staznes4: Of Incas and Aztecs

From: Rio
To: Portugal

We succeeded from you for a reason, and our power is near yours as it is. We see no need to reach out for your assistance.

From: Rio
To: Aztecia

We are that nation in South America thats NOT the Incas.

From: Spain
To: Portugal

Well, we are both decrepid european empires on the Iberian peninsula. An alliance would seem to be in the cards.

From: Kenya
To: Austria

No peace for you!

From: Greece
To: Turkistan

Ok then, one less nation to ensure your victory. Good luck.


If I forgot any diplo, please tell me. 6 pages of new posts, I probably forgot some of them as I read through it all ;)

Update on Friday, but could be on Thursday.
 
((OOC: The reason the Pope has his position is because of something called the Petrian doctrine, which states that the Pope is a direct reincarnation of the mind of Saint Peter on Earth, because of this, a Pope can only apologize and send aid to people that another Pope has attacked. For a Pope to say that they were not of the same mind as a previous Pope, however, is the same as an admission of being a charlatan.
Additionally, if the French Archdiocese elects a new pope, he will be a Pope, France has done it several times before, and there were a couple times when as many as three people claimed to be Pope.

I would just like to add that I never thought I'd use my history book ever again, so thanks for giving me some use out of it everyone!))

A)it should be known, that i myself am not of any chrstian faith, let alone a catholic

B)consider all of those points rendered null; being a reincarnaiton of sain peter is Not the same as being a former pope, moreover, considerin th epolitics of the situation, its considerable doubtful ANY French dioceses would have the power needed to elect nayone, until they had re-aafirmed thie rloyaty to thew rest of the church
 
however if you and the former popes were both of the reincarnated mind of St. Peter then you would both have the same mind, both being, according to Cathlic Dogma, infallable.

As for the non-Christian thing... well.... either the turtle or I could tune that up for you if you aren't all into eternal damnation. But that isn't for this thread.

Sweden announces that it is exceptionally proud to be a protestant and that it will in no way inhibit the missionarry activities of its citzenry at any time.
 
well, in chrsitian dogma, any damnation isnt eternal; supposedlly on judgment day all will raise and bow, and be judged and what not, or somthign along those lines, though regardless, my exact thoughts ont he incopnsistencies of the chrsitian fiath would likelly get evolved into a flame war, hence I wont bother to say them in this thread (lets just say, I consoider nay god who would judge people more on htier faith in him.her , as opposed ot hwo they have lived thie rlife, for the bette rment of others, or for selfish purposes would be invaribale crule and egotisticle, somthing I personally shudder to think would be connected with a god whom would have been responisble for all around us, good and bad)
 
Ethiopia orders:
Continue increasing education
Send military advisors to train Austrian troops on African warfare
 
True, Mr. Pope, but if God did indeed Create us then who are we to call the actions that we take during 'our' lives our own? Who are we to take credit for merely doing as we were designed to do and loving our neighbors as ouorselves? That's dandy, but that's not something bonus that we can do for extra credit, that's what we ought to be doing, what we were designed to do. Besides any 'work' that we accomplish, be it good or bad, is meaningless next to the perfection that is The Almighty. If you want to discuss it IM wilchinski20, the latter part of your post is something I've put too much thought into to discuss briefly without threadjacking or spamming (I sincerely doubt that I would participate in a flamewar over this, I admit to being a hypocrite on many things, but I still try).

-

Sweden waits with baited breath for Friday's update, and wonders if he will be up and running with the internet by then, it is possible that I could have some troubles in the transition to college.
 
To Grece:
Turkistan does not speak for our alliance. We apreciate your support, and we only wished that next time our moves would be coordinated in order to produce best results.
 
To the Greeks:

Due to the Turks persistence in losing, we apologize to the Greeks and will recognize any territory it takes from the Turks.

To Turkey:

You don't seem to be in the position to be making demands. Tehran and Constatinople are poised to fall, most of Persia is now dominated by the Turkmen.

The non-Turkish people of your so called 'empire' are disappointed in your government. The Arabs have called for their own state, with Mecca and Medina.

The Muslims of the world are tired of the hypocrisy of the Ottoman Empire.

It was a horrible successor to the Caliphate.

The Turkmen and the Arabs, along with our Russian allies, will continue to fight you.
 
*NOTE* I will be away from Thursday to Sunday
 
ORDERS:
-Send 1,000,000 men to Africa. All are to be trained by the Ethiopians in African warfare. 750,000 are to enter Kenya, sparing no one who resists, but sparing the innocents and those who surrender. Those who resist will be an example to other African colonies on the continent. We will also remind our African subjects that we are prepared to help them by improving their standard of living if they accept our rule.
-Grow culture and education
-Continue project
 
To the World
From France:

France denies the false Pope any other claims besides Rome. The Catholic church is a religious order, NOT a kingdom or state.

