**GetSkinny, by the Grace of God, of the Principality of Gabon, Queen, Protector of the Realm.**

To Sir My Brother the King of the Kingdom of Alpoko, <@201019737147310080>
To My friend the Chancellor of the Kingdom of Alpoko, <@129461733591875584>

GREETING.
​
We, as the Queen of Our Principality of Gabon, must express our utmost concern with the actions of you both on behalf of the Kingdom of Alpoko.

You have approached Us, Our Lord High Chancellor and Our good and trusty friend the Honourable the Prime Minister of the Republic of Bloom, Our closest neighbour and ally, with a vision We and Our neighbours closely share for the region in which We and they reside. These discussions with you were, as stated by you, to establish a greater trade presence in the region. You stated to Our Lord High Chancellor that you sought, upon reinstatement of your government, to “form a more trade-oriented and diplomatic government”.

You have approached Us and Our Lord High Chancellor with land claims that were originally established from over three-hundred and sixty-five days ago, which have since been abandoned by you and your peoples, and, at the outset, sought to receive cession from Us and Our peoples of fifty per cent of Our territory’s main island.
​
You have approached Us and Our Lord High Chancellor and Our good and trusty friend the Honourable the Prime Minister of the Republic of Bloom, Our closest neighbour and ally, with the offer to enter an economic alliance through, inter alia, “establishing a common marketplace”. This would form part of your “more trade-oriented and diplomatic government”.

You have, in the process of your artifice and constant changing of mind, disrupted the calm and peaceful nature of the region.

We and Our Lord High Chancellor have conducted with you, under the pretence and impression of a trade-oriented and diplomatic neighbour, with an eye to boosting Our economy and yours, land discussions relating to cession of particular lands within Our territory.
​
We and Our Lord High Chancellor have discussed with you, under the pretence and impression of you being capable of following through with your own propositions, the creation of an economic alliance. We did not expect to be negotiating with you on offers you were not capable of performing. This is, to Us, a clear act of bad faith on your part.

Our good and trusty friend the Honourable the Prime Minister of the Republic of Bloom ceded unto your possession a sizeable portion of an island in the south of Our region in good faith with, what We believe to be, hopes that you would, as you stated, conduct your plans and alliance discussions in a fair manner. To follow through with the commitments you made to Us and Our good and trusty friend.

Our good and trusty friend the Duke of the Grand Duchy of Varkonia has informed Us that he and his government are concerned by your continued unauthorised presence in Our territory. Our good and trusty friend is concerned with your effective diplomatic outlook and the matter in which you have conducted yourself in your dealings.
​
We have spoken to Our allies and friends, home and abroad, about this situation as it stands and We cannot see a way through your disruption and your clear disregard for diplomacy. It is Our clear opinion that you have no care towards the benefit of the region, of Us or Our neighbours.

NOW KNOW YE, that for these reasons, We will not be authorising cession of Our territory to you, your government or your nation. To remove any doubt, you, your government and your peoples have no permission from Us or any of Our Privy Councillors to remain in or on Our territory.

GIVEN at Balmoral the 16th day of July, Two Thousand and Eighteen, in the First Year of Our Reign.

Your Good Sister.
Your Friend.

GETSKINNY R.
