~~Pre-1900 (Turn 0)~~

With the coming of the end of the winter of the year 1899, many powers are preparing themselves to begin the race for dominance and powers.

For example, diplomatic pacts and treaties should be reviewed and formed, not to mention that forces should be deployed in strategic positions just in case.

Byzantine Empire: 9+3fleets, already deployed
Swiss Confederation: 4
Caliphate of Cordoba: 4
Eastern Commonwealth: 7
Kingdom of Sicily: none
Free Representatives of France: 4
Unified Isles of North Atlantic: 1+fleet
Socialist-Nationalist Arab Republic of Egypt: 5
Kongeriget Nordmark: 3

Excerpt from King Hardeknud's traditional Yuletide speech outside Rigsdag Hall:
"This land is a rich land. With the timber from our forests, the ores in our mountains, the bounty of our fields and the ingenuity of our people, we will make Nordmark a country of beautiful manors and vast cities. But we need help from abroad. Our friends in other countries have many things to teach us. They have rich goods to barter with us for mutual gain. As the new century approaches, we should prepare ourselves for a great work, and be ready to receive visitors from far-away places.

May God and the Gods bless Nordmark. Have a Merry Yule, everyone!"

Nordmark offers a cooperation agreement (Trade Pact, Research Treaty and Alliance) to the Unified Isles.

Nordmark offers a Research Treaty to the Eastern Commonwealth. (Offer withdrawn.)

This grave insult will not go unpunished.

Prepare for war!

Public address from Glorious Leader Phillip Von Eberlain

Proud people of the glorious Swiss Confederacy, at last our great turmoil is at an end. I know that the road here was long, and fraught with struggle and sacrifice, but despite all the adversity, all the treachery and all the suffering, we finally stand united and strong, as the Swiss where always meant to be! Throughout our history we have faced down many foes, and neither King nor Emperor nor Doge where ever able to bring us low, instead it was we ourselves, the threat within, which proved our greatest adversary. But now that adversary has been bested, and together we stand ready to at last take our rightful place in Europa. Glory to the Swiss! Glory to Switzerland!

The Kingdom of Sicily is pleased to accept the trade and research offers from the Socialist-Nationalist Arab Republic of Egypt.  Let the traders of Messina and Alexandria, the scientists of Naples and Cairo be enriched by our mutual cooperation.

The Free Representatives of France offer Trade Pacts and Research Treaties to the United Isles, the Caliphate of Cordoba, and the Eastern Commonwealth.

[Rolepgeek]

Cordoba is sadly unable to accept all of the offers presented to it at present, but His Excellency the Caliph is pleased to accept those offers most suited to the peoples of Cordoba.

The Caliphate of Cordoba formally Accepts the Trade Pact offered by the Free Representatives of France, as well as the Research Treaty offered us by the Swiss Confederation.
Furthermore, we would gladly accept the Non-Aggression Pacts offered by the Kingdom of Sicily, as well as their offer of cooperation between our scientists. Let this Research Treaty find the brightest minds of both our nations, and further improve their ability to find truth, and so grow closer to God!
We mourn that God's will prevents us from accepting more of these generous offers with conscience, but we must Decline the offers of alliance and treaty generously made by the Socialist-Nationalist Arab Republic of Egypt, as we do not desire to become involved in the war they have unfortunately found themselves in.

Additionally, The Caliphate would like to offer a Trade Pact to Her Highness Theodora III Komnenos,, ruler of the Byzantine Empire, and her subjects. Both our people hold a love of God in their hearts, though we walk different paths to Him. Those who lack any understanding of His greatness surround us; would it not benefit our peoples to have such exchange, so that we might both grow closer to God?

We apologize for offending the great Basileía Rhōmaíōn. The responsible clerk has been executed.

In addition, we propose a non-aggression and partial border demilitarization treaty to the Caliphate.

It is agreed, then. Here's to peace and prosperity in the North!

Staffing the military with a national-defense force, the United Isles announces a declaration of unification on [Tile #5 and #1] for future progress, along with their celebrations of the New Year.

The government of Nordmark understands the desire to unify Britain, and to assist the impoverished Icelandic population. We advise the people of London and Iceland to consider the benefits of joining the United Isles, and the United Isles themselves to exercise the greatest possible restraint while they integrate these territories.

[Rolepgeek]

Ah yes, also:

Two armies in 72

One army in 78
One army left in 76

Since no reply has arrived from the Eastern Commonwealth, Nordmark will withdraw its offer of a Research Treaty for the time being.
