In a move reminiscent of the infamous Astonian Treaty signed by ChrisChrispie, SirFriendzone, Incentives, and ObtainableSpat on CivClassics in 2019, the rogue nation of Yodieland (a.k.a. Rhode Island, Rhodesia, etc.) has illegally killed and vorpalled the King of Astonia in neutral territory, supposedly due to the previous special military operation freeing now-former Astonian ally MAXIMILLANVS from the New Pompeii bunker last Wednesday. Notably, while she was working on behalf of the entire server to clean up water damage done to the coastlines near Derevnya Chastya by Max done yesterday.
Capri of Yodieland has declared, with no legitimacy besides that of the sword, that the Astonian state has fallen and is now under "Rhodesia Joint Military Control". Yodieland does not maintain any meaningful control over Astonian territory, and therefore this declaration must be viewed as akin to Hotspur's famous reply to Glendower in William Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1, when he states, "I can call spirits from the vasty deep," and Hotspur responds "Why, so can I, or so can any man; But will they come when you do call for them?"
We are open to offers of actual negotiation, rather than scurrilous dictats, from Rhodesian/Yodie authorities regarding release conditions.
Thank you for your time.
JAI ASTONIA
King and Emperor of Astonia,
MrJoCrafter (MirabeauLamar)
