[Forum Game] - World in Revolution: 1861

His Majesty is saddened by what looks to be the return of the Spanish branch of the Hapsburg family, or at least of leadership of the same calibre as Charles II.

OOC: Inbreeding is the only logical explanation for such madness. That, or Spartans have turned up in Madrid.

[Boris ze Spider]

The Russian Empire finds it interesting that the Spanish government is being condmened for attempting to sell warships while the Confederate States of America have received no such reprimand for the same action. The Russian Empire also believes that a nation should have the capability to defend itself and its commerce should it be attacked. Therefore we completely support Spanish actions in attempting to receive repirations from the Brazilian government.

The Moroccan Sultan would never dare insult the Spanish. The Report must have been leaked by a Junior Diplomat serving in the Newly formed Diplomatic corps designed to bring organisation to Moroccan Foreign Policy. The Sultan himself does not hold such views and seeks only to uncover more intelligence concerning the Events that began the Spanish involvement in the war. There seem increasingly to be two sides to this story and the Sultan Seeks to find out the Truth.

OOC: Semi IC context posts dropped due to large scale opposition to them. Just don't punish me too harshly for Non Flag Posts their usually quick posts poorly thought out.

[reis91]

We praise the Sultan for displaying some wisdom, while we are worried about it's scarceness in some countries's leaderships.

We also wish to praise the wise words of the Czar, who, like us, recognize freedom of trade, rather than being hypocrites about it, considering weaponry deals made with Brazil.

[Syber]

The countries that are condemning Spain's actions such as the kingdom of manchuria, Japan or the Confederacy of Guatemala should really inform themselves better.
Brazil attacked without warning, Spanish ships, just minutes after being amicably received on board, on the complete goodwill of the Spanish. Then they treacherously ordered an attack on the ships. How can any civilized nation find that honorable?!
The Spanish, then in complete benevolence, asked only for compensation on said sunk ships, however the arrogant Brazilians refused to pay anything and escalated the conflict. That the Spanish resorted to firing shots as to receive their deserved compensation is only expected, as if left to their goodwill and honor, the Brazilians will refuse to pay for all eternity as they don't possess any of those two characteristics.
Fears of spanish meddling in ex-spanish colonies is unfounded as they haven't done nothing to interfere in the affairs of sovereign nations in the Americas, unless when brutally attacked.
We endorse the Spanish claims, furthermore we announce that Argentine ports are open and friendly to spanish ships for their supply needs for the duration of their conflict with Brazil.

It matters not at this stage who officially started the war, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, men from the moon. Instead all that matters are what can be enforced by arms or what can be worked out via treaty. Talks would be a better way to resolve some of the issues with the conflict in South America but some issues seem to require blood be paid.


OOC: Don't take this as the gospel but to me, if someone wants to comment in a middle ground way, just totally dodge what others are talking about but bring up an ic post on another issue. That is your way of saying 'I am here, I see something is going on IC but cannot or will not comment on it.'

[Morrell8]

I do believe, that the reasoning behind the Brazilian blockade, was to stop the flow of weapons and armaments into Argentina. Warships are weapons, are they not? This clearly violates the terms of the blockade. And I do believe the Spanish knew what they were getting into.

The Confederate States of America proposes the following treaty to the United States of Colombia:

Colombian-Confederate Dual Assistance Treaty

1. The Confederate States of America and the United States of Colombia shall engage in trade with each other.

2. The CSA agree to send a total of 200 gold to Colombia along with a team of Confederate railroad experts to assist the Colombians in eastablishing a working railroad from their ports and cities along the Atlantic/Carribean to their ports and cities along the Pacific.

3. Colombia agrees to allow Confederate goods, supplies, and men and material to move along these rail lines, free of charge, across Colombia.

So, the German government recognizes the right of Brazil to stop armaments trading between other nations?

The Confederate States of America proposes the following treaty to the United States of Colombia:

OOC: Where's my treaty...

[King50000]

OOC: This is my 2nd treaty this turn, and I need the other half of my orders to rebuild my nation.

[reis91]

OOC: Hold on a second, did Portugal go to one of the the countries with most area colonized to a (to the exception of a few small territories and islands) colony-less country?

[reis91]

OOC: This is my 2nd treaty this turn, and I need the other half of my orders to rebuild my nation.

OOC: I had asked last turn, though... I really don't have any problems with you selling ships to Brazil, by the way.

The Kingdom of Manchuria is curious to see if the Portugese nation is interested in joining us in a trade agreement.

[King50000]

OOC: I hadn't planned on buying some of Manchuria, but it was too good of a deal to pass up, and now I need Colombia inorder to get supplies and people to my new colony. Got to keep my priorities straight.

The Confederare Congress has asked for Queen Isabella and the Spanish Government to calm down and engage in diplomatic talks with Brazil over this issue. Spain can not afford a war so soon after their last with France. The world understand your issue with the Brazilian blockade of Argentina, but that is what happens during war. The USA did the same thing to us during our war for independence. Free trade will continue once the war is over. The Brazilians had even offered to allow ships through, so long as weapons were not being supplied to the Triple Alliance. The world is beginning to see Spain in a bad light, and steps must be taken inorder for your people to hold some form of good opinion for your Government and Monarch.

The Spanish government would like to remind the CSA that we have constantly shown our desire for peace, repeatedly getting our peace offers rejected by the belligerent Brazilian government, who has foolishly decided to wreck Brazil on a naval arms race, hoping to match the extraordinary might of the Spanish Armada. We will invite a representative of the CSA to the peace talks, if Brazil can be persuaded to negotiate a peace with Spain.

OOC: Not to nitpick, but that is a name unheard of in Portugal. Is he the great-great-...-great grandson of an Aztec refugee that came to Portugal?

OOC: Why Colombia?

[King50000]

OOC: Why Colombia?

OOC: Wasn't sure if Guatemala or Mexico would let me :/
