![]() As stated by the Prussian diplomat, Australia hopes that the new revised Treaty of the East Indies is satisfactory to both Paris and St. Petersburg. We also state our intention to exchange the colony of Benin in Africa to the United Kingdom for the sheep inhabited islands of New Zealand. If this will lead to an international coalition landing on our shores, please tell us now before this dreadful mistake is finalized in writing. |

Let it be known that the Ottoman Empire will not join an offensive war against the Netherlands despite reservations about their diplomatic choices. Though we are shocked at the vastness of the Dutch concession, we do not regard this possible conflict as relevant to the welfare of the empire, and suggest everyone consider just why they would send their young men to die for the cause of who should rule over a land full of uncivilized peoples. - Abdülmecid I

[align=center] [/align]While the Tsar understand the concern of the Prussian King, it is unfortunate that the Prussian diplomat in St. Petersburg was indisposed at the time and as such could not attend to the Tsar’s wishes as the crisis was unfolding. That is however not the fault of either party, but as such does not mean that world diplomacy which will shape the future can be put on hold until a more convenient time, at which point all are ready to discuss, as it was happening in the spur of the moment. The Tsar will also make it clear that he has no ill wishes towards the Kingdom of the Netherlands, but that does not alter the fact that he must take Russian interest into consideration before any other. And as such as Russia was not approached by any diplomats as in regards to the transfer of these provinces in Asia, we found it highly disturbing and unbalancing to the region as well as overall stability and balance of power in the world which we live in. Others might claim that it is none of Russia’s business what is going on in South Asia, but to that we simply must say that we do not agree, it is a region which has a lot of wealth, not to mention that our allies hold large regions. As such we find it disturbing if a nation was forced to hand other large regions, simply because they felt threatened, and we find it even more disturbing if they simply agreed to hand it over for a simple promise and nothing more. Russia has also admitted that the foreign policy of the Netherlands has changed, and as such the Tsar no longer wish to see it altered in the local region, that does however not mean that we will not wish to see it altered again should a similar situation arise where the Dutch attempt to sell off vast colonial regions and resources without seemingly to care for the rest of the world’s opinions on the matter. We would also like to state that we are content with the new treaty which has been drafted. -Tsar Alexander II |

![]() Australia is pleased that our recent diplomatic exchanges with the Netherlands has been approved by St. Petersburg. We believe that finalized borders in Indonesia between Dutch Colonies Australia will be set in the coming week. Once Lesser Sundas and Timur are exchanged, Australia will begin its commitment to protect all Dutch holdings in southeast Asia. |

[align=center] [/align]I, Alexander the Second, Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias find it utterly devastating and saddening to see the carnage which is unfolding in Western Europe. The war has now lasted for the better parts of three years and is not much closer to reaching a solution, for while Spain and Sardinia-Piedmont has left the war it doesn’t signal the end. The French government seem content to fight this war to the end despite the burning of Aquitaine region which surely harms all of the nation. As such we would like both the Prussian, British and French diplomats to begin negotiations to secure a peace being made and to end the bloodshed. |

The Kingdom of Spain asks for international assistance in negating British influence in the Iberian peninsula. Queen Victoria has shown herself as a truly vindictive individual, who is unfit to rule a civilized people, the recent actions of the British Empire has shown nothing but a rogue state bent on securing chaos. My fellow sovereign leaders, if you wish your people to survive and prosper, we must stand united to limit the reach of the British and all those poor devils that choose to follow their glided words. What say the world? Freedom and prosperity, or enslavement and poverty?

Very well, if no other nations are willing to speak up, we shall at least make our position clear in regards to the British economical warfare: Forcibly including another nation into one's internal market is a very grave and insulting action. Spain is an old and respected European power and their natural right to self determination should not be disrespected in this way. Only upon their own request should they ever have their internal market fused with another in this way. We will seek ways to lessen the burden upon Spain and hope that the UK will take responsibility for the damage they are doing to the Spanish economy. - Sultan Murad V

![]() As a member of the British sphere, Australia has seen an economic boom unrivaled in history over the past 50 years. The resources available to nations within this sphere are nearly limitless. We fail to see how any nation would reject being a member of it. On the other hand, Australia recognizes Spain's right to self determination as we had in the past with the Netherlands. We feel this is an issue to be resolved between Spain and the United Kingdom. |

