The Strait of Shaw Tarrif Modifier (SSTM) was introduced to help support trade with some of the lesser developed nations on Mundus. We however see that this has already seen Heyra attempt to circumvent this gesture of goodwill. The SSTM will under no circumstances be used by a nation which so readily purchases land across Mundus and so readily purchases military hardware of the highest standard on fairly regular occasions. Furthermore they are a nation that has within a short time period established what is likely to be Mundus' largest fertility programmes and is home to so many luxury cars. Had the Heyran government wished trade compromises then they had merely to try and begin diplomatic talks rather than seek to piggy back on the shoulders of our goodwill towards nations not as financially blessed as them.

The Empire of Aosta views the conflict in Merina as one that needs to be brought to an end swiftly.

As such we believe all those engaged in the civil war should be brought to the table swiftly and we applaud the Council of Albion for being able to do so. We further thank the various factions involved in the conflict for giving peace a chance and we wish it well. To those from outside the continent who view Albion as a way of bettering their own fortunes at the expense of Merinan blood we shall take a stand. As Tamora, Fleur, Solemani and potentially others seek to exploit the war for their own ends we shall not sit aside while this happens. Any military vessel from these nations attempting to enter our EEZ will be turned back as they do not meet the definition of "innocent passage". Any aircraft approaching our airspace will be treated with the appropriate international protocol and given an opportunity to halt its advance. Failure to comply will be seen as breaching the sovereignty of the Empire and will be meet with force if required.

The Empire, for  now, shall permit refugees to enter the Northern parts of the Empire, only if crossing at per-determined points which shall be established in the next 24 hours. Anyone entering via other means shall be ruled to have done so illegally and will be dealt with accordingly. Any combatant from any side or nation crossing our border will be considered an act of war and either dealt with as a spy in accordance with the Uppsala Convention[1] or taken as a Prisoner of War.

 1. A spy is defined as an individual who has used some manner of ruse to gain access to the territory of a hostile nation to gain intelligence or carry out acts of sabotage. A person can not be a spy if they are wearing their home nations military or militia uniforms.
