Curristan Government response to the Imperial Union sanctions
"We the Curristan Government think the sanctions imposed on us by the Imperial Union are unacceptable, as they blame solely our ideology. We in turn will not be allowing Curristan goods into the Imperial Union. The Curristan economy which is still recovering from the war, will be hit by the sanctions. We do not import many goods, so we will have to rely on home grown food to support the population. The Imperial Union are warmongers, with no worry for the Curristan people. A government funded aid program will be set up to help the poorest families as we weather out this illegal blockade."
