Her Excellency
Melody Grant
President of Anturar
Vostin


Dear Your Excellency:

Congratulations on your election as the new President of Anturar! The people have spoken and with them we are only right to celebrate this occasion of democracy's zenith: the election. As citizens of democratic societies, we must understand by now the gifts of freedom and liberty endowed upon us and we should cherish them at every given opportunity.

So I would like to take this opportunity to offer you two pieces of advice.

My first advice is to take a look at the past. Unlike other countries, we are fortunate to live in an equitable and accountable society where free and open elections regularly rotate the seat of power, shared among us citizens as equal sovereigns of the nation. Yet there are societies just like the ones we live in who made grave mistakes. Many of them suffer great loss and some barely survived the test of time. The multiplicity of the people's voice can sometimes deafen us. It hides the lurking forces that may threaten to destroy our way of life. You must stand strong, and if you stand together with your people, your country will be stronger in the brotherhood of free nations.

My second advice is to be cautious. Other countries may confuse the ideals we hold dear and, sometimes, they misunderstand and might never understand us because of it. Likewise, we would have done the same to them. In the face of uncertainty, we must try to look ahead and do our best for our people, especially in the great global maze that is international diplomacy. Guided by the common good and respect for all mankind, we must endeavor to understand the people and the world around us regardless if our opinions do not agree with them. We must live by our virtues of free speech, solidarity, and equality.

I wish the very best to you, Her Imperial Majesty Empress Anastasia, and the Anturarian people. I hope this first correspondence shall serve as the basis of a mutually-prosperous relationship.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Nifa Nakashad
Kanzler der Lawstoner Republik
