Karlstad 1/3 09
The presidential Palace(former Royal Palace).
Good morning ;Primeminister.
Good morning ; Mr President.
Ps:Congratulation with the conclusion of the negotiations with the United Norman Kingdom.It pleases me very much that we have settled our differences in a civilised manner,and on top of it also a treaty,again I must congratulate you.
Pm:Thank you,yes and with the reaffirmation of our pact with the Dutch,we have achived one of our political goals,peace and stability in the north atlantic area and will give many beneficial advantages for all parties ,but the political situation abroad still gives reasons for concern.Firstly the french was not overly fond of towards our treaty with the Unk and there is a omnious silence and lack of news from Russia and Ukraina and I must advise the out most caution!
Ps:I agree the silence from the east is a bit bothersome,is there any news besides?
Pm: That can only be that we are reinstating the Scapa-Flottilia,wtich I hope will appreciate the Dutch.
Hamburg 16/3 09
It was a grey cold morning,the last smelting snowdrifts was laying black and white along the street, slowly withering away in the morning fog creeping in from the Baltic-sea.A foghorn is heard in the distance as Albert Smith made his way through the gates at the Blohm&Voss Shipyard.As a 34 year old father of two boys,Heinz and Albert,Jr. and happily married to Lise for the last twelve years.
Another at work,he thought to himself,but not without pride.
For last two and a half month he had been working on the new battleship Denmark and had seen the ,in his eyes,beatifull ship slowly taking form in the drydock alongside its sister Sweden laid down last year.
It had been a difficult times after the "Red Rebelion" and the tumultous times during the "halcyon Incident" ,things had gotten to the better after the legalization and the election,and now the new legislation being passed in the parlament,giving his sons the possibility to go even to the university,free health-care and the new possibility to have a state subsidised 30 year loan to buy or build a small house for him and his family.For Albert and and his workmates it felt that somehow the goals from the "Red Rebelion" in some strange way was coming through,so all in all,it looked like the future,at least for time being,was brigther than in a long time.
Albert thougth to himself,while openning his tool-box:Maybe I should apply for a housing-loan?
Flensburg 23/3 09 
"Flotten-Kadet Rolf Jonsson"; Schouttbynacht Svennson called out as he opened the door to his office.
Rolf went in and stood to attention in front of Schouttbynacht Svennson.
At ease,and congratulation,you have passed your final theoretical exam,and moreover as the top off the class,good show!so now your last nine month months of sea-training oooh,let me see,oh on the Jormundgand.
She is a good ship,brand,new less than a year old and in Scapa.
Hmm,thats fine,so god luck young man.
Dissmiss!
Rolt left the office,his head spinning,feeling a bit dizzy;The Jormungand,the navys newest battleship and in Scapa.He ran down the stairs to the dormitory to pack his things; Jormungand, Scapa,his head kept spinning!

OOC - Scapa? That's Nederlandse territory?

[Borys]

The Habsburg Government views with satisfaction the smoothing over of tensions in Northern Europe.

I guess there's a joint Dutch/Baltic fleet at Scapa.
