Inca Statement on the Celtonian Declaration of Blockade - 1928
The Celtonian declaration of blockade is nothing other than an attempt to goad a cassus belli by conducting an act of war against the Inca Nation. It does this not out of love for the Portuguese or any general moral principle (for why then would Celtonia be so unconcerned about the chaos in France?) but to provide grounds upon which it may deny the democratic will of the people of Cuzco as expressed in the 1920 plebiscite and thwart the will of the majority of its own people who hunger for peace and an end to ceaseless imperialist excursions abroad and rightly harbour desire for nothing but friendly neighbourly relations with the peace-loving Inca nation and all the nations of the world.
The duplicity of the Celtonian government, both towards the Inca State and towards its own people is clearly manifest in its own diplomatic policies. With one hand when its egregious suggestion to impose upon our sovereignty was rightly and firmly rejected it proposed to use its influence to disarm the ethnically Portuguese rebels on the proviso that a plebiscite overseen by observors from a neutral state be enacted following a cessation of hostilities, a not unreasonable proposal. Yet immediately on the other hand, before a response to its amended proposal could even be drafted, it preposterously declared that the suppression by the Inca State of rebellion in its own territory would entail nothing less than an act of war against Celtonia and merit a military response. This shows nothing but bad faith. Let this declaration by the Aonach be a warning to all states of the hypocrisy of the current Celtonian government, which claims to love peace and yet pursues war in every quarter. It claims to defend democracy whilst it simultaneously undermines the ardent popular will of the Inca people and indeed of nations everywhere throughout the world as seen in its coercion of the legitimate Mexican government in favour of communist radicals, in policy impositions made in the past into the internal affairs of numerous small countries defenseless against its coercion and yes, also in its cynical attempt to provoke the Inca to war and manipulate Celtonia's domestic politics thereby.
Any nation, including Celtonia, should any nation be so bold as to declare a blockade on one of its territories, would deem a declaration of the kind the Aonach has declared as a violation of all civilised principles of diplomacy and an expression of nothing less than astounding hubris. The Incan Nation thus condemns it absolutely. Yet despite the perfidy of the warmongering Celtonian government, which cannot hide its malintent and its disdain for the popular will of the nations in its actions, the Inca Nation has proven again and again by its leaderships wise policies that it, united under our government, is a peaceloving people which desires nothing but peace and concord with its neighbours. It will not be goaded to vain and foolish action against the Celtonian incursion into our sovereign waters and provide thereby the cassus belli for war Celtonia's rulers hope for by which they might on the flimsiest grounds spuriously justify yet another imperialist venture of their own making to the Celtonian people.
Let it be clear to all that if Celtonia enacts war against the Inca, it shall not be us who is the instigator but a corrupt and cynical regime in Navua whose contempt and disdain for the principles of national sovereignty and for the democracy it claims to profess have been made clearly and unambiguously manifest.

In the midst of the Incan hyperbole, the Celtonian government reminds the Inca that the disarmament of the Portuguese must require the presence of an observer force to guarantee this is occurring, and to prevent third parties from meddling in the situation by shipping in weapons of their own. The Portuguese will not trust their former colonial masters to disarm them - a point we are certain the Inca can well understand.
If indeed this policy of disarmament leading to plebiscite remains acceptable to the Inca, we look forward to negotiating on this basis. In the meantime, we will act decisively to impose an end to the violence.

The Path of the Bear
by Murdoch Callahan
[The excerpt below is the first in a series of belligerent pamphlets widely distributed in Navua in 1928.]
We begin with simplicity, as nature does:
True Druidism is NOT pacifism!
True Druidism is NOT isolationism!
True Druidism is NOT anti-imperialism!
Druidism in its ancient emergence and today is the worship of nature and a dedication to its protection.
Yet now, there are some groves which espouse vegetarianism so as not to do violence to innocent creatures! Again I say, to innocent creatures!
Is this, then, nature? To pull out the incisors from one's own mouth and deny their existence, or file them flat like that of a grazing cow?
Does the goshawk lay down with the mouse?
Does the bear sign a treaty with the salmon?
Does the leopard of the Hattian plains ask the consent of the antelope to snap its neck with a bite?
NO!
The bones of Celtonian mastadons chipped by our spears attest to our ascension through the hunt. Man is violence, innately a predator being.
Nay, it is liberalism which coddles this fear of violence in the human man - the rise of cities, entertainments, diversions, and all that which separates us from our original place as inhabitants of nature. Liberalism which insulates the Celtonians from the human need to hunt, to struggle, to strive, that is in the heart of OUR nature! This pacifist so-called Neo-Druidism is, as I call it, Liberal Druidism! Yet it is a defiance and a defilement of nature!
And now, consider what it has brought about on the world stage! As the UNION, ever the champion of PEACE and NATURE, has retreated from her borders, her protectorates, what has risen! More destructive industry! More competition! Ever more cities! The decline of morality! Under the banner of a BLESSED PEACE, we have set the stage for countless small empires to spread the fire further! Nay, a retreat into the groves will not serve Druidism! It will serve the DESTRUCTION of Druidism under the banner of FALSE NATURALISTIC LIBERALISM!
Only ONE HEGEMON can protect nature and control the industrial development, the rampant CAPITALISM with which these LIBERAL PACIFISTS seek to consume our Mother! ONE nation, ONE force, to sit atop the lesser nations as an APEX PREDATOR.
And I ask you LIBERALISTIC FALSE DRUIDISTS, WHAT happens when the top predator is slain? THE RABBITS MULTIPLY, AND THE NATURAL BALANCE IS OVERTHROWN.
Nature and NATURE'S GUARDIAN, the UNION, is herself a slumbering bear. She sleeps, perhaps in hibernation, or in protecting her children, but the fact that she sleeps does not mean that roused she is not to be FURIOUS!
But do not, EVER, not to the face of any working Celtonian, or any follower of Draoi in any nation, claim that OUR NATURE is to WORSHIP PEACE AS A FALSE GOD INSTEAD OF NATURE!
OUR HUMAN NATURE is not green, but RED.
And the nature of the UNION, is not to whimper, but to ROAR.

