Balder is currently undergoing a period of restructuring, brought about by the drag created by the Riksdag (legislature) and the mutual agreement that it needed to be rebuilt based upon this premise. Thus, Balder will be back to full force soon and with a brand new ideology based upon her regional values. In particular this includes but isn't limited to; civil liberties, individualism, the limited use of force in maintaining order and personal improvement. Balder has always been about strong community and rarely has force or negativity been used against her citizens. Rather it has always been our belief that a positive outlook and mutual understanding will always lead to an ordered society. It is our hope to continue to progress and do our part for the world particularly through our writings, global newspaper and world bank.
Our government remembers when the Peoples Republic of Lazarus was born amid purges and created by the NPO with the tacit agreement of members of the FRA. Balder was one of very few regions where our leadership publicly criticized this and this resulted in the PRL ending Lazarene ties with Balder. The continuation of anti-independence and imperialism within the PRL due to the presence of extremists such as Funkadelia would lead to the Osiris-Lazarus War. Despite all of this, Balder approached the PRL with the question of aid however, this prospective question was refused by Funkadelia.
Balder sees no reason to embroil itself in a war, particularly when the PRL has consistently been a thorn in the side of Independence. They rejected the ideology and committed multiple acts against it, calling it false and attempting to sabotage it where they could. In our eyes, the PRL is not a legitimate government and has never been. We also do not the understand the altruistic need to intervene if we did not intervene to prevent the creation of the PRL. The PRL had many opportunities to legitimize itself and Balder and other allies were always willing to create ties should the PRL become less extremist.
Thus, despite a great surplus in WAs, Balder sees no altruistic reason to intervene for the FRA and other defenders who had supported the creation of the PRL as a second FRA state in the GCRs.
Yours Truly,
