Following this weekends Foreign Policy Forum, President Blanc fires a warning shot at the international community, saying 
“We will not accept foreign influence on our internal affairs. The facts on the ground are that Izaakia controls the historic regions of Montacia and Brodlancia and will continue to do so in perpetuity. No sanction, ruling or violent means will alter this fact. The fact is, we are the strongest economic and military power in the region and with this knowledge behind me I am offering the international community two pathways. The first pathway you may choose is to drop the case at the International Court and accept the borders of our new union in the interests of peace and prosperity, so we can work together on building a stronger and more sustainable future. Or the second pathway, where you choose to prosecute Izaakia and this will take us into a new era of instability in a new cold war, where the tinder of conflict builds up slowly until a match ignites our region in conflict. I hope you choose peace and prosperity.”
