[Thunderer]

Selim,

As you can see, I have been elected as the new Prime Minister of Bretonia. Sadly, I have not been able to prevent the great outcry for abandoning Exeter in favour of Carlisle. This is a parliamentary government and although I can choose my cabinet, I cannot order them around as I like, and even if I could, all motions have to pass through the Parliament before coming into effect.

So, it has been decided. We are going to abandon Exeter. Only temporarily, until we grow our muscles back, but we have to. We will take all we can with us, the rest we will destroy. There will be no treaties, nothing. De iure, the ones we already have will still be valid, hence the legitimity for our return. But de facto, the system will become utterly lawless and savage. I do not think that your state will be able to survive without BAF fleets and soldiers.

I am offering to move your state together with everything else. You and your compatriots will have the honour of being the first colonists to arrive on Planet Carlisle. There you can recreate your state with full internal autonomy and almost complete independence. What do you say?

Elizabeth Hall,
Prime Minister
The Kingdom of Bretonia
