[Formula51]

To All Nations:

Spain does not allow any nation without express permission to colonize in the areas given to spain by His Holiness. Any nation who violates this will recieve an immediate declaration of war, and the disputed colonies will be taken by Spain. We do, however, encourage colonization in other zones (most notably africa, with it's 2 gold provinces and 2 base 10+ provinces) and will provide military access to make colonization of these areas easier. A reasonable price for this can be arranged.

Her Majesty Queen Isabel,
Queen of Spain
Suzerain of Naples
Duchess of Sicily

 

[Formula51]

The Treaty of America:

England will not colonize for 50 years in the ToT, in exchange for military access and the province of Savannah.

Signed,
Queen Isabel of Spain
Duchess of Sicily
Protector of Naples

LOL The King of Brandenburg suspects that the GM does not view us favorably. For not only has he spelt the name of our glorious monarch, Philip II, name incorrectly (only 1 L), he has also mis-spelt the name of our sacred Kingdom of Brandenburg (you put an M instead of an N) :rofl:


We demand an immediate apology in the form of 500 ducats

Dont use my remarks as an excuse for war, especially when I know you are just mad at me because of that weekend we spent in the canary islands when i was double playing you and the 2nd daughter of the portugese king. (actually I cant remeber if it was his 2nd daughter, or simply the 2nd one of his daughters that I slept with)


On a serious note: The King of Brandenburg (yes, I am King) formally opens up diplomatic relations with all other nations of Europe and the Middle east. All are currently welcomed in our court

Good Lord, now anyone call himself a king? As far as Sweden is concerned, Brandenburg is a proud Margrave and Elector of the HRE, but there is not a title of King of Germans. After all, they are part of an empire last time we check.

God grants such titles to those who are loyal

No doubt jealous because I have had the pleasure of your queen as well (as well as 3 of your daughters, but regretablly not your mother, for even I would not invade that fortress)

My Lord, the King of England, Henry VII, don't see why some Margrave now called himself King... and even more, of the Germans, since there is an Emperor Elected between you, and now is the Habsburgian Archduke... well... the only one who has the right to refute this is the Austrian Emperor.... also, our great King wants to express his satisfaction of reaching a great agreement between the Kingdoms of Spain and England, he hopes that this will be the beginning of a estable relation between our countries.

Be aware, infidels. The Sultan shall speak:

“Polytheists, I, The Sultan of the Great Ottoman Empire, greet you. It’s under my interest have good relations even with you. The Imperial armies like peace but wont abandon a fight if this will secure one of our rightful claims gave to us by Allah.

I, The Sultan of the Great Ottoman Empire, hope to find a noble and honorable Christian leader and want a approximations with the Occident. But foolish actions, like the one that the Prince of Berlin did, is not well seen in Istanbul. For the best of my knowledge, this mess that is the Christian world is, have an Emperor and this infidel rule in that land called Germania, where this little principality lays. So, how can he demand a King title? I don’t want to think that this Emperor isn’t able to keep the status quo…or shall the Ottomans do the job?

Once again is repeated, as long as we can’t bring to the Imperial border all claims that the Ottoman Empire has rights (expect, of course, your capitals) we wont be satisfied. Until now, only the Spanish King sent an emissary stating humbly that he recognizes all Ottoman claims and that Hungary also should be, in its majority, Turkish. I hope to not find trouble in there. If so, I shall leave to the Emperor of the Infidels the right to have all Hungarian lands that border Wien.

Another issue is Africa. Despite the fact that this must and should be a Muslim continent, we shall grant to some Kings the right to colonize there. A large part of West Africa was being gave to Spain. Also South Africa, it should be split between English and those “Franks”. Also be careful to not hurt any Muslim nations there. I hope that The Imperial foreign minister can have good relations with both, England and France. And we are still waiting for their respective emissaries.

Best Wishes,

The Sultan of The Ottoman Empire, Defender of Al Koran and Allah.”

This was the word of my lord, the Sultan. Reflect under it, infidels and maybe you can see the light and can have a fraction of His wisdom.

The Gran Vizir of Istanbul

Well I should have been writing an essay, instead I found this thread as a good distraction. Now, any poor grade i receive on my essay will thus fall on the shoulders of the GM

1.) The elected Emperor is not *Emperor of the Germans*, he is Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.~ The empire is not only german

2.) I believe the Swedish King argued that because Brandenburg was part of the HRE, it could not be claimed a Kingdom. If I were to accept that argument, the same would apply to the Austrian Archduke. He is the Archduke of Austria who happens to also be emporer of the HRE (im pretty sure he begins the scenerio with this status). But I personally don't mind if the Austrian lord wishes to claim such titles..."For a title does not change a man, it is man who changes th title."

 

[DSYoungEsq]

As Prime Minister to His Majesty, Frederick Habsburg, I would like to politely correct this unfortunate slander.

Maximillian Habsburg has been King of Germany since election in 1486 at the request of his father, Frederick Habsburg, Holy Roman Emperor, Arch-Duke of Austria, Duke of Styria, Carinthia and Carniola, etc. Frederick Habsburg was elected King of Germany in 1440, upon the death of his second cousin, Albert II Habsburg, who was Duke of Austria, King of the Romans, King of Germany, King of Hungary and King of Bohemia.

It is unclear from the records when, exactly, the title "King of Germany" came about, but it is clear that the concept extends back to Karl the Great, whom many know by the corrupted name of Charlemagne. Habsburg family members have routinely been elected to the position, with certain interruptions, since Rudolph Habsburg in 1273.

The March-Count of Brandenburg, while entitled to some esteem as Elector Brandenburg, is hardly able to claim a royal title; his effort to do so will cause much censure in the Christian world, as it is without any support from the Church, from whose hand all such privileges are received. My masters do presume that Johann Cicero Hohenzöllern will accord due deference to the Emperor and the King of the Germans.

 

[DSYoungEsq]

Just an interesting side-note, and somewhat out of character:

The rulers of Prussia did not obtain the title of "King" until 1701, being previously the March-Count (Markgraf) of Brandenburg and the Duke (Herzog) of Prussia. The Margrave of Brandenburg (to use the Anglified version of the title) was, by the Golden Bull, Elector Brandenburg.

there's a person who sees the future in the Archduke's court!!!... we demand an investigation directed from the Holy Seat!!

:rofl:

 

[Casluerj]

To the best of my knowlegde the Title of King of Prussia was only adquired, diplomatically, in 1701 when Friederich I made an agreement with the Emperor Karl VI: Prussia would make an alliance with Austria in exchange of the austrian recognization of the Kingdom title.

I love how everyone refutes a single part of my signature, but completely disregards such other remarks as impregnator of queens and my claim to being an immortal king. As i have said, nothing i have yet posted in this thread has any legitimacy (i am only screwing around), and all who have engaged in legitimate diplomacy with myself know that I am simply signing my name in any real "summiting".

P.S. If the Austrian Archduke claims the title of Emperor, then by default his wife is Empress, in which case i should adjust my signator to Impregnator of Queens/Empresses.
