Recent relations between the two world powers had never been the best, in fact for many the sudden shift in political relations had been a shock. However, both powers were united in their mutual feelings of the Seljuk threat. It’s aggressive behavior towards nations both friendly and otherwise was not unheard of. Many called it an alliance of necessity, however the Zellonians and Blutlands called it the “The Coalition”. A promise of support towards any outside threats.
Donation towards our allies
After the demanded ransom for the lives of the brave Zellonian men who fought in died for the Seljuk’s right was made so traitorously by those they fought for, Blutland offered support and payment of the very ransom. King Arnold von Titanus commented on the matter “This $10,000,000 donation towards our new found allies will not only build trust between our two nations, but save the lives of innocent men who had done nothing wrong, but help a fellow nation in need. Let this go to show the attitude the Seljuks take towards potential friends, by biting the very hand that feeds them. May the Sultan himself choke on the very money he cries for so woefully as his countrymen starve.”

I am now doing population rolls. Please respond to this post to get a roll since other wise I'm going to have a hell of a time trying to find and track everyone down and because I'm a lazy fuck.
Just give me a roll on my beautiful biker gang knights.
After nearly an hour of receiving the telegram, Chief of Army Wolfram Ducke quickly sent message to King Arnold von Titanus “My King, it has come to my attention that our colony is at the brink of rebellion, I request full authority to act as I deem necessary and request full authority over the army. The situation at hand seems drastic and are in desperate need of strategic redeployment of our men.” The note was then handed off to a messenger, who quickly left to the Grand Palace.
Arriving nearly three hours later, King Arnold looked over the letter carefully. “So the Hakar killing where simply the beginning of a potential uprising in our colonies. It is a shame that we must take such a drastic turn. Inform Wolfram Ducke that he has full authorization to begin reorganization of the colonies and in the case of rebellion, responding with the full force of the Blutland military.”
When General Kieffer received word that his many of his men were to be sent home he was ecstatic. The telegram read “Due to the current situation within the Serranthian army and our goal to seek a rather peaceful occupation of our overseas territory a recall of men has been ordered. By the end of the month nearly 30,000 men are expected to be returned to the mainland, leaving behind a more focused force of 70,000 men to defend and maintain our colonies.”

Order Unnecessary Elements of the 4th Army Returned to Blutland: Obviously the lack of infrastructure has caused chaos among our soldiers, as General Kieffer indicated. We must recall extraneous soldiers from abroad so that cleanliness and order can be maintained.
Korclev License
Negotiations between the Kingdom of Jouran and founder of Vermögen gräbt, Lennart Ohly where fierce. Due to the legality of licensing to foreign countries, King Arnold von Titanus official seal was required to continue talks of selling the Hollum-Keffler Petrol. A process that took nearly six days, over what was assumed to be long hours of discussion between the King and his advisors.
It was not long before Lennart Ohly, and the Jouran representative finally game to a fair deal between the two countries. When asked about his opinion with selling to the Kingdom of Jouran, Lennart Ohly responded “It is with great honor to expand trade of Blutlandic goods outside of our national borders. It shows the great innovation and skill of Blutland scientists and engineers.”
Lennart Ohly, 1910
Sell the License to Korclev Auto's: Blutlandic inventions are indeed some of the greatest in the known world. By expanding trade within the nation, we bring ourselves closer to the Jourans, as well as provide our own inventors and entrepreneurs some credibility in the international marketplace.
Zellonia hypocritical warmongers
After the recent tensions between Kavonia and Jouran, it has come to the attention of many that Zellonia has chosen to side with Kavonia with the message of forcing Jouran to disarm. What many fail to realize is the lack of mention of Zellonia’s own massive military build up, one that had lead to controversy earlier this year and lead many to believe that they are preparing for war. Adam Elsner, a political theorist and writer for the Blutland National News, commented “This is the most blatant case of warmongering since the Tyro-Antari’s attempt of full political control of the Blutland peninsula before the War of Seven Kings. I suspect that they only seek to establish full dominance over the continent, at this rate. A frightening goal indeed if they establish relations with the Republic of Stratia.”
It was not long after the Zellonians sent an entire armada to handle the Seljuk civil war, were nearly 2 million Karelians revolted in an attempt to become free of their foreign oppressors. A sympathetic plight for many Blutlanders. Elsner continued by mentioning “This Zellonian fleet is only another step to establish control over the Seljuks. I wouldn’t be surprised if they forced them to surrender territory as a ‘gift’ for helping them in this plight.” Polls show that many feel that the Zellonians are an even bigger threat to Blutland security then the Tyro-Antari Empire, a long time rival of Blutland.
Support for Karalia
The official position towards the Karalian people for many Blutlanders has been sympathetic to say the least. King Arnold von Titanus even commenting “It is only a matter of time before the the Seljuks, these so called supporters of peace, crumble under their many layers hypocrisy as they continue to violently oppress the Karalian peoples.” Not long after an unofficial shipment from Blutland of nearly 50,000 Otto Mk.2 rifles had been sent to Karalia through the Tyro-Antari Empire.

