To: Kingdom of Bretonia Government -|- Subj: Violation of Treaty of Snowdown

[The Kingdom of Bretonia]

To: Mister Hans Averbach-Schmitz

The Bretonian Government accepts your credentials as legitimate and we thank you for providing them.

We feel the need to point out sir that the topic of Aland was indeed raised with the IMG at the time of the peace treaty. While the IMG proposed the return of Aland Shipyard, this government rejected this proposal. In the words of her Grace The Duchess of Westminster:

As with expanded mining rights in Dublin, the return of Aland under these conditions was promised in exchange for the guild's cooperation. As it is, we will not be returning Aland now or at any point in the foreseeable future

This rejection was sent on the 27th of the 11th 825 A.S at 03:48 in the afternoon. Four hours later at 7:42 in the evening the IMG replied with an acceptance of our rejection and their signature, which was added to the peace treaty, thus concluding the Aland Crisis (For your information.

Allow us then to offer our most sincere apologies for failing to keep the Rheinland Government informed of the terms of the peace treaty. Likely a bureaucratic error on our part, yet all the same, on behalf of Her Majesties Government, I apologize.

However, two things must be observed:
Firstly, The Omega treaty did not take into account the possibility of war between two or more groups outlined in the treaty (and therefore, did not render the act of war illegal)

Secondly, Nothing in the treaty expressly outlawed the seizure of a station in the event of a war.

Mister Averbach-Schmitz, Bretonia does not believe that the matter we speak of requires any type of military intervention considering two parties have made peace with the current situation. Should Rheinland begin to venture into Nottingham, then the situation will be such that the Armed Forces will be required to escort your men to the border.

In service to the Crown,

Alexander East
Secretary to the Cabinet
