Official Statement from the Imperial Government

The Empire of Tarusa finds the aggressive and bitterness of the Hanseatic States as a disheartening moment in these tense times. The Hanseatic States words show that while the Emperor has changed and the government has changed, that its aggressive and hostile views of the Empire and its associates has not been reduced. Yes, the Empire under a common united front during its civil war did in-fact launch an invasion against the Hanseatic States, the view of the Germanic states however is quite twisted. If it had not been for the combined Hansa, Federation, and Communal Order assault against the Gutarike state and the Communal Orders assault on the Serault Isthmus, the Empire would have not have found itself in a united front nor the Hanseatic States been invaded in a show of solidarity and to end the assault on the Kingdom of Csengia by western powers once more.
The Empire under Ivan could have carried out far greater destruction, it could well have wiped the Hanseatic League from the maps replacing them with various Germanic Kingdoms and banishing it to the history books, and he surely would have put the Post-Delegationist leadership to death. The leadership of the Hansa need to look to squash their rhetoric and behaviors before it continues to raise the tensions on the continent once more. The nations of the world are rallying behind the Empire as it stands to reform the world for the better, it appears unfortunately that plans that had been designed from the time of the Gothic Pact and the alliance will have to continue to be shelved as cooperation with the various Hanseatic politicians and political elite will continue on their ill crusade against the Empire and our Emperor Konstantin. These plans would have envisioned a continental pipeline for crude oil and natural gas from the fields of the Empire to the Meridian coast, providing a cheaper and reliable source of fuels for the nations of the continent over the alternative of shipping such products which increases times and costs.
