I think Outcast might die from an overabundance of typing and reading if we asked him to start another before this one is finished. Haha. It's already requiring a lot of work I imagine and we aren't even past the first turn.

Wish it would be sooner but definitely not complaining. I'm excited I know fighting a defensive war is supposed to be advantageous, but I guess we'll see how it affects everything.
Also wish it was sooner, but definitely excited....and scared as heck. Those ominous words by God have filled my mind with horrors of the British Empire bankrupt, no army or navy, and the Prussians doing a tap dance across London.
Just curious, but is there a rulebook for how WIR work? Or is that to the discretion of the GM? How are rolls and such determined?

Will be travelling on-and-off the next couple of days. I'll still be on, but probably not to the extent that I have been so far. Update once I stop travelling, then after that, the mother of all mini-updates. Some of y'all are going to learn a harsh lesson in the costs of war.
That doesn't sound ominous at all....
Looking forward to the Conference. I'm available really for the next 24 hours if we want to do the IRC. Just let us know when or what would be preferred.
To the Emperor of Brazil, we commend your decision to pursue freedom for all peoples. Your decision to move forward in the arena of human rights in your Nation is proof that the United Kingdom made the right decision to support your Nation as the potential leader of the Western Hemisphere. It is our strongest desire that Brazil will free the slaves in a manner that will be both humane and without strife. The Empire of Brazil is truly one of peace.
To the United States of Mexico we commend your neutrality in this war. The United States of Mexico have chosen the side of Justice as opposed to tyranny. We are thankful that the people of Mexico are rational in thought.
We cannot say the same for the nation of Prussia. The mobilization of the French army is no cause for concern for their nation as Prussia has very little to actually offer that the French would want. Should Prussia mobilize, they must know that the United Kingdom will stand by our brothers with our navy and soldiers. If Prussia makes war against the French, they will also make war against the United Kingdom.
To our brothers in France, we urge you to continue your preparations and know that your allies in the United Kingdom will stand not only behind your nation in support, but on the front lines in cooperation.
The United Kingdom would ask that the other Nations of Europe stand with the French Federation of Great Britain in our defense against the paranoia of the Prussian Empire. We have no desire for war on the European Continent.
To the Confederacy, we commend your first battles as a nation in the defense of liberty from a tyrannical regime. Your nation has proven their valor against superior forces and done so in a manner of honor and justice. At this moment, our Navy is on the way to you and we will assist in the defense of your shores. We reiterate that the United Kingdom will stand with the Confederacy against the Tyranny of the Union.
To the Union; you have acted in a manner that is aggressive and spurned all attempts at peace. Your national government has proven itself to be unworthy of the responsibility it was entrusted with. Rather than attempt a peaceful solution with the Sovereign state of the Confederacy, you have chosen war. There is a time for war and a time for peace as the word of God states. Unfortunately you have forced the former.
As such, the United Kingdom as ratified by Parliament, signed by the Prime Minister and Queen, now declare that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland is officially in a state of war with the Union. May God have mercy on your souls.

@Heyitsjiwon; I would suggest Argentina or Mexico. Get some more going in South America!
