To our fellow OPEN members
In the past few days you will have seen that our nation has levied charges against Paracambi and The Commonwealth of the Unified Iwi over damages caused by allegations of us releasing the Bubonic Plague last year. This sees the Iwi left with a debt of $150million while Paracambi has a debt of $250million. In order to recoup this debt we recently seized a gas tanker and had payment not been received would have taken it as payment in goods. That tanker has however been attacked, the second attack on our nations industrial infastructure within the last year. I believe Royal Seleucid has so far shown incredible restraint in not retaliating to the full extent of our militaries capabilities. We have also seen nations send naval assets to sit near our coast as a result despite our nation not violating another nations sovereign territory.
With this is in mind I would like to ask the membership of OPEN to refuse sales of oil and gas to the Commonwealth of the Unified Iwi until such a time as they have cleared their debt, paid for the repairs needed thanks to these attacks and paid compensation for the deaths caused in my nation. It is my hope that by bringing non-military action to bare on the Maori I can avoid further bloodshed. I therefore hope you will support me in that endeavour.
Best regards
King Heydar of Royal Seleucid.
