OOC: Crezth, the Texas provisional government authorized the purchase of four schooners in November 1835, though they were not commissioned until January 1836. Should those ships (and their upkeep costs) be added into the stats?

Greece is here.

Argentine Confederation is present.

I'm a signatory to a lot of stuff. So, ahh, I suggest people like talk to me before doing stuff like going to war/revising tariffs/etc. Because there ain't nothing worse than a bunch of m-o-w's turning up and wrecking yo stuff.

~ His Imperial Royal Apostolic Majesty, Ferdinand I, Emperor of Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary, King of Bohemia and so forth and so forth.

We in Bern and Zurich and Geneva have taken note of the magnificent attention paid as of late to the pacts and treaties of the great powers of the world and to the allegiances and friendships being reaffirmed. We would like to reaffirm our continued neutrality and bring attention to the long-standing state of Swiss neutrality as is recognized diplomatically at the Vienna Congress of 1814 and 1815 and the Treaty of Paris of 1814.

His Majesty King Frederick VI of The Kingdom of Denmark,
Count Karl Robert Nesselrode of The Empire of Russia by permission of Tsar Alexander I,
His Grace, Prince Metternich of The Austrian Empire, by permission of Emperor Francis,
The Honourable Arthur Wellesley, First Duke of Wellington, of The United Kingdom,
Chancellor Prince Karl August von Hardenburg of The Kingdom of Prussia,
The Honourable Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord by permission of Louis XVIII of The Kingdom of France,
His Eminence Cardinal Ercole Consalvi of The Papal States, by permission of the Holy See, and Blessed by His Holiness Pope Pius VII,
and finally, but certainly not least notably by The Honourable Marquis Pedro Gómez de Labrador of The Kingdom of Spain
have all recognized and sworn to respect the Swiss state as a neutral, independent state.

It is the hope of the representatives of every canton of Switzerland that lasting, just peace will pervade our blessed continent, and that each of the great powers mentioned will respect their commitment to avoid violation of Switzerland's official and unwavering neutrality. We will officially admonish any attempt to involve the Swiss state in any military activities outside of non-belligerent military exercise. Any diplomacy conducted with an ambassador of the Independent State of Switzerland will be understood as being conducted with an official of full plenipotentiary authority and the thorough backing and support of all cantons and people of Switzerland.
-Signed,
President Karl F. Tscharner,

Dear Karl F. Tscharner,

Yes.

Regards,
Karl Nesselrode

Bavaria is glad of the Berlin Declaration and hopes it will long be maintained.
