Announcement of Louis XIII., King of France and King of Navarre, Sovereign over Realms in Africa and America by the Grace of God
After the glorious victory of our armies We decided to reform Our government.
Maximilien de Bethune, duc de Sully, Marechal de France, is appointed Vice-roi of La Nouvelle France. We do this to thank him for His merits for the French King and the Christianisation of the heathens in Africa and America. Maximilien wants to apply himself in the conversion of the American natives.
The government will be led by myself, Louis XIII, King of France.
We appoint Armand Jean du Plessis, Duke de Richelieu, Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church to the commander of all armed forces, including the army, the navy and the national guard.

Announcement of Louis XIII., King of France and Navarre by the Grace of God
We hear the accusation of the Pope and We see that they are totally unfounded. We all know the merits of the Duc de Sully for the peace amoung the Christian nations and the Catholic church.
We are irritated that the Pope did not even ask the Duke about the accusation. Therefore the judgement is not valid. We do not live in the Dark Middle Ages, you know?
We are also irritated that the list includes items, that are definetly not under the jurisdication of the Church, like the accusation of plotting for murderer.
If the Pope decided to make a fool of himself, the King of France does not care. However, there is another issue where the Pope crossed the border between right and wrong.
The Pope prompted the soldiers of the Royal Army to forget their duty for the King, who has his authority by the Grace of God. Do We have to remind the Pope, that God shared the power in the Christian Realm. The Pope may be the leader in the spiritual things, but he is not allowed to interfere in affairs that belong to the civil order.
We will not make the same mistake as the Pope. We give him the chance to speak out to My accusation, to admit and regret and to repent. We ask him to call back his bull and to compensate the damage.
What do you mean I agreed to?Quote:

Official statement of the Papacy:
There shall be a coronation of the new Kaiser in Rome in December. All true sons of the Church are invited to attend the ceremonial, including King Louis XIII, King of France by heritage of Henry IV, and Phillippe IV, King of Spain by God's grace, and Sigismund III Vasa, King of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth by God's grace.
As for Sully, it is regrettable that such a man, so eager to wage war, has been using his capacities to fight fellow Catholics. We would like to congratulate the French King Louis XIII for making the wise decision of sending him off to the colonies, where he will be unable to find anything but Heathens to fight. We are happy to see that the French king has forced him to do penance, where he will have a chance to compensate for his sins, and be forgiven.
It is agreed then, no enemy will be able to resist our combined might!Quote:
I loan my support, militarily and financially, to the Ottomans. Wait for me, my brother, The Cossacks and Janissaries shall fight side by side! We shall crush the Germans at Vienna, and pull for clemencey for Duc de Sully. He is a righteous and generous man. Courageous too. The Tsar and Sultan ride under one banner--that of the Kaiser's defeat!
Well, to be honest, I always played more or less the two persons. You will find a lot of posts signed by the King Himself. I thought that this was no problem as the King was under direct control of Sully.Quote:

Vive le Roi!
I say bring back Sully - he was so good in Monsters Inc:laugh4:
Edit: double post
@Franc: Ok! :2thumbsup: Let us all then greet the new king: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_XIII_of_France

@Warluster & Bopa: have Brandenburg and HRE negotiated peace, and what were the terms of the peace?

OOC:How many have not answered yet?Lets keep this ball rolling.:smash:
England, France, Venice
I will post my reply as soon as I get the information from the HRE. I have to know if we are still at war or not.:book:
O hope you understand.
I'd like to invite the Stadtholder of the Netherlands to the victory parade at Paris (just in case the war is over) :2thumbsup:

