Demanding allegiance [ATTN: Crotobaltislavonia]

[Kadikistani Union]

Background
Nearly one year after the 7 Days War the Kadikistani Union was still occupied by their own internal conflict. Societal schisms creating several internal factions within the Communist Workers' Party with radical differences on some fields, but also overlapping interests on others. The many complications of this becoming abundantly clear with the Second Northern Uprising which broke out during the weeks leading up to the last great war in Germania. These events had been keeping the eyes of Ivar strongly fixed on itself rather than the many global events taking place during the course of last year. The Union had turned inwards, neglecting its firm grip on nations such as Polesia, Calidia and Crotobaltislavonia. With the conflict in the Northern enclaves reaching a final stage and the relations between the Central Committee and the Northern Slavic strongholds thawing many within the higher echelons agreed that it was time to shift the focus back to were it always had been the past century, Germania.

Of all Germanian allies Crotobaltislavonia had been the most difficult to consolidate. To secure the Union's foothold in Crotobaltislavonia the massive nation had put itself on the brink of war with their former competitors from the now defunct Trier Concordat more than a few times. To keep the local Marxist-Leninovists in the saddle required countless interventions, both military and through other means. Not to mention the vast investments made through the

. This extensive economic recovery plan meant both to rebuild the nation and revitalize its economy while also integrating the latter into the economy of the Kadikistani Union in order to create a dependency. The list of Kadikistani initiatives towards the ever-turbulent Free Canton was a very long one, but on top of the list was no doubt the military confrontation with the former Grand Duchy of Burgundy in order to preserve the sovereignty of the relatively small land-locked nation.

The Union sacrificed labour and the blood of its sons and daughters to keep Crotobalitslavonia out of the hands of the West. Ivar was now forced to recognize that a year of internal conflicts had paved the way for the Slavonian leadership to show their gratitude by turning away from their long-time benefactor. Kadikistan had not forgotten the sacrifices it made and as long as Kadikistan still had troops in Crotobalislavonia it still had considerable leverage.

SUBJECT: Allegiance

Esteemed Comrade,

Recognizing the deviationist nature of both the internal and external policies of the Free Canton of Crotobaltislavonia. Recognizing joint military exercises held with Grand Duchy of Lars, the military contracts made with the People's Republic of Serenierre, the Slavonian minister pleading for an abandonment of the Kadiko-Slavonian relations, the active improvement of relations with belligerent Western nations and many other initiatives with the presumed purpose of creating a rift between both our fine nations.

We request an immediate explanation for thess decision-makings and seek clarity concerning the intentions of Banja Luka toward the Kadikistani Union.

Signed,

Marshal Moravscik,

It is good to hear from our friends in the east. We were growing concerned about you while we watched the Rurikgrad Pact seeming wither and die.

All of Crotobaltislavonia's decisions are of one purpose: to better our Motherland so that the Free Canton is safe and our people are prosperous. That is why we sought partnership with your great nation in the east and why we seek partnerships with nations on our other frontiers.

Of course, Crotobaltislavonia is willing to embrace it's oldest and more loyal ally. Your friendship and support has been a boon to the Motherland. We consider your military presence a cornerstone of our defense. Cutting ties with you would be a surefire mistake.

Let us come to an understanding on how best to proceed so that both of our countries can continue forward side-by-side towards each other's own best interests.

Sincerely,

Maximilian Jedreck
Minister of Foreign Affairs

TO: Maximalian Jedreck, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Free Canton of Crotobaltislavonia
SUBJECT: Allegiance

Esteemed Comrade,

While we value the complete independence of your great nation and in fact made great sacrifices to maintain it we fear Crotobaltislavonia is straying from the one true path. Openly anti-Union Parties such as the Twentish Party have been allowed to establish a foothold in the Free Canton and have been given an open forum to spread their malicious lies. A political organisation of any kind which questions the deeply-rooted ties between us is not only attacking our best interest, but also questions the fundaments of socialist solidarity. The Twentish Party and its goal to sell Crotobaltislavonia to the corrupt West has the destruction of our historic relations forged in blood and camaraderie at its core. By its deeds an policies the Twentish Party along with all other factions within Crotobaltislavonia that seek to undo our great bond have made themselves the enemy of the All-Union State. We hope that you will join in our efforts and not befoul the legacy of so many people.

We also strongly object to the seemingly careless diplomatic charm-offensive towards the West. The same West that threatened the sovereignty of the Free Canton for decades. Nations such as Gunnland and Lars can be moderate partners in terms of economics, but we urge caution as they care solemnly for their own greedy interests as they have proven so many times. The Union has been generous enough to warrant allegiance, our enemies can not say the same. We can not allow the great sacrifices of the Rurikgrad Pact have gone in vain.

The military contracts with nations outside of the Rurikgrad Pact and special partners are not acceptable as they are in clear defiance of our joint charter. The deviationist serazinists have betrayed the Marxist-Leninovist world once again and must be kept from spreading their poison into Germania. We urge you to cancel all military contracts with the People's Republic of Serenierre and offer a more efficient and cheaper supply. The Judicial Court of the Rurikgrad Pact will decide the monetary fine to be paid for this infringement also in accordance with our charter.

Signed,
Marshal Sergei Moravscik

GENERAL DISTRIBUTION
Office of the Prime Minister
Banja Luka

Marshal Moravscik,

I begin this letter to you by saying how heartened I am to read the words "complete indepedence." I bear them in mind as I correspond with you.

The Free Canton acknowledges the great sacrifices made on its behalf by the People's Federal Socialist Republics. I ask that the Republics acknowledge that my own people, the Yiddish of Crotobaltislavonia, have made great sacrifices of their own, at great cost of their lives, on behalf of your nation.

As Foreign Minister Jedreck stated in his note, the only true path for the Free Canton and its people are safefy and prosperity. I see Kadikistan, as well as all of Crotobaltislavonia's neighbors, as partners for the Free Canton's safety and properity. Your words of warning about all of our neighbors' motives do not fall on deaf ears. I shall be wary. And I shall trust that our neighbors police each other to ensure that their dealings are fair and that Crotobaltislavonia's complete independence is maintained.

As for Serenierre, our agreement to purchase warplanes from there is already close to being terminated.

Finally, I have consulted with the Foreign Ministry. They can find no record of the Free Canton of Crotobaltislavonia formally acceding to the Rurikgrad Pact. Our relationship with that organization seems to be purely honorary given our relationship with the Republics. Despite this, the Free Canton shall continue to allow a limited number of Kadikistani advisors, maintenance personnel, prepositioned equipment, and aircraft to be based on Crotobaltislavonian soil, a privilege we grant no other neighbor.

Marshal Moravscik, if you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

R. Sobel, MD
Prime Minister of Crotobaltislavonia
