The vassalage of Neo-Wissendorf was the property of the Breshikan state, due to the annexation of Waldsic after the departure of Rebelbaron. As such this property was free to be given or sold to any buyer whom the Breshikan State saw fit. It is not the fault of the Breshikan state that Ivan willingly sold his sovereignty off to Waldsic in exchange for protection (as is the deal of a vassal to lord) and the inheritance of this vassalage to the Breshikan state does not permit Neo-Wissendorf any right to Political autonomy or any form of sovereignty. If it is the Enders belief that Neo-Wissendorf has a right to its own sovereignty, then logic dictates that the Ender neither respects the concept of contract nor trade.

As previously mentioned, the fact that Neo-Wissendorf has sold its sovereignty off without terms simply furthers the Breshikan claim to the legality of its action. The current actions of the Ender violate Breshikan sovereignty over state holdings and do not promote the furtherance of peace and prosperity throughout the realm as Breshik always has. The Ender republic has allowed itself to be tricked into submission by a disobedient subject, who simply wishes to break contract and escalate conflict in the Greater Northwest Region.

The Breshikan Government does petition the Government of the Ender to immediately halt its actions and return all property to the Breshikan State that was stolen, including the 24 ingots of gold. Any issues concerning the sovereignty of Neo-wiessendorf should be taken up with the Government of Eisenbach, which bought the settlement from Breshik and not the Breshikan State. The Breshikan State will halt all actions of neutrality from this point forward and any aggression will be met in kind.

For far too long have we had to deal with both Breshikian aggression and insult. The seizure and bondage of a citizen of Ender is the last straw. It is the sacred duty we have as freemen to liberate enslaved peoples from slave pens. Neo Wissendorf belongs to Ivanidiot and he alone. We do not respect Breshik's actions. Our citizens and their property are not for him to sell. Time and time again, Shakomatic has shown himself interested in seizing our holdings: from the nationalization of FireSeeker industries to the attempted enslavement of Ivanidiot. Both our sovereignty and property are threatened.

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Such has been the patient sufferance of these Settlements; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Breshik is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness of his invasions on the rights of the people.

He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.

He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.

He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:

For protecting them, by a mock Trial from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these Settlements:

For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:

He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Breshikian brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the Ender Republic, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Settlements, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Settlements are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the Breshikian Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Breshik, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
