We are coming.

You tried to silence us.

You thought we would die off.

Now you will face the consequences.

You will loose everything you ever had.

And your power will slip right through your hands

We are coming by land and sea.

We are coming for you.

The Monarchy here is corrupt.

A king in a democracy is wrong.

We must bring democracy to you people.

We will bring democracy to you.

I regret the recent threats against Albania, made by PRF. Their blatant disregard for what the people of Albania actually desire only goes to show how much they actually care about democracy. As with the last time the Federation feel to infighting, I had hoped to have Albania remain neutral in the crisis, but if we are being directly threatened, then I have no choice but to the call upon the Albanian Royal Militia to protect their state.
 
This madness has gone on for too long. President Lilic must take the necessary action and hold new elections, both presidential and congressional. However, they cannot be conducted the same way as before. In order to ensure that the results are not tampered with, I believe that a joint commission of members of both sides must conduct the election to check each other and ensure that no fraud occurs. In addition, I believe that oversight by American election monitors is necessary to ensure unbiased confirmation of any fraud that may occur. As one of the oldest continuing democracies on this planet, I believe that Americans are especially suited for ensuring a clean election result. It may not be the most pleasant solution and I am hesitant to bring foreigners in to oversee our elections, but the circumstances have made it impossible to obtain any unbiased results from our own election officials. If President Lilic takes these steps and no irregularities are reported, then I will not challenge the results of these new elections. Should he be unwilling to take this essential steps to ensure an uncorrupted election, then Pán Krejci and I will not stand down and the protests will continue indefinitely. President Lilic would also prove himself unable to protect the interests of all people of this Federation, including those who do not support, to maintain national stability, and to continue to effectively lead this nation as president. I pray that he makes the right decision and ends this madness.

The Threats by the PRF show that it is an anti-democrati c insitutiton full of murders and bandits and thus the ban is perfectly justified.

Due to the recent threats I will be commandeering command of the Silesia Militia in order to compliment the forces of the Repbulican Guard in pacifying the unrest and rioting caused by the coup.

So you are taking a State Militia into other states in order to "pacify" it? that is abusing the powers given to you by the people, Silistria cannot and will not become the "Iron fist" of those corrupt few who seek to undermine Metternich and the revolution itself, Sir I call for resignation before you massacre the innocent for protesting unjust rule, or you shall be considered a war criminal by all concerned, and I have seen no State of Disorder called, thus your rights to do this are not invoked. Resign or face the hand of the law.

LE TEMPS
13. Janviner 1884 - édition parisienne - 8 cent.

La France entre en guerre pour l'indépendance de l'Italie
President Grévy yesterday signed a formal declaration of war against the Danubian Federation after both houses of Congress endorsed a formal petition by the Italian government to intervene against dictatorial overlords. The President confirmed in his address to Representatives that he fully supported Italian sovreinignity, but that the Federation's Ambassador was not willing to negotiate. Voting on the proposition was delayed to allow the Italian Parliament to officially secede from the Federation, with a formal Italian declaration of independence coming into effect at twelve noon yesterday. (continued pg 2)

By proclaimation of His Majesty, King Umberto of Italy, by the will of the People of Italy as expressed through the Parliament of the Kingdom of Italy, and by the Grace of God, the Kingdom of Italy does declare its complete independence from the Danubian Federation in all matters of state, governance and policy and affirms its everlasting right to sovereignty within the rightful bounds of the Kingdom.
 
((Also, we now have a formal coup. Somberg tells me that the protestors will not be taking up arms seperately, so please declare youself for Lilic's Government or for Metzler's Coup. Currently all the coup stands for is fresh elections. This vote is for Ministers and Military Leaders, so if you are in government or in command of something could you please point that out in your post - I have a list, but it makes it easier for me. The deadline will be on (Easter) Friday at 6pm BST.))
 
Since the Federation is now officially at war with France I beg the President to see reason and step down. This in not the time for Danubian to kill Danubian.
For the moment I forbid forces that has pledged themselves to the coup to attack forces loyal to Presiden Lilic unless they're fired upon first. I also beg the protesters to not create more instability at this dreaded moment. There's still time to end this peacefully and together defeat the French.

