IC: President Williams hears of the meeting between the Holy Barbarian Empire and Malulota. He is annoyed how once again Malulota is continuing to pester Volohk's ally the Holy Barbarian Empire for territory. About a week later he receives a phone call from one of Volohk's allies telling him about some sort of scheme Malulota has concocted to try and get territory out of the Holy Barbarian Empire as well as threaten Sovern.

The details of this scheme being that Malulota wanted to use Culof as a gateway to use Volohk against the Holy Barbarian Empire and Sovern.

The President is outraged that Malulota thinks it can use Volohk for such a stupid and petty thing. The outrage spreads across the nation as news of it is released to the public. President Williams makes a declaration in response:

"To the nation of Malulota.

Hunnack Orionus, Berukio Imperiuk, and Tritra may enjoy having your arm elbow deep in their ass so you can use and puppeteer them and steal their territory but you can't use Volohk. You cant use us!

We are tired of Malulota's pestering. That is why, unless the Holy Barbarian Empire desires to sell Malulota territory, Volohk will engage in military action against Malulota should it continue its pestering the Holy Barbarian Empire for territory.

To my fellow Barbarian nations. I would like to suggest joint military exercises between Culof, the Holy Barbarian Empire, Sovern, & Volohk in the interest of our joint defense from such annoyances.

I would also like to suggest the UNB Domestic Affairs Minister and the Holy Barbarian Empire establish a D.M.Z. along the Malulota-Holy Barbarian Empire border to put an end to these annoyances once and for all as well as to serve as a buffer zone between the two nations.

Lastly I suggest that the Holy Barbarian Empire join BITO to better insure its own defense.

Malulota needs to learn that territory does not make a nation great or powerful. History has shown us that the land hungry nations are usually in fact the weakest and remain that way so long as they let greed corrupt them. Be happy you have what you do and cease these annoyances once and for all. End your obvious scheming and "sneaking" around to get petty revenge against Sovern and the Holy Barbarian Empire. You're not good at it. Your trying to be subtle and make plots and conspiracies is like a bull in a china shop it's so painfully obvious. Besides that it's cowardly and dishonorable. Something I think a nation with your history should want to avoid. Plain and simple just grow up."

And with that President Williams steps down from the podium and the declaration broadcast ends.

His Holiness responds, "I find it that Malulota has a point. We've already agreed to wait on the matter, and he didn't retaliate on the idea. Through communication we can eventually trust each other, and agree to each other's terms. Using militancy as a way to safeguard our sovereignty won't do much for gaining each other's trust. Instead of distributing resources and soldiers from the major war to a sliver of land is pointless and a waste. I do appreciate that you mean well to protect us, but the idea on militarizing our peaceful border doesn't make me comfortable. I am responsible for protecting my Holy Realm, not other nations. I do not need to be handled with care, because if the time comes when I have to defend myself, I can handle it on my own. Relying on others just shows weakness, and I am not weak. There will be no DMZ of any kind, because the border was already agreed to be de-militarized. I frown on your ignorance, and maybe I should review your place in the Holy Land's affairs. If Volohk continues to instigate anymore tensions between the Holy Barbarian Empire and Malulota, than I am not sure we can continue to have faith in you."

"With Culof's involvement in this escalation, I must say that you should have came to me first on this matter. If Malulota has referenced me of any kind, or mention topics that involve the Holy Land; you should have brought this to me as it is my business, instead of leaving me in the dark. I may have to consider suspending the canal project until my neighbors can prove to me that they can communicate and resort to more peaceful measures. It wouldn't hurt my realm economically if the canal project were to mysterious cease to exist. If anything, it will save me the hassle on having to deal with belligerents. Much for conspiracies and paranoia. I must say you've all pissed me off!"

"In the meantime, I suggest you all learn from this matter and leave me the hell alone. I will ponder if I should continue the canal project, or even presume my business with foreigners. Good day to you all!"
