Emperor Eric II was very appeased. Celebrations were held all over the Imperium as the news of the surrender of the German Reich reached the capital. However, the treacherous Dutch and Danes have invaded the Baltic Sea and burned most of Gdansk, a major Polish city on the Baltic coast, earning not only the vengeance of the Emperor, but also of the people. Eric was the second Christian Emperor of the Polish Imperium. His father, Eric I (OOC: Eric I was just an in-between-turns person), had begun enforcing Christianity throughout the Imperium. Many of the people were now Christians (Catholic branch, right?).
Reports were coming in that the Germans feared that the Imperium would repress them as an inferior race. This was untrue, however. While the government did not tolerate opposition, it did not bias on racial roots. Emperor Eric issued the Ethnic Equality Code, which was a law that stated that no imperial official could discriminate on ethnicity and that ALL ethnic groups would be judged the same way.
Many people called for an invasion of Denmark and, if possible, the Netherlands. However, the Emperor disagreed on this. He demanded reparations of 1 economy from each of them for burning the port city of Gdansk, restoring peace. As long as neither Denmark nor Netherlands attempted to enter the newly-acquired German lands, there would be no land war with the 2 nations.

From Emperor Eric II of the Polish Imperium
To Denmark and the Netherlands:
We demand 1 Economy level as reparations from each of you and recognition of Poland's rule over the now-surrendered Germany in exchange for the restoration of peace. If you refuse, then we will fight you. We will not invade you unless you invade Poland (including the newly-acquired German lands).
To France:
We respect your neutrality (talked about it over AIM w/ emu) but this may be misconstrued as a direct violation of the DPP we have. Though we will not demand aid from you and respect neutral status, we will expect that you honor the DPP in the future.
To Finland:
*SECRET* The Danes and Dutch have invaded the Baltic and burned a major Polish city. This is a direct attack upon the Polish Imperium - a member of the newly-formed Grand Eastern European Alliance, of which you are also. We request that, if the Danes and Dutch refuse our peace proposal to them, you assist our navy in destroying their navies and driving their ambitions out of the Baltic Sea forever.*SECRET*

OOC: My UU - the Jagiellonian Guards - still has to be posted on the front page. Here is the "overview" of waht they are and stuff:
The Jagiellonian Guards are the defenders and protectors of not only the Imperial Dynasty, but also of the Polish Imperium borders and the people that live within the Imperium. They are not good at offensive wars AT ALL, but they can defend like crazy. The Guards use their defensive and protective skill to prevent any and all foreign invasions and to stop robbers and bandits from attacking the citizens.
