I am deeply regretful that we were not able to reach immediate agreement, however I will now clarify several things which you believe to be prominent points.
Firstly, the Church of the Black Flame is the religion of our home, and of our citizenry. It is a large part of our national identity and of our culture, and it drives almost every single good Caradian worker, soldier, and leader. I can assure you that there will be no espionage elements to enter Alduria, as the Church itself does not consitute espionage. We do not wish any harm or even to exert any control upon the Aldurians, but we must inform you that if our religion would be a reason for disallowing communications, we must cease contact as we will not change our identity for the sake of diplomacy.
Secondly, our naval bases in Porto Vormouna and our military alliance with the Ciric Confederacy do not constitute a threat to Eura; the purposes of the navy of the Union Australis is the protection of our interests, and the interior land of Eura serves little interest to our nation. Caradia vows not to instigate war upon any nation of Eura. That being said, our navy is a strong tradition of our nation and, through a strong military industry, has become incidentally large. The purposes of our naval stations in Eura are merely for the protection of our shipping lanes, as is the Southern Control Zone. Every ship outside of our territorial waters only serves the purpose of guarding against the piracy we unfortunately find ourselves living in the same world as. In the same vein, Project: Burning Skies is a response to the prowess that foreign nations have held over Caradia in terms of long-range warfare, some products of this superiority being very concerning, and which have made aggressive maneuvers in the past. We must allow ourselves access to a defence network capable of competing with foreign entities or risk ourselves being left at their mercy.
Third, it should be noted that the dissipation of Hurricane Zyklos was undertaken entirely by Ciric personnel within the Southern Meteorological Service, but I will be sure to convey Alduria's concerns on the matter. I am not educated in the particulars of the confederates' technology, but I have been informed that they have developed weather modification methods that are roughly seventy-five percent accurate. We will attempt to refrain from weather modification in Eura, but we cannot unfortunately promise that we will never engage in the practice again, in case of disaser and extreme danger to our citizens. We can promise that the technology will only be used as a last resort, but again, it must be considered an option in case of a cataclysm.
As to the accusation that we are "playing god" with Eura, that we must completely disavow. The interior land of Eura holds no value to us, as we only constructed Porto Vormouna for the purposes of establishing a port city outside of the ice pack that our island is within, which prevents foreign nations from reciprocating trade due to the internation lack of icebreakers, in general. We have no intention to expand any more into Eura. The continent's purpose to us has been served, and as such the land outside our port is no longer a concern of ours.
We hope we can assuage Alduria's concerns. We do not consider Alduria an enemy, and we wish only to engage in positive relationships.