Unilateral Declaration of Non-Aggression, Non-Intervention, and Non-Entanglement
Issued by the High Warden of the Magistracy of Peace, in name of the Holy Kingdom of Hatti, Approved by the Nabar-GAL and the TawanannaIt has come to our attention that with the rising tensions around the world and around our borders, there has been an increasing hearsay regarding Hatti’s intentions, ambitions, or posture on the world stage. Therefore, I am declaring the intention of the Holy Kingdom of Hatti to pursue the threefold principles of Non-Aggression, Non-Intervention, and Non-Entanglement in foreign affairs.
Non-Aggression - The Holy Kingdom of Hatti is fully satisfied and has no interest in any changes to their internationally recognized borders that were established at the end of Second World War. Any incidents that may occur should be recognized as not the official policy of the Holy Kingdom’s government. We are willing to cooperate with an approved third party to investigate and arbitrate any incidents, and pay appropriate recompense in action but not land.
Non-Intervention - The Holy Kingdom of Hatti is not responsible for the welfare and safety of Arrinist worshippers outside of her borders. Mere “reports” of persecution are easily falsified and exaggerated by the global media landscape, and will not serve any role in the official policy or posture of the Holy Kingdom. Namely, we recognize the right of other nations to establish their own religious and domestic policies, as according to their culture and traditions. However, we will maintain an open border for any Arrinist in other nations who wish to migrate to our own, and hope that free movement is maintained in nations that have promised that right. Additionally, we warn that obvious and obscene persecutions would attract the attention of not only the Holy Kingdom of Hatti, but the world community and rightly so.
Non-Entanglement - The Holy Kingdom of Hatti sees no reason to tie their fates to another nation with their own culture and concerns. Although it is interested in maintaining peaceful, if not friendly relations with all nations, it has no interest in either drawing other nations to war, or being used as a weapon in another nation’s interests. Our Wardens are still open to establishing friendly and productive bilateral agreements on many other fronts.

Thanks so much for all the input so far! Just a reminder the orders deadline is ~24 hours from the time of this post. If I've missed any questions please do let me know here or on discord.

Normandie is willing to purchase 2x Steamers for $2, if you are willing to accept a delay in the payment to the following year (1929). This is because all of our (2) ships are currently needed to guard our coast. If you have a free ship available you are welcome to come to Besancon to collect the funds this turn.
Molde is willing to buy Ironclad class ships for $1 per ship, if anyone is willing to sell!

(Literally: The Ordinary Chieftain
Often translated as: The Chieftain/The Hofding/Breki's Voyage/The Voyage)
A folksy, popular work by Breki Þjálfason, a modern writer with a penchant for the humorous. It is a pseudohistorical episodic adventure novel, set in the Proto-Germanic migratory period, taking quite a few liberties with the setting (for one, it features longships, cannons, and Christians). "The Chieftain" tells the story of Harald, the epynomous young and ordinary chieftain, who leaves his cruel father to explore the seas, getting into hijinks with strange people.
While just a fun ride similar to OTL's Gulliver's Travels and The Hobbit, it has quite a few elements of poetry woven into it, as well as a clear political message represented by Breki's captaincy and his ship, which is given quite a bit of attention. The longship, named Saga, is of a particular design because it has three masts, named skipper, sailor, and shanty.
Each chapter has Breki and his crew encounter a strange nation, often a jovially thinly-veiled caricature of a contemporary, who has some issue Breki becomes entwined in; like a village who divines their decisions from a local tree, resulting in the king having had a bucket over his head for a decade; or a rabid lone soldier firing catapults to protect a single burned-down shack. At the end of each chapter, whether Breki solves the situation or not, he leaves the exotic location only to return to his travels, his crew and himself self-determined and free.
Breki's adventures and his longship is (blunt) symbolism is about national democracy. Four chapters in the book deals with Breki losing his captainship to the cook over a vote, which is treated amicably, although with some jokes about the cook being overtly concerned with fish soup. The vision of liberty is a Scandinavian one; not one of supremacy and the sword, but quietly and peacefully dealing with a common life with a snide joke every once in a while - and naturally, lots and lots of mead. In one chapter, the only one set solely on Saga, the masts have their symbolic meaning made explicit, where Breki discusses what "holds up the sails" with the cook; skipper representing individual self-direction of the captain, sailor representing the strength of the ship crew, and shanty representing a common ground for everyone to simply enjoy, even if it's not the nicest or most well-sounding song in the world. As Breki notes, the ship's sails would be worthless without the masts, even if they're just poles holding up the cloth.