Foulois Accord
With few contesting to Blutland demands, many of which argued over who should claim ownership of the Islands, Klaus Ritshel simply stated “With no one arguing against the Blutland demands for trade rights on the Islands, then it is only safe to assume that this issue is resolved. It brings a smile to my face that fellow sovereigns can agree on one thing at least.” Before sitting back and letting the heated debate between the Tyrian and Zellonian diplomat continue.

The meeting room was well decorated for the rather dire tone between all parties involved. Had this been twenty years ago war between the two giants would have broken down and likely thousands would have died, but it was a sign of change. Diplomacy was the first option and for some the only option when it comes to relatively minor disputes. Neither nation felt the need to enforce their claim on the Island, not without the right justification.
Minor greetings between all parties were given, even the Tyrians managed to swallow their pride and greet the Blutlandic Diplomats. After introductions each party then explained the situation as if anyone had arrived ill prepared for the entire reason they had come in the first place. Seizing the opportunity Roman Hettinger began to speak, well dressed as ever he wore a fine suit and a clean top hat. “After the recent invasion of the Tyro-Antari troops on the Islands trade has been severely dampened. We wish to see this issue reimbursed fully whether the Tyrians continue to lay claim to the territory or the Estalians take what we believe to be rightfully theirs.” He paused for a second to assess the room, “I can however understand if the Tyrians wish to continue to impede the rights of another sovereign nation as they do to so many others.”
Roman Hettinger, 1910
The Great fire of Titum
After a recently fire killing nearly 312 people in Titum, Blutland many are left homeless and mourning. A ceremony on March 28th, 2 days after the incident, was held and attended by King Arnold von Titanus and Duke Eduard II. “It is a great tragedy what has happened within our lands. A ball of passion and love, resulting in ultimate despair. When I was king of these lands we took great pride in the unity we shared. The unity I have come to share. It warms my heart knowing that our new King is so willing to do the same.” Duke Eduard II was quoted to have said, before introducing the King to the podium.
“Thank you, Duke Eduard. I have traveled a great distance to come mourn the loss of 312 men, women, and children whom lost their lives. Lives lost at to young of an age, taken away cruelly and without mercy, no without purpose. I understand the anger felt towards the lost we have today both sudden and cruel as fate may be.
However, we must remember one thing. One truth to the words that I speak. We are Blutlanders. United together now, more than ever. Remember the lives they got live, one of a strong peoples. One of the strongest of peoples. We face many hardships, many losses, and yet they endured. So I ask that you try and do the same. It will never get easy, but pride yourself in the strength to survive loss.”

