The Holy See, has decided in light of the disruptions to world trade that the issue between Romnesia and the Papal States will lead to, and in the interests of world harmony, to apologise for the offenses mentioned by Romney that he has indicated were initiated against the mormon state by some diplomats and agents of the Holy See. The Papal States apologizes and claims responbility for the espionage actions taken against Romnesia last year, causing economic damage. It also apologises for the sending of a message to multiple nations by certain diplomats, encouraging certain nations to disrupt trade from Romney, and contest Romney's clients and influence. For these alleged offences caused to Romney, and for the discreditation and damage to his own reputation we apologise.
The Holy See in reparing relations obviously cannot grant you a list as you requested since no such list exists in our archives, however we can and do publically urge all states to refrain from hostile actions against the Romnesian regime and pursue peaceful relations between states and would sign a NAP between Romnesia and the Holy See in order to signify to the world our peaceful intent towards the Romneysphere. This peaceful intent between nations has been the constant foreign policy of the Holy See and shall remain so. We are furthermore also willing to pay 20g over five turns to Romney to compensate for his percieved losses presuming of course the embargoes against the Holy See are lifted by Romnesia, its clients, and its associated states.
"I, President Mitt Romney of the Republic of Romney, thank you for your confession. We were appalled that the Papacy would neither confirm nor deny the actions that they have taken against us, but now the Romnesians may have some closure. The recent economic downturn due to your espionage actions against us was crippling. If you are dedicating to patching this wound and righting your wrongs, then you have my full support.
We live in a world of limited resources. In the coming years we will not have land to continue expanding, and conflicts will surely rise.
Hope is not lost! I am working constantly, without any rest, to ensure the world will be safe place full of prosperity, cooperation, and trade.
I'm sure my allies stand with me in my position on keeping the world safe. I have worked hard to secure safety for my allies, my clients, and others that look to me for support and assistance. When someone wishes to take that away from me by accusing me of being 'greedy', 'power hungry', or 'selfish', it strikes me in the heart. I am nothing but a force of Good and Benevolence in the world, and I do my best to show that in all that I do.
We thank the Papacy for its confession on both accounts of hostilities, and we forgive them for their transgressions. We ask that 20 income be paid to Romensia immediately, in a lump sum, to account for the economic shortcomings of this turn. We would be happy to direct to you those who would loan you money if that is a problem.
I will be linking various messages that the Romneysphere Intelligence Agency picked up, so the Papacy may apologize to each one publicly and personally.
Thank you, and may the Pope continue forward following the path of honesty that he has begun today.
We lift all embargoes from the Papacy, and ask our allies to do the same."
I like food...
