Quote:PUNTA SANTIAGO, ALDURIA -- The Secretary of State, Augusto Benavides, announced the official position of the Government of Alduria towards privateer activities, and made clear that the Government condemns of any privateer communities and/or activities within our territorial waters and commercial routes, while encourages the intermicronational community to support emerging economies like Alduria by providing security protocols and ensure peaceful trade with established economies.

"Our economy relies strongly on oil exports, this represent a threat to our way of life and anti-piracy measures are to be established to ensure our survival."

Benavides urged the intermicronational community to establish economic sanctions and operational restrictions to any supporter of these activities, while announced that any ship that directly or indirectly engages or support piracy shall not be accepted in our ports, and we will provide refuge to all ships attacked by privateers.

"We are planning alternate sea routes and considering railroad expansion to avoid confrontation, we are a peaceful nation and do not intend to engage in any sort of violence, nor harbor hostile intentions against any nation or power"
