Loria sighed.
"Your nation would be the first. You wouldn't need to do anything, but if one nation, even one not as necessarily weighty as say Wielbelkia or Arvug or Pradonia, that might convince smaller nations to recognize us and our separation from Pradia. At least then we can make an argument of protecting our freedoms that are legitimate in the eyes of the world, at least among your peoples. Your peoples know the struggle of sovereignty, of trying to be recognized, of wanting the freedom to not be bound as serfs to a monarch like ours. But the Pradians are ten times more terrifying that whatever the monarchs could have thrown at us, even the Monarchs fear the terror they are unleashing upon this world. we sent agents to Wielbelkia, Serdia and even Czestowalskalia, knowing full well we might be rejected, but we wouldn't do it if we didn't believe that we all had a role to play in the protection of people from the slaughter of a second great war. I understand your apprehension, I don't even need you to step in to defend us, our people will die to the last man, woman, and child to keep us free.

She looked down at her fingers and then looked back up.
"If I get you more information, would you at least be willing to work with us and potentially other nations to form a joint taskforce to investigating the accusation of a genocide?"

Hearing this, O'Valera leans back against his brown leather chair and tents his fingers, giving Loira a brief seven seconds stare before responding.
"I can at the very least sympathise of wanting to free yourselves from the shackles of royalty. My own father fought against the tyrants, way back years ago, during the civil war. He understood the oppression of serfdom and the freedom in liberation. While I don't understand your ideology, it clearly is what your people interprets as freedom, which is fair enough. First off, I cannot and will not guarantee your independence, this early into diplomatic relations, and the Dáil would not accept it. Second, I will greatly consider joining a coalition force against Pradonia if decisive evidence of genocide or intent of genocide is presented to me. Once again, joining a coalition force would fall on the Dáil, but I have no doubt they'll accept if the risk of genocide is on the table. I can, however, present your case of sovereign recognition to the Dáil, and can almost guarantee they'll accept it. Assuming the Dáil agrees to recognise Egoia as a sovereign land, which, let me reiterate, they will, we'll be happy to receive a diplomat, although, none will be sent to Egoia, for the safety of their own life... Threat of war, you know... Now, as I asked, is Pradonia bound by any disarmament treaties and are they actively militarising? If you could get us proof of militarization, it will help us, should we intervene.

If, for whatever reason, you can't get decisive proof of genocidal intent AND active militarization, then I'm afraid you'll be left to fight your own battles for sovereignty. Just as we were.

If that's all, I'll present your case to the Dáil, later today, and let you know their answer tomorrow morning. You're free roam the city, although, you'll be under Garda escort to ensure your safety."
