The German Empire recognises the nation of West Ukraine. In addition, we recognise the Great Wu as the new legitimate rulers of China, may our friendship be long and fruitful. We also congratulate the city of Madrid for it's successful bid for the 1916 Olympics, German athletes will be happy to compete in your lovely city.

To the Dutch, we reject the Troelstra plan. We Germans do not negotiate with foul Communists. Although we will offer amnesty to non-communist enemy forces. If the Bohemian Army agrees to lay down it's arms and allow German troops to occupy Prague without violence, we will be lenient to those who surrender and the city will not have to suffer the destruction that a siege would entail. In addition, should the West Galicians in Krakow lay down their arms, we would also gladly accept their surrender. The Communist nations should not expect such a kind treatment.

To the Serbs, we will not hold a plebiscite on Slovenia, seeing how well you accept the results of fair and just referendums. Slovenians are happy under German rule and are more concerned with Italian oppression instead of deciding on whether or not they will join a nation that advocates the use of plebiscites to decide matters of self determination whilst quashing one in another nation.
 
So, can I play as Canada?

I hope that this agreement can, at least for some time assure peace and stability in the region, and that yet another Oriental Crisis can be averted. The escalation of war in Iraq has already been averted, and we can still avert this war. Personally, as King of the Hellenes, i have to inform the Turkish authorities that i neither can, nor want to remove Prime Minister Venizelos from office. Venizelos was elected by the People, and by the right of the constitution can not be removed unless under certain preconditions. I also have to point out, that the removal of Venizelos under these conditions would be similar to involvement of the Turkish State into internal affairs of the Kingdom of Greece, something i, and the people, no matter how much we are willing to avert this war, can not agree to.
Hope still exists, that even without this, war still can be averted and hope exists, that the Turkish Government may agree.

It is with great joy that His Majesty, King Edward VII, congratulates the nations of Greece, Turkey, and Armenia on reaching a proposal that secures peace before hostilities could break out along each others' borders. We wish luck to all three nations as their relations improve, and look forward economically working with all nations in the region, now that stability has been restored.

As for Germany's rejection of the Dutch peace proposal, it is a shame but come's as no surprise to His Majesty's Government. We hope that the German's may soon see reason and come to the peace table with the rest of Europe, and stop this needless slaying of Europe's young and finest.

In other news, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland sends diplomatic recognition to the new nation of West Ukraine, and looks forward to seeing British athletes compete in the 1916 Summer Olympics in Spain's beautiful capital of Madrid.

This has been a message from His Majesty's Government.
 
OOC: it looks like Doom has dibs on Canada and Bohemia's pretty close to being eaten up by Germany. I mean, if you think it'll help the overall forum experience for other members then by all means sign me up for Bohemia. That said, if it won't make a difference one way or the other I'd rather just wait for a slightly less doomed nation to spring up. Regardless, I'll be monitoring this storyline closely.
 
You can have Canada, as doom was kicked from the game earlier, if you would prefer, but your choice. Bohemia would also be interesting as there would be some not insignificant international pressure backing you up.

Brothers and Sisters the time has come for our armed forces to be fully mobilised. Let total war begin! Let our enemies tremble at our might! Deus Vult!

After due deliberation, the Republic of Chile recognizes the Armenian Republic, the Iraqi Kingdom, and the Great Wu Empire; we hope that our future dealings with them will be forthright and productive. For the other nations, we will refrain from recognizing those new nations until the situation in the Balkans becomes more stable.

We also congratulate the Kingdom of Spain in its bid to host the Olympic Games; we hope to participate.

The People's Republic of Hungary​

We have faced many setbacks last year with the Germans and Romanians doing well on their respective fronts, a White Army rising up to destroy our government and a Slovak rebellion in the north. With regards to the German and Romanian advances, all I can say is this, the Hungarian people must rise and march to meet the invaders, to repel them back to their homeland, so it is known that we are never going to give up without a fight! To the White forces I ask we put our differences aside so we may fight off the invaders, for if we don't, there will not be a nation left to govern for either of us. The Slovaks have a right to govern themselves but I believe they will benefit a lot more remaining a part of Hungary, so in agreement with the National Assembly, I offer them autonomy and a referendum on independence set for 1920 if they agree to lay down their arms.

On a brighter note, it brings me great pleasure to announce that the Constitution of the People's Republic of Hungary is completed. I hereby present it to the people of Hungary and the World.

The Constitution of the People's Republic of Hungary
Approved by the National Assembly on December 28, 1915​

Preamble​

The Hungarian people have blazed the trail of history sword in hand. In struggle against their internal and external enemies, they have defended their existence as a people and nation, have fought for national freedom and independence, for their land and mother tongue, for their livelihood and social justice. After centuries of bondage, they achieved a major victory with the creation of the independent Hungarian national state in January 18, 1915.