Roman Hettinger pushes Trade Rights issue by +5 (-1 due to rights issue) in Blutland’s direction
After the recent actions of the Tyro-Antari government against the Estalians on the small chain of Islands known as the Koringas Islands, discussion over who should own the predominantly Estalian Islands was brought into question. With an invitation to the Foulois Accords King Arnold Von Titanus called a meeting with a group of foreign advisors on the position that they should take.
Thirty six of the fifty possible advisors made way into the council room, it was not entirely uncommon for members to be missing. “Greetings gentlemen, I have called this meeting to discuss our current position in the Foulois Accord. Two of our rivals have been interlocked into a conflict over the Koringas and thus are seeking a diplomatic solution to the issue. Seeking neither of our potential enemies getting too strong the in the region I am seeking potential solutions to the problem at hand.”
An older gentleman and former General in the Blutlander Army during the war of Seven Kings spoke up “My lord, with the utmost respect I would rather die than see the damned Tyrians gain a single ounce of territory after so long oppressing our peoples. I say let the Estalians be ruled by Estalians like so many Blutlanders asked for nearly ten years ago.” Many shouted in agreement. The vulgar insults towards the Tyrians muffled by the shouts of support for the idea.
Somewhat controversially another man spoke up, a noble from the north from what was once known as the Duchy of Feuer, named Nikolaus Berkel, a former general for the Tyro-Antari who gained recognition for having his men turn on Duke Christoph III during the battle of Schwarz Bridge, thus earning a place as a high ranking noblemen within the Blutlander court once the war was over. “While I feel sympathy for the Estalians, they themselves do not hold Blutland in high recognition either, should we really be so quick to concede the entire Island to them? I say we split it between our two foes possibly turning them on eachother rather than ourselves.” Nods of recognition to the idea was given, however many advisors were displeased with the idea.
“So we let the Tyro-Antarians simply waltz into whatever land they please and claim it as their own? At this rate we might as well cede the entire kingdom of them as well. Not a single inch. That is what we were told during the war. Do you understand the meaning of those words Mr.Berkel? It means we don’t let give a damn inch of land to the Tyrians even if it means every last one of us lay dead on the ground. I refuse to accept giving them anything.” Victor Von Klienelseut shouted, cousin of the former king of Klienelseut, Duke Eduard II, he fought alongside his men on the battlefield as an enlisted infantryman. Not only did it help boost morale, but the prestige of his family house as well.
King Arnold Von Titanus, had given thorough thought on both sides of the argument presented. “While I do not like the rather distasteful attitude towards our nation by our cousins in the east I do feel that it would only be hippocritical of our people to turn our backs on the voice of the Estalians living in the Koringas Islands. Thus I shall propose that we send our diplomates with the intention of supporting the Estalians and whatever solution they bring. We do not want to sound too aggressive if the Estalians themselves do not wish to take the Island under their banner, but if they so chose then we shall support them in every way possible.”
Some grumbles could be heard in the council chamber, however many left with stern nods of approval. The king himself was still not entirely sure if this was the correct course of action, however he felt that it stood as a testament of his people's faith in their right to exist as a single unified people and their ambitions to fully liberate those still under Tyro-Antari rule and refer to themselves as citizens of Blutland.
Several hours after the council meeting was held, King Arnold von Titanus had selected five diplomats to travel to the Foulois Accord in his name under the conditions of working with the Estalians. The first diplomat was Klaus Ritschel, a rather young gentlemen at the age of twenty nine he had served in the 10th Blutlander Artillery Regiment during the war and had made a name for himself in politics working as a foreign diplomat and helping establish ties with foreign nations when Blutland officially announced its unionification. Wolf Schau was an easy second choice, easily the most experienced of the five he had severed as a diplomatic envoy for the Duchy of Vergesen to the Kingdom of Siedort when asking for assistance against the Tyrians, though he holds no anger towards them directly. Next was Roman Hettinger, a gentlemen raised by a small yet wealthy family in what was once known as the Kingdom of Klieneleut he sported a rather extravagant uniform and top hat, a man whose style matched his way with words. Peter Fleischmann was selected due to his close friendship with King Arnold von Titanus’ cousin Woldemar von Mummert, not truly being that outstanding in the world of politics but he certainly knew people in high places. Lastly was Hinrich Schantz, a rather old gentleman who once served as an advisor for King Arnold von Titanus before the unification of Blutland, he had thus began his service as a diplomat shortly after the war.

Fledgling Navy
After the war of seven kings the Blutland navy was lackluster to say the least, consisting mostly of out of date ironclads, commerce raiders, and other out of date technology, reconstruction of the once grand coalition fleet has begun. After years of budget delays due to rebuilding the war torn north, the king has decided the time has begun to focus on the country's military needs as well. One of the first ships of many to be built include the Blutlandia, a top of the line dreadnought expected to be the first of many ships to help protect anything from Blutland’s coasts to its overseas interests.
The planned construction of the Blutlandia had begun sometime last year, and is expected to be fully operational by the summer of 1910 alongside a single light cruiser, the Totermaan, and four destroyers, the Kleinerjunge, the Liebesmaschine, the Grobershlag, and the Herzog. Mike Schulz, future captain of the Blutlandia was quoted saying “The construction of the Blutlandia is the first step towards establishing Blutland as a world power.”
Mike Spitzer of the Spitzer and Franz Shipping has also stated “Me and Stephan couldn’t be happier working with our king to construct a fleet comparable to our cousins to the East. My son fought and died fighting for the freedom of Blutland and I feel as though this is also my way of honoring him.” Our reporters were unfortunately unable to interview Stephan Franz on his opinion of the move, however reports say that he couldn’t be happier with the current contract set up between their company and Blutland.

