Regarding the Florida-Jacksonia Conflict
On behalf of PADA, Vinland will survey the Colorado watershed, determining present water needs and water uses. We shall prepare a report on the matter, and submit a proposal for the fair division of water rights between the two nations, to be ratified or rejected by the governments of Florida and Jacksonia.
Regarding military activities, Vinland does not believe that either Jacksonia or Florida is responsible for the actions of their private citizens militias. However, they are fully responsible for their armies. Thus, Florida has violated Jacksonian sovereignty by crossing the border to exert military force. While both nations armies are fully within their rights to protect their own lands, extraterritorial military activity is not acceptable.
Thus, we believe that Florida and Jacksonia have the right to defend their own lands against invading foreign militias, according to their own respective laws, but they do not have the right to pursue these militas across the border into the other's territory. We believe Florida should compensate Jacksonia for the damages caused by their military incursion.
It is our hope that an agreement can be made swiftly, so this potentially destabilizing event can be brought to a swift and mutually agreeable conclusion that will preserve and enrich the peace between your two sovereign nations in the future.

. Bioshock Infinite did cause some distraction Friday night and Saturday morning, but it was well worth it. Playing that game was a heck of a narrative experience, which has stuck very hard into my brain, and I’ll likely not forget any time soon. My wife also just recently became employed by the same agency as myself, and much of the last two weeks have been preparing for that. At best, I’ve managed 1 hour a day to work on the update. With the breakdown of time commitment I posted previously, you can probably infer exactly what the slowness is. Regardless, the update is being progressed upon, though it was also slowed artificially when I discovered a couple of glaring gaps in my tech development system, which had to be fixed.
