Region: ravana

"The Petruscciian accords" include these points:

III. TGI must apologize for not going through correct diplomatic channels, but, Nopengie must apologize for acting rudely and inciting further conflict between our two regions.

IV. Ravanian leadership must realize that LPT is not related to Lasagna and they further destabilized the region after a successful liberation by the LPM.

V. Both sides must recognize that this war ended in stalemate with no clear winner, due to the fact that LPT was not associated with Lasagna and thus the occupation did not affect Lasagna at all.

Number 3 appears worded well enough and the Dinnertime Peace Treaty includes a similar statement. HOWEVER Our honorable Nopengie has already faced disciplinary action for his failings. He has atoned whereas The grey isles remains uncensored by your government. But a sneakier falsehood waits within this clause. NOPENGIE DID NOT INCITE WAR. He made his idle threats but he was still only one MP whereas your entire regional government made an effort to provoke us. These things are not equivalent. "Acting Rudely" is not grounds for war.

Clauses Four and Five pretend LPT has no connection to Lasagna but their multiple failed raids to recapture it prove otherwise. I know your domestic propaganda likes to pretend nothing has happened but we in Ravana know better.

We have been nothing but victorious. Even the tag raid your people pretend they thwarted was executed as perfectly as we intended. You only have propaganda. We have results.

But what about "justice" you claim to seek? Only one clause in your treaty deals with apologies and reparations. The rest is dedicated to defending your ego by claiming "stalemate."

Our own treaty drafted by his holiness The Pontifex Maximus assures them a greater justness than their own. We have offered both our formal conciliatory graces AND the return of the region Lasagna Part Two. They have refused this treaty so far - I suspect - because they are too prideful to admit defeat.

I call on my fellow Parliamentarians,
Qavania. Abanthia. Nopengie. Phyrexon. Retition.

I reject the Petrusciian Accords unilaterally and embrace the Dinnertime Peace Treaty with full embrace! Join me!

And join me citizens of Ravana! I am too bitterly jaded from the battlefield. Beg the Lasagnians with utter mercy and kind heartedness to accept our treaty. Show them the genuine affection of a victorious people who are not spoiled sports but can accept winning with grace and nobility. Ask them not to hurt their region through further vainglorious fighting but to accept the defeat they have earned and learn from their mistakes.

I hereby condemn the Petrusciian Accords. The Dinnertime Peace Treaty has my full backing.

No progress, no salvation
