Greeting to the Kingdom of the Netherlands from France.

As for now, we do not know the Dutch stance on Belgium, nor Belgium's stance on France, until we know that, we cannot respond to a potential non-aggression pact. Is the Netherlands seeking to potentially reincorporate Belgium back into the Netherlands? If so, we can discuss it once further developments happen with the current Belgian government.

As for Luxemburg, we recognize Willem I as the Grand Duke of Luxemburg, and Luxemburg's foreign policy to be run by Amsterdam. However, we cannot allow any attempts at annexation of Luxemburg, by the Netherlands or anyone, because of the French population within the country.

We will not look to sphere Luxemburg, but we will keep a heavy diplomatic presence in the country in order to keep Prussian influence out of the country to keep it neutral.

We also look forward to co-operating with the Dutch about colonization around the world and hope our colonial ambitions don't intercept.

Proclamation on the Rise of the United Netherlands

We are extremely proud that the international community has one again recognised Dutch glory and prowess, considering us not just a Great Power, but also possessing among the strongest Militaries in the World.

Due to our newly recognised power, the Foreign Office feels that it must issue a general statement on how best to organise the world at large.

In Europe, we thank the UK, The German Confederation and France for allowing our swift and painless reunification. This ends Dutch interest in European expansion.

We also state that the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is placed under our Protection and is firmly in our Sphere of Influence. We recognise French and German concerns over those populations, and we wholly and completely support Luxembourg's independence, insofar as that it is in union with the United Netherlands. We also support free movement of peoples from France and the German Confederation into Luxembourg, and hope that tensions over it can dissipate.

In the East, we are issuing claims and intent to annex Bali and parts of Thailand, and to colonise, when appropriate and technology allows, all of the remaining territory in the East Indies, including Tahiti.

We feel that, as in Atjeh, Bali is completely surrounded and contained by the United Netherlands, and has no trade nor business elsewhere, and we are merely formalising our already sizeable control there. We feel that our intent to annex is understandable and unquestionable.

On Thailand, we feel that the United Netherlands does not have the access to Tropical Wood and Silks that is afforded by other nations of our standing. We also notice considerable tension between France and the German Confederation over who gets what in the region. We feel that, as we are in no way politically a threat to German or French interests, that our control over the territory will simply defuse tensions over the region, without one side feeling that the other has beaten them. This is in preference to their independence and to their control by the United Kingdom for the following reasons: first and foremost, our control over these regions are benevolent and just. European supremacy will improve the lives of these people, and as the Netherlands is rapidly becoming a technological leader, we feel that we can bring gains to these people in equal measure to the United Kingdom, France, or the German Confederation. Furthermore, we see that British control over the region will simply inflame tensions, as Britain is the nation that all nations are aspiring to be (followed closely by the United Netherlands) that a sense of requiring to hinder British interests elsewhere will emerge, and we feel that this could disproportionately harm Britain, France, and the German Confederation. For these reasons, we think that allowing another option, that the United Netherlands, who already has considerable aptitude in management of similar territories, should control the region, is the best possible solution for the countries involved and the population of the region.

The Islands of Indonesia have been controlled by the Dutch for hundreds of years. It is simply the case that some regions are more hospitable than others, and with the advent of modern technologies and medicine, that these few remaining islands are brought into civilisation. The United Netherlands already has an easily demonstrable claim to Indonesia, and that claim is undisputed. Indonesia ought to be one region under one government, and the only choice for that government can be the United Netherlands.

On the Sultanate of Brunei. We acknowledge that the United Kingdom has interests in the city of Brunei itself, and the United Netherlands are happy to gift the city to Britain, in exchange for recognition of the Dutch claim to the rest of the island.

In Africa, we see the seeds of similar tensions to those in South East Asia emerging. Again, we emphasise that there exists another path, and that the United Netherlands is very happy to control contested regions, and arbitrate concessions between any sets of powers, and to manage the partition of these regions. We have a recognisably strong military, but we would wish that it remains unused.

Furthermore, we discovered in Brussels, upon our glorious reunification, that there were plans for a large scale humanitarian project to educate and bring modern medicine, science, and peace to the disparate peoples in the region known as the 'Congo', which we believe is made of three regions: the Congo Orientale, Bas-Congo, and the Congo delta. We applaud such intentions from our citizens, and we would like to announce that this will be going ahead. We will issue a Proclamation of Brussels to expand upon the framework in which we intend to help these poor souls.

