Public Statement:

The Tiburan Empire's continued use of its official name is not a signal of our designs upon any sovereign territory of any other nation. It is merely a natural result of our State's continuity as the lawful Tiburan State, which, despite the loss of significant territories, including Tibur itself, through the centuries, never ceased to legally exist.

Tiburia respects the territorial integrity of all states in accordance with international law and has no active designs on the lawful territory of other states. After all, Tibur ceased being the capital of the Empire long before the Empire lost control of Tibur.

Signed,

Theophrastos Phokas
Secretary of the Exterior
Senator ex officio​

COMMONWEALTH READY TO SUPPORT PEOPLE LEAVING RIO DE ORO FOR EBRIA

The Commonwealth is ready to provide layover and transit facilities for those seeking to depart Rio de Oro for Ebria, with Remurian military and civilian facilities being among the closest Meridian Union assets to the troubled region, which includes airports, military airfields and seaports.

However, the Commonwealth has at this stage advised that it would not be sending out any naval elements to facilitate the evacuation. The number of officially registered Remurian and Retalian expats in the territory is considered manageable by the Commonwealth Government and they have been recommended to evacuate via available commerial means, including regular air and naval routes, as well as through the facilitation of assistance and security companies booking chartered flights and ships out of the territory.

Should such not be sufficient, the Commonwealth will consider a mission by the Commonwealth Navy to facilitate an evacuation of those wishing to depart.

COMMONWEALTH HAS NO COG IN FRESCANIA FIGHT

The Commonwealth shall maintain neutrality and uninvolvement in the escalation between Tianlong and Angliarique ovet the latter's chaotic antics around Frescania. The Commonwealth has never been a member of the European Forum and shall most definetely not be joining any time soon.

Analysts still debate whether the Tianese reaction was appropriate, yet many Remurians remember when Angliarique nearly sailed their entire Armada to the Commonwealth over a stray dog found in a port, the stray dog later disproven as the Angliarique's monarch's pet dog, rather an animal that looked very much alike. And many do agree that the Commonwealth would have engaged and sunk the museum armada as well, had Angliarique not admitted to a slight overzeal on their part and stood down. In the Commonwealth's case, everything was resolved amicably.

Most Remurians are somewhat unimpressed with the Tianese action, though, and many indicate that the whole political and diplomatic drama around the whole Frescanian affair was far more entertaining than images of ships of the line on fire off the shoulder of Frescania.

Surely enough, some other politically diplomatic drama will arise sooner than later.

REMURIAN CHURCH TO HOLD PRAYERS FOR TARUSA UPON THE CORONATION OF EMPEROR CONSTANTINE

The Metropolitan Alessandro of Aurelia, Hierarch of the Remuro-Retalian Church, has confirmed that prayers and vigils shall be served across the Commonwealth to celebrate the advent of Emperor Constantine to the Tarusan throne and, as the Remurian Church hopes, peace and calm across Tarusa. The Remuro-Retalian Church is the Commonwealth's autocephalous orthodox denomination, which is followed by a majority of the Commonwealth's population and considers itself in ecclesiastical communion with the churches in Pelasgia and Tarusa.

Unlike these churches, however, the Commonwealth does not have its own Patriarch, as the Remuro-Retalian Church considers itself within the canonical jurisdiction of the Patriarchal See of Tibur, which is "temporarily in Schism" until the "Patriarch of Tibur", whom the rest of the world knows as the Tiburan Catholic Pope, renounces "the error of his ways and returns to the light of the True Church". Still hasn't happened after more than 500 years of waiting, but no rush, can wait, we got time, until then the temporary administration is doing just fine.

The Commonwealth Government has advised that ecclesiastical matters are fully within the remit of the Church, regardless of how impressed or unimpressed official Augusta might be at any given point in time.

FRESCANIA RISKS BECOMING A FREE FOR ALL IN A BATTLE ROYALE IF THINGS GO AS THEY ARE

The Commonwealth has expressed an official concern around Frescania risking becoming a free for all as all actors from every corner of the world are acting in an uncoordinated manner.

The crisis, sparked by the kindergarten antics of Angliarique, led to the Tianese burning the whole kindergarten boat sortie down to the sea floor and Tarusa sending in boots on the ground on the island. Any respect for the neutrality of Frescania seems to be gone. The Commonwealth puts the lion's share of the blame upon Angliarique for upsetting a status quo that had endured through decades by unilaterally sending in much more than what any sensible person can claim as a diplomatic escort. The drop that spilled the vase came from the Tianese throwing a rock down from the top splashing water everywhere. And Tarusa seems to have just thrown the vase off a cliff like a cat.

All these metaphorical niceties aside, the Commonwealth has encouraged those active members of the European Forum that still stand to take matters in their hands, carry out immediate cleanup and recovery operations, and reimpose the respect for neutrality that is being spread thinly through the air at this moment.

Moreover, given the chaotic vagaries of foreign politics that go way beyond the usual acceptable median of craziness, the Commonwealth is seriously considering options to expand her military ties from complete isolation to bilateral or Meridian Union-led initiatives.

The Ebrian Crown is expected to be approached with initial ideas and outlines between the two current neutrally aligned states of the Meridian Union.
