Amendment to the Liberty Law document:
Due to repeated attacks by the Red Hessians and the Unioners on military interests both within and outside the borders of the Republic of Liberty, the possession of any amount of blood diamonds is illegal and treated as any other contraband commodity.
There have been sightings of one or two Red Hessian aligned trading ships inside Liberty carrying blood diamonds, which have thusfar been left alone. However, these ships, their captains and crew are now to be either forcefully ejected from our borders after their cargo has been confiscated, or detained at Sugarland Prison Station.
Both the Red Hessians and the Unioners have made it clear as to which side they are fighting for, choosing the dictatorship and state-induced religeon prevalent in Rheinland. Thus, our hand was forced to impose economic sanctions affecting both of these groups. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
