A new island nation has just been discovered to the south-east of the Gayest Kingdom. Little is known about it at the present time as the spies and agents of other nations have only just managed to breach the 'Sea-Wall' (that grey circle around my island) and behold the island itself. Those spies managed to report back to their respective nations before being shot repeatedly without warning by the Guardians, the class responsible for keeping the Republic safe and marching to war should the Republic ever find the need to. They reported two other classes before they died: the Workers, who are the average citizen, and the Rulers, a group of elite Philosopher Kings, who rule the island and guide it in accordance to their wisdom.
The Sea Wall is a great wall of concrete and steel that stretches around the entire island and sports some of the most formidable air defences in existence, seeing as they are the based directly off the Form, the essence, of air defences and are therefore nearly perfect in their design, though they are not the Form of air defences merely the closest one can make an air defence to the Form of air defence. The wall is surrounded by heavy-duty mines capable of sinking battleships and dreadnoughts. The Republic has since placed radio beacons in a line a mile ahead of the mine field requesting all ships to turn and follow the beacons on a safe course round the island or risk annihilation.
The Republicans have sent ambassadors to the Gayest Kingdom to attempt to end the civil war peacefully. They deliver the following letter to both Andrew and Martin.
"Fools, the two of you are, for you in your disregard for your own constitution and social contracts have started civil war. You have split your own nation and destroyed your lives and families in civil war. You have forgotten the words of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. We request that Martin honour your constitution or a state of absolute war will exist between the Republic and the forces of Martin until such a time that he decides to honour his own constitution or seek a referendum to change the constitution so he may be the legitimate king of the Gayest Kingdom and his brother may not. We hope that this crisis is ended swiftly so that your nation will not completely collapse completely into a Hobbesian state of nature and that bellum omnium contra omnes (war of all against all) may be avoided. However if the constitution of the Gayest Kingdom has also been violated by Andrew then our forces will march against both parties unless they can form a new Constitution to allow one or both of them to legitimately become rulers of the Gayest Kingdom and it is ratified by a referendum."
Signed Plato, founder of the Republic and the first among the Philosopher Kings
