@SLL I think Boerd is just testing the waters for a chance to strike. Can't blame him, he IS Prussia :P

World in Revolution: 1861

Having given the Ottoman provinces of Tunisia and Egypt ample time to respond to our de-vassalisation order, we hereby semi-mobilise our armies and navy and will remove the despots who dare rebel against the empire by force if need be, and we request that all loyal officers in Egypt and Tunisia readily join us in putting down any rebels we may face.

We invite the Bey of Tunisia and the Khedive of Egypt to Constantinople to retire with honour and allow democracy to grow in the rest of the empire. The era of autocratic rule is over and we request that they understand that and comply.

This is an order by the Caliph and Commander of the Faithful, and failure to comply will equate to war against the Ummah and the Caliphate.

His Highness, Grand Vizier Mehmed Fuad Pasha, Prime Minister of the Ottoman Empire

No, I don't believe we did, just German speaking parts.

What's with Denmark on the new map? The territory taken by Prussia is much more than was agreed upon

Treaty of Bucharest

The following treaty is in accordance with the agreements between the United Principalities (to be referred to as Romania) and the Ottoman Empire in the year 1863 after negotiations took place in Bucharest between delegates of both nations. This treaty shall remain in effect until the signatories see it fit to end or renegotiate the terms. Annulment of this treaty must be declared 24 months prior to the date of termination.

Article I: It is hereby declared that Romania and the Ottoman Empire enter an alliance and shall aid each other should war be declared upon either of them, or should either declare war on any other nation.

Article II: It is hereby declared that trade from both the Ottoman Empire and Romania shall pass freely, without hindrance or extra cost through both nations.

Article III: It is hereby declared that Ottoman military units and Romanian military units are permitted to pass freely through the territories and waters of both nations, during times of war and peace.

Article IV: Romania and the Ottoman Empire hereby pledge to aid each other militarily in all ways possible, in order to ensure that both nations benefit from the progress and advanced military technology, training techniques and schooling of the other.

Article V: It is hereby declared that Ottoman and Romanian experts, in all fields, shall be exchanged in order to benefit from progress made by the other and to maintain the strong historical ties between us.

This is all as has been agreed, and all signatories are held firmly to their word,

Just to make it clear, I WOULD use the IRC, but for some reason I can't access it. I put my name in and click to join, but nothing happens

I could've made an Ottoman, forgot they helped out Francis...would've been interesting. Might make that a secondary character later

We are not impressed with the Empire of Brazil’s recent rhetoric on the possibility of seizing British colonies in South America. The Republic of Great Britain is currently going through a difficult period and we must all stand firm by it to ensure that order is regained and Britain continues its vital role on the international level.

It is most despicable to strike an enemy when he is down. However, it is an abominable, ignominious and most wretched thing to strike a friend when he needs you most, to drive the subtle, treacherous knife into them while their back is turned.

We truly hope that this recent Brazilian rhetoric is nothing but words and that they will not follow up with military action. We have…great respect…for Brazil as a nation of peace and hope in an American continent torn apart by war and destruction, and it would be most dispiriting to see this…great upholder of peace turn away from its principles and allow hypocrisy, greed and war to taint it’s…as of yet untarnished…reputation.

Haha, waiting makes it all sweeter in the end. The longer you wait for your wine the better it is, they say.
