Capto Iugulum: 1920 - 1939

To all the new French and Spanish states; I highly recommend you read the Treaty of St. Gall, to get familiar with some of the promises and benefits I have made towards your future existences. I'm happy to answer any and all questions.
 
OOC: What is public mood in Catalonia like vis-a-vis Occitania.

To: REPUBLIC OF GALICIA, REPUBLIC OF EUSKADI
From: CATALONIA

We propose a military and financial cooperative with the goal of maintaining both our territorial and financial independence from Spain.

OOC: nothing has happened between us at all. There are no historical relations, so you see I'm trying to begin on a friendly footing :) in any case, Catalonia especially has very close linguistic ties to the Occitan language, and seeing as your nation was founded on a nationalistic fervour, I doubt dealings with us could go sourly for you.

From Occitania
To Catalonia, Galicia, Euskadi


Occitania would support such a cooperative for stability in the region, if your nations would be amicable to our free trade proposal.

To: Catalonia
From: The Imperial German Union

Should Spain not accept this most reasonable of agreements, with your permission, we'd like to send you soldiers to help you ward-off the Spaniards.

Should Galicia and Euskadi agree to our cooperative military agreement, Catalonia will do all it can to include Germany in the alliance as a friend and ally. Should Catalonia stand alone, we will be that much more welcoming of German assistance. We are very grateful for Germany's role in freeing us from the tyranny of the Phoenix and continue to be grateful for your military assurances.

OOC: Stockholme: If what you say is true and your relations with the other Republics are good, we would probably be open to this agreement. We are just unsure of what role Spain would play in your economic plan.
 
From: Workers' Commonwealth
To: Jamaica
CC: Lusitanian Tyrant Slavemaster, Vinland, PADA

We are glad to see that the free, democratic will of the Jamaican people has been preserved against the brutish strength of Brazilian tyranny. There are those who fear the Revolution, and fear that states which embrace the Revolution shall seek to export it to their neighbors. These fears are unfounded. Were that the case, we ought to be afraid of so-called republics like the Empire of Brazil, which apparently find it necessarily to militarily force themselves and their ideology upon other nations. The free people of Jamaica have chosen their own government through the democratic process. All freedom-loving peoples in the world must now respect this choice and defend it against the machinations of the Tyrant of Rio de Janeiro. We call upon the members of PADA to continue their condemnation of Brazil's aggression towards the Workers' Commonwealth of Jamaica, predicated on the ideal that all free men ought to have no masters but themselves, and that the peace and tranquility of the western hemisphere and the world is worth maintaining regardless of ideological differences. Brazilians shall have their dark day of tyranny and slavery when good men are too divided or too indifferent to stand up and reject the shackles of their oppression. To our Jamaican friends, we say, "Long live the Revolution!" To the enemies of freedom we say, "Sic semper tyrannis"

From: Workers' Commonwealth
To: Kongo Society Pigdogs

You have no one to blame but yourselves for your existing predicament, as it is nothing but your own greed and obsession with profit that has brought the empire low. You have destabilized the colonial system and soon it will collapse entirely. Was it worth it?
 
From Occitania
To Kingdoms of Europe, in particular, Dauphine, Poitou, Paris-Burgundy and Normandy


Maximilien Auvergne, the crown prince of Occitania, has completed his education and is no longer serving in the armed forces.

He is now seeking a suitable bride to continue the dynasty when he takes the throne. Occitania would be interested in a royal marriage with any of the ruling families of Europe's kingdoms, especially from those kingdoms of France which have just as of recently become independent.
 
To: The World
From: Peru


Peru cannot simply stand by and watch as the destabilizing influence of this "moralism" both wretches South America apart and brings rightfully sovereign countries into the sphere of the Catholic Church, or worse, Brazil. While stopping the advance of Proletarism is a noble goal, using that goal as a thinly veiled front for imperialism is not. Do not mistake this warning for a threat of war, but let it be known that we make our stance on the matter very clear.

