This isn't barbarism, this is just Arabians hating europeans and responding to the loss of lots of oil
(I would also like to ask where you lot are getting your oil from?)
We simply don't use much (if any) oil. For what little oil I use, I'm pretty sure it'll come from Oil fields located in The Channel/North sea. My society is mostly based on Coal (I control the resource deposits in Belgium and Germany) and maybe Gas( There's a gigantic gas field under Holland). Since these places have been the frontlines for quite a long time, I doubt any of it got used. The mines would have been targetted constantly and such.
The slavery can and should be considered barbaric. There were protests in the main country(especially after the word about the atrocities got around), and the slavery was evently abolished. Returning to it might be considered even more Barbaric than using it in the first place, and this will probably be how most players nations are going to view it. (Never mind which practices they had running in their own colonies). The colonisation of Congo (till 1960) is a great example of the Hypocrisy of that time.
Also: A Message to all other Nations.
From the European Confederation:
Greetings,
The world we find ourselves in now lies in ruins. As such, we want to prevent such a disastrous event from ever happening again. Therefore, the Confederation would like to found an instution meant to ensure peace between nations. This Union would ensure cooperation between different parties, and as such prevent a war like the last one from happening again. A few basic rules would be enforced: No military conflicts between Union members, Union members must honour the International Declaration of the rights of the Human being and... (The message continues about details and other stuff that has yet to be decided)
A message to The Communist Republic of Italy
From the European Confederation:
Greetings,
While we do not follow your ideologies, we respect your views and as such we would like to discuss the recent border problems with you. In order to prevent this to end up in a military conflict, we would like to set up a zone of Deadmansland 10 km wide between both our countries. This zone would be demilitarized. The European confederation is also open to trade relations and would like to establish a NAP.
A message to the Royal Family, Rulers of England
From the European Confederation:
As you where one of the nations that once supported our nations neutrality, we would like to reestablish diplomatic relations. Due to the nature of the current situation we know we can't ask you to follow the treaty. However, there are several things that require attention. First comes the distribution of the Oil fields located in the Northern Sea. Second the possibility of once again opening trade routes between your nation and ours.
