OOC: No bad blood, Ravania. Just doin' my RP job.
IC: It was a peaceful day in the Checkerite capital city of Cesura. Chancellor Cody Vassar was working in the Circle Centre [note]Circle Centre = Checkers' White House (reference to Oval Office )[/note] when suddenly an aide ran up to him. "Sir," he said, "We've received a response from Scandigrad," and handed him an envelope bearing the TNP seal. Vassar had a good feeling pulsing through him as he slit the envelope, and read the enclosed mandate. As he read, the aide watched his expression turn darker...
The aide watched Vassar rip the paper in half. "How dare they?" he shouted. After some colorful swearing, he composed himself. No, he thought. I'm the Chancellor of this country. I'm going to handle this democratically and evenly and STRANGLE RAVANIA'S- no, no. Ok. How do I do this?
Three hours later, the President of the Assemblar stood and addressed the National Assembly. "Congressmen and congresswomen," she said, "The Chancellor would like to petition support for his latest Injunction." Vassar thanked the President and took the podium. "Congressman and congresswomen," he began. "Earlier today, our nation was dealt an insult. I received a letter from our friends of Scandigrad that we were being snubbed. That the mighty nation of Checkers may not receive their decent request of a few northern islands because Ravania interjected after us! Well I disagree! And I think YOU should disagree. And I am Injuncting, as is my power as Chancellor, that we declare war on Ravania until THEY disagree. Thank you." Breathing heavily, he left the podium and stormed out of the Assemblar, his aides and Executive Defence in hot pursuit.
An hour later, Chancellor Cody Vassar stood in the West Garden of the Circle Centre in front of many Centre Correspondents and press, amid many flashes of photographs and hushed voices of live broadcasts. When he felt the time was right, he signaled his Chief of the Press to quiet everyone down and began speaking. "Citizens of Checkers," he said, "I was furious this morning when I heard that our claim had been blocked by Ravania. But I am proud to say that I have taken action, and as of just a few minutes ago, the Assemblar has voted to take action on Ravania, and has declared war."

Letter:
TO: The Honorable Leader of Checkers
Dear Chancellor:
Your request for the islands has been noted. However, we regret that we may not allow you to take possession of them due to the fact that a similar request has been filed by Ravania. Therefore, neither of you shall receive them until one of you has withdrawn their request.
Sincerely,
Scandigrad
