I would like to ask that our ally Denmark kindly refrain from sending warships to my coast. The Scottish fleet is more than capable of handling pirates in our own waters.

[Tran]

We'd like to know why Scotland justified French agents located outside their Kingdom but object to the present of our ships which are clearly not located within anyone's territory?

Before you accuse us of spreading lie, this words are taken from your previous statement:

This "proof" I see seems rather weak to me. One is a suspect report of a French spy. Even if that one is true it has no bearing on whether sabotage was committed by the French, as only assassins are trained to do that kind of damage. All it shows is that France is as interested as all of us in what goes on beyond their borders.

[Zim]

Because the main purpose of spies to collect information. I do not use them outside of my borders myself, but I suspect many of the nations here do. If captured they can be executed or imprisoned as spies and noone is likely to raise a complaint.

Warships sailing up to my very coast are a military threat, yet if I were to remove them you would consider it an act of war.

[Ferret]

I agree if a Nation does not want Spies they should stop them, assassins are allowed within ones lands. The French may have noticed a Russian spy has been viewing their Empire since 1080.

Greetings, we are proud to announce the signing of Charter of the Alliance between Kingdom of Denmark, Holy Roman Empire, Kingdom of Poland, and Kingdom of Sicily.

Charter of the Alliance

1. Purpose of the Alliance:

The Alliance has its origins in the realization that its members have more to gain from cooperation than in engaging in separate foreign policies, which would allow enemies to divide and conquer the Alliance. For this reason the Kingdom of Denmark, the Holy Roman Empire, Kingdom of Poland, and Kingdom of Sicily, have formed the Alliance to face common threats, cooperate in the expansion of its member-states, and form a common foreign policy.

2. Obligations of its Members:

a. The primary obligation of members to the Alliance is that of a common defense. Any country that attacks any member becomes an enemy to all, and we will stand united against them.

b. Another obligation to members is to cooperate on forming a common foreign policy concerning the Alliance's relations with the other countries of the world. Whenever possible, members will stand with each other in any dispute or war between a member and any non-member. To ensure that this will not put any member into an awkward position unless absolutely necessary, major plans should be discussed before being put into place by any single member.

c. The Alliance does not prohibit members from making their own bilateral deals or alliances with countries outside of it. However, it is important that Alliance agreements and obligations trump any bilateral agreements and no member should engage in plans against another member.

3. Rights of the Members of the Alliance:

a. Members of the Alliance might withhold aid (military or otherwise) in a war of aggression by one party, with some form of justification, but should guarantee in all cases, not to provide aid to, or intervene on the side of the warring party's enemies.

b. Members of the Alliance might forbid or restrict other members' agent and troops movement on its territory when there is no hostile aggressor presence on the Alliance territory.

c. Members of the Alliance might leave the Alliance, with prior notice.

4. Extraordinary Situations:

a. This charter shall be null and void if any member of the Alliance attacks the Papal State.

b. If any member of the Alliance attacks other member of the Alliance, the aggressor will be instantly expelled from the Alliance and become enemy of the rest of members of Alliance.

I, Prince Simon, declare that the Kingdom of Sicily will rethink its stance towards its longtime ally, France, in the light of their endless wars against godfearing and law-abiding good Christians. My father is down with an ailment and as his heir, I believe that the Kingdom of Sicily is better served remaining allied with its fellow brothers in faith rather than a Kingdom that will attack without reason any other Christian kingdom.

We have supported France without wavering when they went to war against Milan and then against Venice when they had been our allies too. But now attacking the small kingdom of Hungary after seemingly giving them Ragusa can no longer be tolerated.

We shall not be hostile towards France, but we cannot remain allied without jeopardizing all of our other alliances.

[Zim]

Fellow Kings, I hope and pray that this coalition was not formed for the purpose of aiding the aggressive intent of some of its members.

I was right to be concerned about the warships the Danish King had sent to scout out my coastline. This season he landed a large army on my territory and took Scotland's ancestral capital of Edinburg. Even now they march on Inverness.

There has been much said here of French aggression, primarily as directed against those not members of this court. If it is true that you stand against naked aggression and the seizure of land not belonging to the aggressor, I implore you to censor the Danish King. He gave no warning of this attack, on one of his allies. I have done nothing to him, except question his attempts to foment war among the Kings of Europe, and he responds with this despicable act of treachery.
