A New Chapter in French/American Relations
The United States has exchanged diplomatic notes with France which have the following effects: France:
- undertakes to respect the United States blockade of Brazil;
- undertakes to provide no military support to any parties in the Americas;
- undertakes to normalise relations with the United States; and
- undertakes to support American normalisation of relations with Brazil consistent with the terms found in the Caracas Declaration.
The United States:
- undertakes to allow French shipping freedom of passage
- undertakes to normalise relations with France; and
- undertakes to normalise relations with Brazil consistent with the terms found in the Caracas Declaration
Caracas Declaration:
The United States offers to restore diplomatic relations with Brazil and lifting of the blockade provided the following terms are met, these being:
- holding of free and fair democratic elections open to all;
- freeing of political prisoners, guarenteeing of their safety and security and the restoration of their political rights and economic assets
- permitting the return of exiles, guarenteeing of their safety and security and the restoration of their political rights and economic assets
- restoration of the economic assets and rights of foreign firms
- demobilisation [OOC: 40% seems reasonable]
- demilitarisation to a reasonable peacetime army [OOC: I'll accept levels equivalent to Argentina and Colombia combined]
- an undertaking to abstain from hosting of foreign troops or facilities;
- a pledge of neutrality.
The United States notes that any hostile action against United States friends and allies will invalidate the Caracas Declaration and demand the use of force.

President Waynes speaking in Raleigh:
"The United States is a union, and like all unions (including mine) there can be moments of friction. We've all had arguments, fights even. Lord knows I have with missus Wayne. She threw a plate at me once. But what God has put together no man can seperate. No sir. That's as true of man and wife as it is of the United States as a whole. She missed. [Gales of laughter].
But to return to more serious matters. Hamill's thrown his plate and he didn't miss. You can see the result in the thousands of coffins streaming into Arlington drapped in the ol' Red, White and Blue. I've sat through more funerals in the past two weeks than I have in my entire lifetime. I've spoken to families. Parents. Wives. Children. I've wept alongside them.
Now some have said we should just let Hamill go and say good riddance to his slave Republic. To that I say nonsense! The millions of loyal United States citizens in Tidewater demand their liberation. Before Hamill shut down the postal service I recieved tens of thousands of earntest pleas for liberation. I can't ignore that, neither should the American people. What American would be content to see millions of their fellow citizens forced to live in a foreign land?
Some others say, well Hamill might have messed up his execution but the idea [of secession] is sound. That's nonsense. Secession is anarchy. Our Republican Government only works if the majority is held in check by constitutional checks and limitations - the only guarentee we have of freedom. Whoever rejects this ought to just put on a crown and call themselves King - King Hamill.
Let us reflect on the bigger picture for a moment: the United States is the last country on earth where democracy flourishes and where men's are truly free to enjoy the fruits of their labors. The Germans might argue otherwise but they tried to buy themselves a state. Hunter offered it to them for a song. I'd have asked for more. [Gales of laughter]. I happen to know Madison is a great city. It's the only part of the United States I'd consider letting leave, but only if they agree to keep the Cubs out of the National League. [Gales of laughter]. It'd give my boys a better shot [Gales of laughter]...."

France confirms the above, and looks forward to normalisation with the U.S., and a return to peace at seas.
With the friendship between our states and peoples in mind and heart, France urges Brazil to pursue normalisation of relations with the United States and her own neighbours, in accordance with the Caracas Declaration. Brazil has earned herself a Republic, and France is confident she can uphold her new traditions.

France also sates:
France has withdrawn from the Trieste-German Union War in the belief that, while France ideologically stands with the German Union, the Austrian Crisis does not directly involve France, and therefore it is not France's place to involve itself directly in its resolution.
That being said, France reaffirms its friendship with the German Union. France wishes it be known that she will stand by the German people's side, should they be threatened from any source unrelated to the current conflict.
May peace prevail soon.
The GFA applauds French de-escalation from the Italian squabble. People of Germany are also looking forward to being left alone by the Italian imperialist bullies. Hopefully, soon the peoples of the Apennine peninsula will realize how delusional their leadership's geopolitical ambitions are. Until then, we welcome Italian troops on our killing fields.
The GFA is cautiously optimistic about de-escalation of the Brazilian conflict, but urges Brazil to not disband a single division until the US fully cancels its blockade, recognizes the Brazilian state in whichever form the elections determine it to be, and commits to a non-aggression pact with it.

We support the peace initiative in Brazil.
We also laugh heavily, the last time we checked, Austria, Croatia, Slowenia, Bohemia and large parts of Venetia were not occupied by Italian soldiers.

I preface this with gratitude towards the United States in finally engaging in reasonable diplomacy with our nation.
That said, we want for some clarification to some of the clauses.
We would do both of these, except for one pivotal aspect. Surely you cannot expect a democratic Brazil who just fought tooth and nail against Monarchist leaders to accept them back into the political landscape with open arms. They were the root cause of much of the peoples' suffering. Brazil is open to releasing them and guaranteeing their safety, but for the sake of the stability of the nation, we cannot allow significant figures of the Monarchy free reign in Brazil's politics lest another civil ravages the country in ten years. Again, we do not intend to hold them in prison or threaten their safety, but they forfeited their right to participate in Democracy when they did everything they could to fight against it.
We would like clarification on this aspect, specifically on "facilities." Is this pertinent to military facilities exclusively? If so, we will agree.
Certainly, we will agree to stay out of the affair between Argentina and Bolivia, however, we do intend on engaging in both South American and international diplomacy, creating alliances and protecting our interests along the way. Surely, the United States does not mean to diplomatically isolate Brazil?

An aberration of nature
The empire of Mexico gladly opens its arms to any Brazilian monarchists that wish to leave Brazil
OOC: It's up to you to decide how to play the game, but your flip from the Oaxaca Commune to a pro-monarchist government is very out of character. It's also gamey: you join as the bigger of the two anti-monarchist forces in Mexico, then surrender yourself to the Imperial government and immediately re-join as the Empire. I think it'd be a bit more in-character if your government at least tried to keep some connection with the left wing it once used to belong to.
Also, I think Bolivia or Columbia would be a more natural escape destination for Imperial collaborators.

OOC: Especially considering that North Brazil was a Bolivian puppet state, anyway.

Following suit with Mexico, the Great Empire of Bolivia opens its arms to all Brazilian citizenry whom no longer feel welcome in the new socialist sesspool their nation has become.
The Caracas Declaration is either accepted en bloc, or not at all.
OOC: Your reading of facilities as military is right.
Jackelgull was fine to flip. His decision to surrender saved socialism
() in Mexico. I was quite keen for a fight.

The Great Zhao has decreed Indochina will be incorporated into His nation led by seven vassals. He chose seven because this is the number of togetherness, and he hopes to bring the disparate peoples of the land together under his wing.

He offers Thailand mercy, but knows they will be dissatisfied with this state of affairs and regrettably prepares for their attack. Furthermore, he is setting up a fund for the grieving widows and children of the soldiers who lost their lives fighting honorably in battle. This includes those of French (or formerly French) nationality. "The loved ones of those who did their duty should also be honored," he is quoted to have said.

4. To, during defensive wars, coordinate military actions under a common, multi-national command.
5. That new nations may become undersigned parties with the unanimous agreement of all current undersigned parties.
