The Kingdom of Spain is pleased to see that the nations of Colombia and the Central American Confederacy have come to a peaceful solution to the incident, despite the shameful prodding of Brazil, who claimed that (sic)

suffered a violation of their territory by the Guatemalans(...)
(...)in order to defend herself against those acts of aggression.

again showing the world that Brazil is a threat to the stability of South America due to their unrestricted jingoism. Once again, we ask the international community to assist in seeking a peaceful solution to this conflict. We also urge the Chileans and Bolivians to put an halt to hostilities.

The Kingdom of Spain will not accept such an offer for those we consider integral parts of the Kingdom of Spain.

OOC : Speech on internal matters to come soon. By the way, did the transaction between Spain and the UK get processed?

To Denmark, we are working to unify our people into a single common government. That our strength and righteous course of action as earned the support of your people for greater union, in a united Scandinavia, while your country’s continuing ineptitude has not only alienated your own people and ceded the Dannevirke without protest. However, the most damning actions of Danish state have been its attempts to impose socialism on its people similar to the lines of that of the communist rebel Marx in the United Kingdom, which not only terrifies your people but those of the rest of Europe. These actions only lead your people to compare the Danish sovereign to the communist despot that is Marx and comparisons of the Kingdom of Denmark to the rebellious Worker’s Commonwealth. It is no small coincidence that you had to set up a security institution to have a mere resemblance of stability in your nation. Furthermore, the yielding of expensive and historically Danish colonies to the British crown must certainly lead the Danish populace to question the leadership of their weak and vacillating King, and compare it to the strong, effective leadership of King Charles XV. It is little wonder that people of Denmark are unhappy and wish to be united into a singular Scandinavian state.

It seems that you mix the terms liberalism with socialism. I have been trying my best to provide the basic needs of the danish people while improving the country overall. I have established an education system for the lower class. As I recall, you have an education system as well. If you call me socialist, then you are a hypocrite because you have done the same.

Denmark had no need to keep those colonies. In fact, it was a burden to maintain such far of colonies. Now that we have only one colony that is not as far, we can now more efficiently manage it.

the stability of the nation was a result of aristocratic hesitancy to the education system and your propaganda that you have spread to our nation. You are part of the cause of the destabilization of Denmark.

I am not weak. I have tried my best to retain the sovereignty of Denmark without going to war. It seems to the Swedish that war is the only war to show leadership while I believe those barbaric methods are not necessary to show leadership.
 
The Kingdom of Belgium reminds the Danish King that St. Thomas is in fact closer to Denmark then Walvis Bay.

The United Kingdoms of Sweden, Norway, and Finland​

The Danish sovereign continues with his misplaced claims. Indeed, the United Kingdoms of Sweden, Norway, and Finland have a compulsorily education system, however, this system was introduced by parliament and was done to instill not only an education but good moral values in our people, unlike the actions of Denmark. We still question the wisdom of letting those colonies go for not even the slightest remuneration and we are sure that your people have the same question. Additionally, such a statement shows a lack knowledge about geography as the Danish Virgin Islands are much closer to Denmark than Walvis Bay. However, your most severe incrimination about the Swedish role in destabilizing Denmark is most unjust, as it is merely a reflection of you people's will. Additionally, the Danish sovereign is calling Sweden a warmonger who only believes in force of arms. Such a statement could not be further from the truth, all recent Swedish territorial gains have been result of skillful diplomacy, and a determination to build a better future for our peoples.

Walvis Bay is in the perfect position between Denmark and Asia. St.Thomas had little value to us because Denmark is not far from the the Americas.

The Suez Canal will cut Walvis Bay out of the route from Denmark to Asia.

OOC: It's just you. Your just trying to get Brazil to lose it's army level.

OOC: Is it just me, or is the whole army level system just getting a bit ridiculous? I think nations with a small standing army shouldn't be able to keep the same level after recruiting levies 4 times bigger than their standing, peacetime army, for a start.

OOC: And Spain's army should rout at the word 'Kitten'.
 
The Education system was also passed by parliament, although they were reluctant on it, they did pass it. All of my proposals have passed through my parliament. To say that I don't let parliament vote on it would be ridiculous.

Along with maintaining the security and happiness of the Danish citizens, I also have to maintain the security and improvement of Denmark as a whole. The colonies were a burden on Denmark because of their distance from Denmark proper. St. Thomas was close, but it held no value because American ships can easily travel to and from Europe because of the trade winds.

I ask the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland to respect the Danish citizens' on the former colonies rights and allow them to leave for Denmark if they so wish to do so.

Onwards Poles to the fight! The time of the liberation of our fellow brethren is upon us! Less than 2 years ago the brave men and women of Krakow were shattering their chains from the foreign oppressor, now it is time to complete the task. In this hour, however, we are saddened to see that our fellow Ruthenians have chosen to fight for the same man that they were fighting against not very long ago. It is clear that they have fallen for the machinations of the Austrian Kaiser, whose pen gives some freedom today but whose army can take it away tomorrow at his will. Let his armies come to us, the last ones who did payed a high price for their audacity. If we were victorious then, why won't we be now that we have the help of our German friends?.

The brave resistance of our fellow republicans in Italy shall be a fine example to us; even more now that they are facing the same man who used to rule those lands and, driven by some insane desire for power, has accepted some crown from the gutter and fights against them. From Poland we offer our best wishes and prayers for thee. Similarly we must applaud the United Kingdom's ongoing fight against their perfidious rebels and wish them victory soon, as well.
 
The United Kingdoms of Sweden, Norway, and Finland​

The United Kingdoms of Sweden, Norway, and Finland continue to find fault and a lack of understanding by the Danish Sovereign. The reluctance of your parliament to pass the bill is indicative of the lack of support of your people. Something that can found in the lack of support by your populace in general. The Danish talk of security is reminiscent of that of an ancient tyrant, who equates his own security with that that of society in general. The Danes also show their colonial ineptitude in there continued discounting of the Caribbean, immediate gifting of expensive unproductive rocks, while only valuing colonies for their location as opposed to the colonies resources. We continue to be confused by the actions and statements of the Danish state and hope that its people continue to be able to see and work against their inept leadership.
 
The Russian Empire would like to state that it finds the squabling between the United Kingdoms of Sweden, Norway and Finland and Denamrk petty and ridiculous. However, we are happy that we have been able to form closer ties with tow of our neighbors, Poland and the United Kingdoms of Norway, Sweden and Finland. We hope to cooperate eternally with both nations.

OOC: He didn't say they were ;) Oh the ever-confusing Oxford comma.
 
OOC: Oh, and France, I forgot to tell you that I didn't have any room in my orders for the treaty you sent me. Maybe this turn? :D

It would affect my allies too, like Paraguay. But yes, Brazil's army level is indeed a bit ridiculous... I could understand it in a small, handpicked elite army of 20.000, but in a levied force of 120.000?
