
République Populaire de LourenneSigned,
the Government of the Grand Empire of Lourenne
