((I don't think police actions existed in the 19th Century, but sense their is very little international law either, I guess we can create them))
Jaromír re-enters the chambers after leaving to go to the bathroom unannounced, carrying a giant thing wrapped in cloth & held together by rope on his back and a book about Slavs in his arm
Sorry for leaving during the discussion, I have been holding down urine for a couple of hours now.
Puts the giant thing wrapped in cloth on the coat hanger
But, in the bathroom, I found this book. After inspecting it, I had noticed an article regarding Slavic people living in Prussia called Sorbs. I must say that I am shocked to find out what has happened to these Sorbians, being denied to speak and write in their language! I never thought that a cultured country such as Prussia would do something a uncultured country such as the Ottoman Empire would do! I am sorry that this does not relate to our current topic regarding the ATC and ACA/AAC, but this just... so frustrating!

I agree that many atrocities have been committed in the lands of Europe and that it is very frustrating. I must ask why it is relevant to the discussion within these hallowed chambers?
Indeed, I saw a map but a few moments ago. What exactly are you trying to insinuate?
Are you suggesting that we attack Prussia because they treat these Sorbs poorly? I hope you are not as that would be very foolish.
-Aetios Spiros, Councilor of Crete (SDP)
I was thinking more of getting Prussia to allow the Sorbians to be accepted in their country, but not by war, as that would be horrible, but by using politics.
Mr. Jaromir I fail to see what we could do to convince Prussia to accept the Sorbians. Perhaps, you could speak with the ambassador to Prussia, so that he may bring it to their attention.
Perhaps speaking with him might work. But, as you stated, this topic had no relevance to the current discussions that are happening in these chambers.
I support the ACA, with the alterations that gospodin Than made.
I do not see how this is something we should deal with. This Congress has trouble running our own affairs, why should we interfer with Prussia's internal politics? Still, if you choose to voice a complant with the Prussian government, I will not stop you. I do simpathise with your wish to help the Sorbians, but I fail to see why it is our problem to deal with.
-Aetios Spiros, Councilor of Crete (SDP)
The government at large may not even be aware of a problem. I suggest bringing it to the Prussians attention, but not pressing the issue further.
That is Prussia's prerogative, not ours. How they treat their populace is for them to decide. If you have an issue with their actions, bring it up with their ambassador, but I daresay the response will be telling you to mind your own business.

Realising that she should get out while the economy still held up, Caterina quietly sold the majority of her stock in the ATC to her secretary and went back the Lombardia to continue planning her wedding; still the wealthiest woman in the Federation.
Name: Matthias von Marius-Parsifal
Date of Birth: 9th of September, 1827
Position: Councillor for Carinola
Political Party: Danubian Worker's Party
Biography: Son of a wealthy petite bourgeois family of German Carniolans; Matthias quickly became an idealist after being sent off to university and was a member of the 3rd Republican Infantry that was hastily assembled during the Revolution. Although beginning his political career as a fiery Radical Mattias soon mellowed into Radical-influenced centrism and served as a state legislator for Zentrum for quite some time. Recently crossing the floor to the DWP Matthias is now something of a social democrat; paradoxically he is also a fierce proponent of colonialism. In a curious mixture of racism and socialism he preaches that through controlled capitalism and democratic socialism it is the duty (indeed, the burden) of the White Man to liberate the foreign savage from his proto-capitalist and monarchist overlords.
((As was pointed out, playing as a woman is really very limiting and can get quite tiresome. Caterina will pop in from time to time; but simply is not viable as a main character as much as it saddens me.))

((Interesting mixture Ab!))
Henrik looks up.
Welcome to these chambers, Councillor von Marius-Parsifal. It seems that despite our main ideological differences, we both are advocates of colonialism. Strange how such a thing can attract men from such different beliefs.

Vasilios shakes hands with Matthias.
Welcome to the Council, Mr. von Marius-Parsifal. Despite belonging to different sides of the political spectrum, I am sure we will be able to work together. As I always say, compromising is the greatest skill of a politician.

Indeed, Herr Kraus. The urge of man to civilise and conquer the unknown is perhaps one of the greatest unifying factors of history; even though our aims and methods may diverge. And thank you for your kind welcome sir; I entirely agree on the value of compromise.
Spiros turns to the new councilor
Welcome Councillor von Marius-Parsifal, dispite that I disagree with you on several political and social points, I belive we will be able to work together for the good of the Federation.
