The Czar is personally displeased with your policy regarding Russian expansion in central Asia. Any territory north of Afghanistan is considered imperial territory. We wish to keep Afghanistan and Persia independent as buffer states. |

The British government is in full agreement. We will not intervene in Kokand, Khiva, and other north central asian states. We will not however, tolerate Russian expansion into Afghanistan, Persia, Punjab, or Northern China (excepting of course Sofianova and Outer Manchuria).

Whitehall is committed to remaining out of continental affairs. We must therefore politely decline your request. However, let it be known that His Majesty is thinks that all German people ought to determine their own destiny. |

The King is not opposed to German expansion in Oman or in Arabia, however the colonies in Oman are claimed for Britain. We acknowledge Germany's interests there and offer a price of 500 k ponds sterling for the Omani colonies in Africa. As stated before, the King will only act on the continent to maintain the concert of Europe. However, if we feel that the balance of power is overturned, we will act to restore it. While Whitehall and Buckingham Palace deplore French aggression and will take steps to redress the injustice done to the Belgian populace, we do not feel that this French aggression does not bear action on the continent at this time. Moreover, the King is indisposed and currently being raped by final exams and will be for the next few years. We therefore direct you to our good regent in whom the King has complete trust. Colonial Policy updated

I think what the British Monarch meant is he will pay you 500k as compensation for backing out of the Oman war. The Monarch clearly states the Omani colonies are a British claim. At first, the British military Field Marshall only invaded Oman with the intention of gaining Kenya to connect the Indian Ocean with the British Sudan, but now that the Monarch claims the entire Omani coast, the British Armed Forces and the British Royal Navy are prepared to fully defend all of these claims. We point the Germans over towards the eastern half of Sokoto, or Ethiopia(should they limit their later colonization around Ethiopia to only the Galla/Werder state/modern Ethiopia, and Djibouti, as colonizing further than that could threaten the British Sudan and South Africa being connected), as the Monarch has shown no interest in protecting Sokoto and Ethiopia yet.

Right after he says he claims them all, and posts it on his policies that he claims them? He said offers, not requests 500k. I guess only he can tell us, lol. |

The King is sorry for the mixup, we are offering to buy the African colonies from Germany once they have been annexed. (OOC, if Germany annexes Oman before the current UK war w/ Oman is over, the UK won't loose prestige so lets just let Germany annex Oman)

we notice your policy with regards to sokoto and are quite alarmed and insulted as we did approach you about the matter before whitehall adjusted his policies. the french people are willing to negotiate peacefully for a money-compensation if the British are open to discussions. the door is only opened once by french ambassadors for peaceful moves, after that is thru strength of arms and the people of France are willing to become a full military socialist state if needed to protect and pursue our interests. the UK has claimed all the Portuguese and east Africa colonies and almost all of Egypt. we think that there can be a little leeway considering the fact we aren't even attempting to enter SE Asia the french people seriously hope the government of the UK can listen to reason and find good relations with our country. |

If His Magesty's Government does not wish to, in the future be held at the whim of a continental despot, as has been in the case in the past (Napoleon), they must reach out to the weaker party on the European continent and offer their aid. Prussia has long been a traditional ally of Britain on the continent, and we wish to continue this friendship and cooperation in the face of French and Russian tyranny and domination. |

The King indeed values German friendship and is sympathetic to their plight. However, we cannot intervene militarily unless the balance of power in Europe is directly threatened.

The president seeks clarification on the british stance in relation to the united states as he has repeatedly ignored the american claim to brazilian independence and infact outright ignored the american foreign office. If the lack of communication and continued threats to brazil carry on from whitehall then america will have no choice but to seek aid from its allies. Until then we eagerly await your response. |

heres our counter offer
Great Britain will accept all of these conditions with one minor modification. Should Britain break the agreement, there will be a prestige penalty equal to 200 points or the current prestige of Portugal (whichever is higher). Should Portugal break the agreement, a prestige penalty of 100 prestige or 25% of Portugal's prestige (whichever is higher) will be assessed. Moreover, the alliance (ie the guarantee of Portuguese sovereignty in Europe and its colonies) must be renewed in 25 year intervals beginning from, but not including 1850.

Whitehall apologizes for the lack of communication. We view cooperation with the Americas as a great priority. Whitehall guarantees the independence of all of the Western Hemisphere except for Brazil. It is a backward and backwater country of Brazil is not fit only to be governed by the Portuguese. Whereas former Spanish colonies are of a different creed than the Spanish themselves, most Brazilians are Portuguese citizens and resent the clique that has attempted to set up a puppet government. However, all other governments in South America are deemed legitimate and will be protected from outside encroachment to the best ability of the British Empire.

The Russian Empire would like to discuss the current war, between Russia and Germany, with the United Kingdom. We wish to assure the United Kingdom and the rest of the world that we had no more designs on German territory nor did we want to weaken Germany further. However due to the egregious way in which Germany began the war, breaking a truce and using a diplomatic loophole to attack without notice, Russia will be forced to punish Germany. We will return Schlesweig to the Danish and Schlesien to the Austrians. Russia understands the war looks grim right now but the Germans are overextended and Russia hasn't begun her counterattack. We would be willing and would prefer to sign a white peace with Germany if they discontinue the war immediately. We understand the Germans will not do this on their own initiative and ask the United Kingdom to pressure Germany for peace. |

Whitehall does not believe that this war will benefit anyone involved. However, the British government strenuously objects to your proposed goal of depriving the German's of more land. Such a move would irreparably damage the balance of power in Europe. We suggest that you modify your goals to humiliate, cut to size and force Germany to sign a non-agression pact with a prestige penalty should he break it.

Well the Germans have laid there terms bare...They do little to maintain the balance of power in Europe as was to be expected. These are the terms the United Kingdom is forcing on Russia if Germany is correct that they will win the war easily. We may have been willing to lessen our demands before but we will have to insure Germany is never a threat again unless they change their tone and agree to a white peace. |

On the contrary. Russia is fighting the Germans because they took land this is rightfully and historically German. Moreover, German re-acquirement of these lands will not significantly alter the balance of Power in Europe. You must remember that if Germany re-aquiers his lands in the east, he will set against himself two more countries, France and the UK.

Belorus, Poland and the Baltic states are rightful German territories? We have taken only rightful Polish land. It doesn't matter Germany will not be able to defeat Russia. The most they can hope for is to be able to protect their current lands. The Polish people recognize the Czar as their true ruler and will sabotage the German supply lines! |

On the contrary, the Polish people will fight for the freedom they will be offered under German protection as an independent state. Edit: We would be willing, to ensure unsubstanciated British fears, to transfer Austria into the British sphere, in return for a British guarantee of current Prussian territory, including ostpreussen, Posen and Westpreussen. |
