Your threats regarding Sardinia are not needed in anyway, shape or form, since
1) Sardinia has already come to a ceasefire with the Italian Republic.
2) The ratification of the Friedman proposal does not require Sardinia to act in any way, considering Sardinia is already at peace with the Italian Republic and was never at war with Naples.
Cease and desist immediately.
III. A. THE CONTINENTAL POWERS WILL DECLARE NEUTRALITY regarding any conflict between any member of the ALLIED NATIONS and the Kingdom of Austria, where NEUTRALITY is here taken to mean: the complete and total abrogation of all aid - material, diplomatic, political, or otherwise - with deliberate, intended, or perceived bias towards one or more of the belligerent factions. The ALLIED NATIONS will agree to issue no declaration of war against the Kingdom of Austria that is not in accordance with the mutual-defense agreements of the ALLIED NATIONS or is not a consequence of Austrian intervention in the ongoing war between the Kingdom of Naples and the Papal States.

IV. THE CONTINENTAL POWERS WILL DECLARE NEUTRALITY in the Italian conflict.
To Brazil
From the Confederation
We are not distributing any form of material, diplomatic, or political aid to any Italian faction in advising a ceasefire, which brings no benefit to any party except the general benefit of peace, and which, as far as I can see, is in any case generally what all the parties in the conflict desire, even if some of them see obstacles to the realisation of this aim. Furthermore, we certainly neither intend nor mean any offence to Brazil on account of this.
The fact Flanders was chosen is proof your idea that the league was some tool of the confederation is no more than a conspiracy theory, and a bad one at that.To: Franco-Burgundy
From: The United Kingdom
That's plainly not true. You intended to use the League as your personal whacking stick, to defy the Treaty of Tuileries with all appearance of legality. Now that Flanders is chairman, we can see that your little plot has been undermined somewhat; but nevertheless we refuse to recognize the League as the gestalt, peaceful international cooperative that you would have us believe. Nations are nations, and League observers are naught but observers of the country that bore them.
The Franco Burgundians have sent no aid of any sort to any of the Italian states. While I admit they are testing the limits of the treaty, they are not doing anything to break it. So it's still a bad conspiracy theory.To: Italian Republic
From: The United Kingdom
Franco-Burgundy's continued forays into matters forbidden from its consideration by the Treaty of Tuileries support our theory.
Until broken, it is not broken. Looking for the limits of the treaty is a fair way of getting what they can while still not breaking it.We never suggested they have. By your own admission, they are testing its limits, which as far as we are concerned is tantamount to breaking it eventually.
