Worries Abroad

One hopes beyond all hope that when planning for the safety of ones own people that they need worry only about enemies abroad. That those nations close to home are indeed the friends they make themselves out to be. that you need not worry about their internal affairs or members of your population currently within their boarders. Unfortunately the recent events in Spartanistan have brought a great amount of unease to members of neighboring Toketi. Rumors of death squads and mass executions have begun to run rampant. Our Yashere Demon of the North who was in Spartanistan at the time in question has refused to comment on the situation; however he has ordered an increase in military alertness and the early activation of a torpedo buoy picket line near the realms major costal cities. From what I have been able to ascertain there has yet to be a deployment of any significant amount of military personnel but things can evolve rapidly.

There are further rumors that the entire Spartani population has picked up and left. Both Ships and planes have been reported to have been seen leaving the island nation.

The situation is further complicated by the recent assimilation of the Spartani islands by Ostshon, Yashere Sir Gerk. Surely if the claims of mass murder were true then a treaty offering safe haven such as this would not exist. Perhaps Sir Gerk either doesn’t know what is going on in Spartanistan or understands that the situation is not as it is rumored to be.

This reporter knows that he is indeed disheartened by the recent rumors, but still hopes for the whole situation to merely be getting blown out of proportion. But if things are as bad as they appear I trust that our leaders will quickly get the situation under control and take the necessary action to get us past these hard times.
