I am speaking as a citizen of the Auroran Republic, currently residing in our Tjikko territory of New Kryapolis.

It has been made aware to us in a recent post on our subreddit, /r/CivAgora , that Concordia has planned to "box in" New Kryapolis and force us out of the shard. We considered this a shitpost at first, someone just trying to stir drama between nations, but it seems as if that is not the case. Last night, I logged on to find construction of a road being built on our northern and eastern border. I asked what it was for and they claimed it was a road to planned farms. Thinking it would continue going south of us and just be a road, I allowed construction to continue. That was not the case. This morning, the road has been completed as a box around the current Auroran fence, which is not our full claims. We have had channels of communication open with Concordian for a while now, relatively speaking to the overall length on 3.0, and have clearly stated our intended land claims. These developments have completely trampled all negotiations that have been done.

Here is a map of the fence and the surrounding road

Here is a collection of the buildings and signs placed within 10 blocks of our fences

I must admit, the signs could be any person, since they seem unreliable, but the buildings are still there. The buildings are all small, the largest being maybe a 7x3 floorspace. These are obviously not going to be used as residential or storage based buildings.

We have been lied to and your people are now trying to force us out. We have only been friendly to you, but it seems as if you want our land as well, despite there being much more in nearly every direction. I have fed some of your citizens passing by and even collected their goods and stored them after one died. This aggression is unnecessary.

I would like to see this resolved peacefully. Thank you.