General Metzler
 
As Southern Front Commander, I hereby declare myself against this coup. This makes a joke even more of our democracy then some small rigging. I agree those responsible need to answer for it, but not through armed incursions. You claim now is not the time to spill the blood of fellow countrymen, and yet before the declaration came down you seemed willing and in fact quite open to the concept of fighting brothers. Not only have your reckless actions now lead to another civil war, but you've led the French to interfere in our affairs with Italy joining along for the ride. Let us finish this foolish coup quickly so that we may defend our nation from the perfidious Frenchmen and Italians.

I'm within my right as State Chancellor and Captain General of the Militia to do this so I have no idea what you refer to.

XXVI. The Captain General is the commanding officer of the Royal Silesian Guards in the event of mobilization.

According to this section of the Silesian consitution the Captain-General is the commanding officer when the militia is mobilized. The militia currently mobilized are now legally under my command and since I feel it is most efficent to have them join the command structures with the Republican National Guard I have done so.

General Metzler

Im afraid, me and you General are at different standpoints.

I was unjustly imprisoned for speaking out against Lilic, and now that the dominoes have begun to fall against him, I will be placing my own dominoes.

Until Free elections are to be held in Crete and President Jovan Lilic steps down from power, the PRF will occupy the island and the state government shall be suspended. Martial Law will go into effect and ALL Federation forces, except those loyal to the coup and/or the PRF, will be shot on site.

((As a general rule, i think we should stop all proceedings until Noco is back, we can't have a coup/revolution/rebellion/invasion with the president missing, It really makes things awkward to continue.)
 
*In a letter written by a Spokeman for the PRF, the organization asks its fellow communists across the federation to go to Crete and take up arms against the people who are trying to persecute them*

((BTW even though our characters are trying to kill each other, we all are still friends and fellow gamers right? :D))

As Chancellor of Austria I hereby announce the mobilization of the Austrian Militia. Any attempts by the Silesian Militia to enter Austria will be fully opposed by the Austrian Militia. The Silesian Militia must remain outside of Austria unless I approve of them entering, which I will only do if it is necessary for the defense of the Federation and the State of Austria. I also request that General von Tirpitz be given command of another army, he has shown complete disregard for the Austrian State Government and the people of Austria.

I will respect the wishes of the Austrian Government and the Silesian Militia. I will also note that Silesian Militia hasn't been deployed into Austria as of now and hasnt actually left the state of Silesia yet.

My fellow Danubians, we are faced with forces that seek to violently and recklessly dictate the future of this Federation. Only through solidarity can we overcome them, and ultimately save this most Blessed Danubia.

Domestically, we face the traitor, Otto Metzler, we believes it righteous to use armed incursions as leverage for his political assertions. It is with pride that I see other men of martial expertise are made of more honor, and more sense, such as General Laurenz Kunze-Serbanescu. I believe the good general is correct, that this coup is an insult to the very concept of democracy Herr Metzler presumes to be defending.

On a foreign level, we see the French and the Italian Kingdom exploit our current instability, declaring war upon our Federation to acheive their goals - the humiliation and subjugation of Danubian ambitions. Though we allowed a vote to be held for Italian independence and separation from the Danubian government, the Italian monarch now contradicts our democratic with insurrection, worked like a puppet for French interests, vile interests.

As a nation, now, more than ever, we must remain united. I know tensions run high given recent allegations and protests across the nation, but I must implore those dissenting - work with me towards stability, and leave your grievances to a time where we do not face destruction from foreign enemies. I point to a time in our history such as this, when civil war wracked the nation, sadly with my involvement. When the Bavarian tyrants entered the fray, it was I, and a good deal of others, who said "NAY!", and turned to those who matter, our kin.

Through my powers of the Presidency, I hereby invoke a State of Disorder. Furthermore, I, as Commander-in-Chief, shall call up the state militias of our constituent states under Federal control, to form additional forces to which we may use to act as a bulwark against French aggression, and to reestablish order in Italy. I shall consult with our military leadership, and with peaceful opposition leaders, to work together for Danubian stability. Peaceful opposition shall never endure armed dispersion, so long as it remains peaceful and not a tool for destruction.

May God Bless the Federation.

- President Lilic
 
The PRF will only stand down when one of two things occur.

1. President Jovan Lilic relinquishes power in order for another election to take place.

and/or

2. Crete is declared an independent nation from the Danubian Federation.

Until then, war is inevitable, and nothing any official may say to promote "Peace" will cause this coup to end.

Call us traitors, enemies of the state, and anti-democratic rebels at will, for your time as president is undoubtedly over.

You ordered the militia to join the Republican Guard which is in Austria, therefore the Militia would be entering Austria.
