Tension between Falkenberg and Zinzenland;
Prince attempts to mediate
Sources in the Foreign Ministry report that an unfortunate misunderstanding has arisen between the kingdoms of Falkenberg and Zinzenland, both close friends of Corvinia.
The gist of the trouble is that Falkenberg issued a broad statement giving its reasons for adopting an absolutist-monarchic government, a statement which, in Zinzenland, was apparently taken for an insult. The Falkenberg message contained terms which the Zinzenlanders felt denigrating to democratic constitutions in general, and to the Zinzenland constitutional monarchy in particular.
It is understood that His Corvine Highness is attempting to mediate. Matters are complicated by the fact that the government of His Majesty, King Tobias I of Zinzenland, has spoken (somewhat rashly, it is felt) of war being "on the agenda".
The Foreign Ministry is working full time to head off any possibility of conflict.
