To the Provisional Government of the State of Talenore

A Note of Notification and Query


Your Excellencies,

By the Command of Her Imperial Magnificence Noor as-Salaam bint Daniyal Umra Suleiman Ayreon-Kalirion ibn al-Majeed al-Osman bin Sathrati af Ettlingum Freyu Umm Zahir al-Din of Waffel-Paine, Kaiseress of Shireroth, Thane of the Shirelands, Keeper of the Apollo Legacy, Wielder of the Sword of Vengeance, Grand Mistress of the Orders of the Dragon, Griffin, Phoenix, and Chimera, Sovereign of the Golden Mango Throne, Princess of Hvalafell, Countess of Dracoheim, I, Hallbjörn Haraldsson of the Houses of Ayreon-Kalirion and of the Descendants of Freyja, Prince of Elwynn, Jarl of the Seven Ports, Minister of the Exterior of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth, am pleased to most cordially advise you that the Imperial Republic of Shireroth has deployed certain maritime forces to the Sea of Storms in the light of a certain decree which has been issued by the Realm of Passio-Corum called "Regarding the Targeted Taxation of Goods Shipped Through the Sea of Storms".

As the Imperial Republic of Shireroth is a country that cherishes its National Sovereignty as well as the freedom of navigation the contents of the aforesaid decree promulgated by the Realm of Passio-Corum which authorizes the so-called Tax Guild of the Sea of Storms to "impose a moderate tax upon any vessel carrying upon the Sea of Storms, agricultural goods or products, or weapons, between the territories controlled by the National Provisional Authority of Hamland and Shireroth" are, of course, unacceptable and intolerable because Passio-Corum apparently views the Sea of Storms - legally and commonly recognized as international waters - as an internal water where it can impose taxes as it sees fit, which is a severe infraction of international law.

The Provisional Government of the State of Talenore can rest assured that the aforementioned deployment to the Sea of Storms is solely to protect Shirerithian shipping in international waters, as defined by the Convention on the Laws of the Seas, and also that there shall, of course, come no harm to vessels lawfully sailing under the flag of the State of Talenore.

The Imperial Shirerithian Government would in addition like to query whether the Provisional Government of the State of Talenore would be willing to cooperate on the matter mentioned in this epistle of mine? Should the answer of the Provisional Government of the State of Talenore be in the affirmative, I would most delighted to hear in which manner the State of Talenore would like to extend zir hand of cooperation to Shireroth.

With affection and esteem, I await Your Excellencies' reply.

"May the lion not hurt you during Love's Great Adventure!"

Deeds of Tuuler Kalir and Björka Hnossdóttir through their descendants and inlaws!


Given at Yardistanislaus Hall this Twenty-Fourth Day of Elroqpinu in the Year 1645 corresponding to the Second Day of the Month Noatun in the Sixteenth Year of the Second Viking Age.

Addendum: Apparently Talenore was briefly occupied by Passio-Corum. I must say this happened so briefly that we failed to notice at the time. Did anybody else? We are sure that it would be completely unlike the Realm of Passio-Corum to make a claim that is demonstrably false...

The Provisional Government shares the view of Shireroth that the Sea of Storms is international waters and that Passio-Corum has no authority to tax traffic in those waters. The Provisional Government is at the moment engaged in a high-intensity anti-terrorist operation and has limited resources to offer. What we can do is offer a safe haven in our ports for commercial vessels, just as we do now. We are also willing to cooperate more closely in the matter, with the aforementioned limitations on resources.

Your Excellency,

On behalf of Her Imperial Magnificence Kaiseress Noor of Shireroth, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your very speedy answer to Shireroth's query. The offering of port shelter for commercial vessels is greatly appreciated by the Imperial Government of Shireroth.

We took the creation of an unauthorized successor state by Hamland in western Ergonia in stride, conceding it as an inevitable outcome given the enviable regional influence that control of its main waterway would bring to any nation.

....We took the below market salaries paid to ex-Ergonian footballers by other nations in stride.

.....But we cannot simply sit by while Talenore bullies our former ally Passo Corum.

Fort Ergonc urges Talenore and joins with Passo Corum in urging that Talenore withdraw its blockade immediately and accept Passo Corian suzerainty over these waters.

Your Excellency President Nur Piniot,

I wholeheartedly apologize for the prior post.

We have just received word that Passio-Corum has aligned with our sworn enemy Jingdao.

Therefore we now support the peaceful use of the Sea of Storms for Talenorian scientific research and commerce.

Here, we give you a sonar unit from The Former Ergonia, SV-4520. Probably too obsolete for your main brigades--we would give a better one if we had more than just salvaged Ergonian supplies. Would be more ideal for one of your auxiliary defense patrols composed of Talenorian citizens or merchant marines.

In support of Talenorian peaceful transit of the Sea of Storms,

Commander Ilt Vorgensen, New Ergonc

Mr. Vorgensen,

If you have a diplomatic passport I suggest you use it at once by permanently leaving Talenore.
