The ongoing military conflict between two foreign powers serves as a stark reminder of what happens when nations prioritize 'independence' over proper centralized governance, according to a Ministry of Truth analysis released today.

"If both nations had simply submitted to a superior administrative authority—such as an NDRC-style governance model—this entire conflict could have been avoided," stated the report. "Wars happen because nations insist on self-determination rather than accepting guidance from those more qualified to lead."

The Department of Defence noted that NDRC's model of regional Matrix Management, where local Department Heads report to central Matrix Coordinators, eliminates the territorial disputes that plague traditional nation-states.

"Our citizens don't worry about borders or sovereignty. They focus on compliance and productivity," explained a Department of Defence spokesperson. "This is the future of governance—assuming other nations can set aside their prideful attachment to 'freedom' and 'self-governance.'"

Supreme Leader Carl has offered to mediate the conflict, though both parties have so far declined to accept NDRC authority over their territories.
