Statement: Re Floria

Relations with the Florian Republic

Earlier today, I was approached by President Adam Cooke to discuss Florian–Shirerithian relations. He made a request for increased security cooperation with the Imperial Republic, requesting "at least 100 police officers to aid reducing hate crime in Floria".

Race relations in the Imperial Republic are handled with utmost respect and dignity. The Shirerithian police is well known all over the world for its sensitivity and care towards the people. As such it is our pleasure to offer 100 Imperial Marshals to the Florian Republic for a term of 5 years. They would come with a support group of at least 1,200 Auxiliaries plus a squadron of Jackalopes with 120 personnel from the Imperial Army's Lancer Corps.

Furthermore, through the Imperial Embassy in Zalae, there have been authorized communications with the Jingdaoese embassy under the auspices of the Treaty of Peace with the Florian Republic. Despite not being able to agree on pertinent topics such as animal welfare, the resolution of the war between us, we are in agreement that it is only fair to end the sovereignty-restricting regime over the Florian Republic. Discussions are underway to find a way to do so in the very short future.

The Imperial Republic is grateful for its continuous friendship with the Florian Republic and the Florian people. Even though our two countries have separated from one another, the fond memories bring us together, allowing us both to share and care for one another.
