In this wave of popularity for the LDN, Belgium must state that it hopes its Neutrality will be respected in any future war or conflict. We do not plan on joining any massive and polarizing alliances in order to hopefully preserve our neutrality.

Tell that to France. You know all too well how they've been looking at Calais.

SouthernKing, can we just pay military upkeep automatically, not having to explain it in our orders?

It was my assumption that the "-#" after EP was your military upkeep, and it would be deducted automatically if you weren't stupid enough to try to spend it.

I would suggest that you release the territory known as the Sudetenland to Austria. The Germans of the Sudetenland demand equality with your Czechs, and a chance to rejoin Austria.

OOC: This just in! The Serbian Office of Border Prettification claims that "Austrian control over the Sudetenland would destroy the harmonious borders of both Austria and Bohemia-Moravia." This very same office has previously expressed discontent at the "sharp Hungarian control of Vojvodina" and the "Polish thumbtack in between the Soviet Union and Hungary", though they claim that Austrian control over the Sudetenland would be much worse looking, in their eyes.
EDIT: Of course this is a mild overexaggeration of the Sudetenland on the southern portion. I just couldn't resist.

Ottoman Imperialism is just as much a threat to Hungary as it is to nations such as yours. We declare war for our own safety and independence.

Looks perfectly fine to me.

Serbian Prime Minister Nikola Uzunovic sighed, head in hands. The latest dispatch from the Hungarians was even more confusing than the last. As it turns out, Serbia's best cryptographers were attempting to decode their last message. From what they could tell, despite the peace made between the Serbians and the Ottomans, and the ongoing peace talks between the Bulgarians and Ottomans, the Hungarians were for whatever reason afraid of some sort of 'Ottoman Imperialism' that could somehow threaten Hungarian borders despite the Ottomans showing no sort of imperialistic deigns whatsoever, as well as the gigantic Hungarian patron looming right over their shoulder. Also confusing was the fact that Hungary, a land-locked nation not bordering the Ottoman Empire, expected either Turkish troops or their own to reach the opposing nation. Naturally, that was impossible as well. There had to be some sort of hidden meaning to this message, but so far, no one had been able to decode it. After all, Hungarian is a very odd language, unrelated to any other European language at all! Any secret terms wouldn't translate very well to Serbian.
He looked at the points the Hungarians claimed. First of all, the Turks as far as Belgrade knew had no imperialistic designs on Serbia, and certainly not to the Hungarians. And he thought it obvious that Hungarian safety and independence would be guaranteed because of their big brother neighbor. The next meeting with the King would be a very awkward one for him, forcing him to somehow try to explain the Hungarian thought process, unless the Hungarians would manage to clear things up somehow. But that wasn't very likely.
So it would be very awkward.

BEC NOIR! RUN!
The Discovery of Oil in Saudi Arabia (Note: Probably contains serious errors as to how oil pumps even work)
For three years, they had been searching for oil. The discovery of oil in other countries in the region caused excitement that there could be huge oil reserves hidden underneath the Arabian Peninsula. Some companies were given permission to come in and drill for oil, as any discovery would doubtless be a huge boost for the Saudi economy. And so they began drilling. And drill they did, for three long years, with no results. Not a drop of oil was to be found in the area conceded to the companies. Some of them gave up the search, returning to the countries where oil was known to exist. But others remained, convinced they were sitting on a liquid gold mine that they just had to uncover.
It was dusk. The pump in the east of Saudi Arabia known as Dammam No. 7 had been working all day, as had the staff of the pump. Some of them had given up hope as well that oil would be found, but stayed there for the money. Two brothers stayed to watch the pump as the majority of workers went to the prayer before sunset. The two were Christian, and had received their fair share of mockery and teasing for it, but they were at least tolerated at the pump, having joined when it was created. They always stayed at the pump while the rest of the workers prayed, and this time initially seemed no different. One was taking a nap, sitting against a wall, while the other checked the pipe that would take crude oil out to at least pretend to be working. But then he saw something which made him run back to his brother, shouting Farooq! Farooq, wake up, you idiot! Come see what this is.
His brother reluctantly stood up and dragged his feet to the pipe. When he saw what was running through it, though, he was immediately filled with energy. He asked his brother, Is that actually oil? Could it really be?
It is, it is! Come on, the others have to know.
Together, they ran to where the Muslims at the pump usually prayed. As they approached, they saw that the prayer was just ending. They waited a moment to let them finish praying, but some had clearly noticed them. As the Muslims disbanded, the boss approached the two brothers, asking, You two, what is the meaning of this? This is the first time the two of you have come down here while we were praying.
Farooq spoke up, talking loud enough that all the crew could hear him, Oil! There's oil coming out at last!
The crew quickly assembled around them, as one man cried out a confirmation from the rig. The boss looked astounded for a moment, before shouting, Oil! We are rich! Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar!
Their jubilant cries echoed into the desert night.
