To: Virginia
From: France
A similar offer was extended to Virginia in the past and they have rejected it. That being said, France has no territorial designs on North America. Our goal is to punish Pennsylvania, to put it plainly. They must learn that consequences have actions.
We are incredible proponents of peace! We have even spearheaded the new global initiative for an international congress to decide international disputes in - in fact, we are even seriously considering allowing the SUSA to join! Our act against Pennsylvania cannot possibly be territorial because, strategically, it is unsound, being surrounded by powers hostile to the rebirth of a French empire in North America. We do our best to guard our friends, however, at least those of principle and race - we won't allow New Jersey to fall by the wayside because a bunch of mongrels were protected by their misguided neighbors.
We want peace. If Pennsylvania pays a modest 10 EP in reparations to New Jersey for damages done and production lost, and if we can come to an official agreement on shipping lanes, and if New Jersey's complete and unconditional independence is guaranteed with recognition on all of our parts' certain, we will sign peace with Pennsylvania.
