@Giant: Historically yes that should be happening, but this game has been rather ahistorical thus far so i do not know. GM's call. Also nothing personal intended by in game rhetoric, just felt like posting something not related to Europe.

Excerpt from an address to the nation delivered by Pedro Santana, Great Emancipator, Liberator of the Nation, Governor-General of Santo Domingo, and President of the Dominican Republic

Fellow compatriots, it should come to no great surprise that President Mariano Ospina of the Confederación Granadina is not only a liar, but also a hypocrite; a regular Judas in filthy rags. When not decrying unconfirmed ills supposedly perpetuated by Mother Spain, Ospina is content in whoring his kinfolk out to Yankee and Brazilian imperialists; his lack of dignity about the aforementioned process frankly makes me keel over in painful convulsions.

Having greedily sucked the tit of the wretched Simón Bolívar dry Ospina repaid the favor by driving the man to his death; while, I Pedro Santana a loyal subject of the Spanish Crown have no love for General Bolívar, he at least deserved to die honorably rather than be poisoned by New Granada traitors. To expound further there is no doubt that in my mind that Ospina was in fact behind the dastardly plot to kill his former mentor; it is well established that repaying cruelty with cruelty is the modus operandi of the black hearted.

Ospina and those of his ilk would like to collectively force us under the bloody hatchet of the Haitians once again and for that I curse them…right now my voice echoes throughout the halls of Paradise and will bring down angels of divine justice against those that wish to do this great nation or Mother Spain harm…

Reino de España (Kingdom of Spain)
Plus Ultra
While the Kingdom of Spain bemoans the escalation of armed conflict as peace is what a true servant of Jesus Christ strives for we will not besmudge the collective honor of our subjects by abandoning our allies in there time of need. Thusly I issue this declaration of war against the Ottoman and Austrian Empires, their Kingdoms and Subjects to be executed in all my dominions by sea and land. In these times of tribulation I am reminded of a Psalm my late father Ferdinand VII was fond of:

“Keep Thou not silence, O God; hold not Thy peace, and be not still, O God.
For lo, Thine enemies make a tumult, and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head.
They have taken crafty counsel against Thy people, and consulted against Thy hidden ones”

May these words forever ring true.

- Por la gracia de Dios y la Constitución de la Monarquía española, Reina de las Españas
