[b]An open letter from King William III of the Netherlands to the British Parliament,[/b][/center]

Of late, I have found myself overcome with various curiosities concerning the Republic of Great Britain, and in particular her government's continued attempts at inflaming the gradually dissolving war on the European continent. Of special note in my plethora of concerns is the strong conflict between the two primary British interests on the mainland of Europe: the revival of the long dead Kingdom of Belgium, and the continued maintenance of the alliance between Paris and London. It was to protect those two interests that the United Republic entered into the war in the first place—by Albert Edward's words, not mine. Edward saw the Eighth Coalition as a 'Coalition of Tyranny', due to it having formed as a group of nations siding with the Kingdom of the Netherlands in favour of Dutch reunification. London saw the annexation of Flanders as tyrannical, of course. It is from that stance that my question arises.

The topical conflict occurs as a result of the Empire of France's stance on the legality of the current borders of the territory formerly called Belgium. As of the Treaty of Brussels, signed by Emperor Napoleon III, the Belgian state ceased to exist in any form, de jure or de facto. Its two constituent territories, Wallonia and Flanders, were transferred to the French Empire and the Kingdom of the Netherlands, respectively. I will reiterate that last point, so as to make it abundantly clear to The Honourable Albert Edward; Wallonia, a territory which the United Republic considers to be part of the Kingdom of Belgium, is currently recognized by France as one of its own constituent territories. That situation, a disagreement of sovereignty, seems to be precisely the same as the affair for which the British declared war on the Netherlands. The Netherlands recognizes Flanders as its own territory, Britain disagrees, Britain declares war. The Empire of France recognizes Wallonia as its own territory, Britain disagrees, Britain... does nothing?

The King of Rhetoric himself, Albert Edward, has not a single word to utter regarding the Wallonian situation. For Flanders to be part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is absolutely tyrannical, says The Honourable Prime Minister, and for Wallonia to be part of the French Empire is not something worth discussing. Besides displaying a horrific level of double standard, the British governor's continued denial of Dutch unity and acceptance of French ownership of Wallonia displays most importantly of all the true motives of his actions. Britain does not act in favour of law, or of treaties, or providence and virtue. This situation would dictate, instead, that Britain acts in favour of its own selfish designs. It does not fight for any reason other than to display dominance, as if rather than a collection of civilized nation-states, the countries of Europe were instead raging barbarians. However, I will give Albert Edward an opportunity to clarify his stance, so as to preserve his considerable and surely duly earned prestige.

What is London's position on Wallonia, Honourable Prime Minister Albert Edward?
