It would be a pleasure to set up an embassy for you on Embassy row, one of the most picturesque waterfronts in Arcadia. Would you like it in the Setznan style, or a style native to your homeland? Setzna also accepts your proposed Diplomatic Recognition, Trade Agreement, and Open Visa Program.

Mister Karlson,
I take the responsibility of writing to you today to request that your nation, as a current member of the Coalition Security Council, participate in allowing Free Syllvin to officially resign it’s Coalition membership. The ongoing silence of the Coalition on the matter of the incursion and war the Daccic Republic are responsible for has become intolerable to the High Senate and much of our population. We are increasingly unable to make successful counterattacks thanks to mounting losses on the battlefield, and though we require military assistance, our “allies” in the Coalition have sent us next to nothing.
It is for this reason that the Conclave and the Island Assembly have voted unanimously to withdraw our membership in the Coalition. We will no longer consider ourselves a part of the alliance, and we wish for the Council to acknowledge this. The High Senate will stand by our decision regardless of what the Council decides, however, so I have personally written to you to notify your administration of the situation. Please make all best efforts to coordinate with the other Council nations so that we may all part amicably.

Bret Karlson
Secretary of State

Greetings,
I realized that I did not satisfactorily define what the extradition agreement would entail in my previous correspondence, and would like to remedy that. At its essentials, it would permit our two nations to officially request for the other nation to capture and return criminals that have taken up residence or are being harbored in that nation. Though refusal to do so would be an option in such an incident, it would most likely be considered a diplomatic insult by the nation which initially made the request.
Regards,
Fyodor Lyvov
Minister of Foreign Affairs
The Militarized Communist State of Stratarin
To: Bret Karlson, Secretary of State of the Republic of Setzna
Allow me to extend my personal greetings to you and your leader.
As you have most likely realized, the Urth will soon be plunged into war. Indeed, many of its occupants have embraced this, and readied accordingly. I would like to be assured that should Stratarin enter the fray, your nation will not be an enemy. For the Militarized Communist State of Stratarin has every intention of allying with the Axis powers. And, to state it plainly, I formally request that Setzna join us.
I understand your nation’s history with fascism, and I do not ask your leader to approve of the Greater Xagrurgian Empire’s ideology. I, myself, do not. I have personally chosen to come to the it and Ethalria’s aid because, while they accept my current position, most of the other nations of Urth have shunned me and falsely declared that my assumption of power was illegitimate.
Setzna is a pleasant exception from these nations. During the witch hunt conducted by the SEPC’s Security Council, and among the various national newspapers that have raised their foolish voices to condemn me, Setzna has not spoken against me. I appreciate this greatly.
I have no doubt that in supplying naval aid to the GXE, Ethalria, and their allies, Stratarin will run afoul with the Oan Isles. Given Setzna’s proximity, your aid in any encounter would be greatly appreciated. Should our forces win the day, the restrictions placed on us by the Oan maritime waters would no longer impede our movement of trade or military by way of the ocean. Furthermore, you would have the assurance that Setznan-Strataric relations should still run strongly.
I am aware that President Verlhan had strong ties to the former General Secretary and Premier, Viktor Drugov. Though I did what I felt I needed to, please extend my apologies to Verlhan should he feel slighted by anything I have said against Drugov.
Of course, should you inform any foreign power of the content of this message, any positive relations between our two nations would be doomed.
It is not an easy choice I have presented your nation with. I only hope that you will make the correct decision. Should you agree, the 2nd fleet will be dispatched shortly to rendezvous with your naval forces.
May our enemies be no match for the combined powers of Stratarin and Setzna.
From: Mikhail Starikov, Premier of the Militarized Communist State of Stratarin and General Secretary of the Strataric Communist Party
Official Communication of the Realm of The Oan Isles
To: The President and Cabinet of the Republic of Setzna
From: The Oan National Council
Subject: Our common commitment to democracy
We have always held Setzna in high regard, as a model of democracy that many countries would be wise to emulate. It is clear that Setzna is committed to democracy. Policy and political will go hand in hand to ensure that we live in a world where all people regardless of ethnicity, economic and social background or gender have the right to freedom, equality and the pursuit of happiness. We have no doubt that Setzna will be committed to democracy above all other political, economic or military considerations.
We live in a world where fascists and communists are perpetuating violence and authoritarianism. We need your help to stem the tide of these attacks. Democracy is not only an ideology: it is a national and international security and strategic interest, one that should be stressed at all times. We understand that Setzna is one of the noble countries that will stand for democracy FIRST.
With that in mind, we must address some matters regarding your neighbour to the north, Stratarin, a friend of ours as well. We understand that you share a strong social, economic and political bond, and it would be foolhardy to suggest that you break it. But truth be told, your friend is not innocent. We have reason to believe that Stratarin is a threat to democracy and to the civilised world, of which Setzna is a valued part.
You are in a special position, due to your long relationship with Stratarin, to exert influence on the Strataric government to help deal with and rein in the actions of the Starikov regime. Whereas many believe that Setzna is the passive partner of an unbalanced relationship with Stratarin (some having the audacity to call your glorious nation "South Stratarin), we believe that the Setznan people are free to choose their friendships and their own destiny without interference. We believe that the Setznan people are not under the yoke and in the shadow of Stratarin. You are beacon of hope.
The ACA and the SEPC look to your nation for strength: for the strength to fight fascism and jingoism in Xagrurg and Ethalria, and subdue the malevolence of Stratarin. Aid us in this noble task. Help us restore confidence in Stratarin and maintain peace in the Pacific and West Gondwana. We humbly ask you to persuade Starikov that his dictatorial actions must end and make him aware that his actions have consequences and that Setzna will not stand with a bully.

Premier of the Militarized Communist State of Stratarin and General Secretary of the Strataric Communist Party

I’m sure that either you or one of your associates reads the Coyden Harbinger or heard of Melor Dementyev’s story. The incidents surrounding him recently are the reason for this missive. All Strataric investigation points to him fleeing to Setzna. My nation respectfully requests the search for, capture, and extradition of the fugitive.

We apologize for not being able to satisfy the Strataric government’s needs. We also regret to inform you that Melor Dementyev has requested Asylum and has been granted it. Any action to retrieve him shall be observed as an act of aggression and unlawful, as the extradition treaty between our two nations has been dropped. We hope to further relations with Stratarin in the near future for the good of both of our nations, good day.

Very well. The Strataric embassy in Setzna is officially being withdrawn, and the previously suspended trade and military agreements are officially severed. The Setznan embassy in Stratarin has twenty-four hours to be completely withdrawn, or your ambassador and his staff will be forcibly and punctually removed.
Someday, our descendants may look back on this day and remember it as the end of South-West Gondwana’s stability. I urge you not to let the fate of a murderer be our nations’ undoing.
Sincerely,
