Line 58:
This was highly controversial, even in Tretrid itself. Opposition politicians denounced the move as propping up a corrupt, ineffective regime, especially in light of the increasingly unpopular continued [[occupation of Schlesia]]. After members of the Neu Arkian Council were implicated in the corruption scandals around then-Prime Minister Æthelred Wulfricson in 2016, continued Tretridian support of the regime was denounced as corrupt and fueled by bribery from Neu Arkian officials. By the time [[Eoforwine Æthelstanson]] became Prime Minister at the end of the year, he noted his "reluctance" to continue supporting the state, but believed that it was "absolutely necessary" for Tretrid's foreign policy.
===Karling's coup===
On July 24, 2020, the Prätorianer assassinated the entire ruling council of Neu Arkia. Backed by the Prätorianer, Field Marshal Julius Augustus Karling seized control of the country and declared himself king of the newly proclaimed state of Karolingia.
While the coup was well received within Karolingia, whose populace had languished under the kleptocratic government of Neu Arkia, international opinion was rather more mixed. Mere hours after the coup, Tretridian Prime Minister Eoforwine Æthelstanson formally recognized Karolingia as the legitimate successor state to Neu Arkia, and renewed the Tretridian alliance with the state. The Prime Minister promised to cede Schlesia, which still lay under Tretridian military administration, to Karolingia once the state consolidated.
On the other hand, Arkalarius denounced Karling as a "dangerous revolutionary," and sent soldiers to the border between Arkalarius and Karolingia. Furthermore, Arkalarius laid claim to lakes on the Arkian-Karolingian border. Almost immediately, allegations that Arkian soldiers had been sent into Karolingian territory cropped up. Karling placed the army on alert in response, though Arkalarius stringently denied these claims.

Line 63 ⟶ 68:
{{flagcountry|Arkalarius}}: Empress [[Ilse Erika von Freyaelv]] called the attacks "beyond any reason or plans we could have had," and called the submarine "rogue." She condemned the attacks, while denying that the submarine was Arkian, claiming that they had no records of any Arkian submarines. Von Freyaelv promised to declassify Arkian records of submarine activity to clear up any suspicion.
{{flagicon image|FlagofCasilloyReal.png}} [[Casilló y Réal|Casilló and Réal]]: Prime Minister Gabriella Orellana termed the sinking a “distressing and entirely dishonorable violation of the respect for law that civilized society depends on.” The Prime Minister further gave recommendations for Corric nationals to avoid the Arkian and Karolingian territories. King [[Sebastián II]] gave orders to the Royal Corric Armada to monitor shipping in the area of the sinking.
{{flagcountry|Lapinumbia}}: Doge Enrico Dandolo released a statement condemning the attacks in "the harshest possible terms." He stated his hopes that Tretrid, Arkalarius, and Karolingia would seek mediation in the League of Novaris before further escalating the situation.
