(This is kinda fun. Here's a little insight into Tanimbar feelings on Sedonia.)
We have no diplomatic or consular representatives in Sedonia. All commutication is already through Mir or Bucancy. Any Tanimbari people in your country have moved there planning on leaving Tanimbar.

This letter is to serve as formal notice of our breaking off diplomatic relations with you. We have ordered the recall of our diplomatic and consular representatives from Tanimbar, and the expulsion of Tanimbari diplomatic & consular representatives from Sedonia as personae non grata. All Tanimbari nationals have until the 24th of this month to leave Sedonia voluntarily. Any who fail to leave by that date will be deported to the Mir province of Yora'tirmar as the nearest neutral country. Any further communications between our governments may be conducted through neutral intermediaries, such as Mir or Kaeir.
Tanimbar's interference in a purely internal Sedonian matter is unacceptable and will be met with proportionate response.

To Empress Yzara and the Sedonian Parliament, Greetings.
We, too, will be blunt: Zelkor is still an independent entity UNTIL you annex it. The Treaty of New Tirmaeir simply said that Kaeir and Mir would not interfer with your annexation of Zelkor. This did not give you power to govern Zelkor. Prince Ean Arracht of Zelkor still has the power to make and sign treaties in behalf of his city. He did not agree to needing your permission to do anything.
Furthermore, Zelkor is a member of the Midsea Federation and recognized by the majority of the membership. Tanimbar will be sending supplies with the navy. If any attack is made or hindrance attempted on these ships, it will be viewed as a breach of the Midsea Federation. Your posturing will not be tolerated.

We will be blunt: Zelkor's status was established by the 1457 Treaty of
New Tirmaeir. As such, Zelkor is a Sedonian possession, and its Prince
has no power to enter into any treaty relationship without the approval
of the Sedonian Crown, including the MidSea Federation Treaty. Since Our
approval has not been granted, the MidSea Federation Treaty's terms do
not apply in this situation.
With regard to the situation on land, as long as your troops stay south
of the border, Ours will remain north of it. As for the situation at
sea, Zelkor is under blockade, and any neutral ships attempting to enter
the city to resupply it will be turned away or taken as contraband.
However, as We are merciful, Tanimbari ships may be allowed to enter
Zelkor as evacuation transports, subject to inspection by the blockading
squadron, to ensure that no supplies are being taken to the garrison.
Any ship which refuses such inspection will be turned away or taken as
contraband.
Signed this 5th day of Lussuth, 1461, by
Her Imperial Majesty Yzara IV Thalsedon-Caladyn, by the graces of the
Gods Empress of the United Provinces of Sedonia, Selaria, Vizinia,
Tirmar, and Casovia, Protector of Kajir, Overlord of Tolmersa and
Zelkor, Defender of the Sedonian Church

[OOC: You know, King Victor Athelari, Queen Katrina Orasari, and First
Minister Marcus Merari have been ruling Tanimbar for at least 50 years.
Shouldn't they be getting a little long in the tooth?]