A finally, we wish to announce that the Bank of Amsterdam, that most historic of institutions, should be open for full financial trading between governments. We wish to allow states and citizens to speculate in states of their choosing, and to finance measures and procure investments, for the good of all. A main office will be set up in all Dutch embassies, although we would like to stress that this bank is not an office of the Dutch state, but a private venture which we are very happy to support.

As always, we wish that the United Netherlands is approachable in our diplomacy and that all tensions with our European Brothers and Colleagues can be resolved peacefully and to our mutual benefit.

While we are enthusiastic about friendly relations with our Friends in Japan, we don't think that an offensive alliance is in our best interests at this time. Japan is not yet in full maturity, and we don't think that risking Japanese ascension with encouragements of expansion is a wise move. We must plant the cherry tree, and allow its roots and stem to grow think and strong before the blossoms are in their full magnificence.

With this, we are more than happy to sign a defensive alliance, and to formally recognise each others' claims to territory in the region, as above. It is only Clause I that we refrain from signing.

We would like to remind the Netherlands that they currently hold an alliance with Japan, which is also allied with Russia. In a militar confrontation with France, Russia would surely call Japan, and so Netherlands could face a diplomatic penalty for either joining a France call, or not joining it.

In such a situation, the United Netherlands, whilst formally being in a state of war, would assure Japan that we shall not invade nor inhibit their military actions, and will only attempt to engage those nations we are not allied with, and would expect that Japan do the same. Thus, the war is on paper only, and the treaty is still upheld.

The United Netherlands greets the new Administration of the United Kingdom, and extends a warm hand of friendship.

We are very regretful about our recent clashes; I'm sure Britain can appreciate that we were given a very sweet offer, and one which we couldn't turn down. If Britain had made a similar offer, first, we would have acted in British interests. I hope that no lasting impasse arises from this.

There are only a couple of matters which are of immediate concern for the United Netherlands that directly involves the United Kingdom: the status of the Sultanate of Brunei, and the Islands of New Guinea and African colonies.

On Brunei: Brunei has long been a goal of the United Netherlands, and it has recently fallen under Russian influence, which we feel is shocking, particularly for the sense of security it appears to afford the Sultan. Russia has no navy to speak of, and Brunei is an island, far from Russia, yet acts with Russian guarantees. The United Kingdom has both a strong presence in the East Indies, as well as renowned and unmatched naval prowess, and we ask for British assistance in negotiating for the release of Brunei from Russia, and its eventual incorporation into the territories of the United Netherlands, who is uniquely poised to provide the necessary administrative and logistical infrastructure to properly bring peace and prosperity to the island. Of course, the sanctity and security of the current British outpost and port on the island shall not be in any way questioned or threatened,

On New Guinea: the United Netherlands has, for many years, claimed sovereignty over the islands, whole and complete, but until very recently, the density of jungle and vulnerability to pestilence has prevented any serious attempts to bring protection and infrastructure to our claims. Upon acquiring recent technological breakthroughs, which make extended settlements in the eastern half of the island possible, we hastened to do so, only to find our presence questioned by the British! Surely, this must be some misunderstanding. Only the United Netherlands has the means to properly administer affairs on such far flung and disparate islands as Indonesia and New Guinea, and we do not wish to risk the welfare of the islanders in petty diplomatic matters.

On Africa: the United Netherlands has extended its claims in South Africa to claim a region which is currently contested by Britain. However, despite the excellent efforts of the Russian Court, no clear settlement regarding legal claims to Africa has been achieved. We feel that our status in Africa, and the allowing of British movements through our territory there to be of interest to the British, and we hope that through relinquishing our claims in Africa, we might realise our claims in Asia.

In a broader geopolitical sense, I hope that Britain's new Administration shares our deep and energetic wish for the betterment of all mankind, and in particular, the extinguishing of slavery, a goal Britain herself has worked exceptionally hard to achieve. We draw particular attention to the practises of Spain and Russia. Spain has received much publicity over its practices in recent years, and has been routinely condemned by the USA and France for their somewhat obstinate grasp onto slavery. Russia, however, still exhibits a system of feudal rights and serfdom which Western Europe did away with over a hundred years ago! They express support for the American fight against slavery, and actively condemn Spain, but do not appreciate the hypocrisy they exhibit over their own peoples, and keep them bound and fettered in a system not unlike slavery, by birth, which goes against everything a Good and Proper Person should consider moral.

As always, we in the United Netherlands are open for discussion, debate and negotiation, and we hope that our advances are not met with deaf ears, and that our proposals are of some interest to the United Kingdom. We also express our congratulations to the successful and fruitful marriage of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

The Secretariat for Foreign Affairs have taken their seats, and once again the Dutch are not blind to the World.

The main statement of our Embassies have been updated, alongside with our proclaimed goals and interests.

