More soldiers enter the chambers, they proceed to arrest the Hofburg Guards and release any Federal soldiers. They then stand at guard awaiting further orders.
If the Congress wants to attempt to defy the order to dissolve, then it shall be done by force. As martial law continues to have effect I hereby order the Republican National Guard to enter the capital of Vienna and to evict the stubborn members of this congress

((This was....very sudden and weird. What is going on lately? Also, I thought it was going to be modded in, after all, there was no way we could have demanded Moldavia to be part of us as a wargoal.)) I hereby withdraw my previous bill.Delegates and representatives mostly ignore this pompous proclamation, and Hofburg Guards swiftly disarm and arrest those few Federal troops tasked with 'dissolving' the Congress
Concerning the proposed goals, I find them wholly unsuitable. While I approve of colonisation as the manifestation of the divine European viceroyalty over the savages of the earth; those territories that have been put forwards for consideration hardly fit the bill. The Balearics for example are civilised islands filled with Spaniards; and neither in need of Danubian civilisation as we have no need of them. God forbid, as they cannot be a colony they may demand statehood.
The Canaries are more suitable but I suspect they are also filled with Spaniards and I would very much like to avoid randomly annexing the civilised. I would instead recommend the annexation of Spanish Morocco (ie. Melilla) to give us another foothold on the African continent, civilise the savages, and even blockade the Straits if need be. Also whilst annexing the entire Philippine island-chain would be difficult and unrealistic it is my considered belief that annexing the large northernmost island of Luzon would be a considerable advancement of our interests and trade in the East and much more easily accessible now due to the Suez Canal.

((Haha, no. Nice try Max. Also, the Balearics of part of the region of Catalonia in-game and cannot be added as a separate war-goal. Annexing or freeing the entire Philippines is absurdly difficult in regards to war-score and should not even be considered.))
I'm a barking madman who wants to destroy democracy? I think I'm quite the contrary...I am the man trying to uphold democracy by keeping you bloodthirsty animals who would kill your own people from power...If I must die trying, so be it.

Then you shall die, thankfully. Last thing this Federation needs is more people following the suit of the DRB.
