Capto Iugulum: Empires and Nations

The United Kingdom and the Spanish Empire have agreed to a Non-Agression Pact for 10 years with the option to renew the pact every 5 years afterwards

Brazil fully supports this pact and would like to enter the same agreement with Britain.

Although your insults towards the nation of Burgundy and its royal family were in the past tolerated for the sake of peace, your recent aggressive action forces us to make a stand. The construction of fortifications along our common border, so close on the heels of your past hostility, can mean only one thing: future military action or trickery by Orleans towards the Kingdom of Burgundy. To preempt your devious plans, we deliver this ultimatum. Agree to end work on the current fortifications and destroy the recently built ones by the end of the upcoming year, or we shall be forced to take whatever action we deem necessary to protect Burgundy from aggression.

I apologize. I realize that, other than your oppressive barracks, there are opulent palaces where the nobles hide from the small pox during your glorious coronation while beyond the barred gates the death toll and the taxes climb ever higher.

Here goes: Paris, Barracks, Opulent Palaces, High Taxes, Rebellious Populace; Lots of other problems too.

You accept?

OOC: I'm just playing an IC antagonistic figure against the Catholic, Liberal young King of a strong country near by borders. Sniping where I can. :D Oh, BTW I am enjoying this IRL. :p. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, Spry.

You know, you are only reinforcing their fears that you will attack them by telling them not to build defenses. :rolleyes:

I agree with Prussia. The only thing 'aggressive' here is that Ultimatum of yours. So what if they are building Modern Fortifications? It is only a precaution against your rapier waving by wearing a veil so you won't take one of our eyes out.

BEHOLD THE MAP OF FRANCE AND ITS ENVIRONS! Hate it when you accidentally invaded the wrong neighbor? Does their borders all look alike? Look no further and buy a Normandian Map today!
 
EQ, can I have a slight extension due to much needed diplomacy? :blush:

We have no intentions of disarming our border, especially with the aggressive stance of your ultimatum.


@nuclear_kid: you have at least 8 hours until the update. There may be more time after that as there'll be a time between the deadline and cut off. I wouldn't risk it if I were you.
 
Orders sent :)
 
All right, missing quite a few orders yet. Going to be a little while yet before I am ready to update, have things to take care of first.

How much longer do you expect we'll have to get them in?
 
Well I'll be kind, and say 24 hours. But I will be doing bits of the update before then haphazardly. So, once the deadline is up, it's up. There will be no further extensions.
 
Proclamation of the Royal Court of Burgundy

In the Year Of Our Lord 1833, King Philippe II, Sovereign of the Kingdom of Orleans, made several disparaging remarks towards both the Kingdom of Burgundy and its royal family at upper-class gatherings throughout France. These insults, which alone could have been deserving of a declaration of war, clearly showed the hostility of Philippe II and his court towards the Kingdom of Burgundy. However, the late King Conrad VII, in his infinite wisdom, chose to ignore said insults in the name of peace.

Yet in the Year of Our Lord 1834, the same year in which the beloved King Conrad VII passed away, King Philippe ordered the construction of fortifications along our common border, purportedly for the sake of self-defense. And this alone is no matter of great concern for us, for we have in the past tolerated similar actions by several other neighbors. This would have been the case with Orleans, and yet their unabashed hostility causes us to take note. While the building of fortifications along the border may not be strange, the same act on the heels of open insults towards the nation of Burgundy is cause for great suspicion.

Clearly, the building of said fortifications by a neighbor known to be hostile towards our nation can only mean one thing. That King Philippe of Orleans is planning to attack Burgundy with the goal of expanding his land in the near future, and that he has begun the construction of fortifications which his army will be able to fall back upon should his devious plans not come to fruition. Fearing this, an ultimatum was sent to King Philippe from the Court of Burgundy, demanding that these fortifications under construction be immediately demolished, and that plans for more fortifications be put aside.

Our greatest fears were confirmed when King Philippe refused this reasonable demand. Naturally, the Kingdom of Burgundy has no desire for fighting. Yet, when one of our neighbors so openly plots against our sovereignty, we must take military action to preserve it. Therefore, it is my duty to deliver this, a Declaration of War by The Kingdom of Burgundy to the Kingdom of Orleans, in the hopes that it will be seen for what it is, a righteous act of self-defense against blatant aggression.

Signed,

Queen-Regent of The Kingdom Of Burgundy

That's it, I'm going to wear my face mask instead of that veil. On another note, I declare NEUTRALITY in this war between Orleans and Burgundy for this year. May they resolve their dispute as swiftly and bloodlessly as possible.

The cause of Protestantism in France is now in dire peril at the risk of Burgundian aggression. Stand with us or you will be the next to fall to their menace.



I'm still missing quite a few sets of orders here. Most of these are fairly significant. I've managed to complete the outline with what orders I have, but I'm currently holding off, as one last chance for you stragglers.
 
Y'know most of us are probably busy these next few days. Forget everything I've said. I'm pushing the order deadline back to this coming Thursday. For those wondering, I've got my first career related job interview on Monday and still have much to do this weekend to prepare. Therefore, rather than just delaying things little by little, let's just make the delay official.
