We also wish that both [b]Prussia[/b] and [b]Denmark[/b] would come to Turin in order to settle the matter of Schleswig-Holstein. While I shall not disclose my opinion on the matter of who should own what, the UKSN believes that it was wrong to make this decision with the presence of Denmark. Therefore, we wish that Prussia would cancel or postpone their ultimatum to Denmark until the subject can be discussed in Turin. We desire to prevent any bloodshed in this matter, especially for our Scandinavian brethren to the south. Sweden is also proud to announce another non-aggression pact. [hider=Swedish-Russian Non-Aggression Pact][center][b]Preamble[/b][/center] [center]This treaty has been drafted for the purpose of European neutrality in the conflict that has erupted on the American continent. This conflict has already caused tempers to soars for both sides of the conflict. Some clamor for the Union, others for the rebels. However, it is in Europe’s best interest to remain neutral in this conflict, lest a war unlike any other that mankind has ever seen will descend upon our nations. Therefore, the nations of Sweden and Russia has decided to sign this treaty, the Swedish-Russian Non-Aggression Pact for European Neutrality, to show our support in staying neutral in the American conflict and hopefully preventing a Pan-European War.
