In response to persistent and baseless propagation of misinformation, rumor, and slander directed against the venerable Veritum economic sector, we have decided to institute sanctions against the New Ohio Territory, led by Thomas Meagher, and its associates.
Veritum demands a base sum of $1,000,000 in nominal reparations for damage to its public reputation, which will double every time we are made aware of another public announcement, post, or other communication from Thomas Meagher accusing Veritum of unscrupulous or illegal activity.
Until the current debt of $4,000,000 is paid, Veritum will abstain from conducting political, business, or diplomatic relations with the New Ohio Territory and any member of any alliance that currently harbors him (Alpha). Veritum holds no enmity against any alliance harboring the New Ohio Territory other than the fact that they are harboring the New Ohio Territory. This announcement will remain in effect indefinitely.
The Veritum economic sector prides itself on being honest, transparent, and of above-average competence. No further insult will be tolerated.