As summarized in a book review
"I find that the three masts of the Hofding makes three claims of what is promised to people.
There is a promise of self-determination of a person. It is natural for a captain to sail wherever he wants to, as that is what a ship can do in the sea. Everyone has a right to vote.
There is a promise of communal interest. It is impossible for a ship to sail by the captain alone, so the health and happiness of the crew must be ensured. No one person should override the multitude.
There is a promise of belonging. Freedom is pointless if it's bereft of what makes daily life special. Everyone has a right to their culture, no matter how lowly - no matter how drunk."
-
In context of the zeitgeist, The Chieftain is picked up by some politicians in passing when making their principles clear. Democratic participation is a right; self-determination is a right; material prosperity is a right; and in all this, common heritage is not to be avoided. Some claims are made explicit as to the pan-Nordic movement: that a commonwealth or maybe even a union is held in high regard (by the third principle), but that such a direction should only be done voluntarily. And at a world stage, Scandinavia preaches democracy first and foremost.

The issue was debated in Norseland's parliament and the vote to contribute troops, led by the pro-Celtic lobby has narrowly failed against cross-party opposition.
The Acadian Consail, Hillary Schmidt-Douglas, has used executive powers to authorise the temporary deployment of the Acadian Higlanders regiment to serve alongside Celtic troops in Mexico. With signs the Liberal party is divided in its support for this venture, the Consail has decided to only send that single unit.

Cultural Moments of the World Tour
Although the international press took great interest in the activities of the Royal Family, several moments stood out.Hilammaru-Kappu - The Door Guard’s Visitor
Demonstrated by the nephews of the Royal Family at Oslo, the Hilammaru-Kappu is a popular game played with 3 roles and a ball.Usually, it is played with two teams. Each team has a “palace” where their “Guardsmen” would guard the “Basketmen”. The job of the team’s “Visitors” to place “gifts” into a basket in the enemy’s Palace without being blocked by the Guardsmen or Visitors of the enemy’s team. However, the Visitors are not allowed to enter into the Palace, which establishes the defining dynamic of the game - how the Basketmen can discretely communicate maneuvers with their Visitors to shake off the Guards.
A smaller variant of the game consists of only one palace, defending by a guardsman and a defending visitor. The enemy visitor has to use every trick available to get their gift into the basket! Whenever a change in possession occurs, the Basketman and Guardsman exchange their roles and the field resets.
Larger variants of the game can have multiple people per role, multiple palaces, or even multiple balls in play for an exciting spectacle. Some variants do not allow Guardsmen to use their hands, instead bearing a staff that they must use to deflect the ball (and if they are hit in the body, they must sit down, making their job harder). Other variants have one guardsman protect a basket man from multiple enemy visitors, which are all competing with each other for the ball.
There is some comparison with the Maya Ballgame known as Pitz, but the designated basket carrier is a significant difference in the dynamics of the game when in play. Although the Hilammaru-Kappu may not overtake Pitz in the hearts of international athletes, it still made its moment.
New York International Science Fair
At the great metropolis of Kiel-New York, the International Science Fair and celebration of the deeper cooperation between American and German scientists received another international visitor: The Tawananna’s family has tweaked their schedule to make sure to arrive in time. It seems that several of the younger members of the family wanted to see the marvels of international science, and where better than in New York?Source
Although the Hatti Delegation did not have much to offer and mostly observed with various levels of interest and awe, they did pass out a few golden statuettes to the inventors of exhibits that impressed them, and established a small scholarship with some gold to help promote international scholarship - Hattian students to study in New York, and German-American students to take a summer or year to study history in Hatti.
Hittite Traditional Cookware
As one of the earliest Iron Age Cultures, the Hittites maintained highly sophisticated and traditional set of cookware made from Iron and Ceramics, as well as Bronze and Copper. Each type of metal is prized and utilized for their specific properties, forming a dazzling variety for presentation and serving at the banquets hosted by the Royal Family.Soon after the departure of the Royal Family from Celtonia, the first international orders for Hattian cookware would start to trickle into Hattusa. The relatively small scale industry mostly built for the domestic market found itself flush with orders and investment dollars, expanding to meet the increasingly ravenous demand of the international market for their work.
