Shortly after a meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff (Ministers of Departments) and the leaders of the various political parties within the Shazbotdom Imperial Parliament, the Supreme Emperor made an official statement about the recent acts from the 'Skull Council' within The Armed Republic of McSavagania. In his latest televised news conference, Supreme Emperor Williams made it publicly known that the Empire will not tolerate these actions.
"With the tyranny from this 'Skull Council' within The Armed Republic of McSavagania, we here in the Shazbotdom Empire will not tolerate such actions. The Shazbotdom Empire is hereby officially placing Economic Sanctions against The Armed Republic of McSavagania. If this 'Skull Council' makes any attempts to harm Shazbotdom Interests abroad that have anything to do with our economic security, the Shazbotdom Empire will meet said actions with our own Naval Fleet."
After his short speech he opened up the floor to any questions. One reporter asked what would happen if full war was declared against the Empire by the 'Skull Council', the Supreme Emperor politely stated, "Well, then we will do whatever is within our power to wipe this 'Council' off of the face of the planet and restore stability to the region."
Another asked the question on if war is waged, how would that effect military operations by the Empire abroad, including the occupation in Delvira and the possibility of military help to our allies in New Chalcedon. He answers by stating, "with the size of the Shazbotdom Marine Corps, I am sure that we can add one more little skirmish in and still keep the economic safety and prosperity of Shazbotdom in check."
After answering a few more questions, he excused himself and left. Shortly after the news conference, information was obtained by this reporter that a draft of a resolution for military action against The Armed Republic of McSavagania is being drafted up in case that it is necessary and a conflict is on the horizon between the Shazbotdom Empire and The Armed Republic of McSavagania.
