Socialist Party of Kalistan Issues Statement on the Keymon Crisis
Ananto City, Kalistan
January 1, 3290


Today, a spokesperson for the Socialist Party of Kalistan, a Party currently in government, issued the following brief statement on the Keymonese Crisis:

"The Socialist Party, in accord with Kalistan's Militia Law, hereby activates the Socialist Party of Kalistan's Party Militia, the RSMoK. We intend to activate our full initial call up for service in the Keymon Crisis.  Our late arrival on the scene of this conflict is a demonstration of Kalistan's commitment to peace and self determination for all people, free of foreign domination.  Additionally, we are opposed to the expansion of nationalism and we support the efforts of the people of Keymon to liberate themselves from rightist oppression.  While it may seem cliche for us to use terms like this, we believe that all rightism is oppression, and therefore, support the overthrow of it in Keymon.  Our forces have already begun to train, and will be engaged within six months. 

"Our explicit mission in Keymon is to provide opportunities for regular and conventional militaries from other nations to rid the country of conquering forces.  We will avoid frontal and conventional engagement on all counts.  We will, however, not hesitate to use all weapons in Kalistan's arsonel, including small arms, propaganda, sabotage, and drugs.  Given that Kalistan is the world leader in production and exporter of recreational and medicinal drugs, as well as the founding member and home base of the Organization of Drug Exporting Nations (ODEN), we have a number of very nice chemicals available to us which can be used to immobilize a fighting force for a few hours, decrease morale, and perhaps increase the rate of friendly fire.  We therefore extend an invitation to the occupying army to leave Keymon immediately, so our Party's militia can come home soon, and the Keymon crisis can come to a resolution that reflects our principles as a Party:  Neutrality, civil libertarianism, fair trade, self determination, peace, and anti-rightism.  We sincerely hope you take us up on our offer, but if not, that is ok too:  we assure you that brigades of hallucinating soldiers makes for great TV.  We will happily broadcast our movies of your soldiers on Keymon AND Kalistani TV. While we bear no ill will toward Likatonia, its people, its military, and its government, we do stand on principle that Keymon is and should be independent of foreign rulers, as is Likatonia and as is Kalistan, and so we will lend a hand in the effort to ensure that outcome.  Thank you and have a good day."
