[Former Senator Bolv'ar of the Confederacy of Excaria]

"Senators,

We are most grateful for your support to our cause in the past election, and we are certain it was through your effort that we were able to win.

We made your worlds offers of selecting ministerial positions, the Minister of Defence for Senator Danar Tassar and the Minister of Foreign Affairs or the Minister of Commerce to Senator Nehket Aeka and her voting block.

For this reason, we would like to open the ground for your advise about which position you would prefer and who you would prefer there, so we can inaugurate the new cabinet as smoothly as possible."

[Nehket Aeka]

"As I have already told you in my previous communications, I would be honoured to take on the responsibilities of Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Though I'd rather not, I am willing to continue my position as Minister of Defence if it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, I am willing to lend my personal assistant, who is aware of most details of the ministry and it's projects, to whomever is chosen as Minister of Defence."

[Senator Danar Tassar]

"I must admit, we have some difficulties in selecting a fitting candidate. Most important reason for this is because we only joined relative shortly the Union and we do not yet know the personalities and agenda's of all the senators. Therefore we think you are better in selecting a candidate.

As our advice: the selection criteria we uphold are:
the faction/ minster must

- at any time not start a war
- prefer peace
- not be afraid to respond with violence against aggressors
- promote the expanding defensive military, for defensive purpose only of course
- be trustworthy to the Union

Especially the combination of the first and the fourth criteria proves to be a challenge. An important note: At first we thought the New Communist Imperium of the Rising Suns of Deominius were a good change, until we learned they will probably use the power of the minister to bolster their own army and use it to split from the Union. Therefore we explicitly see the New Communist Imperium of the Rising Suns of Deominius as a bad candidate. We also see the senator of Skullda as a bad candidate because his lack of care for the safety of the people he ought to protect. "

[Former Senator Bolv'ar of the Confederacy of Excaria]

"Apologies for our delayed reaction in this manner.

Based on your advise and careful deliberation, we have chosen to give the position of Minister of Defence to Meritonia. That leaves our cabinet to consist of:

• Ministry of Commerce - New Communist Imperium of the Rising Suns of Deominius
• Ministry of Defence - Kingdom of Meritonia
• Ministry of Finance - Confederacy of Excaria
• Ministry of Foreign Affairs - Veolian Commonwealth
• Ministry of Justice - Federal Republic of Bisidn

We trust this satisfies both of you."

[Senator Danar Tassar]

"According to his file, the minister of defence is an... interesting choice, given the narcissistic nature of senator Enrorgh. But as I said, we do not have a proper knowledge of their culture, and we do not know their senator in person, so I trust your judgement in your selection.

We wish you good luck in you term."
