PRESS RELEASE
OFFICE OF THE CONSUL --

While our team goes over a more-or-less official refutation to the factually errant publication by Emperor Jonathan I of Austenasia, itself a response to an article by the Bannerman, I would like to update the people of Delvera and our allies:

1. We have increased our offers of support and aid to Austenasia, including financially.

2. We have renewed our offer from previous weeks for a formal state meeting. Still no response.

3. We are investigating what is apparently a breakdown in governmental structure of Austenasia.

4. We note a consistent narrative of personal schedules taking precedence over matters of intermicronational relations in Austenasia.

5. Emperor Jonathan took the time to request I personally take down the Lavrada Bannerman's article on the situation, which it is neither in my purview nor best judgement to do. The Bannerman is a private media company, not a state-run enterprise. The people have the right to speak and to hear the news.

6. Subsequently, the state-run Austenasian Times has published a "response in kind" directed personally at myself, the Consul, ignoring the leaders of other nations and private citizens who have expressed concerns at his conduct.
​
Our refutation of the claims in the Austenasian Times, which we believe to have been written by the Emperor himself, will be forthcoming.
