"Arctica hopes that the new military base in Alert will strengthen regional security in a way that will not interfere with Arctican operations on the Northern Lights territory in the Arctic region, and that our Submarine Cargo Vessels will continue to be allowed passage through your waters as they historically have with countries such as Disparu and Cyneriice Northan."

[Aggressivenutmeg]

"Of cause, we will not interfere with civilian cargo ships/submarines"

"Arctican SCV's traveling to and from Northern Lights may carry materials of a martial nature, as the supply shipments support a contingent of troops, along with one of Arctica's largest R&D centers. However, all hazardous cargo is properly secured."

After weeks of debate, a referendum has been announced, on reforming the current political structure to remove the slow and bureaucratic process of national direct democracy.
