We give to Byzantium, not Minoa. Sparta had the sence to at least be at peace with me. You didn't.

We wish to be neutral in the conflict. Our nation is not yet strong enough to survive, and you are too far away to help us immediately. We will trade with anyone who does not go against Judaism or us. We are looking into whether Cushite propaganda is anti-judaic, but until that has been proven we shall continue to trade with them.

@Carmen - just for your information, Boetia is central Greece. So we both know whats going on, we are signing a permanent NAP and cessation of hostilities for Epirus and Boetia. Also, about Malta, its not even an EC, no biggie, right?
FROM: Byzantium
TO: Greece
While we desire peace wholeheartedly, we must take into account our ally's wishes. Therefore, the settlement will be Boetia and Epirus to Byzantium, and Malta to Minoa. In return, a permanent NAP will be signed between our kingdoms. We urge you to consider this, as Malta is far away and difficult for you to maintain, and, in addition, currently underdeveloped and contributing nothing to your kingdom aside from a liability.
FROM: Byzantium
TO: Israel
A private embassage as to the specifics of assistance you would like would please us.

Remember, we are still an independent city state. However, it would interest us in a formal alliance along with Sparta and Minoa to strengthen our cause in the Mediterranian. Do you agree?

Huang Biaohui, a local magistrate, stood in front of a massive crowd in the Chu capital, and spoke his mind in a manner that his superiors would not consider suitable for a minor servant of the Emperor such as himself, "The rebels in Wu refuse to accept that their time has ended! First they try to destroy our noble empire from within, and now they boldly attack us! Chu will not stand for this! The people of Chu will work together, and the people of Chu will gather under the banner of our great Emperor, and we will fight to preserve the Empire of Chu, and to carry out the will of the heavens! This will be the war for the mandate of heaven, and Chu will emerge victorius! None will stand in the path of the preservation of the late Xiao's great dream! The pirates of Chu will take to the seas for the first time in a century, and the strength of our nation will be brought to bear. Wu's time has passed, and Chu's time has come!" The crowd roared, and prepared to march. Groups such as this were springing up all across Chu, groups that wanted to see Emperor Xiao's son, the new Emperor Cheng, take action against Wu.
Shanghai
"My lord, the people are preparing themselves for a war. We," Feng Mingkuan, a former junior advisor, now head of the Emperor's advisors, indicated the gathered wise men, "believe that this war is what your father would have wished, and it certainly is the wish of the people!"
Cheng turned to face his advisors, enraged. "I won't stand for being manipulated as you did my father. He would not have wished a war, he was a man of peace. But you constantly tried to trick him and make him do your bidding, and I will not stand for it. The people mobilise for war, and I will fight because it is necessary. Do not delude yourself, I don't want this, and my father did not want this. I believe it was the horror of the peace he worked so hard to maintain being broken down that killed him. The people may not have the utmost confidence in me, and I do not expect them to, I have not proven myself yet. But I will. I will prove myself to be far more capable at ruling than my father, if only because I will not allow you to blind me to the will of my people!" Cheng stormed out of the room, furious that his advisors took him for such a fool.
"He will have to be disposed of. Find me a worthy candidate to replace him." Feng was playing a dangerous game, and one he would probably lose.
The Chang Jiang River
The pirate captain Bai Aonu watched his crew hauling in sail as the official Chu naval ship pulled alongside. He knew what was to be asked of him, and he was perfectly willing to do it. The Wu needed to be taught their place, and if it was taught them by pirates, all the more amusing for Chu, and all the more humiliating for Wu. Before the soldier could even step aboard, the pirate captain yelled "We accept your offer. Payment when we return from destroying the Wu navy." his crew loosed all sail, and sailed down the Chang Jiang towards the sea, towards Taiwan, towards the war.
Western Chu, the Chu-Liang border
"Well, at least we'll finally see some action, even if it is alongside those bloody Imperial Guards. How can we expect a unified China if the bulk of our forces are those damned racists?" Nong Jingxiang asked his superior as they marched along a road leading to the main regions of the Empire.
"For the last time, that's not important to you, you're just a soldier. Just follow your orders and you'll be fine. Now march faster, the sooner we reach the coast, the sooner we can travel across to Taiwan and beat the stuffing out of those Wu bastards." An Bintian was a rare sort of Chu soldier, a member of an aristocratic, noble family, who had chosen to work his way from the bottom up, rather than go straight into a command position. As the 3,000 strong Army of the West moved East to fight in Taiwan, preparing to join up with the other 5,000 regular troops, bitterness about the Imperial Guards was growing. The Regulars believed they did all the hard work, and all the Guardsmen did was garrison duty. But as their commander was so fond of reminding them, Taiwan would see the Guards tested, pushed to the edge of their abilities, and possibly being proved as utter failures. But the army knew one thing for certain, the time for war had come, and no matter the cost, Chu would emerge victorious, and Chu would emerge ready for Chinese unity.

1/10 Orders. I'm moving the deadline back up to Wednesday, 20:00 GMT. A lot of other NESes have orders due Friday, and the change might actually be benifitial for my schedule now, due to certain RL events.

Who should we conquor next? Or should we make peace for now? Do we need more land? Are we overextended? Finally, how will we deal with wars to the East, West, and South? I am particularly concerned about Rome's growing power, and the Middle East.

At the moment, peace is the best option, leaving our Alliance time to consolidate and cement. Your fears are understandable, but our alliance will be capable of dealing with all threats. Rome is looking to the west, they are not our enemy.

Yes, that's true. They've cut diplomatic ties with me though.
Well, sooner or later, they'll have to turn west. Only one superpower is enough for the world.

If Rome does not desire diplomatic relations with Athens, the Athenians can simply submit any diplomacy they desire to the Hellenic League for review and submission through other channels. Byzantium reiterates her assertion that it is unnecessary to fear the Roman peoples.
EDIT: Started replying before Farow's diplo.