[align=center] THE SPANISH QUESTION (¿) 1874 [/align] The German Foreign Ministry is unfamiliar with the situation and circumstances but is keenly interested to understand the statement made by the Spanish representative, which suggests that the British Government is vindictive. This leads to the impression that the addition of Spain to the British sphere of influence was undertaken as a matter of vengeance in response to previous action taken by Spain. We wish to inquire what actions on the part of Spain may have given cause for the British to undertake a response, ostensibly in spite. |

![]() Sicilian Invasion of New Zealand It seems while the government of Australia enjoyed themselves late into the evening to celebrate New Years Day of 1874, a Sicilian Expeditionary Force has landed and began seizing New Zealand. How could this happen? Australia will force this invader out and destroy what is left of their navy. Any foreign invader that attempts to land on sacred Australian soil will face the wrath of a thousand Emus and rue the day they were born. Let this be a warning to all nations. |

The reputation of the Southern Italians being lazy seems to have been highly exaggerated! Nevertheless, the Ottoman Empire wishes the government of Australia all the luck in scourging the globetrotting Italians from their land. To other matters: The Sultan has requested a new series of maps following the rapid colonization of the inner reaches of the dark continent. It all seemed very well, until his eyes fell on the western parts. Surely, the imperial cartographers must be mistaken and such a massive mess could not have been the result of efforts by civilized nations! As such, Sultan Murat V requests that the colonizing nations provide him with accurate maps of the area below with the real borders. ![]()

[align=center] [/align]The Tsar agrees with the Ottoman diplomats and we wonder how such a thing came to be, different nations owning land left and right with no proper structure. Surely such a thing will only spell disaster, chaos and confusion and as such it should be altered to make sure that any borders that are within Africa should be done correctly and as such those borders should be corrected. |

![]() It has come to the attention of the Australian government of the massive ramifications of the Treaty of Lvov. The Austrian Emperor seems to have gone mad and is simply ceding massive territories to the Russian Empire. We feel that this situation mirrors the similar situation that the Netherlands faced just 15 years ago. Australia calls on Russia and France to begin preparations for the Invasion of Austria-Hungary as they had threatened to dismantle the Netherlands unless this treaty is overturned. As stated by both Paris and St. Petersburg, a monarch making decisions such as this that can throw off the balance of power of Europe must be removed for the sake of the greater good of nations. |

Spain wonders if the governor of the British colony of Australia has perhaps had a little too much to drink and simply finds himself confused by developments in the civilized world. It is a widely known fact that hypocrisy and greed is a trait of the Anglosphere alone. All the Anglo nations are bred of barbarians and brigands, what else could be expected? Australia should tend to its collection of rocky specks of 'land' and leave true Christian governance to the just men of Europe. Lest Anglo vice and sin should spread to the pure nations of Europe.

We are pleased to have fought alongside Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Liberia to aid Germany in their defense against the Russian and Austrian invasion. We also are pleased a peaceful resolution was achieved after Australian and French claims overlapped in Indochina. |

The South Africa government would like to announce its support for Brazils aims as it is an admirable and just goal that they so seek, and it would be a travesty if they were stopped in their righteous goal too unite the people of South and Eastern South America to a single unified nation. The Brazilian governments goal is, much like the goal of South Africa, to unify people into one nation to provide better prosperity and wealth to all those involved. - Governor General A. Person |

[align=center] TREATY OF ZURICH 1890 [/align] The German Foreign Ministry is surprised to learn of the outbreak of war on the Continent and is doubly surprised to learn of Germany’s direct participation in such a conflict. Setting aside this unexpected series of events, the Auswartiges Amt and the Großer Generalstab are agreed to a general armistice for the discussion of peace-terms. Our Diplomatic Corps will pursue further consultation on the subject and looks forward to a peace settlement. Furthermore, we are in agreement with the draft Treaty of Zurich. |

As Europe is shocked by yet another war, informally known in the Ottoman Empire as "the race for mustard gas, etc.", it seems inevitable that all sides are racing to find a usable, large-scale method for weaponizing the use of insidious chemical substances. We suppose that whichever side to discover an effective method of delivery first will likely emerge victorious. It would be dishonest of me to say otherwise: The Ottoman Empire is also researching such matters, for if our enemies gain such a weapon that we do not, we would stand no chance. But what has become of the respect for our adversary? Were the ideals of respected rivals crossing blades always a ruse to hide the horrors of war? In the race to become the most effective slaughterer of humanity, will it all be worth it, in the end? What kind of horrors will such devastating weapons have on the future of human conflict? I shudder to think of the future of the generations ahead of me. But I'm an old man and I can only hope that my successors - and their foreign counterparts - look to it that they don't forget that the happiness of their people is their real responsibility. - Murat V ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
