Re: 17th century
Why is French government spreading this kind of false rumours? We dont understand the intentions behind them. About French investing on Dutch trading companies,we dont understand this message at all. Dutch trading companies sell their shares only to citizens of Netherlands. Our transactions with France are importing of mainly far Eastern products to France. We simply dont understand what is this announcement about and where are you getting this false information? Also what is this talk about asking loans? We havent asked loan from anyone.

Re: 17th century
HMCIM Philippe I of All the Spains graciously accepts his brother's offer and will send five of the most influential spanish diplomats. They will have full power to choose and build and International House and a permanent Embassy.
HMCIM hereby creates the rank of Permanent Lord Embassador in the Holy Roman Empire. The holder will be elected during the next session of the Council of Realms and will hold the title for as long as the Council deems necessary.
HMCIM also wishes to follow the steps of his brother, King Louis of France, and standardise the spanish currency to be used in Spain, her colonies, vassal states, and other holdings. Viceroys and governors should inforce the legal issue of these coins with all force necessary. Illegal minting will be punished with 5 years of galleys and exile to African penal colonies.
The Doublon Imperial will weight half an ounce and will be made of gold, with the image of HMCIM on one side, and the Cross of Santiago on the other.
The Silver Doublon will have the same weight and be made of silver, with the same crests.
The Imperial Doublon will have the value of 1000 maravedis, while the silver Doublon will account for 100 maravedis.
A maravedi will weight 1/3 of an ounce and be made of copper with the same crests as above.
Hereby the Imperial Mint is created that will be in charge of creating, distributing and controlling the creation of coins. It will be administered by the Lord Minister of Economy, who will seat at the Council of Realms.
Since the lists of diseases only recently adopted by our brother have been used in Spain for a long time, the logical step is to refuse entrance into the country to those infected with any of the diseases on the list without a period of 45 days of quarantine. Local authorities will have the right to use Imperial Garrisons and National Guard forces to enforce this measure.
HMCIM Philippe I wishes to congratulate the King of Denmark on his astounding victory against apparently impossible odds. He also wishes to advice the King of Denmark to make sure his tens of thousands green recruits are prepared to receive the - oh so easily killed - spanish veterans.From Danish ambassadors:
The Danish commanders in the Holy Roman Empire announce that Danish troops in the defensive war against the Kaiser have lost only 950 men, while killing over 12,000 troops for the Kaiser and the Spanish king. The Danish king also wishes to announce that the Danish forces in the Holy Roman empire will be increased by several tens of thousands by this summer, to support the Swedish king in dealing a final, decisive blow to the exhausted and demoralized army of the Kaiser, so that he will recall his unprovoked declaration of war against our allies the Netherlands.

Re: 17th century
HMCIM Philippe I of All the Spains announces:
That in this glorious day the Doge of Venice has been finally subdued, and peace now reigns between our two nations.
That the Doge will be welcomed to the spanish court with all the honours due to a vassal prince.
That the venetian subjects of the Doge will enjoy the same privileges as the other vassal states, including serving in the Army, Navy, and the validation of their titles, riches, social positions and other assets in Spain.
That, as part of the Spanish Commonwealth, they will adopt the spanish standard currency.
May this start a new era of prosperity in the Mediterranean that will bring wealth and enlightenment to all our friends.
HMCIM also announces that the army in Iberia has been increased to 120,000 men for the better defence of our homelands.

ULTIMATUM
We demand the Doge of Venice to either give compensation to the damage he caused to French subjects immediately or to get ready to settle this issue on the battleground.
Louis, King of France, Navarre and the New France
P.S.: We are ready to give our conditions to the agent of Venice!
Re: 17th century
From Venice:
Venice is now a vassal of Spain. This ultimatum will have to be resolved with our King HMCIM Philippe I.

Re: 17th century
OOC: I am a bit confused: What's the deal with Russia? Who is Tsar? Romanov or Wladyslaw? Or is Romanov just a prominent figure in the Duma? How much power does he actually wield?
EDIT: Thanks for clearing it up Legio

Re: 17th century
Romanov is not Tsar, but a boyar. Wladyslaw is a puppet Tsar more or less controlled by the Duma. Romanov's power is restricted by two things: he's not officially Tsar, AND the boyars have money, soldiers and other methods of enforcing their will so nobody can rule Russia without support from the boyars. The easiest way to find out if you have the support of the boyars is to ask them for their opinion.
In practise, most things Romanov decides will come true, but for more drastical manouvers it's usually wise to ask the Duma for their opinion first, which he can do by PM or public statements, and depending on the type of question, I'll give the answer right away or in the following chapter. This is more or less how the real situation for Romanov was. It took a few generations before the Russian Tsar's managed to increase their power and decrease the influence of the Duma.
