Simultaniously, 10,000 soldiers have made landfall at Diamond, attacking it to liberate it from Sirdovian forces. They are working with the governor (who was voted in by Alledonian sympathizers), and they have already seized the capital city.
[OOC: you can't just proclaim that you have taken the capital, especially given that the country is occupied by over 40,000 enemy forces. Also, I think it would be easier for everyone if you draw a map of the territory attacked/captured in Sirdovia.]
[To Alledon]
Insolent heretical dogs! How dare you desecrate His Holy Lands with your filthy footsteps? You attack without reason or provocation, after His Divine Imperial Federation pledges a ceasefire! Heretic-king, you are an insult, a tasteless mockery of a human being! We shall beat your "armies" back, and they shall be put to the flame!

Whatever the grievances that Alledon had with Sirdovia, they were not at all presented to the Sirdovian government. Instead of alerting the Sirdovian government to any issues that the Republic of Alledon had, and then solving said issues using diplomacy (possibly at the upcoming peace talks), Alledon decides to simply declare war on our Federation. As no demands or conditions of surrender have been made, we can only assume that Alledon means to completely obliterate Sirdovia, without mercy or quarter, without provokation, and without reason.
30,000 men march east from Diamond, toward the Great Central Passage, where they will be ferried across to Sirdovia. Sirdovian citizens of military age (18-60 years) are called upon to rise against the blasphemous invaders in a glorious People's Crusade. Participation in the People's Crusade is mandatory, and all eligible who refuse are subject to an Inquisitorial Tribunal and execution as heretics. This will give the People's Crusade a force of 80,000, plus reserve forces of 4000, variously armed. In all, 114,000 Sirdovians will rise to defend the Holy Land. 300,000 credits will be spent to fund arming and training of the People's Crusade in the defense of the Holy Land.
10,850 men remain to defend newly-sanctified Diamond from the invaders.
30 ships of the Sirdovian navy move to a defensive position along the southern Sirdovian coast to prevent Alledonian reinforcements landing and molesting our Holy Land.
[To Braddia]
The Divine Imperial Federation of Sirdovia calls upon the Kingdom of Braddia, as its closest ally, to lend military assistance to Sirdovian troops defending Diamond.

This completely unprovoked attack upon a nation dedicated to ending the Great Realm War cannot stand. Sirdovia calls upon the international community for a universal condemnation of the Alledonian invasion, and a boycott on trade with this treacherous nation. No more blood had to be spilt in this war, yet Alledon insists upon pillaging underdefended cities, slaughtering civilians, and burning thousands of homes to the ground. No nation can, in good conscience, condone this. Action must be taken immediately to halt this savage act of barbarity.
[To Alledon]
The Divine Church of the Crimson Hand offers this first and final opportunity to the Alledonian armies in Sirdovia and Diamond to confess and repent their sins, lay down their arms and embrace the love of Our Glorious Lord, the Red Messiah of Humanity. If the Alledonian forces follow these instructions, no military action against Alledon shall be taken.
