From: Leopold I of the Holy Austrian Empire
To: Swiss Republic
Times in Europe are confusing, to say the least. I have maps all around me in my study, one for my lands, several for Germany, another for Italy, and another for the New World. There is one thing we can do too make things easier on us both, which is why I extend the offer of a mutual protection pact to your nation. The Swiss are an industrious people of unbreakable will as history has shown, we would rather be on the side of that than against it.
We would rather see you rot in hell.
From: Leopold I of the Holy Austrian Empire
To: Kingdom of Lombardy
Let us continue our friendship, by first signing a defensive pact that will ensure your safety from outside aggression. We also offer you a duchess or duke, whichever pleases you, for royal marriage that will forever cement this guarantee.
I suppose this is a good deal...we agree.
From: Leopold I of the Holy Austrian Empire
To: The Papal States
To ensure that the power of the Roman Catholic church never wanes, I hearby request for the Pope's public blessing of I, King Leopold I. We also request the status of "defender of the Catholic faith" be bestowed upon the Holy Austrian Empire.
Austria is a pillar of our Catholic faith. With honor, I grant this title to King Leopold I, long may he reign.

We offer a defensive pact, to defend the lands of africa and to better our friendships.

To: Abyssinia(?)
From: Sultan Hamad Hadimi of Zanzibar
We wish to sign a 3-turn NAP with you.

To: Bahmani Sultanate
From: Sultan Hamad Hadimi of Zanzibar

To the Malayu Empire
From the Kingdom of Ayutthaya
Please allow free trade and a 3 turn agreement between our respectable peoples.
As long as you leave us along, then fine.
To the Kingdom of Ava

Perhaps you would like peace along our borders as much as us? 3 NAP?
Not at this time, thank you.

To the Kingdom of Brittany
From the Irish Empire
Brothers in faith, we wish to inquire about the purchase of your colonies in Avalon. We believe two economic points would be fair. Do you agree to this our friends and allies?
With utmost respect for our beloved Irish allies, we cannot agree to such a thing. Those colonies have taken decades of blood and treasure to found. We hope that you understand when we say that we cannot part with them easily.
To Ava
From Min Empire
We propose a 5 year mutual protection pact in the light of Ayutthaya's aggression.
We agree heartily.
