​Rising prices for consumer goods and services have prompted difficult talks in Isermno's financial appropriations ministry. Government and industry leaders are in negotiations in an attempt to stem what some have called a financial "death spiral."

As everyone knows, Isermno Airways flights are the safest in the world, with no crashes reported in the airline's history. Even so, from time to time, an unscheduled, urgent landing might need to occur due to natural causes, such as gravity. A recent incident threatens to break the airline's perfect safety record.

To all whom this message may come, greetings. His Royal Highness by the grace of God (and money) the Duke of Isermno, by and through his Ministry of Foreign Relations, extends a cordial salutation.
