what specs?

Posted in the OP, under the "The World" hider. Eight continents, four oceans, and a high degree of diversity when it comes to ecological zones.

Seats of Power

I'm eager to see how the map turns out so I can know my southern neighbours.

I appreciate that it is Prussia holding the knife, and not the Netherlands. That said, I can't think of anything that either of us would gain by killing off Leopold.

Krustaliem and Glacinus are completed.

The Foreign Office of the Kingdom of the Netherlands,

It is for reason of the sovereignty of the Kingdom of the Netherlands being disrespected, defied and impressed upon by the authorities of the Ottoman Empire, that the Kingdom of the Netherlands hereby ends all diplomatic contact with the Ottoman Empire and announces itself to be in a state of open hostilities with all bodies of the Ottoman government.

The past tense lasted until I realized that I'm a terrible artist.

World in Revolution: 1861

An article in a satirical Dutch newspaper reads as follows,

In response to Austria's 'reveal' of what Vienna is now calling the "Eurus Pact", the government of the Netherlands would like to publicly release a document that has been made available to the government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands only a short time ago. The document was spotted in a bottle floating at sea in the Mediterranean by a Dutch merchant vessel, who was able to be in the Mediterranean without issue on account of the fact that the navy of the Ottoman Empire is woefully incompetent, miniscule, and overall completely incapable of enforcing an effective blockade. The contents of the document, which is not stamped or signed by any power, but that the Dutch government somehow believes still displays the tyranny and oppression of the Ottoman and Austrian empires, is thus;
