"One of the nice things about looking at a bear is that you know it spends 100 per cent of every minute of every day being a bear. It doesn't strive to become a better bear. It doesn't go to sleep thinking, "I wasn't really a very good bear today". They are just 100 per cent bear, whereas human beings feel we're not 100 per cent human, that we're always letting ourselves down. We're constantly striving towards something, to some fulfilment"

My desicions are finilly in. Sorry for the delay.
When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples

Proclamation of independancy of Republic of 16 provinces of Netherlands
In the 28th day of February in year of our lord 1613. By the Grace of our Lord we announce that the Republic of Netherlands have ended succesfully negotiations with the Monarchy of Spain. We declare that from this day onward the former Spanish Netherlands consisting the provinces of Zutphen, Drenthe, Limburg, Brabant, Hainaut, Namur, Mechelen, Flanders and Artois, are now independent states of Republic of Netherlands with full rights and representatives in the Republic. The taxes of the new states are also reduced on the level of the original states. Also the Republic will rename her official name from The Republic of the seven united provinces of The Netherlands to The Republic of the sixteen united provinces of The Netherlands. There will be complete freedom of Religion and no man will be persecuted becouse of his Religion. Also any man who doesnt want to join the Republic is free to leave without dangering himself or his family. Thank the Lord allmighty for the happines that have faced the people of the Netherlands and three Hurrah for the Unity of the Netherlands!
Maurice of Nassau, captain- General and the stadtholder of The Republic of the sixteen united provinces of The Netherlands.

Message from the Court of King James
His majesty welcomes the news of the creation of the new extended Republic of the Netherlands and wishes the new country peace and prosperity.
He officially recognises the new borders of the Republic and will establish full diplomatic relations with them.
He applauds the Netherlands and Spain for coming to a peaceful resolution of their long running despute. By such an honourable arrangement they have brought peace to this area - a peace which England wishes to see maintained.
Any new country has many external pressures on it. England hereby states that it will view seriously any attempt to usurp the will of the Dutch people. We will view any pressure applied to the new nation as a direct military threat to our Sovereignty and will react accordingly.
God bless the new Republic of the Netherlands
God bless the King.
Signed this day
King James the First of England and Sixth of Scotland.

The French Government vetoes the annexation of Belgium. It requests, that the Dutch respect the neutrality of Belgium.
Re: 17th century
The Republic of Netherlands will give an announcement about the situation once the new Parliament have gathered. We dont understand what the King of France is talking about with the Neutrality of Belgium. We would be happy if the internal affairs of the Republic would be left to the presentetatives of states to handle.Originally Posted by Franconicus
