It is clear to me that The North Pacific has taken an unhealthy interest in the future and activities of The East Pacific. Flemingovia and Kharkistania both have taken an active part in the unendorsement campaigns against me, The Empress of The East Pacific, and both are members in high standing with The North Pacific. Neither have responded to overtures to cease their activities while I and members of the now defunct Confederacy attempt to meet on common ground. The opportunities they have been given have been either ignored or met with disdain and disrespect.
The Empire will no longer tolerate this encroachment upon our sovereignty and the disrespect shown to the Imperial Court. The actions of The North Pacific are distasteful, crude and unproductive. The actions of these members, and the disdain we were shown, will not go without response.
Gatesville has declared war on The North Pacific for the activities of The North Pacific's government against The Empire. They are our allies and close friends. They will not meet this enemy alone.
The Empire recognizes that a state of war now exists between The East Pacific and The North Pacific. All resources of The Empire shall be mobilized to help Gatesville remove the meddlesome pest that the government of The North Pacific has become.
Together, we shall clean them of their sins and show them the true path.
I command my Grand Dukes to prepare their souls and purify themselves for this Conquest. I command the Nobility to prepare a defense for the inevitable counterattack against the innocents of this region. I command my Legions and Shadows to gather and prepare for action.
Be strong of heart and mind. We stand in the light, and we will use the fire in our hearts to rid them of the darkness that has fallen over their region.
Keiga, guide our swords.
Keiga, watch over the soldiers.
Keiga, have mercy on our enemy.
Now, we go to war.
