Finland is forced to switch sides!
I would rather say that Finland saw the tide changing and decided it was time to taste how the grass was in the otherside

I was rather surprised y'all would start a war in Russia without first securing non-intervention from Europe
To once again raise a point it is one thing to IC do character assasinations on other countries but it is not cool to do likewise out of character for fear of giving poeple the wrong impression, especially someone who might become their neighbour, especially with nothing to back it up.
I was rather surprised y'all would start a war in Russia without first securing non-intervention from Europe... What are the current goals/demands for the various people involved?

So stop doing that and memes like that.
Regarding securing non-intervention, I thought I had.
As for goals: I want the Crimean peninsula, which in addition to its trade-route event has a province that is adjacent to Byzantium; consequently I keep getting the annoying "Foreign Raiders in our Provinces" event for my capital city, keeping it in poverty. I require security against the raids of the Don Cossacks, those marauding boat people, the terror of the Black Sea! It has ever been Roman policy to push our borders far enough forwards, into hill or forest or steppe, that the peaceable tiller of the plains can guide his plow unarmed. For this reason we conquered the Apennine spine of Italy; for this we subdued the Welsh hillmen and the Pictish heath-dwellers; for this great Hadrian built his Wall, and Varus lost his eagles. Since Novgorod has failed to keep order in hese areas, I demand that the Black Sea become a Roman lake again.
Persia, I believe, wishes to recover the Trans-Caspian, and to push his Caucasian border northwards. Especially the wealthy city of Bukhara, which in the previous peace treaty was not given to Russia; it was unlawfully seized by that power during the Mongol invasion, and has not been returned.
Denmark, as I understand it, wishes to recover Gotland. In the original plan he intended an enlarged Finland to serve as a better buffer; I don't know what the plan is now. The reduction of Bavaria to powder, perhaps?
So how did this one start? And will the rest of the Westerners be joining their Eastern compatriots to bring order to the steppes?
Now we all hope that Russia wins this war so KoM is defeated once again.
So now Denmark is in troubles while Finland rolls in to Lappland
Erhem, Finland is not at war with Denmark, only with our eternal arch enemy, the Byzantium
