IOT Enlightenment 2: Philosophers and Kings

We thank you. Celtic Union, we offer a NAP and trade.
 


In light of the growing tensions in this region of the Empire, and to provide for the safety of her subjects,
Her August Majesty Salvbara Queen of the Dene, in consultation with her ministers and the leaders of the
High Council, hereby close the waters adjacent to the Lands of the Dene to warships of foreign nations.

An exception to this policy is the waters of the Hudsn (or Hudson Bay) which lie in common to both the
Dene and New Wales territories.

All warships not of the Dene navy shall depart the closed waters immediately, and none shall enter thereafter,
or face the use of deadly force by our fleet in removing them.
 
To: Dene
From: United Kingdom of Iberia and the Lowlands


Please establish what you consider to be your "territorial waters" if you wish for this proposal to be taken seriously.

To: Europa, Celts in particular
From: United Kingdom of Iberia and the Lowlands


As per negotiations last year, the United Kingdom announces the signing of a mutual 5-year Non-Aggression Pact with the Celtic Union.

The check will be in the mail by the end of the year ;)
 
From China
To Spain:


We want trade, if we do not trade already, and a 3 years NAP.
 
The Celtic Union also requests confirmation of what precisely Dene considers their 'territorial waters', especially as the coastal waters of the eastern pacific are shared between Dene and New Spain.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs thanks the United Kingdom of Iberia and the Lowlands as well as the Celtic Union for their most insightful query.
We, as diplomats representing her Most August Majesty, Queen Salvbara, delight in the opportunity of clarify the words and meanings of the express thoughts of her highness.

To be specific, the phrase “...waters adjacent to the Lands of the Dene...” means that if Dene territory has a shoreline adjacent to a sea zone, that zone is closed to warships not of the Dene navy.
The exception of course is the Hudsn (Hudson Bay) zone, in deference to the sensibilities of the government of New Wales.

To make it even clearer, keep your warships out of the Monte and Beauf (Monterey and Beaufort) seas for now. If the situation changes, we will let you know.

Again, thank you for allowing the Ministry to aid you in the understanding of our nation’s positions during this time of unrest.
Please do not hesitate to write for an appointment if we can be of further assistance in this matter.
 
I spent 6 IC on industry but have the same amount as last turn.

Anyway: Yay!!!! My first territory gain.

And thank god the Iron Islands got beat: they were getting big.
 
And I also gained two provinces, so I really should ave 5 more than what the stats say. IC soonish.
 
What guarantees can you give us regarding the safety of our merchant shipping when they are in the Beaufort Sea? We will not acknowledge this 'request' in respect of Monterey until New Spain has addressed the issue.

To Spain:

By Spain, do you mean the rightful United Kingdom of Iberia, or that dictator in Mexico who is on his way out? If the former, we already are. If the latter, why waste your time?

What guarantees can you give us regarding the safety of our merchant shipping when they are in the Beaufort Sea? We will not acknowledge this 'request' in respect of Monterey until New Spain has addressed the issue.

Again, why waste your time dealing with the tryant when order will be reestablished in the region anyways?
 
I mean Iberia.
 
Ummmmmm, I had 24 IP a turn last turn.

This turn I invested 6 IP in industry, giving me three more IP per turn.

But I also gained two provinces, giving me two more IP per turn.

That is a total of 5 more IP than last turn, yet I only got three.
 
Charts serve a useful function, but sometimes ya just gotta paint a picture.

Therefore, I present the 1753 edition of "Dene's All the World's Armies". :pat:
Note that since armies for the most part can beam to any part of their host country instantly, I stuck the troops where I was comfortable seeing them.
Hence the CU's horde in Asia.:king:

 
Aww I'm blockaded. My income sucks :(

Norskandia will protect the Ottoman Empire and Poland-Lithuania.

Lolz have been had, now that my last orders were public and went through :P
 
As Februzzi mounts the stage, the assembled throng begins to cheer wildly.
My people! This year has been the greatest our nation has ever seen! We expanded our republic, won a war, and became more prosperous than ever! We have thoroughly vanquished the Norskandians. They have almost no military, and very little money. Within two years, they will be demolished and annexed.

We also brought order to the weak central european states. They were digressing back to the dark age, and we rescued them from that horror. We will secure the rest of that area withi the year so rejoice that our army is strong, our republic expanding.

To our friends in the Balkans, we lament about your rebellious provinces. We know you will destroy it easily, and after Norskasndia is destroyed, we will assist you. We hope our subjects do not rebel, as we are in the prime of our nation's life, and wish to push onward from hear.

That is all. As Antonio dismounts the pedestal, the crowd begins to applaud wildy, and it is said they applauded for 15 minutes straight.
