Why wasn't Portugal invited to this signing? Morocco is right next doors to us! We, Carlos the I, are most offended!

Otherwise we would have wanted to discuss what to do about those uppity American nations. Surely if Europe and all our loyal dominions, protectorates and territories invade them in unison they will be no more.

Brazil should be Portuguese, the rest of Latin America up to California Spanish, the Carribean British, French and Iberian, the eastern American coast British, Louisiana and the American plains French the heavily German midwest German and Alaska Russian, just as Greenland and Iceland are still Danish.

It is only the foolish infighting since the American and Mexican revolutions that have ejected us from this grand new world!

 

[TheLizardKing]

Surely Portugal jests.

Morocco did not think Portugal was nearly involved enough.

nvm plz delte.

While no slight was meant against Portugal's people or government, Portugal was not considered by any party involved to be necessary to the resolution.

To United States
From Brazil

The Portuguese ruler seems to have taken leave of his senses or possibly forgotten to take his medications.

We would be happy to work with the US in enforcing the Monroe Doctrine against Portugal. We furthermore see some value in a full alliance between our nations just in case any other European leader requires admission to a mental asylum.

Indeed. It should be a Spanish or even Portuguese protectorate, not a French one!

Perhaps Portugal would like to clear up a certain matter; the Office of Foreign Affairs may have to sack another class of translators, seeing as the two most recent missives from Portugal have alluded to an assault on the recognized and sovereign nations of the Americas, and have attempted to contest a ruling agreed upon at a congress of which Portugal was not an attendant.

Please find our apologies acceptable for what we're certain was a failure on the part of the Office of Foreign Affair's employees.

Best wishes, Felix Faure

Oddly we came across the same message, and being Portuguese speakers require no translation, naturally we assumed some manner of ill health of the mind on the part of the individual responsible, we hope they shall receive the mental care they so sorely need.

 

[Prinny]

Very well, we understand Portugal's advice on American matters are not accepted. We will take no action on our own.
But there will come a day when the old world assaults the new one, and on that day you will know that we were right, but it shall be little comfort as your shipping lanes are strangled and your women ravished in your broken fields.

As for Portugal she shall be safe behind her trenches and a fleet of steel.

The Morrocans have declared that they wish we had been included in the proceedings. Are you saying you don't care for Morocco's opinion? Morocco is natural Spanish territory, but we understand Spain has agreed to this signing, but regardless we advise and request that next time we be invited to at least observe the procedures.

We are not amused. Your obvious war mongering will not be accepted by the German Empire, or the whole of the Quadruple Alliance. You were not involved in the Moroccan situation, because it did not involve you. Location means nothing. Stand down.

 

[ZeletDude]

Prinny Morocco has agreed to be a French protectorate.. also please play a bit more in character and stop spamming the thread..

Also for everyone's FYI the first update is 1898.. not 1897..

We're unfortunately forced to conclude that the messages we are receiving from Portugal are indeed correctly translated, and must be some sort of poorly-advised joke.

Since we're neighbors, and we don't wish any ill will on the people of Portugal, here is your courtesy laugh from the French government:

Ha ha, sir. Ha, ha.
