The Federal Republic of Mexico would be deeply interested in the state of Cuba, and the other islands of the West Antilles. We would first like to see what the Spanish asking price is for the islands however. We would love for peaceful co-operation with the Spanish delegation, and we would also like to remind Australia that the island they are referring to is called the Hainan Island.

The South African government, with the large and giant population that is South Africa does not have anything to do with their lives. Thus all politicians are not skilled map makers and maps can be made for a price of 50 pounds per map. (IG money) Maps can say what ever you want as long as it doesn't challenge South African claims, if that happens the price is 500,000 pounds. - Governor General A. Person |

The Swiss government would like to ask France, Austria and Prussia to sign the previously negotiated treaties. Once these nations have responded, the treaty will be written up.

[align=center] Let us remind Swiss government that they have so far rejected all the offers from our side, even though the last one basically the same as Prussia and Austria offered. If Switzerland continues to stubbornly reject any negotiations how are we supposed to make a deal? It's very unclear what Switzerland is trying to accomplish by these acts, they want neutrality but at the same time they expressed desire to gain some colonies, also Switzerland's intention is to allow foreign troops to retreat to their land which in our opinion is opposite of being neutral. French diplomats feel very annoyed and will not make any new deals until Switzerland decides what course of actions they are going to make. In French eyes there is no such a thing as partial neutrality. [align=left]:BIFRA:[/align][align=right]:BIFRA:[/align][align=center] |

Switzerland is completely neutral, however we allow foreign nations to enter our territory, BUT THEY CANNOT LEAVE. They are required to stay within our borders until hostilities have ceased. So if Nation X moved 20k troops from France into Switzerland after being encircled or something similar. Those 20k would remain in Switzerland til the end of the war, and would not be allowed to leave. All nations who enter Switzerland agree to this. It's to prevent that extra loss of life after encirclement with the same effect. Our offers to the Prussians and Austrians is that they will defend Switzerland in case of Switzerland being attacked, and that they will not invade Switzerland. Switzerland has made no concessions, it is merely to affirm our neutrality. As for acquiring colonies, the Swiss would like colonies, however, we will not fight for them, if some colonies are open to financial conquest, then we shall of course pay for them.

Japan would like to point out that the swiss cannot allow movement through their country durring war while remaining nutral. This is a violation of international combat law. In order scenario above to occure, the swiss would have to choose a side in the conflict. Suggesting swiss land can be used as some sort of magical haven to allow selected partys to escape encirclement is simply a fantasy. |

The Japanese had best reread international laws. "Troops who enter into neutral territory are considered "interned" and must stay there until the end of the war". Switzerland is in agreement with this, but demands money payed for these troops here. To put away our nice tone.

While you are correct in stating the ONE of the penaltys for breaking international combat law, you are breaking the law non the less... Japan is of the oppinion that encouraging or facilitating others to circumvent or break international law is not in the best intrest of the nations of the world. |

The American Colonization Society wants to make a public announcement regarding the Republic of Liberia. As we are reaching our final steps to ensuring a well functioning state exists on the Guinean coast, it has come to the time where we are about to cut Liberia loose to stand on their own legs. We are proud parents of our child and it is with both sadness and happiness that we ask of this. We would like the international community to all recognize the sovereignty of the Liberian State as we are about to release it and give them their own foreign diplomacy. |

Switzerland views internment not as a punishment, but as a result. Meaning, no one has broken international law, however, the units must remain in Switzerland. Perhaps we have different interpretations. We wish to prevent loss of life that is unnecessary. Interned units are effectively destroyed, yet the men are not dead. It seems like a win win. Or does Japan wish for more men to die in needless wars?

The Swiss government calls on all neutral nations to join us in an international forum on the Franco-Prussian issue. Together we can form an opinion of the United Nations as to what should happen. Only thus way can we assure peace. Nations participating: SwitzerlandIf you don't join Credit Suisse will come for you. :ph43r: |

![]() Australia has taken an interest in mediating the current war between the United States and Mexico. Currently the standoff is over the states of California, Utah-Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. The United States believes these are core holdings, as does Mexico. After extensive talks with both nations, Australia feels a compromise is out of reach. We hope in the next 24 hours cooler heads prevail but our advice is to brace for more war between these New World powers. |

[align=center] France believes that any further intervention in American wars would be a step in wrong direction as it would only raise the militancy of American nations. We are happy to hear that Australia as one of the youngest nations wants to mediate a peace between USA and Mexico but it seems that the only way to get a long term peace is that USA and Mexico agree to one on their own without foreign interventions. Therefor we ask all the major European powers to sign a one way non-aggression pact with USA and Mexico which would guarantee that none of us will intervene on either side. We feel that doing opposite would only prolong the war, without reaching a stability in the region once it's over. [align=left]:BIFRA:[/align][align=right]:BIFRA:[/align][align=center] |

