In Talstadt today, there was outcry from the government about the formation of the new government of the former South Ryazanian people. Konig Samuel Gottlieb had this to say:
"My fellow Talmanner, I am deeply disturbed by this new government. Not just from a political level, but possibly on a personal level as well. I will admit to you that we have been tracking this William Schmidt for some time. He dissappeared about 2 and 1/2 months ago, and had been frantically looking for him. Why? Because we believe him to be the leader of a terrorist group. Not just any terrorist group, mind you, but a group of individuals that fought against Talstadt in it's civil war. And William Schmidt? We believe him to be a Wilhelm von Schiffmann, the very individual who, 10 years ago, attempted to take my life. He was a shrewd man, not stopping until he had what he wanted, and we thought we stopped him when the castle collapsed on him. But now evidence shows that this is likely our man, taking over a country with little resistance is hard to do, though we expect he had more than was found. So I urge every one of you, not just Talmanner, but all our friends across the continent and overseas to take caution against this new nation. That is all, no questions, please."
It was apparent to this reporter that the Konig was visibly disturbed by this occurence, and noted that his eyes had bags, evidence of lack of sleep. The government of Talstadt has declared this topic top priority and has vowed to investigate.
