From: Persia
To: France and The Federated Kingdoms.
As no powers have colonies in the aforementioned areas of conflict, Persia strongly recommends that no partition of Australia/Nouvelle Gaulle be performed until the the actual size of the continent has become clear, and until several nations have founded actual colonies on the site.
Persia respectfully asks the FK to step back from the brink in it's threatening of war to the Kingdom of France.
Persia is also concerned as to how the colonial powers will treat the indigenous native peoples of this continent.

Wrong century perhaps? Additionally was that last story a 'looking back on the now' type thing - its only been a year since your restoration after all 
@FK: How does the Federate government respond to our cartographers infomation?

Hail Divine Emperor!
What about we just capture Camille and have him burned as a socerer? 
If you asked me, completely rehauling the rules or adding drastically new rules in the middle of a nes shouldn't be done. (either that or I'm just a conservative)

Hail Divine Emperor!
“Who dares threaten my Empire?” –attributed to Qin Shi Huangdi, First Emperor of China.
1861, Beijing
Chinese New Years Festival
Two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers marched through the city in full military parade showing the people of the Capitol the strength of the Qing Dynasty and the Empire of China. Thousands of cavalrymen led the parade marching after their regimental colors their flashy uniforms plumed helmets with their sturdy and fancy mounts came first earning the envy of many. Tens of thousands of infantry dressed for the occasion followed marching step by step shaking the earth upon their well disciplined steps. The artillery followed their appearances screaming deadly with their metallic colors shrieking deadly to the people.
Any military review or parade really only have three meanings, to celebrate a recent victory, to intimidate potential enemies, or show their own people the might of their army which in this case was the third choice. Here, the military parade was telling the people “This is what will fight for China when enemies threaten or attack us.” And it worked, though that really wasn’t what the Emperor had in mind.
Millions of people in the city, and tens of thousands more from throughout China don’t gather all in one place to just see a military parade no. Most people have jobs, livelihoods and so on and wouldn’t travel across the country in railroads, steamers or on horseback just to see a military parade. What had been subtly spread throughout the taverns, inns, teahouses and other public areas was that the Emperor himself, would make a live speech. In PERSON, something that no Emperor had ever done before just the rumor was enough to get people going to Beijing to get a glimpse of the Emperor.
Upon arriving in the city in the weeks and in some cases months prior to the event, they found merchants and tradesmen selling field glasses to people that they said were sold from a military surplus. This simply added fuel to the fire and the rumors spread even faster with some being plain outrageous. It was tradition for an Emperor upon ending the regency to write or do something such as a poem or throw a festival or decree a holiday. That the regency had ended with no such gestures caused huge gossip among influential circles and even among farmers and peasants.
So when the last soldiers of the group designated as the defense force stepped into formation, there was a simple and eerie silence over the city square. The calm before the storm, or a victory was what it was. Several notable figures swore that during this time they saw Pandas scurrying around the platform seemingly busy setting something up that caused a shining transparent blue field around the platform. However after the government sent teams to investigate, it strangely seemed that these same notables had no idea what the government officials were talking about. Most mysterious
Quietly the Mayor of Beijing stepped onto the platform and announced that Beijing had the glory and honor to host the first ever public appearance of the Emperor Guangxu and that they were all unworthy to see such a spectacle. The crowd understanding the complex rituals all nodded and spoke agreement while they were really anxious and excited. Journalists for various newspapers prepared their pens and paper ready to begin.
The Emperor stepped on stage and took the Mayor’s place and stood still for a few seconds watching the mood of the crowd as well as giving the crowd a good glimpse of him. Standing at 5”6, he was tall for a Chinese with a squat nose, bushy eyebrows, a small mouth, light brown eyes, black hair cut short and had a slender figure. A Chinese obviously, not the whispered foreign and sinful Manchu he was said to be by the White Lotus Society. He gestured and the crowd silenced like a wave coming towards land and he began speaking…
“China has never been stronger! All lands of the previous dynasties are under our banner and more lands have been added! Tibet has acknowledged our suzerainty, Japan has accepted the Chinese Reign, Korea has joinedus. China has never been greater! All lands of East Asia shall now be under the warmth of the Chinese Sun, we shall rule our lands with a benevolent and fair hand. No nation shall threaten China with a fist or antagonize us with stick and leave. No one shall attack China with impunity! Long Live China!”
As if on cue, Chinese fire crackers went off at the moment to an excited and crazy crowd while various snipers in surrounding buildings under the employ of Mr. X attempted to assassinate the Emperor only to find that their bullets could not reach the platform and were promptly killed on the spot upon discovery…

The Federated Kingdoms accepts the Dalnorussian proposal.
The Federated Kingdoms also would like to note we have not made any threats to France. We have only made a statement of fact: intrude upon our territory, and you will pay the price. As for Australialis; if they do not wish to make a treaty, then so be it.

Technically however...the addition of cultural centers would not place a HUGE change into the NES. (see other thread)
Such centers do exist, they're just not labelled that way.
*cough*Teheran*cough*
EDIT: And as to the Great Restoration, it's been almost two years. Consider people talking about it like the last presidential election.
Just...with more violence, and less voting.

The big war is in neither great power's interest. Hopefully the French can see that too.

What a shame. Oh well, it will give you something to look forward to...maybe we could persuade das to post the update a bit early?
We can't have the major world power gone for 5 days and not knowing what's going on.

OOC: This story is fake.
Ardashir IV appeared on the balcony of the Chehel-sotoon Palace. The cheering crowds were immense!
After they had all quieted, he spoke.
"Ladies, gentlemen, Persians, Muslims! We come here on a unique duty, and are assembled for a unique task."
"People of Persia, we must push for..."
"A TUESDAY UPDATE!!"
The crowd roared.
Ardashir muttered, "Now our only hope lies with Polarbearum."
He walked inside the palace.
EDIT: My 100th post, and on this. How...unexpected.

You should...it's quite scary. Now NK, you have to answer my diplo because I did your propaganda for you.
EDIT: With the number of potential diplomatic flashpoints that the FK could have a part in, I think das will see the sense in releasing the update a bit early.
