And were the monarchist parties or the Phoenixes allowed to participate in the Republican elections? We doubt it. The only 'democracy' tolerated by the Republicans is one where only traitors to Spain will win.

Do you have any evidence for this claim?

 

[Lord of Elves]

OOC: Indeed. I think it's all settled down now though.

To be quite honest, I don't precisely think the Second World War is upon us yet, though. No-one's declared war on me.

No, no, no, no, no!

Let's strangle this "world war" nonsense in its awful, eponymous cradle. It is the Great War, and were another war of its magnitude to follow it, that conflict would be the Second Great War. "World war" is an awful colloquialism and you should all feel awful.

From Switzerland:
To the world:
To celebrate the completion of our new road network this year, we happy announce that we will be holding a grand automobile relay race around our small nation. All nations and/or individuals who wish to participate are free to enter. please have your teams assembled and at the start line by July.

 

[TheLizardKing]

Judging by the sudden courage a few nations have started to display, I'd be really surprised if another Great War didn't break out this turn.

Those Germans getting all uppity, right? These guys. :3

To: Jacksonia
From: Grand Republic of Florida

Recently, there has been discussion regarding domestic monetary policy in the Grand Republic of Florida. Economic thought has suggested that the gold standard is not only an antiquated system but one that prevents greater monetary control over a nation's respective economy, which could potentially be used in a manner that could better promote economic stability and growth. Our legislature has been considering abandoning the gold standard and forming a central banking system based on fiat money. The central bank would be responsible for controlling the money supply via its authority over the banking system. This central bank would be responsible for not only printing the currency, but controlling the general money supply. The central bank would have two mandates: first, to promote price stability; and second, to promote full employment. This could result in better livelihoods for the members of the economy.

Furthermore, a central banking system would likely result in closer ties between our two nations, if we chose to jointly adopt a central bank. Our citizens would have more access to each other's economies, with the shared currency. And we could better practice monetary policy that would mutually benefit our respective economies. Therefore, we would like to propose that Jacksonia and the Grand Republic of Florida jointly charter what could be called the Columbian Central Bank, to promote stronger economic access and economic stability in our respective nations. Part of this would be the adoption of a common currency, what could be called the Columbian Dollar. What say you to this proposal?

OOC: EQ, my stats are... weird. I'm a republic, but apparently no one is in charge.

From: Grand Republic of Florida

We eagerly await your response.

No, no, no, no, no!

Let's strangle this "world war" nonsense in its awful, eponymous cradle. It is the Great War, and were another war of its magnitude to follow it, that conflict would be the Second Great War. "World war" is an awful colloquialism and you should all feel awful.

OOC: Here, here!

And regarding this Denver treaty; I can't wait to see how the deeply entrenched military establishment in the ATA will react to this, although if the Federal Government accepted it, I suppose anything is possible.

And at the party, Florida is deep-frying the baby back ribs.

 

[spryllino]

OOC: TLK, if Germany attacks the R-R pact without a declaration of war, or declares after the 24-hour warning, I shall consider it extremely dishonourable and unsportsmanlike. I may be mistaken in interpreting your comments to indicate that you may do something of that sort, but I would like it if you would assure me that you intend, in good faith, to play fair.

We recognize neither Spanish faction as the legitimate Spanish successor, and see it as the business of Spain to resolve. We will recognize whichever state emerges.

OOC: Just unfinished business.

 

[TheLizardKing]

I don't know how much clearer I could have been Spry. We are going to react to any invasion of Spanish territory, as an invasion of our own territory.

We eagerly await your response.

To: Florida
From: Jacksonia

We gladly accept. To prosperity for both our nations.

OOC @the treaty: I'm still getting caught up, and not quite sure what's going on, so no response from Jacksonia yet.

 

[Luckymoose]

I don't know how much clearer I could have been Spry. We are going to react to any invasion of Spanish territory, as an invasion of our own territory.

Which means you plan to declare war on the Confederation. They are invading Monarchist Spain, thus you have no other choice. He is requesting that you do it in the open and not after the deadline or in a sneak attack like a child.

 

[TheLizardKing]

I didn't speak to you, South American.

 

[Luckymoose]

Guess I'll send a few more battleships, then.

 

[Lord of Elves]

Gentlemen, we can all be reasonable about this. Lay down your arms and accept the bloody and dramatic peaceful and melodious triumph of the Revolution which shall demand unwavering discipline and determination emancipate mankind from suffering and want.

 

[Quisani]

"World war" is an awful colloquialism and you should all feel awful.

[Nailix]

To: Those involved with Spain
From: Italy

Italy wants to restate that we were involved to help ensure no other nations were to get involved with the Spanish Civil War, but since it is obvious that other nations wish to interject into Spanish affairs we will have to act upon the defensive pact we have with our allies of Monarchist Spain should they be attacked. We do not with for a war to break out, but we will not turn our backs on our allies in their time of need.

 

[ZeletDude]

To: All those involved
From: The Netherlands

Although we are not involved in this Spanish matter directly we will state that should any attacks be made against Occitania, or The Franco-Burgundian Confederation we will honor the defensive alliance we have set up with both of them. As Italy stated, we wish to avoid war but we will not turn our backs on our allies.

 

[TerrisH]

OOC: and.. now I'm surounded on all sides by hostile powers. stuck firmly in the middle of the new great war.

To Italy
From Swiss:
In Light of you joining the developing Second Great War, we wish to formaly state to you our Neutrality in the conflict, and notify you that we will be closing our borders to all military traffic.

 

[Luckymoose]

TO: Italy and Germany
FROM: Brazil

You were not allied to the Emperor, but to the elected government that has reigned for decades. Philip has destroyed everything his family worked towards in the last century, and now you aid them in the destruction of liberty on the continent. If Brazilian aid, escorted by our fleet, is attacked by either German or Italian military vessels a state of war will exist between our nations. While we do not plan to send soldiers to Europe, under such conditions there would be no choice but to neutralize the military ability of your states. You have been warned.

 

[Crezth]

Judging by the sudden courage a few nations have started to display, I'd be really surprised if another Great War didn't break out this turn.

Don't attack the merchant marine and we'll be hunky-dory.
