Though it pains me deeply to be forced to resort to war, the differences between King Hezekiah and myself are numerous and irreconcilable.
I would remind the international community that I am not a veteran player, and newer to the game than King Hezekiah. I did not take part in any negotiations concerning King Hezekiah and other parties, and am not bound to those outcomes.
At this time the naval and air forces of The Empire of Great Burckhalter are being mobilized off the coast of the New Israelite Nation.
I offer no terms, no quarter and no diplomacy. The time for such activities has long past.
I consider this a war between King Hezekiah and myself. I will not target or attack other players. Nor will I carry any other banner into this war besides my own. I will consider all other players as neutral, noncombatants.
Now with confidence in my armed forces - with the unbounding determination of my people - Great Burckhalter will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God.
Formally,
Okstate_Guy
President
The Empire of Great Burckhalter
