OOC 1: For a moment, I thought you were being serious. Until I read the (/end OOC) tag.
OOC 2: Am I the only one that thought of the Daleks?

 

[EQandcivfanatic]

I would have included a picture of a Dalek in a Pope hat, but I'm terrible with photoshop.

Edit: NVM. Also, to do all that in CAPS, you have to leave some non-caps letters.

We can agree to that.

To: The World
From: Empire of Holy Spain

We wish to state that we plan to restart the blockade of the coast of the Governors' faction. This is being done to bring a swift end to the war. We will, as much as possible, attempt to do this with no violence in order to redirect all ships to other ports and in order to prevent a repeat of the events that led to the war between Spain, Brazil and the United Kingdom. Please, do not attempt to force the issue.

To: Florida
From: Empire of Holy Spain

Cease your support of the privateers and pirates that currently prowl the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, or we will be forced to act.

 

[Double A]

TO: Catholic World
FROM: Pedro II, Emperor of the Brazilians, Defender of Liberty

Such anti-democratic propaganda is the tool of Satan. Our duty to our church and to the holy see must not blind us to the truths of this world. Our Lord spoke of liberty in his days walking these lands, of kinship between man and of freedom from oppression. The right to vote, to have your voice heard by those that do you wrong, is what our savior spoke of on the mount. Aiding thy neighbor in friendship and cooperation, building a better Christian world with our brothers in faith. How can a man usurp power from the children of God when he knows these truths? Men have the right to speak out of crimes against them. Princes have the duty to listen.

You do realize you're calling the Pope Satan here, right?

YES.

 

[Luckymoose]

You do realize you're calling the Pope Satan here, right?

I am calling the propaganda a tool of Satan. No one is Satan. Just as the Pope called democracy the tool of Satan.

 

[Double A]

So you're using propaganda to call propaganda Satanic?

Propaganda is fun.

[Crezth]

So you're using propaganda to call propaganda Satanic?

Propaganda is fun.

Silly Double A, you should know: propaganda is always information when used in the first person, such as "our propaganda." It is only in the third person, such as "their propaganda," that it is misinformation.

To: Any interested nations
From: Empire of Holy Spain

This year, the Empire of Holy Spain is going to initiate a program to create a railway system that allows easy communication between the main cities and industrial centers of the Empire. The reason behind this message is to know whether any nation would be willing to have the same railway width gauge as us. The benefits of this, all of which are derived from the fact that there would be no time spent in moving passengers and merchandise from one train to other, would be enormous:

• Increased trade between those nations that do this.
• Increased number of passengers that move across the border.
• Reduced time of passage across the border.
• Reduced costs of transport.

Hopefully, many nations will join this idea, as it would mean a great thing for all of them.

 

[Circuit]

To: Empire of New Spain
From: United States of America

We are interested, and suggest that Spain and the United States standardize their American railway gauges to better facilitate over-the-border travel and commerce.

OOC: @Crezth: Well put.

 

[spryllino]

Paris and Burgundy suggest that Spain might like to adopt the Standard Flemish Guage, and in fact it would do everyone a very large amount of good if everyone did the same, provided that Flanders and the Netherlands do not object.

 

[EQandcivfanatic]

Austria, Bavaria, and Naples hereby declare war upon the new illegitmate Kingdom of Italy. We will not rest until Papal order has been restored and a new era of peace and stability brought through the reorganization of government on the Italian peninsula.

Switzerland declares war on the above in support of their Italian allies.

 

[spryllino]

- In support of our allies Austria and Bavaria;
- Because the King of Savoy-Milan has annexed the territory of His Holiness the Pope in contravention of a non-aggression pact;
- Because the King of Savoy-Milan has declared his intention to illegally defend the Etrurian revolutionaries against those nations with which he has signed a non-aggression pact;
- Because the it is our duty as Catholics to defend the Pope;
I, King Louis of Paris and Burgundy, hereby issue a declaration of war on the Kingdom of Savoy-Milan.

From: Empire of Holy Spain

Perhaps it is the time for you to admit that the idea of annexing the Papal States is not a good one. Are you really wishing for a fourth war to happen to you in less than twenty years?