Holy Roman Emperor elect, Ferdinand von Hapsburg.
We wish peace with the French, however their demands that we rename our nation the German empire, is utterly unnaceptable, as are the reperations we are being forced to pay and the releasing of areas of the Empire to direct French control.
no you haven't, but most of the questions are no longer valid so you don't need to. But you may send in any other actions you want to carry out.
From the Papacy:
The peace terms presented by Sully are invalid. The Papacy offers to mediate between the French King Louis XIII and the Holy Roman Emperor-Elect, suggesting the rest of Lorraine and everything to the west of Speyer to be handed over to France.
Ferdinand Von Hasburg.
Again, we refuse to pay such a large sum, we refuse ti rename the Holy Roman Empire, the German Empire, and we refuse to give up control of Northern Italy. We also refuse to give direct control of the former Hapsburg lands to the French, they are part of the Holy Roman Empire.
Well, my conditions are noble and just:
- Guarantee of the traditional rights to the Prince Electors and the German Lords
- Reconstitution of the Augsburg agreement.
- Official release of the provinces in Northern Italy, Savoy, Luxemburg and Franche Comte. Luxemburg and FC will then join France.
- Renaming of the HRE into German Empire and your title into German Emperor; Disclaimer of the Claim of leadership
- Payment of the cost of war
We do not demand any land from the HRE, except the one we already received from Philippe. We do not need Lorraine and everything to the west of Speyer, as the King of France has enough land. We do not want to cripple the Holy Roman Empire.
However, we need some guarantees and - of course - compensation for our expenses.
If Ferdinand does not accept, right, let's start again. He will have to put the blame for the blood on his shoulders.
Announcement fro the Council of the Realms of Spain, assembled in Madrid
From this moment onwards, His Most Catholic Majesty Philippe III,
King of Spain, King of Portugal, King of Castile, of León, of Aragón, of the Two Sicilies, of Jerusalem, of Navarre, of Granada, of Toledo, of Valencia, of Galicia, of Sardinia, of Córdoba, of Corsica, of Murcia, of Jaén, of the Algarves, of Algeciras, of Gibraltar, of the Canary Islands, of the East and West Indies, of the Islands and Mainland of the Ocean Sea, Archduke of Austria, of Milan, of Athens and Neopatras; Count of Habsburg, of Tyrol, of Roussillon, and of Barcelona; Lord of Vizcaya and of Molina, is reestablished by the Council of His Lords and in accordance with His legal claim as the holder of the Imperial city of Leon, the title of Imperator totius Hipaniae, and shall hereby be addressed as His Most Catholic Imperial Majesty, or Emperor of All the Spains.
______________________________________________________
It has also come to the attention of the Spanish court that France and the HRE are negotiating about Northern Italy, territories under spanish control. As Duke of Milan, His Most Catholic Imperial Majesty wishes that this item be dropped from the negotiation table, or clearly specifies that the territories being discussed are not those to which His Most Catholic Imperial Majesty holds a claim to.
[/COLOR]His Most Catholic Imperial Majesty also wishes to confirm his presence at the coronation in Vienna, but only after the peace has been signed between the Emperor and France. It is His opinion that it is uncomfortable to travel accross Europe with armies marching along the main roads.
His Most Catholic Imperial Majesty also wishes to remind the Cossacks, that although of a different faith than they are, the Emperor of All the Spains is a Christian as is the King of Poland and the HR Emperor, while they seem to have allied themselves with a muslim against fellow Christian brothers, forgetting that eternal damnation in hell will await those who aid the Infidel.
His Most Catholic Imperial Majesty will pray that God makes the reign of the King of France Louis XIII prosperous, and invites him to expect a messenger that has just been dispatched with private letters for the french court.
Official statement of the Papacy:
The Holy Father announces that part of the Papal Guard will be sent to take part in the battle of Vienna.
Imagine there is a battle and the Turks do not come!:laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:Quote:

I hope the German Kaiser knows the value of the support of his Spanish cousin.
OOC: Just what exactly does that mean? :help: Is that in reference to the name change?Quote:
Disclaimer of the Claim of leadership
Actually, I also just notice that I've been sending out PMs as Philippe IV, when the king of Spain is actually Philippe III. Sorry about that :oops:. It meant to say Philippe III, I can hardly sign as my baby son...
IC:
As of the other points of the treaty, they seem reasonable and I urge my brother Ferdinand to accept. Continuing this war will only bring more ruin and destruction to everyone involved.
Hehe, I too have made the mistake of writing IV instead of III in a few places in the last chapter... :laugh4: I had a feeling something was wrong but couldn't locate it...
Those who haven't posted their decisions yet - are you waiting for diplomacy? If it seems like you can't reach a peace agreement that both sides can accept, you could either:
- continue negotiating, if it seems you will eventually agree to something
- sign a temporary ceasefire for one turn
- or continue the war, since the threat is that unless the ceasefire is signed the war will continue you should be prepared for this if no treaty is signed
The Government of Germany.

OOC:Warluster, what happened to your keyboard?
King Sigismund would like to inform Brandenburg that Ducal Prussia is still the loyal and faithful vassal of the Commonwealth, and the nobles therein enjoy the full rights of the Sejm.
