I am taking a few days off of work to go to Gettysburg. When I am back there will be hell to pay.
I received reports the Turks are losing control of the military they have and the Poles are going to up rise. Beware eastern Europe!

Re: Concert of Europe
His Imperial Majesty, Czar Nikolai urges the Balkans to rise up, by the Grace of God, Russia will remove the Turks from Europe. Let all true Christians join this most righteous war!

OoC: can we have any information regarding state funds, debt etc? Or do we all start with zero? Also what about fleets?

"One thing that should be noted by any potential Balkland state is that leaving the Ottoman Empire will leave them friendless and alone. It is the opinion of the editor that the only decision such a nation could make is which overlord they prefer: Russian or Austrian."

"His Imperial Highness Ferdinand l of Austria today signed a Railway Law permitting and encouraging such organisations and constructions and devices in all his domains. By Imperial Edict a company is now listed on the Wiener Börse for the purpose of the construction of Railways: 'Emperor Ferdinand Eastern Railway'. His Imperial Highness owns 20% of the company and has appointed himself temporary Chairman. He wishes it to be known that the Empire is embarking on a full Railway network to unite all it's peoples.
The first planned route is Vienna to Buda and Pest which will be fully engine run. 'Emperor Ferdinand Eastern Railway' Deputy Company Chairman Salomon Mayer von Rothschild invites any and all contractors to apply. Further plans are understood to involve a line north to Prague and south to Venice."

Re: Concert of Europe
His Imperial Majesty, Czar Nikolai, wishes to inform Basileus Othon, that He holds at heart a free greek nation. So Russia looks forward any future co-operation to fight the Turks and unite the Greeks!

Re: Concert of Europe
So is this a threat of war by Russia?

Re: Concert of Europe
Sultan Abdul Mejid, relinquish your european possessions, acknowledge the Concert's authority in european affairs and friendly relations can ensure, otherwise You will leave Us no choice.

Re: Concert of Europe
If I say no, does this mean war?
Re: Concert of Europe
It will be war indeed, if His Majesty does not comply.

Re: Concert of Europe
Etoile De France
His Royal Highness, Louis-Philippe Ier, King of the French, appoints Baptiste Alexis Victor Legrand as Royal Minister for Transportation.
The main task for the new minister is to execute a new Royal Decree, which is called Etoile de France.
Based on already existing or planned programs the French railways will be integrated into a new net.
These lines will soon be available:
From Paris
to Belgium via Lille and Vaenciennes
to England via two ports at the Channel
to Germany via Nancy and Strassbourg
to the Med via Lyon and Marseille
to the Atlantic via Bourges
to the Centre via Bourges
From the Med to the Rhine via Lyon, Dijon and Mulhausen
From the Atlantic to the Med via Bordeaux, Toulouse and Marseille.
These railroad will be build and run by private companies. The state will support the enterprises with 20% of the costs and will hold 20% of the shares in return.
Financiers and engineers from abroad are welcome.
Re: Concert of Europe
Social reforms
His Royal Highness, Louis Phillipe, passes an act to improve the living conditions of all French subjects, esp. of the workers.
Children under the age of 10 years may no longer work in industry.
All children between 5 and 10 years have to visit the Ecole Normale, where they will be taught in reading and writing, calculations, national history and religion. Lessons are free and will be held by former verterans of the French army. The best pupils may go to the Ecole Superior afterwards, where they will learn foreign languages, economy and natural sciences up to the age of 15. Those who pass the final tests there with excellency may go to the Royal Univercity of Sorbonne. All lessons are free.
Responsible for this is the Royal Minister for Educaton Villemain.
All industrial workers as well as their employers will have to pay in equal share in to the labor insurance. This will pay in case of accident, disease or old age.
Administration
All officers in the administration, army or navy will be selected only according their skills, which will be tested during school time. All positions are open for every male person. Only exception is the Royal Guard, which is only for members of the aristocracy.

Political Reforms:
France guarantees freedom of opinion for all citizens.
Death sentence for political crimes will be abolished. In the future, political chriminals will be send to the colonies.
Re: Concert of Europe
Good job with the orders guys! I just need England and Austria and Prussia!
Re: Concert of Europe
1) Is there a deadline?
2) What is up with that disease from the last game? Still raging?
3) And well, I going to send my foreign minister to the conference regarding Schleswig-Holstein. Where is it and how does the master of ceremony wants to handle it?
4) By the way, I am going to have a tech fair next year at the centre of the world (well Paris, of course). Everyone is invited to show the skills of hsi country and to admire the intellectual superiority of France.
Re: Concert of Europe
The Foreign Minitery of the Kingdom France is pleased to announce a military alliance with Prussia and Russia. This HOLY ALLIANCE will guarantee peace, order and welfare all over Europe.
God save the King!
Re: Concert of Europe
Austria will send Metternich to the Congress for the Schleswig-Holstein question.
Re: Concert of Europe
Sorry about that, but I contracted a severely bad case of flu 5 or so days ago and I am ill as sin. I am not going to be able to put together orders for afew days. Maybe you could do a bit of player recruitment in the mean time?

Re: Concert of Europe
While your intentions may be noble, in theory, Great Britain takes issue with the fact that from what information has been given any war declared on the Ottoman Empire by Russia would be unprovoked due to the fact that there already is a free greek nation. It's called Greece.
As such Great Britain would request that the planned Austrian conference over Schleswig Holestein also hold a conference session over the balkland situation.

Re: Concert of Europe
When heathens still keep christians under their rule, Greece won't be free. Russia wants to help her orthodox brothers and have Basileus Othon take possession of that land, in order to keep them safe and bringing the Greeks back into the Concert's sphere of influence.
We fail to see what needs to be discussed here and find these philo-saracen tendencies in England, quite disturbing.

Re: Concert of Europe
Cease your reflection, it does not suit you. In the last war you had the chance to end the ottoman occupation of the balklans and you ran away at the first case of siege fever so your conviction to your redundant cause of greek independance is suspect at best. We have no guarentee that you would not simply annex the area and to trust that Russia would respect the soveriegnty of an entire reigion of europe after a war that is certainly going to be costly without so much as a debate would be irresponsable to the extreme.

Re: Concert of Europe
Tactical course of actions in russian military operations shouldn't be any of your concerns. We made clear what Our intentions are and a sketch for any partition of the land, so far has been approved by France, Austria and Prussia, although there is no draft of it at the present moment. And frankly we don't think it's necessary so long as the Turks hold it.
We will fully support the Concert's decision on the matter, We also expect to see the parties involved, supplying military aid, properly rewarded and We are sorry to hear such low esteem for the Rossiyskaya Imperiya, by the english monarchy.

We will oversee the area for the time being and later decide on how to proceed in political matters. We resent Your rhetoric, since England has engulfed the globe in wars of conquest and still does. There are Christians under moslem rule, right at Our doorstep, on top of that slavic brethren, this will not be conquest, but liberation.

Re: Concert of Europe
If war is necessary, so be it! We will defend ourselves to the end. We call on Austria, England, Italy and any other nation in Europe to step in and put a end to the power hungry state of Russia if they know what's good for their own nation!