The Secretary wishes to note that all previous agreements with other states, unless clarified, are still in force. Despite the numerous and heinous evils of Capitalism, the bourgeois pig-dogs know how to manage foreign affairs.

We are also obliged to note our interests in maintaining control over the former Duchy of Luxembourg, whose Imperial 'master' is no longer ruling. For some time now, Amsterdam has had greater and greater control over internal affairs in Luxembourg, and her independence has been in name only. As we are implementing a grand reorganisation of our government structures, we feel that the time is right to fully incorporate Luxembourg into the DPRUN. The territory was not previously opposed as belonging to the 'monarchy' of the United Netherlands, and, in the same vein as the DPRUN respects other nations' claims to protect various other areas of land as they see best, we expect and wish that the international community sees that it is the prerogative of the DPRUN to best provision for and protect the former 'duchy' of Luxembourg.

The Chairman would also like to give a short account of the Glorious Revolution, so that minds are set at ease in foreign courts over the fate of Willem, the former monarch. The Glorious Communist Party has, for some time now, her power base in the capital of Amsterdam, and we had timed our Revolution for when the press-ganged army and defenders of the old regime were stationed in Antwerp, as part of a regional training exercise, and to oversee further recruitment. Because of this lack of defence of the Palace, very few shots were fired during the Amsterdam uprising. Over the course of a three-day siege, we took the Palace and seized 'his majesty' Willem, who remained in our custody until the formal dissolution of the government a week later.

We later learnt that upon receiving telegrams of the siege of the palace, the armies in Antwerp and Brussels had begun to march upon our comrades and brothers, who had answered the call and risen up across the United Netherlands in support. The bulk of our Proletarian Army moved out of Amsterdam to reinforce the barricades, but we made it no further than Utrecht before we heard of the slaughter. The army had passed through several days previously, with their state-of-the-art artillery and machine guns, and had slaughtered our comrades in cold blood. It should be noted that despite our capable organisation, we were, for the most part, hopelessly under equipped to be fighting such a powerful force as the Army of the United Netherlands.

The Army only ceased their butchering once they had received orders from Willem himself to stop, which were given a week after the palace was taken, and the Communist Party assumed power in the Hague. We will be commemorating our fallen comrades each and every year, on the day of our People's Revolution.

During our occupation of the 'royal' palace, I, Willem van Ravesteyn, the now General Secretary for the DPRUN, spoke personally with Willem, the former monarch - you shall have to live with the names - and we came to understand that he, much like us, was trapped by the power structures put in place by the feudal kings, and then the aristocrats, and then the bourgeoisie, and had been merciful, in what he could do. Truly, the vice and evil is not the people, whom we did not and will not harm, but the systems they impose. After the dissolution of the former government, we formally abolished the system of monarchy, and created our system of Proleterian Communism. We reclaimed all the lands of the United Netherlands, and confiscated the ill-gotten wealth of the capitalist and the aristocrat, and then ordered them to join their new brothers as factory workers in the mills in Amsterdam. Quite what has happened to them since, I do not know, but we thought that this was the fairest and best approach. Retribution for the sins of the man, not the sins of the father.

We hope that the international community understands and appreciates that the oppression of the worker has gone on too long, cannot and will not stand. We have shown great lenience and mercy in our Revolution and Liberation, and we wish that the ancien regimes either recognise and destroy their oppression, or join us in our march onwards to Utopia.

--Willem van Ravesteyn, General Secretary of the DPRUN

This concludes the statement from the Secretariat for Foreign Affairs.

We are puzzled by the alleged Netherlands monarch action, and so we understand it as pure communist propaganda.

Russia finds the rise of communism right in the middle of Europe as a threat to stability and order in the whole continent. We express our will to reinstaurate a monarchy with the support of other european powers; even a liberal constitutional monarchy would be preferable to this communist scum in government.

We'd like to send a message to Dutch population: you'll be freed soon.

Would you rather we shot our false monarch? In either case, any representatives you care to name are completely free to observe the state of affairs in the DPRUN, and even to seek out Willem, if you see fit. I'm sure he would appreciate Russian citizenship.

As for your threats of enslavement, I would calmly like to reiterate that, as our proclamation delineates, we are seeking to restore and maintain close ties with Europe, for the betterment of all, Dutch and Russian alike. It honestly pains me to see such scorn in the face of new opportunity.

If it makes you feel any better, the Chairman has recently said that he has no intentions of retiring, and will have to be buried with his desk and a stack of financial reports to make sure he stays busy for all eternity. That's what you 'monarch's are supposed to do, correct?
