“I am Imperator Vibius Leader of the Senatus the Military and Body of the Emperor on this earth. I speak today with my own will not with the will of the Immortal Imperium, but I am sure she supports what I say this day.
War has been declared on our nation, war that had no provocation, no talks, no hints at peace given before the attack. Men and Woman... Sons and Daughters of our great Empire were slaughtered with out warning or provocation by the Kingdom of Gaulasia. That vile nation had not declared any state of hostilities against us, and we had not towards them. They decided that peace was not a way for them, that war was the only course they would be willing to take and that is the path they walked.
What is worse is that they encourage a vast minority in those lands to take up arms as terrorists, turning the fine lands of that area into an anarchy to try and challenge Rataka for its waste. They wish to create a failed state, and destroy our great nation that has existed on this earth for over three thousand years since the Treaty of Unification signed by all the three great tribes that make our nation. We are all brothers and sisters, all people of the three tribes united under the great banner of Irnotia.
Yet this glorious thing that has existed for so long, this great nation that we live in has become the target of those jealous of our prosperity, of our strength and unity. So they have attacked us, like the wild dogs they are. Do not feel sorry for Gaulasia, they are being treated as what they are, aggressive warmongering dogs who want nothing more then to destroy and peace and stability in this world.
No... As the Imperator of this great nation... I will not let vile anarchists get the better of me. No... They will not get the glory of seeing a world of chaos murder and hate. They are not great hero's... they are just vermin trying to make all suffer as they feel that they should. To revolt in such manner when your nation is under attack, is to show how low you are. We tell you today that Irnotia will not bow to dogs and terrorists, we will stand and fight. We will hold those accountable for this to face their punishment.
I also stand here to say that any nation that gives support to Gaulasia is giving support to wanted Military aggression, Giving support to Vile Terrorists attack on innocences, Giving support to the complete and total destruction of any form of stability and peace in this world. And any nation that would support such vile things will be remembered as the beasts they are.”
