The democratically elected government of The North Pacific finds the actions committed by Chodean Kal (Dalimbar) regrettable, deplorable, and alarming. We understand that our government is not perfect, however it does allow all citizens a great degree of representation. In our opinion, it is one of the most faithful implementations of democracy in NationStates. We are disappointed that Dalimbar has broken his oath of the region, ignored the Constitution, and, most importantly, violated the trust of this region's members.
Prior to his announcment, Dalimbar did not attempt to explore any of the legitimate avenues of change. Instead, he chose to attempt to overthrow the legitimate government of The North Pacific. Although we sympathise that he may have had the region's best interests at heart, we are forced to remind him that he is but one voice in a region of over four thousand. Dalimbar does the entire region--every single nation--a disservice by removing their only avenue for formal representation. It must be remembered that the Constitution that Dalimbar declared void was the same one that elevated him to his trusted office in the first place.
Although Dalimbar has provided no assurances that his new regime will not be dictatorial, we are still willing to, in good faith, meet Dalimbar and pledge not to pursue criminal charges now or ever regarding this crisis and the overthrow of the Constitution if satisfactory results are achieved. Nobody wants a civil war, but we will do everything in our power to bring a return to the fundamental principles of democracy and tolerance that The North Pacific stands for.
