An Extension of The Queen-Empress' Statement in Council.
DULWICH, TUESDAY, 25th SEPTEMBER 1952
TO THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE REPUBLIC OF FRESCANIA, THE COVENANT OF CANTIGNIA, THE KINGDOM OF DANMARK, THE GRAND DUCHY OF POTENZA, THE DOMINION OF WEST MARCH, THE KINGDOM OF AGDERIKE, THE HIGH KINGDOM OF IVERNIA, THE KINGDOM OF EIFFELLAND, THE REPUBLIC OF JURZAN, AND THE MEZHIST UNION
I am instructed to EXPRESS on behalf of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty;
I am instructed to EXPRESS on behalf of her Imperial and Royal Engellexic Majesty;
Nations of Europe, I desire to lay before your governments the formal position of her Majesty’s Imperial Cabinet with regard to the Republic of Sylvania, which I have addressed to her Majesty’s representatives abroad.
The position of her Majesty’s Imperial Cabinet demands that the Sylvanian Armed Forces and Military Production Estates should be placed in a peace footing with the least possible delay, and that assurances should be given to the representatives of the governments I do indeed address this letter to in a course of a month from the date of the presentation of a letter undersigned by the nations of a Coalition of Europe.
It is, however, the desire of her Majesty the Queen-Empress that all nations of Europe should give all possible consideration towards the Republic of Sylvania, with the economic argument for such an armament expansion justified in the present upheavals around Europe; but there can be no wavering that a course of action will be a cause of serious instability and tensions in the immediate region and throughout Europe. Moreover, the Sylvanian and the other Occidentia nations’ armies would be left face to face with the constant probability of provocation of conflict. That state of things will become a very real danger to the peace and recovery of Europe which it has been the endeavour of the Empire of Great Engellex, by this action, to avoid.
Additionally I should like to point out that the interests of all nations addressed in this letter are various but quite important. First, there is that great interest which is always a paramount interest in the policy of all civilised nations – the maintenance of peace; next we have to remember the vast importance of acknowledging and acting upon a united judgement of Europe; that is, of Sylvania acting upon the decision of Europe to form a common position that reasonably objects to a policy of its government should that position be formed; and, thirdly, we will have the interests of Sylvania and Occidentia to consider. The interests of Sylvania are sufficiently obvious. No sane friend of Sylvania could wish that she should embark on course that may provoke a war with the great military powers of Europe, even if Sylvania had a good cause to fight for. But that is not the present position of that country. I cannot enough point out how unfortunate is the ground on which the Sylvanian government mediated this aggressive course. The interests of Occidentia are no less obvious. The nations of that continent did sufficiently sustain peace and stability during the darkest moments of European history, and while those very nations are bound to resist the Sylvanian aggression, the strain upon their politics and economies will be no less severe than actual conflict.
Her Majesty the Queen-Empress Charlotte has energetically alluded to the importance of upholding, what is called in Dulwich, the Concert of Europe, that which was brought about in Vesper earlier this year, in matters of this kind. Should it be so, the exertions of civilised Europe shall be crowned with success once again for the purpose of maintaining European peace and prosperity.
His Grace, the DUKE of NONSUCH,
By the Grace of GOD, of the EMPIRE of GREAT ENGELLEX, CHARLOTTE, the QUEEN-EMPRESS,
through the FIRST of LORD of ALDWYCH D'EVERCY
