Capto Iugulum: Empires and Nations

Reactionary - Conservative - Moderate - Liberal - Socialist

In order from right to left.

From Caliph Muhammad Ali
To Oman, Yemen, Tunis

Brothers in faith! The crusaders are coming again! You should all pay tribute to Egypt, over which the successor to Muhammad rules, so that you will be protected from their Frankish plots. 5 GSP for Yemen and Tunis, and 10 GSP for Oman, and you will be protected if attacked by a Christian nation.

EDIT: The dark purple French state bordering Spain has no stats.
 
@Shadowbound: The dark purple state is Languedoc. Also, at this point in time, Paraguay isn't Catholic. As for the NPCs, all are willing to pay the suggested tribute.
 
To: The Catholic world
From: The Pope


Peace be to my children. To those Catholic nations that have accepted the invitation to form the Catholic Christian League, I assure you that you will be blessed. To those who have not accepted, in fear of Spanish domination, you should know that I, the Pope, will not allow your nations to become dominated by Spain, and that it is I who shall head this League. May Christ be with you.

OOC: I'll get on it right away.
 
To Catholic Nations
From Milan


Milan will not join the Catholic League. We will continue to support the Pope and answer His call when needed.
 
To: The Pope,
From New Granada,


We would be honored to be part of an association dedicated to the glory of Christ and his highest servant on earth, your holiness himself.
 
To Catholic Nations
From Brittany

Brittany does not trust the intentions of Spain, and therefore must decline the offer to enter a Catholic alliance.

To: Brittany
From: Spain


What do our intentions have to do with your joining the Catholic League or not? We would like to remind you that it is His Holiness The Pope who leads this League, and under it we are just like any other nation. Sure, Spain is probably the most powerful force in the Catholic world behind the Pope himself, but we have no ill intent towards any Catholic nation that joins the League.
 
To: Catholic Nations not in the League
From: Portugal


If Spain were to truly rule this League do you believe Portugal would join such a thing? We must admit Portugal and Spain do not see eye to eye and we assure you that we would not join something where Spain would lead it. Remember it is the Pope who leads this and Portugal would not let it be lead by Spain and if it did we would pull out of this League dedicated to the Catholic religion.
 
To Portugal
From Milan


Our refusal to enter the Catholic League has nothing, or everything depending on your perspective, to do with Spain, or any other nation. Our refusal stems from years of self rule with numerous outside influences into Italian matters, Italian duchies and governments have always been, whether intentionally or not, left out of many European treaties, pacts or other agreements, or simply pushed around, even when it concerns Italy herself. There are many examples of such a situation, Naples being a prime example. Therefore Milan refuses on the grounds that the Catholic League really does not care what happens in Italy as long the Catholic Faith and the Pope is defended and upheld.

As we stated before, we will continue to support Papal Authority.
We have no desire to start a fight with any Catholic nation. We just do not trust anyone outside of Italy proper.
 
To: The Pope, Any concerned
From: The Two Sicilies


The Two Sicilies declines entry into the Catholic League. While we are thankful for the invitation we have internal concerns to attend.
 
OOC: Savvy anti-Spanish Christian nations could deride the catholic league for being overly political and for souring Christian ideals and philosophy. Just a thought.
 
This is the four day warning for the update
 
All right, this is the 72 hour warning for the update. Let me add onto this warning for a minute. At approximately 1:30 PM Eastern Standard Time (USA) I will begin working on the update. There will be no stopping, except for the possibility of needing to complete the Old World Blues DLC on my Xbox. After I begin updating, there will be a period of about 2-3 hours before I cut off the submission of any orders.

Remember, failure to send in orders equals exit from the NES. I will, however, accept any "I can't send orders, but I'd still like to be in the NES" Private Messages you may send after updating has begun.
 
I am going to drop out of this. :(

Maybe I will pick up a French state, are there any good strong ones left?
 
@GamezRule: Not really any strong ones that I can think of. Languedoc may be a good choice. Savoy is another one I've been trying to convince people to take. Take a look at the stats and see what would be best suited to you.
 
To: Catholic League
From: Poland


We request to be part of your alliance but we have a question in regards to religious minorities. What is your government view about them and how would you deal with them?

To: Sweden
From: Poland


We know that our people probably hate each other but we need something from your nation. (Who knows it may improve long-term relationships with our nations?). But your a nation has a lot of coast lines connecting to the Ocean. We don't unfortunately so we have come to ask if their could be some way we could purchase some land from your nation that would connect us to the ocean?
