ICNES II: A New Order

[silver 2039]

2b. The slave trade between Africa and America is hereby declared illegal and against the state. Therefore, any man caught smuggling slaves from one continent to another will face full prosecution by the court and, if found guilty, will be forced to live out the rest of their days as a slave.

The French Government is a major investor in the slave trade. Your declearation is unacceptable and unless declared void immediatleey we will move to protect our economics intreasts. French citizens are free to continue the slave trade as they please to our colonies and Spanish colonies and any ships flying the French flag is under our protection.

To Portugal
From the Holy Roman Empire

We will not tolerate your continued interference in the internal policies of the Holy Roman Empire. The Pope still retains control over the Vatican City and as Rome is merley a mortal city he has no place here. The city of God, that of the Vatican is the only true territorial claim of the Pope.

It is indeed the Pope that conquered the Papal Lands of the Holy Roman Empire some centuries ago. We are merely righting the wrongs of the past. The Pope may now concentrate all his energies to spirtual guidance to all the Catholic world and we urge him to give his blessing to the remainder of the Holy Empire of Portugal.

The Holy Roman Empire of the Second Reich and the Imperial Diplomatic Corps however convey their discontent through our allied diplomats in Lisboa over Portugese assumptions that it can enforce its will and prevent the god given right of white men to sell the inferior races of the dark continent into slavery. By doing so in fact we give them a chance of a better life, in which they may know the sancitiy of god and indeed the raptures of heaven.

We thus submit to you that you recognise the reunification of the Holy Roman Empire with Vienna as its capital. Rome itself is part of this Reich, however the Vatican City is still an independent state. We futhermore has given the Pope full control over all Catholic property in the Reich, I fail to see you doing the same...

Who is really for the Pope? That who seeks to extend their political will to prevent whole peoples from knowing the lord, and to prevent the Pope from concentrating on his holy spirtual mission by committing him to foul mortal politics, or the Empire that follows the spirtiual guidance of the Pope and has allowed him to concentrate of this guidance to ensure the strength of the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

We thus also echo France's voice in saying that all Imperial ships are under our protection and any attack on them will be considered an act of war against the Holy Roman Empire

Whoa that is such a wierd way of getting rid of slavery.
Nice though.I don't think Austria will be happy with this Holy Empire.

Meh. Britain, France and the Netherlands also have prime slave trading colonies, though admittedly the Portuguese were the biggest dealers.

To: Maria, Queen of Portugal
From: Charles III, King of Spain

If you attempt to imprison Spanish sailors on the open seas, we will not hesitate to fight for their freedom.


OOC: My impression is that this applies only to Portugal and its colonies: just Brazil and the African territories. If it does not, Portugal has caused far mroe trouble for itself that it might want.

 

[Kentharu]

mr mod, please answer my pm

 

[The Farow]

The update is coming tomorrow, correct?

 

[Icmancin]

It should, yes. If silver sends orders. I believe I have all other order except for his and ~Darkening~... and ThomAnder's and Kentharu's and Israelite9191. They are all important to the current situation and the show will not go on without their orders.

 

[Kentharu]

ill do orders tonight if thats ok... can't do them any other time

 

[ThomAnder]

you still didn't answer my last questions about why my economy hasn't been grown considering how the method of growing them in my last orders weren't affected by the war, and you didn't resolve the issue of the negligible population of evenks south of amur river and how israelite said in his orders he stirred up those NORTH of amur

 

[Cuivienen]

Thom, just send orders.


I won't be able to send orders between the 24th and 30th. It would be greatly appreciated, if the update does not happen tomorrow, if the next update were delayed slightly to give me time to get in orders on the 30th or 31st. I'm just getting this out there in advance.

 

[ThomAnder]

Well i would need to know if my economy is at Rich +3 or Growing +2. It makes a slight difference, especially when i'm in a war against 2 powers

 

[Icmancin]

Ok ThomAnder. Count it as Rich. I overlooked that. And I though I cleared up the Evenk thing? Could you PM me a correct map then so I can put it with the old update and use it with orders for this one?

And Cuiv, depending on when I get orders, the update may not be tomorrow anyway. It will take me some time to write as welll so you have some luck.

 

[ThomAnder]

They're sent..

 

[Icmancin]

Update postponed until I get Israelite9191's and silver's orders. This is contructive however as some of us have some planning for NES2VIb...

 

[silver 2039]

I will try to send orders soon.

 

[silver 2039]

@Icmancian is Milan still an eco center? It shows up as one on the map, though it seems rather unlikely since I pounded it into rubble as I recall. But that would mean I have 14 eco center rather than 13...

Also New divisons raised will be at the lowest training level of the army which in my case will be good right?

 

[ThomAnder]

Small addendum for Icmancin:

Spoiler :

Move my government/imperial family to a safer place so they won't get captured. THe emperor will stay behind so to provei t's not a sign of weakness. Do it secretly so the populace don't know.

 

[ThomAnder]

This is from Israelite in the vacation thread, posted on august 19:

"Tomorrow morning at 4 I am leaving for upstate New York for two days, so I should have internet access in 5 days, possibly late on the fourth. I believe I have sent all necessary orders, if not NPC me."

edit: sry for double posting

It isn't. I forgot to change it, bt it is not an EC.

Thom, I don't want to NPC him. This war is all to important. If everybody wants the update, say so and I will NPC him but I'd rather not since his war is an important one.

 

[Luckymoose]

I really want the update. Just use his armies in a smart way to keep him from losing.

 

[Sheep]

Damn not having a working mouse, hopefully I can fix it when I get home.

Wait until Israelite sends in orders, but dont give hime more than like a day. Reason being is if you followed Luckymoose's advce that would be unfair to the player he was versing cause Israelite MIGHT lose....

ooc: btw. Happy birthday to me!