To: Peru
CC: The Rest of the World
From: The Holy See


The Holy See is dissapointed that Peru disingenuously opposes the principle of the sovereignty of states, and seeks to imperialistically impose its own liberalism on other states in South America due to its opposition to the domestic social and political trends that have developed freely in those same countries in accordance with the values and beliefs of many of the people there. Catholic Moralism as a political movement is an organic development in Latin America, and it is a development domestic to those nations with all the corresponding, and inevitable (considering the fallen nature of man) problems mans corrupt and fallen men nature (as evident in broken promises in Brazil) produces within any organised political movement distinct from any part of their ideologies. Ergo considering this is evident, it seems clear to us that Peru's statements and actions are cynically veiling their own ideological urges, which compel them, hypocritically perhaps, to intrude upon other states domestic affairs.

Considering this, it seems evident to us, that Peru's government is reflecting the inherent tyrannical tendencies of liberalism, which would see any other view suppressed under an egotistical exhaltation of the power of the state (previously written about by Pope Leo XVI) and a latent anti-catholic secularism. Something clear in the disdain for democratic processes (something apparently liberals hold dear) liberals display when the will of the majority does not go their way (as evident in Chile). As they say, liberal bigotry is the worst of all, as it thinks itself so enlightened.

For the sake of the Jamaicans, please stay out of this matter.
 
OOC: Is a shame you don't wish to have a Habsburg Bride, JK.
 
From: Workers' Commonwealth
To: Vinland

Your supposition that our voice of disgust against Brazilian tyranny will somehow bring more horrors upon the Jamaican people, whose sovereignty has already been violated by Brazilian armies, is illogical as well as patronizing. We do not understand what you seek to accomplish by alienating international support against Brazil's illegal and warmongering actions.

If it was our intention to take any action for the sovereign Jamaican regime -- Jamaica's Workers' Commonwealth -- that we have not already undertaken we would have made this evident prior.
 
To: The Grand Republic of Florida, current Speaker of the Concord
From: The United Principalities of India

As we've just signed a tariff reduction agreement with and will be the recipients of a generous loan package from the Japanese Empire, we hereby seek your approval to enter the Concord. While we are not strictly in the Pacific, we feel it would be mutually beneficial for both sides if we are gained admittance to your organization, and as such humbly seek your acceptance.

Privately, we think that the democratic nature of Jamaica is under question. We are strongly interested in seeing the Jamaican people elect a government- we don't believe that simply claiming to be 'a government of the people' will carry water for much longer if there are not elections for national leadership.
 
TO: Jamaica
FROM: The UPRA


The government of the UPRA expresses its most sincere apologies to the Jamaican people. While UPRA troops helped safeguard Jamaican independence, we understand that that is not enough to safeguard the Revolution, or the Jamaican people, in the birthplace of black liberty.

The UPRA is willing to negotiate a permanent status of forces and a basing agreement at the earliest convenience of Syndic Matthews. We wish to stress that from now on, the UPRA will be responsible for the supply of any fraternal aid forces deployed to Jamaica, and 5 EP of lease fees for facilities will be paid annually to the Jamaican government.



TO: Jamaican insurgents
FROM: The UPRA


What, you really want Brazilian annexation? Because that's what they were about to do. If you had problems with us, you could bloody well have said so - the UPRA is not in the business of shooting peaceful protestors. Who do you think we are, Russia?
 
Denmark would offer Princess Margarte, but she is currently 8 years old and I doubt Prince Maximillien is willing to wait ten years.

OOC: Didn't just make this up, I'm in the process of writing King Leopold II's biography. Three children, Leopold (b. 1913), Frederick (b. 1915) and Margarte (b. 1918).

Anyone with similarly aged children who is up for a trade marriage should get in touch.
 
Margarte is only 4 years older than Carlos Gustav, the heir to Brazil. Hmm.

I'd have thought the the von Sønderborgs are a bit below Carlos Gustav's station. :(
 
Stay away from Brazilian women. As a rule, they all look like Frida Kahlo.

Carlos also probably looks like Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite.
