For the last few years, the New Avalon Alliance had been ruled by the Senate after the death of First Prince Martin in the tragic accident due his love of naturism and fried bacon.
The son of Martin had been too young to rule then, and had supposedly been brought up to believe in the power of the republic.
But now he saw what the Senate had been doing to the New Avalon Alliance, and it was not right.
He was the commander of the armed forces, and he used this position to overthrow the republic.
The Senators were tried and executed for treason, and First Prince Nicholas ascended the throne.
His first mission: peace with those who had invaded the NAA, and if they didn't accept peace, then the complete and utter annihilation of their troops at any cost.
The people were now beginning to be have faith in their government again, and the coronation was a simple affair - but thousands lined the streets cheering as the new First Prince was crowned.
The NAA had always prospered under the Avalons, but under the Republic they had nearly been destroyed.
Not any more. They had an Avalon at the helm again, and they now had a figure to guide them in the war.
The people began to mobilise at the request of Nicholas, and militias began to be formed, fanatical, determined defend their homeland at all costs.
The army was reformed by Nicholas into a true military machine - back to the same kind of way that his father had organised it, with each regiment able to fight alone without support due to them controlling their own supplies. They were also made to train harder, and more recruits were drafted into the army. Every soldier was made to swear allegiance to the First Prince, and they all did without hesitiation.
The dockyards were building ships at an amazing rate, as were the colonies. They knew that they may be traded in any peace deal, which made them even more determined to fight and win the war. The navy was training hard, and drafting in new recruits and giving them veteran "buddies" to help them, then transferred to the new ships.
The New Avalon Alliance was mobilising for war, and Nicholas would lead them, supported by the Prince's Guard, at the head of the New Avalon Avengers, his own regiment.
"They'd better accept this peace deal," Nicholas told his advisors, "or they won't live to regret it."
TO JEHUDA AND THE VIKING EMPIRE
FROM THE NEW AVALON ALLIANCE
This First Prince has no intention of taxing those who use the seas around us. Please feel free to use them - to take your troops home if you would, but also for trade and other purposes.
I believe in the freedom of the seas - ships can sail them without paying as far as I'm concerned.
In return for peace and you retreating from the Alliance, we will grant the colonies in Colonia to Jehuda, and the colony in Nall to the Viking Empire.
But since that is so much for us to have to come to terms with, I would like in return for that deal a NAP with both of you, and help in rebuilding my navy which you so nicely shattered.
I warn you, reject this deal and you will find out just how much the people of the Alliance believe in it.
We will fight to the last man, the last breath, and to the last sword or spear for our homes, and if you continue this fight, you will lose so much that you will be easy pickings even for a mouse.
So I hope you will accept this deal, or it will cost us all very much.
First Prince Nicholas
Ruler of the New Avalon Alliance
