Phew, I was worried for a moment.
I forgot to say before, but great update EQ
To: Turkey, the Pontic Republic, Rome
CC: The World
From: Spain
We congratulate you on signing peace in Anatolia, with the end of the brutal Roman Civil Wars. Perhaps now, peace in Greece and Anatolia can be achieved.
We would like to add that we are formally guaranteeing the borders of Turkey, both from within and without, and congratulate them on gaining their newfound independence.

OOC: In 1910 I sent it to Brazil. Would that have made a difference? I have no idea how you guys are setting up the distribution.

Funny, I never received 100 EP from you.
EDIT: I've been spending the money assuming Britain has been sending me my quarter. It makes no logical sense that you'd send Brazil the EP one year without warning.

Why? You're supposed to send it to Britain. We then dole it out to our allies. But the point is, you're supposed to send it to us. That's how we've had it arranged the whole time...
...and this only makes it seem fishier.

Scandinavian Steelworkers League
Welcome, colleague! Whether you, the reader, are a citizen of the Workers Commonwealth or an unfortunate soul currently oppressed by the global plutocracy, you are about to be given a rare chance to see the future of one of the world's greatest cities. Stockholm, capital of the Workers Commonwealth, is undergoing a fundamental transformation not unlike the nation that it is a part of. Whle the Revolution of the Proletariat continues in Scandinavia (under the enlightened leadership of colleague Mannerheim and his Five Year Plan) and across the world, the epicenter of the Revolution evolves and advances into the future as well. Here in Stockholm, the free workers of Scandinavia in the labor unions of the Workers Trade Congress are laboring tirelessly and with joy to create the City of Tomorrow. What will that city of the future be like? The Scandinavian Steelworkers League offers the reader a prophetic glimpse into the future of the world and the proletariat.
Guide To
Stockholm in the Year 1920It has long been the aim of the world's great architects to challenge the capabilities of a building. Chiefly, these attempts have been to expand the heights to which great buildings scrape the heavens. Here in Stockholm, the workers (architects, laborers and mathematicians all in equal fellowship) of the Scandinavian Steelworkers League are currently constructing the Workers Commonwealth's new Mannniskorstag, which once completed, will be the tallest building in the world. The Manniskorstag stands as testament to the tenacity, initiative and innovation of the workers. It is not enough for the common man of Scandinavia to marvel at the achievements of other nations, but instead he seeks to outdo them. It is this spirit of competition that will drive the Revolution of the Proletariat into the future, as the workers of all nations seek to outdo each other, for the glory of their country, and for their own personal achievement. The proletarist system here in Scandinavia rewards these innovators with work, where they can test their mettle against whatever challenges they may seek to face. From each according to his ability, all workers are challenged to perform their best. From each according to need, all workers are provided for as necessary, as a part of the proletarist system, the great national and human machinery that is the backbone of all human accomplishment. Even the artist is employed in the effort to break the bounds of current human achievement, as the great minds of paper and pen put into ink the final product of this particular grain of the great struggle of the Revolution (which is not only the struggle for proletarian equality and the end of wage slavery, but the struggle of all human progress and innovation).
The Manniskorstag, or Peoples Government, upon completion
But the great and awesome Manniskorstag is only a part of the innovations or architectural and municipal design which will be a feature of the city of the Stockholm by the Year of Our Lord 1920. Already, the workers of the Scandinavian Steelworkers League are setting about plans for the construction of great housing and apartment blocs throughout the city, which will be freely available to all workers, any member of any labor union throughout the Workers Commonwealth. These homes will be given freely to the people of the Workers Commonwealth, as a gift from the goodwill of one man to another, not from the heavy, guilt-burdened heart of some rich philanthropist. The very work and soul of the Revolution is philanthropy, untainted by guilt. The capitalists and plutocrats of the Empire may have sought to better the life of the poor and the destitute, but their interest was merely temporary and primarily to assuage their own conscience. Now, under the leadership of the Revolutionary Government, all workers can strive to provide for their fellow man in equality and fellowship.
And so we envision a capital city, a Revolutionary City, whose skyline will be tall and imposing. A sign not of the success of the rich and few over the backs of the poor and many, but a sign of the collective, equal and honest triumph of all humanity over the forces that seek to oppress, enslave and bedevil it. While the Revolution of the Proletariat may concern itself primarily with the struggle to free the workers from wage slavery and political repression, it is also concerned with questions of science and philosophy. Many plan renovations and expansions to the great universities of the Workers Commonwealth (not a small part of the Revolutionary effort of the Hallowed Year of 1910!). Soon, the halls of learning of htis great nation will be modernized and renovated. That which is considered historic and worth preserving will be kept, as instruction and warning to future generations, and that which is considered antiquated and obsolete will be replaced, modernized and improved. The workers shall build an environment, a nation and ideal, in which they shall be motivated out of the love they bear their country and their fellow man to work to better themselves and their Fatherland.
What will it be like to live in this city? Beyond the pride its inhabitants will necessarily bear to their home, for being the Revolutionary City not only of architecture and culture but of the Revolution of the Proletariat, they must also necessarily experience pride or at least comfort from the various and necessary amenities that the workers shall give from one man to another. Parks, street lights and avenues, all the scenic diversions that make life in a great city unique and edifying. These things the workers shall provide for one another. As colleague Mannerheim's Five Year Plan, and the overarching Revolution of the Proletariat, will provide all workers with possible employment (from the labor unions to the Fädernesland Proletär Arme), the scourge of poverty will be eradicated. The people of Stockholm, and of the Workers Commonwealth in its entirety, will no longer find it necessary to pile vagrancies full of the poor and destitute. Instead these facilities can be put to beter use, as research laboratory of psychological and medical ills.
Yes, the Stockholm of 1920 is truly a city we can all be proud of, even now as we lay its foundations. Its great towers, and foliage-covered boulevards, shall be (and are) a testament to the glory of the Revolution of the Proletariat and the tireless struggle of its workers and leaders. To the reader in the Workers Commonwealth, we say, continue to fight for the glory of the Revolution. To the foreigner, we say that we hope someday you shall join us in this glorious struggle. The world can then be one in freedom and unity, and all of mankind can enjoy freely the fruits of their labor. Länge leve revolutionen!

This is excellent news. The Workers Commonwealth salutes the government and people of the Netherlands, and their just and honorable quest to ensure the welfare of the workers in their nation. We have no doubt that the historic friendship between Scandinavia and the Netherlands will continue well into the future.

Our concern merely coincides with the rise of the American Underground in the Northeast. It is likely that weapon smuggling will increase with the increasing unrest and activity of the Underground. We are not accusing Vinland of complacency, but merely wish to keep our northern neighbors aware of our concerns, so that no misunderstanding should arise.

Out of respect for our ongoing peaceful relationship, we will review our current customs systems, to ensure that they are functioning as intended at preventing illegal trade and border crossing.

Re: All-Slavic Games
We know that the Slavs are the strongest and most athletic people of the world and deserve a stage to showcase our talents. We feel that the rest of the world will only continue to politicize and manipulate the Olympics to exclude nations that are less than popular, violating the very spirit those games were built upon. Therefore, we hereby invite your nations to send athletes to compete in the All-Slavic Games we will be hosting in Moscow this year, so that we may show, together, that our peoples are the best in the world.

From: Sardinia
Sardinia is disappointed to find Italian citizens responsible for attempts to overthrow a legal colonial government. We had hoped that the Italian government would be careful enough to prevent such acts from taking place, but since we see that that is not the case, we are forced to increase security measures in Tunis and continue to seize any Italian ships found to be smuggling weapons.