The national democratic and revolutionary movement has been given a new impulse and content with the triumph of the great French Communist Revolution and with the spread of communist ideas, which marked a decisive turning point for the fate of the Hungarian people, too.

In the grave conditions of Austrian occupation, and betrayed by the ruling classes, the Hungarian people, under the leadership of the Hungarian Workers' Party united in the National Liberation Front, rose to their feet, and arms in hand hurled themselves into the greatest war of their history for national and social liberation. In the fire of the war for freedom, on the ruins of the old state power, the new Hungarian state of people's democracy has emerged as a form of the dictatorship of the proletariat. On January 18, 1915, Hungary won genuine independence and the Hungarian people took their fate into their own hands. The people's revolution triumphed and a new epoch, the epoch of communism, has begun.

In the conditions of the people's state power, under the leadership of the Party of the working class, great social-economic changes are to be carried out, which are outlined in this, the first Constitution of the Hungarian communist state. The domination by foreign capital and plunder of the country's riches are at an end. The capitalists and big land owners are to be expropriated and the main means of production passed into the hands of the people. They way has opened for the socialist industrialization of the country. The Land Reform will give the land to those who till it, and the collectivization of agriculture set the countryside on the road of socialism.

Social ownership over the means of production and the single system of socialist economy, which prevails in town and countryside, replaced the private ownership and the multi-form economy. The exploiting classes and the exploitation of man by man were liquidated. The entire social development proceeds consciously, according to plan, and in the interest of the people.

In communist Hungary, the working class is the leading class of the state and the society. New relations of mutual assistance and cooperation have been established between the two friendly classes of our society, the working class and the cooperativist peasantry, as well as the stratum of the people's intelligentsia. The work readily contributed by free people has become the decisive factor in the flourishing of the socialist homeland, in raising the general and individual wellbeing. Hungary has overcome its relative backwardness and has been transformed into a country with advanced industry and agriculture.

The vital forces of the people were freed and their inexhaustible creative energies burst out. In the unceasing process of the revolution the Hungarian woman had won equality in all fields, become a great social force, and is advancing towards her complete emancipation. Education and culture have become the property of the broad masses of the people, and science and knowledge have been placed at the service of society. The foundations of religious obscurantism were smashed. The moral figure of the working man, his consciousness, and world outlook, are moulded on the basis of the proletarian ideology, which has become the dominant ideology.

Communism will show its absolute superiority over the old exploiting order.

Hungary has entered the stage of the complete construction of communist society. The great historic changes have created new conditions for the continuous development of the revolution and communist construction.

The waging of the class struggle in favour of communism, the continuous strengthening of the state of the dictatorship of the proletariat and the deepening of communist democracy, the development of the productive forces and the perfecting of socialist relations of production, the steady raising of the wellbeing of the working masses, the gradual narrowing of distinctions between industry and agriculture, town and country, mental and physical labour, the affirmation of the personality of man within the socialist collectivity, the mastering of contemporary technology and science, the continuous revolutionization of the entire life of the country, are the main ways through which the socialist society is growing stronger and advancing.

The Hungarian people are determined to defend their national independence, the people's state power and their socialist victories against any enemy. Communist Hungary is always an active factor in the struggle for national and social liberation, for peace, freedom, and the rights of all the peoples against imperialism, reaction, and revisionism. In its foreign policy it is guided by the great ideals of socialism and communism, and fights for their triumph the world over.

The Hungarian people have found constant inspiration in the great doctrine of Marxism, under the banner of which, united round the Hungarian Workers' party and under its leadership, they are carrying forward the construction of communist society for a better life.

After much careful consideration, Her Majesty's Government has decided to uphold its time-honoured neutrality in this European crisis. The Troelstra Peace Plan has been rejected, arbitrarily and cynically, by the German Government. Without the cooperation of both sides, a diplomatic solution is currently inaccessible. While we strongly condemn German aggression in central Europe, its intransigent refusal to negotiate and its willingness to override international law for the sake of national self-aggrandisement, we shall not commit our people to a war that was not of their making. We have striven from the very outset to promote peace and reconciliation; we shall continue to do so from the side-lines.

We would ask all involved parties to respect and uphold the neutrality of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. We shall continue to trade freely with all nations.

Her Majesty, Wilhelmina, Queen of the Netherlands​

The Government of the Argentine Republic takes note and celebrates the embrace of a Constitutional Order announced by the Empire of the Great Wu. Although no other Western Nation has remarked the event, we believe this to be a cornerstone in the future development of China and look forward to establishing formal ties with them.

Accordingly, we also celebrate the agreement reached in the Middle East, defusing what seemed to be an imminent conflagration between Greece, Turkey and Armenia. We hope that cooler heads prevail in continental Europe and an agreement equivalent to the Troelstra Peace Plan may be achieved.

In light of the generalized instability, no further States will be recognized until the general situation stabilizes.
