To the Government of Liberty

[The Republic Of Liberty]

Whoever you are;

Firstly, we need to know who you are, and under what banner you fly; we do not even know your name. Secondly, as Manhattan space is always busy, we are generally unlikely to grant a permit for construction around the Capital, even if your base is to be positioned in a relatively quiet zone. Thirdly, we need to know if you understand the base legislation currently in place.

Regards,

- William Hawthorne, Secretary of State for Trade and Economics.
