Burellis offers its full support, and immediately dispatches the southern fleet for patrols in the northern Burell Sea, and as far eastward as the Teleri Channels. Privateers act as the forerunners of the navy, who then send up flares to signal engagement to ships nearby. The Teleri Admirals are notified of this protocol.
The State Military is dispatched nearby out of visible range of the border between the fatherland and the eastern colony. Mariner ships begin to hang off-coast from the eastern colony, again, nearby outside of visible range.
A statement goes out to the inhabitants of the colony saying that they intend to annex this land, and offer the option of peaceful submission, in exchange for all assets and liabilities of the Burellian rule, and the right to citizenship in seven years, or war, which will result in the loss of the chance to citizenship until an indenture period or conscription period has expired in ten years, followed by a five year period before citizenship can be gained. This, with the exception to children under the age of five, who may receive citizenship in five years, should they attend a Burellian academy, or elders over the age of 60, which may gain citizenship within seven years. If any of those exempted participate in resistance, it shall require a branding of treason, but result in the normal indenture service.
(Plethora please moderate)
The Burellian Parliament passes an act to allow for indenturehood following the colonization of lands, then followed by citizenship, if they seek it. In acts of war or dispute towards a colony, any enemies will be judged by the admiralty court.
