To the Union of the Rhine and All Concerned Parties
From the Empire of All the Russias


The Court of St. Petersburg values peace above almost anything else. However, we feel that this conference is a waste of time of the involved powers. Any concensus reached will be artificial and we predeict that within three years it will be abandoned. We will, however, send a representative to observe the actions taken at the conference. The Romanov Crown will in all forseeable situations not sign a treaty that results from such a conference. We pray that the Theotokos work to preserve the peace of the world and save its peoples, be they good Christians or idolatrous heathens.

OOC: As I understand it Kentharu joined the St. Petersburg Axis because he valued the alliance of the giant on his doorstep, and since he was offered re-admittance to the Axis, he took it. That was not OOC, that was just smart. Also, while the Shogun had the real power, I suggest we remember that the emperor has always been the official head of state, including during Japan's alliance with Russia, so there is a precedent.
 
To All European States
From The Kingdom of Portugal

Our position in this conflict should be clear and without a single doubt. We do not feel it is either our place to side with the Axis, nor with those who have wronged us in the past. On these issues, we will declare our (reluctive) neutrality. We also feel that it would not be in our best interests to attend any meeting and thus we will not be attending it. Also we wish for our neutrality to be recognized to prevent any conflicts form occuring.
 
To the Kingdom of Portugal
From the Empire of All the Russias
CC: the International Community


The Court of St. Petersburg he by recognizes the right to neutrality and the choice of neutrality by your kingdom. If this is threatened, we will do all within our power te preserve Portuguese neutrality as it helps to preserve the European balance of power.
 
From The Japanese Empire
To Portugal

We would like to purchase your pacific holdings. Name your price. If you do not wish to sell these colonies then we would like to sign a 3 year NAP with you in order to respect your neutrality.
 
To The Empire of Japan
From The Kingdom of Portugal

Unfortuantly, we can not offer our colonies for sale at this time. We will, however, agree to the NAP.
 
To the Union of the Rhine
From the Greater Austrian Reich

Indeed we had plans in place for the Kingdom of Saxony and the Empire of All Russias a 100 yeara ago, during the reign of Empress Maria Theresa the Great however we note that no such plans were ever brought to fruition and no such plans exist now.

Our proof which we will not post openly is a dialogue between Britian and a unnamed party showing intent of several nations including your own to divide the spoils of a possible muliti-party invasion of the Ottoman Empire. Futhermore it is well known with the German circles and by our intellgience service that you still lust after Saxon lands.

We will not attend your confrence and we ask all St.Petersburg Axis members to boycott this confrence. It shows to us that you are only intrested in breaking apart the axis so you can carry out the nerafous plans you have up your sleve.

In the end the St.Petersburg Axis is but a defensive alliance of peace loving nations intent on ensuring that such shcemes do not come to fruition. The only reason you would be afraid of a defensive alliance is if you were planning on attacking a member of that alliance. So what is the problem?
 
Why would a faction overthrow a government, ony to conduct the same foreign policy?!

Factions change, but national interests remain the same (except when they change too - but I fail to see any real changes for Japan).
 
Decleration of the French First Repeublic

I Emperor Alexius hereby authorize the following:

Structure of the Government

The Imperial Government of the French First Repeublic shall consist of three
branches, namely the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches.

The Legislative Branch


Shall consist of the Imperial Parliament, a
popularly-elected bicameral legislature. The lower house of Parliament, consists of 300 members representing the departments ofthe Empire, elected by popular vote and granted membership by proportional representation.

The upper house of Parliament, consists of 50 members representing the provinces of the Empire, elected by popular vote and granted membership by majoritary election. The Parliament creates all laws; for a bill to become law, it must pass both houses with a simple majority and be signed into law by the Badshah. If the Emperor vetoes a passed bill, it may still be passed with a 70% majority in the Lower House and 60% majority in the Upper House.

The Executive Branch

Shall consist of the Emperor, who serves as
Head-of-Government, Chief Executive, and Supreme Commander of Military Forces and the Advisory Council of Ministers, which serves as the Emperor’s cabinet. The Advisory Council of Ministers is appointed by the Emperor.

The Judicial Branch

Consists of the Supreme Imperial Court and the Lower Imperial Courts. The Supreme Imperial Court consists of 13 justices: 12 justices and the Chief Justice, who are appointed by the Emperor and
approved by the Upper House. The Supreme Imperial Court tries cases of
treason, establishes legal statutes, and reviews all laws passed by the Lower House and Upper House for constitutionality. The Lower Imperial Courts try all crimesin violation of Imperial law, crimes committed across the borders of multiple Provinces, and cases appealed upward from the Provincial courts.

The Monarchy

Still remains, and plays an important role in the formation of a government following general elections. Emperor is Head of State and the Sovereign, and Supreme Commander of Military. With the elected Parliament he now has a far better means of representing the people and the Parliament can now take on the administrative duties representing the will of the people. The Emperor also has veto power over Parliament and the ability to dissolve it and call for new elections or in times of emergency take absolute power.

Reorganization of the Provinces and Departments

The lands of the Empire have been reorganized so as to facilitate more
efficient and representative governance. The Empire now consists of Provinces, each subdivided into a number of Departments. A Province represents a large territorial area and often contains a number of different ethnic, cultural, religious, and sociopolitical groups; A Department represents a small, localized territorial area, built as much as possible around a single ethnic, cultural, religious, or sociopolitical group;

Provinces of the Empire

Each Province contains numerous Departments. The Departments within regions that contain minority groups are specifically designed to respect their concerns and problems within those territories, respectively.

The Rights of Man

1. All Citizens shall be afforded equal protection under the Law, regardless
of Race, Religion, Ethnicity, or Gender.
2. All Citizens shall have the Right to Petition their Government. Secession however is illegal.
3. All Citizens shall have the Right to freely Practice their Religion.
4. The Right of Suffrage, for those to whom it is legally Extended, shall
not be abridged.
5. All Citizens accused of Crimes shall have recourse to a Fair and Timely
Trial by Law, and no Citizen shall be held for extended periods of time
without formal Accusation being brought against them.
6. The practice of slavery is declared to be a barbaric and backward practice unworthy of a civillized society and hearby banned including in the colonies, no longer shall the trafficking, usage, and capturing of slaves be permitted. All slaves are heraby emancipated. The French government is prepared to reimburse slave owners.
7. Parliament shall make no Law Violating, Restricting, or Abriging the Bill of Rights unless in times of war and emergency.

From Union of the Rhine
To Austria


We ask that your foriegn minister open his eyes. Why would we try to create and support the creation of a new German League if we had plans to invade Saxony? This makes no sense and someone is feeding you lies to break up the German people. We do not have any intents to dissolve the Axis and are on friendly terms with every member except for you.

From Union of the Rhine
To France


We recognize the First Republic of France as the legitimate government of the nation of France.
