Art of the Possible

The Kingdom of Spain, while neither an observatory party or a signatory party, would like to give their support towards the Treaty of La Rochelle, as a way of creating peace on the Asian continent.
 
Final Ruling on Fuel: I've decided we're going to stick with Fuel as written. I do however, reserve the right to drop it at a future date, if need be. Still, I'm not prepared to lose this stat before it has been tested at least to an extent.
 
OOC: He said earlier that he's pushing the deadline back to 11/2

Oh, well...

Russia is selling 150 fuel for cheap (what's the current price? 1EP for 5 fuel or 1 EP for 10 fuel?) to whoever is still buying. We're particularly interested in contracts as opposed to single-time purchases. Still, single-time purchases are okay.

If your country has a surplus of unused IC, we can accept payment in supply. PM me if you're interested
 
The Empire of Japan notes that the current lowest bid is 1 ep for 10 fuel, offered by Venezuela. Bidding for a five year contract with the Japanese Fleet will close in ~10 hours.

We'll let Venezuela have this one. Oil prices are already lower than they should be because of Austro-Hungarian price drop.

From: Venezuela

At this time, we are not offering our Fuel surpluses to your nation due to political and economic concerns.
 
If the Venezuelan supply is to be used as a political tool by the Confederate States, then it is almost certainly better for the Empire of Japan to seek our fuel elsewhere.
 
The Japanese Government's concerns have been noted.

Also, Treaty signed.
 
The US ambassador to Korea signs the treaty on behalf of the USA.

Oh crap I was working a ton the last couple weeks and I'm late to the party! I'll get my orders in when I'm caught up on any diplo I need to be aware of, sorry!

To: Naples
From: Italy


Italy hereby offers the following treaty to Naples.

Treaty of the Italian Peninsula:
Spoiler :
I. Italy and Naples agree to lower tariffs on each nations goods and services.

II. Italy and Naples agree for easier access of Italian Nationalists to flow between each nation.

III. Italy and Naples agree to prioritize trade with one another above all other nations.
a. This does not declare that we cannot trade with other nations, rather that if Italy or Naples produces the same good or service as a third nation, we will purchase said good or service from Italy (or Naples) first.

IV. Italy and Naples agree to a defense treaty lasting five (5) years.
a. This will be reevaluated every fourth (4th) year to decided whether or not to extend the treaty.

V. Italy and Naples agree to a peace treaty lasting five (5) years.
a. This will be reevaluated every fourth (4th) year to decided whether or not to extend the treaty.


We are willing to hear any input Naples would like to give on the treaty to come to common ground and make this treaty possible.

The British Government raises an eyebrow.

The British Government notes that this seems hostile to the interests of its trade and industry, reveals a complete hostility to the principle of the free market and seems completely unworkable administratively.
 
To: Italy
From: Naples

At this time, none of the points of your treaty seem to have any value to us. We certainly don't want the "nationalist" refuse to be allowed easier access to our nation. We have no issue with easing trade between our nations, but that would be the full extent of any treaty we could agree upon.
 
From the United States of America
To the Various American Nations
CCed The World,


It has come to our attention that certain (central American) nations believe that the United States is weak-kneed for having failed to re-affirm the CSA’s support for the Monroe Doctrine (OOC: post 81).

Let us be clear. The United States has been since 1823, and continues to be, dedicated to the principles espoused in the Monroe doctrine.

When we remained silent in the face of the CSA’s declaration, it was not for lack of principle, but because we did not feel we needed to echo some pretender confederate union’s parroting of our own well-known policies.

We hope that any confusion has now been clarified.



From the United States of America
To the Various Nations of the Americas, both south and north
CCed The World,


The United States is hereby making itself available to mediate in the resolution of territorial or international disputes throughout the Americas. This assistance is meant to help avoid bloodshed and violent conflict between states for any reason.

Any nation that takes unilateral military action against another within the Americas, without first attempting to resolve the issue though American (and possibly other nations as the case may require)-assisted mediation will incur the wrath of the United States, which may, in turn, take punitive or interventionist action as it sees fit.

The United States and others have diplomatic, strategic, and business interests throughout the American continents and would not see those interests endangered without cause.



From the United States of America
To the Various Central American Nations
CCed The World,


Military adventurism such as that undertaken by William Walker in Nicaragua and Costa Rica should never have been tolerated and henceforth WILL NOT be tolerated.

Swift action will be taken by the United States military to protect the independence of all regional states should it be deemed necessary.

The Empire of France firmly REJECTS each and every provision of this horrific treaty, and calls upon its long time friend and ally Naples to do the same. This treaty not only extremely disrupts the long standing trade ties between France and Naples, but also deigns to disrupt the Italian peninsula as well, which has prospered in peace under French protection.

The government of His Most Imperial Majesty hereby applauds the Kingdom of Naples for its sensible rejection of this treaty, though feels that any lowering of rates between Italy and Naples could harm trade between France and Naples, and calls upon the Kingdom of Italy to rescind this ridiculous treaty.

His Most Imperial Majesty will be quite interested in any further developments.
 
From: Italy
To: Naples
CC: France and Britain


We hereby rescind the treaty, but would still like to come to terms on lowering tariffs. Would that be acceptable to the great and mighty? Italy only wants to improve relations with our Italian neighbors that would lengthen our peace and help each other prosper.
 
The only threat to peace in Italy is yourself, monsignor, and your ridiculous proposals for free movement of filthy "nationalists" and alliances. Italy is more than welcome to place herself under the protection of France, as Westphalia has done for example, and prosper, but it has been noted that the Italian King clearly wishes to place himself as a standard bearer for nationalism and that will not be tolerated.

If Italy wishes to lower tariffs, then His Most Imperial Majesty would declare you should lower them for all nations in the interest of free trade. We will not condone any agreement that lowers them solely for one nation

Italy did not mean Nationalists, we meant Nationals. We apologize for the error in translation.
 
I will be out of town for tomorrow and Saturday, so I'm giving the first warning for orders now.

Orders are due on Monday. Remember, unlike the past couple of games I've done, you can't just wait until the literal last minute to get them in. Once the deadline has passed (Monday night), no more orders will be accepted. For reference, if you do not send in orders for this first update, I am assuming you have dropped and will not be participating in the game.