Terrorists executed
On March 16th 14:00 Centran Standard, a man named Laurenz Katzen was arrested after holding a group of nearly forty people hostage at a train station and killing three security guards on duty. The man claimed to be the voice of the revolution and that the day marked the end of “corrupt and capitalistic society”. After an hour of demanding the people join him in revolution and calling for the death of King Arnold von Titanus police stormed the building.
Unfortunately during the ensuing firefight the man had killed nearly ten hostages before finally being captured. The next day on March 17th 8:00 marked the time when Katzen was hauled out of his small prison. According to eyewitness reports he was severely bruised and missing an eye, shortly before being blindfold, put up against a wall, and executed on the spot.
Some have argued that he should have been given a trial as a citizen of Blutland, and that the execution was a violation of his rights, however Captain Niko Wittgenstein, the police captain in charge of his execution, stated “According to Blutlandic law an enemy of the state is to be executed without trial or jury. The man called for the head of our King and those who serve him, he couldn’t have fit the bill better.” This did not stop the ensuing protest of nearly twenty people, however police were able to control the situation and disperse the crowd.

Colonial Garrison increased
After recent debate over increasing the already substantial garrison of men in the Serranthian colony, King Arnold von Titanus has issued a command to almost double its size. An increase from the rather substantial 50,000 men to nearly 100,000 men stationed within the colony. He claimed that the territory was “simply too large to have such a meager force defending it, and with Estalians, Zellonians, and Tyro-Antarians breathing down our back looking for a slice of the pie we can not trust to keep such a small force there.”
Some have argued that this is a rather aggressive act by the nation to establish its control over the native populations of Serranthia, however King Arnold von Titanus did not make a comment in regards to the issue.

Nation's Government: The people of Blutland are a traditional monarchy where the ultimately the kings word is law. However, though reluctant to do so, the king has relinquished some of his power to the noblemen whom elect fifty men among themselves to represent the people and advise the king in matters of law, war, trade, and various other aspects.
Head of State: King Arnold von Titanus
Nation's Description: Blutland once compromised of several small kingdoms and duchies found themselves in a constant state of war between themselves and outside forces. It was not until the war of seven kings nearly eight years ago, where the kingdom of Siedeort and her two allies the Duchy of Vergesen and the Kingdom of Klieneleut fought against the Tyro-Antari Empire and its puppet states. The war was long and bloody, but by winter the Kingdom of Siedeort had pushed back Tyro-Antari forces behind the river. Both sides weary of crossing, decided to agree to a status quo, where the Kingdom of Siedeort kept all land gained. It was not long until the two kingdoms and duchy decided to unite under a single strong ruler, electing King Arnold Von Titanus, former king of Siedeort to take the throne. As composition both the Kingdom of Klieneleut and Duchy of Vergesen where granted semi-autonomous status. However after a series of reforms, that has been slowly stripped away.
Culture: The people of Blutland, while sharing common culture, have long since been independent from one another or have been placed under foreign rule. The Southern half of Blutland prides itself in its literacy and industrialization in comparison to their recently conquered northern brethren. However after the war of seven kings a modernization program has been put in place to educate the populous and to quell any Tyro-Antari minorities.
Military: It is considered a honor to serve in the Blutland military, a tradition carried on from the Kingdom of Siedort. Men are required to sign up for the military draft between the ages of 18-21 and serve a minimum of a year in the military.
Geography: Blutland is a rather flat country to the south and is filled with many plains and rivers, while to the north it is filled with many hills and a large mountain range extending across the northern border, until about halfway to the beginning of the Blutig River (River between Tyron-Antari and Blutland.)
