RESPONSE TO ACHKAERIN NAVAL OPERATION
With the nation of Hassfurt having the longest Illumic coastline we have concerns over the proposed operation by Achkaerin over Zimalian shipping. The Diarchy recently held talk with East Moreland where one concern was that outside interests in the Illumic are permitted to be too powerful, first the USR, then Rokkenjima. The Illumic is a waterway that in more modern days the seas have been adequatley protected. We have been impressed with the East Moreland and Seaforth action in the past on piracy and in our recent talks with King David of East Moreland committed ourselves to begin taking active roles in such operation.
With no communication with ourselves and to our knowledge any Illumic nation the Empire of Achkaerin now state they will stop ships heading to Zimalia for the sole reason that of their heading. We believe this is unethical and shows a lack of respect for the Illumic nations. The navy of Hassfurt shall support Zimalia in the need for keeping its shipping free moving unless we are shown good cause to permit otherwise.