To the world:

There is only one Pope, he is in avignon, and once the Greedy false pope is ousted, he shall be returned to his rightful city. Rome.

To Britain:

France would request you sign an alliance and stay neutral during this Papal Crisis. We know our nations have had hard times in the past with eachother, but we wish to mend our relations. France will give you the lands neighboring Ethiopia at the base of the Red sea to you as a sign of our alliance.
 
Orders:

- Begin medium sized conscription plans, A total of 250,000 Men is the planned goal. Equip them with uniforms and French Rifles ( Increase Army, spend some economy)

- Begin crack training of French Regiments, a new system of training and drilling established, train troops for faster reloading times and better Bayonet tactics. Advanced warfare training such as trench warfare is also in order. Advanced tactics in congunction with long ranged artillery guns and urban warfare is also encouraged. (Increase overall quality of the French Army)
 
To: Denmark
From: Sweden

We have, in our quest for eternal peace with our neighbors, apparently forgotten to ask you to sign a non-agression pact with us and wish to, at this time rectify it. Would you sign?
 
From Portugal:

Rio:
Any power can be crused with twice superrior force. Let alone a force that is 4 times stronger. Portugal is merely offering assistance to its child nation.
Portugal wishes to remind Rio that Lisboa conference has a goal of ensuring independance of Rio and it is cruscial that Rio and other interested parites attend it.
Portugal confirms its willingness to accept any persons of Portugese origin fleeing from Rio and give them asylum.

England:
We are happy to see that England came out of diplomatic isolation ( ;) ) and welcome the king of England. Juan de Ghama I of Portugal wishes to enter a NAP with yo to prevesnt war between our two nations and increase trade bewteen us (OOC PM me for details).

Portugal on the Turkish War:
Today Achbishop of Portugal adressed the crowds at Lisboa's central square. Celebreation in the name of Portugals new King quickly turned violent. Archbishop of Portugal Perdo Martines Tabasco Maria Trinidad began his speech by congratulating Juan de Ghama on his succesion to the throne and wished that his rule of Portugal restores the countire's pride. The archbishop briefly touched on the international situation (OOC we are not like USSR ;) ) and moved over to religious issues. He expressed that misunderstandings in Catholic Church will be overcome. The Catholic Christian Church cannot afford be split in two. Especially in such important times. Times of friendship between religions and common peoples. Humans want to be able to practice their religion without persecution. However not everywhere in the world it is possible. In the Turkish Empire an Empire of different religions people cannot freely practice their religion. In Turkey Christians cannot build houses higher of those of Muslims. Shia Muslims are being pushed from their land. Orthodox Christian Churches are closing. Arab Muslims are opressed by their fellow faith nation the Turcs! From its experience Protugal as a Kingdom knows that religions can coexist if government doesn't persecute the "wrong faith". Since "Equal Church Decree 1" of Juan de Ghama Muslims and Christians coexist peacefully in our great Kingdom. We shall not deprive people of Middle East of benefits of religios equality! As Urban the II urged you to sign up to the first crusades I now urge you to stand up for the freedoms of people struggling under the heavy foot of Turkish Empire!

Turkish Diplomats with pale faces were quickly escorted back to their embassy. Within a couple of hours an angry crowd of Muslims and Christians alike pillaged the Turkish Embassy following the Turkish Diplomats fleeing the country.

1 hour later a declaration was published around the country:
"Declaration of War."
Following religious persecutions in Turkey constant opression of its citizens Portugal takes a responsibility of entering a Crusade against the Turkish Empire. We will not withdraw until all nations of the Empire are free from the Turkish Rule.
To Russia and Turkmenistan: We have a common enemy and therefore wish to offer you an alliance.
To Turkey: From now on our two nations are in a state of war.

To Morocco:
Ultimatum:
We wish to inform you that it would be in you best interests to refrain from going into war on the side of Turkey. Any form of aid to the Ottoman Empire other than words will be met with deadly force. We do not wish war with you as much as you don't need a war. It can be avioded as long as yo do not interevene with our Holly mission.

Portugese orders sent....
 
to Portugal:
Seeing a country in a time of weakness and trying to resolve all problems in Portugal by war? So be it. You will be defeated in the Ottomans Empire like you have been defeated by African rebelles. You are the weakest country on Earth.

to the world:
There are no rules against any religion in our country. Portugal is just a weak coutnry trying to get some lands.
 
OOC: Anything weird about 19th century religious debates between the King of Sweden and a rebel Pope?

IC:

From: Incan Empire
To: Aztec Empire

We are glad that we reached agreement. I believe we should announce it now, correct?
