Fort Urbs

It was several days until finally 97% of Capau citizens where arrested and transported to a fort outside of Porta Urbs. The Fort was crowed with illegal residents wanting to escape. Under New Solaris law on foreign affairs : any person who is not a citizen of New Solaris can not enter the country. If their country is recognize by New Solaris they are allowed to enter with the right documentation from both parties.

Since Capau has a new government New Solaris can not allow enter or deportation of residents of the Capau region. It was declared that the illegal residents to be hold until the new Government of the Capau region contacts New Solaris for release.

OOC: I am assuming that the Republic would learn of this from travellers et cetera; but since you've not sent me any official correspondence, I'm also assuming that you didn't specifically tell the Republic that you were arresting their citizens randomly, which contributes substantially to the pissedness of this message. xD Also, if you choose to address Antony by his title, the Republic would use the notation Mr./Ms. President.

Greetings, Your Excellency.

It has recently come to the attention of the Republic that the New Solarian police have begun a mass campaign of arrests, targeting Capuan nationals, in light of the recent Revolution and Counter-Revolution that our country has recently undertaken.

Though this Republic understands the security risks that your leadership sees in allowing these citizens to run wild, and understands the impracticality of attempting to negotiate with a nation in flux--a state we Capuans were doubtless in mere months ago--the Republic must protest very strongly against the choice that New Solaris has made in neglecting to inform this fledgling Republic of these citizens' plight (for, if you've been up on your reading as of late, recent declarations do in fact establish those persons concerned as citizens of this Republic). Indeed, we suggest that in the future, New Solaris take it upon itself to inform other countries as promptly as may be arranged in the event of matters as pressing as these.

We would ask for the immediate conveyance of these persons to the Republic, so that they may be made citizens as quickly as possible and be released from custody as quickly as possible. We would remind New Solaris that these citizens have, for the most part, committed no crime and that holding them continually would sour relations between our two countries. In the event of their quick and safe return, however, it is this office's aim that this incident may be overlooked and quickly forgotten, that our countries may continue business as usual as peaceful, sensible, mutually respectful neighbours.

Please inform my office as quickly as practicable as to New Solaris' decision on this important matter.

SIGNED,
Antony Lassale
PRESIDENT OF THE CAPUAN REPUBLIC

Dear President Antony Lassale

The release of Capuan nationals to Capuan Republic will be allowed. But in order for Capuan nationals to enter New Solaris both our countries must agree to New Solaris Immigration Laws of 1523.

• Both countries must recognize each other officialy
  
  
• Both countries must have one foreign Embassy in the capital
  
  
• Both countries must establish a immigration law to each other (Allowance to enter)
  
  
• Both countries must establish a passport system
  
  
• Both countries must have border stations in order for foreign immigration
  
  
• Both countries must have some sort of police extradition for criminals

Disagreement to our foreign affair law will not hold back the release of Capaun Nationals or effect New Solaris views on Capaun Republic.

We hope that you contact New Solaris once this letter is sent and read.

Sent Per Will of President Antony Lassale of the Capuan Republic;
To Be Recieved by Elite General Dark DeLuca of New Solaris.
Dated 20 March 1570.

Greetings, Your Excellency.

We are most relieved and impressed by your decision to release our citizens immediately and without incident. Your cooperation and levelheadedness will not soon be forgotten.

In Capua, it should be established that the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen establishes an essential right to free movement, meaning that Republican citizens would be legally entitled to leave for New Solaris at any time (though of course we would seriously discourage such actions on the part of our citizens if your government were for any reason unwilling to receive them) and foreigners, generally speaking, are permitted to enter regardless of their country of origin. In addition, though these systems are in their infancy, it should be noted that the Republic does in fact issue passports and is setting up border control systems with great success. Obviously, we recognize New Solaris as a legitimate state, and it is inferred that, through their communication with the Republic, New Solaris recognizes the Republic as a legitimate state. Three of the requirements on your list have been satisfied.

The Republic would welcome a New Solari embassy on Embassy Row within the Capital City. Construction could begin immediately. In exchange, of course, the Republic would ask that an embassy be allowed in Sperare Impero. Such steps are trivial.

Though the Republic does allow for its citizens to be extradited to other countries to face trial, it does so only after serious judicial consideration of the matter and only when the crimes the individual concerned is accused of are extremely serious (such as murder, rape, or slave trading, among others). Note also that the Republic does grant political amnesty to particular individuals in particular circumstances, and that these people would, naturally, be protected from extradition in cases pertaining to why they were given amnesty in the first place (or the nation from which they have fled).

Provided you accept these terms, there are no barriers to free movement of individuals between our two countries.

Antony Lassale
PRESIDENT OF THE CAPUAN REPUBLIC

The snow was starting to disappear in the capital city allowing people to use the outside roads. New Solaris Memorial Park was being guarded by the Royal Guards because Darko was going to speak out on the recent event of Capaun Nationals detainment. Millions of people gather around the park all watching Elite General Darko give his speech.

"Today the New Solaris Government will be releasing all of the Capaun Nations from Fort Urbs. Our Government and the Capuan Republic have been communicating for the past few days. I Elite General Darko DeLuca want to apologize to the Capauns who where locked up. As of today any Capauns Nationals in New Solaris will be able to renew their status and receive compensation for their time of detainment. Today New Solaris Government will officially declare Capaun Republic its existence. We will be changing the flag at Nations Park and declare today as Capaun Republic Day for now on".

When the speech ended Fort Urbs open its gates allowing the detainees to walk. Many of them gathered at the border station in Porta Urbs renewing their status and receive compensation for their time in Fort Urbs.

The Nations Park in the capital city was declared to be altered. They where going to take down the Kingdom Capuan flag down and hoist the Capaun Republic flag up. This was to signify that Capaun Republic is recognize by the New Solaris government.

With the minor celebrations taking place in the Capital this morning, Antony felt greatly pleased. There were a number of reasons for this. His people were free; traders and citizens of every stripe would be returning to the Republic to advance its success. The situation had been resolved, and it had been resolved quickly--and most importantly, it had been solved without bloodshed. As he took a swig of his whiskey, he couldn't help but think that there were longer-term repercussions to this also.

They'd been formally recognized by a regional power; they'd won legitimacy and a genuine diplomatic dispute. Confidence was high. Suddenly, it seemed as though the Republic could make a real difference in the world, and stand up for its proper place within it. And not only that, the President thought as he smiled--they'd know his name, too. The man that orchestrated it all, pulled it off without a hitch. Their President.

It was no longer good to be King.
