staznesVIII: A Walk in Hell

[Jason The King]

To Great Britain
From Confederate States of America

We are aware that cotton does in fact come from other sources such as Africa and India, but the majority of cotton imported to Britain is indeed coming from the Confederate States of America. We want only to continue this trade, as it is beneficial to the both of us. Your backstock of cotton is limited, and we only ask that if the USA decides to blockade our ports that you will step up for the freedom of trade and national identity. Besides, the USA is a coming power, and only wishes to surpass the British in industrial might. We seek only to retain the balance of power between Europe and the Americas.

@stormbringer, thanks...I only added a few, like in the Dutch East Indies and in Thailand. Much of the EC's I placed were from Drake's NES and my own knowledge, so any help in relocating those EC's is welcome.

[alex994]

To France, Spain, UK and Austria.
We Propose a 5 Year Non Agression Pact.
We would also like to inform you that we have received once again news that the Ottomans have started again to burn christian villages in lebanon, it would seem that last year's lesson they were tough by France has been forgotten and propose to send an international force there to enstablish a permanent enclave were our cristian brothers will be protected from ottoman agression.

To Itay
From France

We gladly accept the NAP and wish for better relations between your new country and France.

To Ottoman Empire
From France

Whether or not these allegations are true or false have yet been seen, France would like to ask that the Ottoman Empire allow the entrance of say 5 divisions of European Soldiers into the Lebanon to act as a small security force while a commitee investigates the allegations.

To Belgium
From France

Once more we reiterate, it is not Belgium's place to intervene in areas such as the Americas. Any attempts to disturb the Balance of Power as set forth by the Congress of Vienna will result in ah... unsatisfactoy actions for Belgium.

 

[The Farow]

From: USA
To: Nations of the World

The USA is imposing a strict embargo on all Confederate ports. We will fire on any ship that violates the embargo. We just ask to avoid unnessecary loss of life that all ships avoid waters near and around the shores of the Confederacy. We understand that a lot of the worlds cotton is exported from the CSA, but this is war for our nations survival and has pretty much entered total war. The goal is to bring this war to a speedy end and every possible method is being used to do so.

 

[Luckymoose]

From Belgium
To France

The Americas?Or just American Civil War.Seems we cannot intervene due to blockades of the ports.But if you mean Americas.We have all the right to trade with any nations we choose.

 

[~Darkening~]

To Belgium
From Brazil

We are sure that some kind of deal can be worked out. Just suggest something and we will think about it.

 

[North King]

To Argetina and Paraguay (that is if you really do exist)
From Brazil

Wars have been fought over territorie in South America for far too long. We suggest a NAP among our three nations.

We will agree to a NAP for ten years, to be renewed upon its expiration.

 

[Luckymoose]

To Brazil
From Belgium


We beleive the trade of luxury items such as gold and exotic plant products.Could be traded through our African Colony and Brazil and back to Belgium in Europe.

(just trade to increase economy)

 

[Jason The King]

Confederate Statement to the World:

The USA calls this a fight for their nation's survival. This is not true. We do not want war on the USA. We want peace, the ability to prosper as our own entity, seperate from the imperialist Yankees. The blockade that the United States is going to impose on our country is illegal, and will hinter free trade. Our recent agreement with Brussels to supply cotton will be completely void. The USA does not have the right to dictate to the world who each nation can trade with. I ask that the world do not stand by and let the USA dictate terms as they once did to us. Stand up to the Yankees.

 

[Luckymoose]

To CSA
From Belgium

The King himself sees this embargo as wrongfully commited.We would continue our trade but we wish to not lose any of our fine Belgian's in the prosess.Now if there was a way to skip around this blockade we will gladly continue with trade .