Excerpt from the book: The Story of South Africa and Australia South Africa and Australia known as the 'Sister states of the British Empire' have a long running history together. In fact the story of the 'Sister states' started well before they were granted Independence in 1836. Both of the sister states were originally colonized by the Dutch stretching as far back as the 1600's. This colonization left a permanent effect on the people who were there and those that would come. ... ... The similarities did not end their though, as both South Africa, and Australia would later be seized by the British and made into colonies. Once colonies waves of British immigrants brought them a significant population that resulted in the British government's plan to set up Independence for the two colonies and after a swift creation of a government and organisation of the colonies they were made independent nation's... - Publication from the South African government. ((Note this is an excerpt so its not a full article, I don't feel like writing a whole one for this too much work.)) |

![]() It has come to the attention of Australia that the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Belgium faces an incredible threat by an alliance of the Kingdom of France and Russian Empire. The new Dutch King has attempted to set into motion a plan of reorganizing their Pacific colonies and forging lasting alliances with the Empire of Japan, the United Kingdom, and Australia. French and Russian diplomats have caught wind of these negotiations and after alerting their masters have begun plans to remove the Dutch King from power or even destroy the Kingdom itself. Australia calls on the rest of Europe to stand with the Netherlands and guarantee their right to not only their right to self determination, but their right to exist as a nation. We especially call on the soon to be North German Federation to stand with the Netherlands. Australia has long had close ties with Prussia, and with our own plan to preserve a German colony near our homeland we have no doubt that Prussia will stand with the Netherlands. |

((Stop that hogwash now that you voided the other treaty)) If France and Russia planned on removing the Netherlands from the map because they abandoned their colonies, that is France and Russia imposing their will on Dutch foreign policy. It is absolutely an IC issue at this point. - Claudius |

As regent to the throne of Spain I declare that the right for self-determination of a nation is a fluid concept. The French and Russian governments are right to be concerned by these events in Asia. The Australian government, driven by promises from British 'gentleman', have worked with Japanese conspirators to plot world domination. With so many people rushing to Australian shores, deluded by lies of a better life and 'equal' opportunities, don't find it shocking when the front lines of the coming war are manned by men of our own stock. The King of Netherlands is playing right into the hands of the South Seas devils, and his foolishness puts the entire world at risk. Therefore, it is only logical that his right to rule is put into question. After all, wasn't it the international community that allowed The Netherlands to exist in the first place? We must stand against Australian aggression or it may be Paris, Barcelona, and Moscow they're asking for next.

It is every right of the Tsar to take care of Russian interests, and keep them close to heart. With so many Russians leaving for Australia then we take great care in what happens to those men, if the Australians wish us to leave them alone, they are welcome to send any immigrant with Russian decent back to Russia and then that can be arranged. However as that is not the case, we must act as we do to ensure their safety, on top of this it is clear that the treaty which provoked this response would change the entire diplomatic landscape in Asia which is not in the Russian interests, it is also clear that the Dutch sold off their lands for little to nothing other than a promise. As such we found the Dutch unable to govern themselves and that their King clearly had gone insane to accept such a proposal, not to mention the horrible precedence which it would set in the world of diplomacy, simply to give away lands for nothing is not only mismanagement but also makes it clear that a ruler is unfit to hold such a position. Furthermore the Russian Tsar cannot trust that one person such as the Dutch King had the deal gone through, could have been entrusted with lands in Europe which is far closer to Russia, and as such could put Russian European affairs into danger by such reckless actions and decisions as was clearly done by the Dutch. - Tsar Alexander II |

[align=center] DESTRUCTION OF THE NETHERLANDS 1856 [/align] <span style='font-size:10pt;line-height:100%'>The Prussian Diplomatic Corps is alarmed to learn from the reputable Australian Foreign Ministry that France and Russia have threatened to erase the Kingdom of the Netherlands from the map. Discussions between Prussians officials and our counterparts in both Paris and St.Petersburg relating to the transfers of Dutch colonies brought to the fore the persistent objection of both France and Russia to the arrangements in the East Indies. Nevertheless, two important matters:
Addendum: The Prussian Foreign Ministry has been given to understand that the Kingdom of the Netherlands has revised her agreement with the Japanese and Australians in response to the anxiety caused by previous arrangements. We wish to inquire whether these revisions have met with the satisfaction and approval of parties taking an interest in such matters. [/font]</span> |
