Please be advised that the Soviet government holds no ill will towards your government or people.

It is not the EASR we were directing our comments towards The Russian government holds no ill will towards your nation either.

We find this good and see it as a basis of something that can become a friendship.

From Austria-Hungary

I know that our nations' relations have been strained recently, with the Turkish crisis. However, the leader responsible for this has been disposed of. We wish that we can go back to our good relations.

carmen, USA has no alliances according to the front page, I merely have an outside friend, what makes you think the alliance is divided?

The end of Austria-Hungary​

The Astro-Hungarian Empire is being renamed the Empire of Austria, Hungary, and Yugoslavia. This is because of the nationalist uprising in Adriatic region of the empire. The empire is also being subdivided into regional provinces. They have their own legislature, and then the full national legislature is above them. The new provinces are Austria, Hungary, Bohemia & Moravia (Czechoslovakia), Serbia (Serbia, Montenegro, & Slovenia), Rumania, Poland, Croatia, Bosnia, and Bulgaria. There are also the territories of Macedonia and Albania that have less independance, but still have a form of self government. King Charles has declared that each province and territory has specific things they are responsible for, and everything else is the responsibility of the national legislature. The provincial responsibilities include health care, roads and highways, education, and housing. One thing that is forbidden of each territory is seceding. Every head of province must give an oath saying that they cannot secede from the empire, and all provinces wishing to have any self rule must give up the right to secede.

"We hope to avoid what has happened in the United States, with one nation being split up into 5. We also wish to avoid that which has happened in Russia, with Finland rising up every time that they can."

After telling 6 people of 6 different cultures, some of them protesters, about these reforms, we got them to give us their opinion.

I am very happy that Serbia will be a semi-independant province, especially because Belgrade will be the capital for three nationalities. We have Slovenes, Serbs, and Montenegrans all looking to Belgrade as their home, as well as Vienna. I still wish Serbia were an independant nation, but this is second best.

These reforms anger me more than not doing anything would have! I want the best for Slovenia, and that is to be a country, not some province. We're not even a province! We're a part of SERBIA! We have to look up to Belgrade instead of Ljubljiana.

Romania is a province now? Since when? I don't like it! I want to be on my own. I want to be a Rumanian from Romania, not a Rumanian from the Romanian province of the Empire of Austria, Hungary, and Yugoslavia. I want to sing the national anthem, and speak Romanian, and criticize the government of Romania. That would be a dream come true.

These reforms are the best thing for Poland. We cannot become an independant nation, as Russia and Germany would not let their parts go at the same time as Austria, if ever. There is no way we would have Poland from Slupsk in the north to Zakopane in the south, and Brest in the east to Szczecin in the west. We would always be a nation divided, so now we can be a province with a strong army defending us, but still being able to make our own decisions.

Croatia shall be free! We shall not give up until the day that Croatia is an independant country. Austria Hungary can add a word to their name, but it means nothing. All that means something is Croatia. At least we have some power in Zagreb, but every month Zagreb shall be stronger until we finally break off completely!

As a proud citizen of the Astro-Hungarian empire, I am disgusted that people should do such a revolution that the Empire must change its name just to accomidate them! I can't dream of my Hungarians ever doing such a thing!

We would appreciate it if you make your mind already...

In any case, the war will go on until the junta in charge of the USCA steps down.

 

[IronMan2055]

The nation of Australia supports The Empire of Austria, Hungary, and Yugoslavia's Proclamation, and we support the C.S.A. in thier war.

To Australia

We thank you for your support in a time of internal strife. Hopefully this will quell some riots and rebellions, and at the same time give power to the people.

 

[carmen510]

To Mexico
From Spain

You are activly surportting the Atlantic Alliance against the USCA. And I support the USCA.

 

[jeps]

Yes that last Hungarian was put in their for pure irony. I needed a Hungarian or Austrian to comment, so I chose Szabó.

To Spain
From Austria-Hungary-Yugoslavia

I hope that after the war that almost happened between us we can patch things up. You were one of the reasons I started investigating the cause of the war, for which I thank you. We averted a possible World War caused by Franz II's greed and militaristic side. We hope to patch up our relations, and make sure that the NAP cannot be broken until it expires under any circumstances except us going to war with a country you have a MPP with or vice-versa

 

[carmen510]

To Austria-Hungary-Yugoslavia
From Spain

We still will carry out the NAP, until deemed neccisary to cancel. Our country is divided, and a recent events in America call to my attention. We are facing a possible World War as I speak. In America, many Europeans and patriotic USCA troops fight for valor and victory, yet the Europeans are filled with a greed for more land. The USCA only wants to defend their homefront. In the East, your war with Turkey almost triggered a European war, yet this too is happening. The EASR is close to declaring war on the Atlantic Alliance, and I pray our two nations will survive. I feel presence of a new, more deadly war, one we may not be able to stop. Let us hope, we can reunite this world, and bring peace for this generation.

 

[jeps]

To Spain
From Austria-Hungary-Yugoslavia

We wish the best for your country. We hope that you can keep your presence alive in Europe, as a colony is not the best place to move your capital-in-exile to. I greatly dislike war, and hope that we can reunite the world. I am happy that we are not in a war, nor are we the cause of a war. Should we be attacked, we shall defend and counterattack. I hope an instance shall not come up in which we are forced to declare war.

To: Spain
From: Mexico

The USA has told me they are neutral in the Central American Conflict. I am still your ally, and I remain in support of USCA's valor and abilities, but I have an outside alliance. You should get your facts straight. The mpp with USA is to safe guard our nations. We seek to watch out for potential enemies. I am rather in support of the USCA, although I have yet to take any military action. And if you are so supportive of them go to war and stop insulting the honor of my nation. If you are so ignorant I will no doubt see you as kicking me out of this so called free union, which you have come to dictate. I will not leave the union unless I am instructed by you and Portugal.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought you attacked the USCA. :rollseyes:

We need a summitt as quickly as possible. I propose we hold this in Cairo.

@Sheep, get on AIM mate.

To: Spain
From: Philipenes

We demand complete autonomy and control of all the islands of the Philipenes. We will not sign trade with you as requisite for our freedom, though afterward we will take this into consideration. We will not destroy military bases, they will remain under our control, you shall not neuter our defense. We will return any soldiers who wish to return to Spain.

To: Japan
From: Philipenes

Would you be interested in forming a new friendship in form of a defensive alliance?

 

[EQandcivfanatic]

BTw, since this update didn't cause a major diplomatic stir, we'll have the date set for the next update as Tuesday night.

 

[carmen510]

To Phillipines
From Spain

We officially destroyed the bases before the independence treaty. However, we left a base in Manilla and one in the north.
