LOUIS XIII have issued several reforms to improve the terrible economic situation in France. The colonial assets will be strenghtened considerably, and new colonies will be established as well.

France will establish one or two colonies in north Africa to ease capture of slaves. France is looking at a location near Fort Etienne is suitable. Perhaps a little further north.

Talks have been made between the ruler of Savoy, Vittorio Amadeo I, and LOUIS XIII. France have made it clear it harbors territorial ambitions in the area. Savoy should be a part of France as it have been in the past. Hopefully this issue will be settled without any military conflict.

The English King, following their longest tradition, has passed the power into his best buddy, Yaroslav Drunkman, called that way because he was the only men in the country that tolerate the big amounts of alcohol that the king of England is able to tolerate (the englishmen always give their throne to the best drunker of the country)

In a strange moment where he was sober, Yaroslav Drunkam said to the noblesse of the court that "any attempt from foreign powers of getting a hold into Ireland or Scotland will be considered as an act of war, now back to the royal pub!!!"
