The Foreign Ministry wonders how 1 MP of people, equivalent to 2-3 million people, just wandered into a previously uninhabited region within a few months. We also congratulate the DKB Foreign Ministry in recognizing a still non-existent nation somewhere in Central America, but we are confused as to what it has to do with Australia. laugh.gif

We do not recognize the legitimacy of the Swiss pretenders in Australia, and will continue to back the claims of our friends (France and the Caliphate) in the region.

The Caliphate rejects this pitiful and worthless attempt by the New Swiss infidels to take what rightfully belongs to the Caliph and the French Republic. We will enter Central Firanj beginning on January 31, to ensure that the New Swiss puppet government departs and that the rightful rule of the Caliph and the French Republic is restored. We give New Switzerland until April 1, 1900 to withdraw all forces, supplies, and equipment from Central Firanj, or face war.

We have been always willing to arbitrate the possession of Central Firanj peacefully, but this attempt by the New Swiss to take disputed territory under a sickening guise of democracy is too much. The infidels will leave Central Firanj, or be slaughtered. Those are their choices.

I dont know tongue.gif since they dont have infastructure I gave them an MP.

The Goverment of New Switzerland recognizes the Republic of Central Australia and will defend her independance. We consider the declaration of a Swiss puppet state an insult to our honor.

Well, seeing as the DKB Foreign Ministry doesn't know how to recognize them, let alone make them a puppet, I think its safe to assume who's behind this, especially as NS is the country posting the news... dry.gif

And yes, we hope that your honor has been insulted, especially since you have blatantly tried to extend your sphere of influence into what is rightfully our territory, against all of the unwritten laws of fair diplomacy.

The bumbling secretaries that couldn't find the right continent when drafting the previous message have been sent to Ost Afrika, their new assignment being to count hippopotami.

The DKB wonders why, if the Caliphate has such a strong claim to the central part of Australia...which was nominally French territory not too long ago...they have not bothered to previously do something with it?

We remind the Caliph that under the terms of the Treaty of Brandenburg, any agression on the part of the Caliphate against Swiss, or Dutch, forces will be considered an act of war against the Deutsches Kaiserreich Brandenburg and will be treated accordingly.

****

(ooc)

The area in central Australia is inhabited. This area was previously claimed by France; "settlers" (mostly convicts, or so I've heard...) arrived, but the French Army was conspicious by its absence. The DKB and Netherlands saw an oppertunity and moved in, the Russians moved to "help" their French allies...and then the French went and renounced their claim to the place. So there are a fair number of disenfranchised settlers in the place, along with the Aboriginies.

1MP may seem a tick generous...but only if you only count the European settlers.

(I used the 0.3MP from the 1899 bonus round to represent the new DKB territory in @ Queensland.)

The 'Swiss puppet state' bit was posted under the OOC banner, so your IC avatars don't know that little tidbit (although they are free to make assumptions wink.gif ).

January 14, 1900

The King has declared that he will reserve judgement on this new nation until he hears from that nation's local populous directly, or for after the return of the Fellowship of the Nine Travelers, and heard a report of the area from them. The King hopes that this new nation might be "native" based and work closely with the Maoris in the future.

France did renounce the Claim on Central Australia. Unfortunatly, to soon and to publicly. The vice minister that gave out this news is now "demoted".

The claim that the Caliphate can make on the Central Australian desert is the one of most capable settlers, also the negotiations about the possible transfer of the former French area were ongoing but due other direct problems, on hold.


France will not recognize the spurious claim that the unciviliced desert and only sparingly populated by Aboriginies and a few escaped convicts could be a country.

If New Swiss wants to build a larger colony, that they call the thing the correct name.

Now it just seems idiotic and an insult to our esteemed Partners the Caliphate of Cairo.

But, a fair warning to The Caliphate. Don't slaughter civilians in that area. France will not allow this.

For New Swiss, wouldn't a formal negotiation with the other colonial powers on Australia be a better idea?

Her Majesty Queen Wilhelmenia, recognizes the independence of Central Australia.
and will to uphold its treaty obligations.

The French did renounce its claims Australia, and if the minister who did is now 'demoted' why wasn't he demoted at that time and the statment retracted then. The French even asked it's allies the Russians to leave Australia as it no longer wished to persue it claims.
The Caliph did not make a claim to the area. Nobody did but the New Swiss helped the people there establish the own self rule. and the Dutch will lend any assistance the Republic of Central Australia requests.

Decree from the Tsungli Yamen:

Her Imperial Majesty the Empress Dowager Tzu Hsi and His Imperial Majesty the Emperor Kaili have taken notice of the proceedings of the yang guizi in the continent known as Australia.
When the Most Honerable Liaing Tung-yen, President of the Board of Foreign Affairs, inquired as to Her Divine Sereneness' opinion about this matter, it is said that She replied: "Oh how nice to watch the children play."
The official stance of the Tsungli Yamen is therefore to wait and see how developments continue.

The Confederate States of America,
Recognising the will of the people of the Republic of Central Australia to rule themselves in a manner selected by themselves, and
Recognising that the Empire of France has relinquished its' own claim to these territories
Considers the Republic of Central Australia an independent state, worthy of diplomatic contact. The Confederate States of America will accordingly establish an embassy in Alice Springs, if the Republic of Central Australia is so willing, at a time that meets with their approval, and extends a reciprocal invitation to the aforementioned nation.



OOC:

The Confederate States of America, if it knew the truth behind the RCA, would swiftly withdraw its' support. And probably its' observer status in the 'blockade' of California.

But it doesn't, so they're behaving as if all is well.

The Caliph of Cairo has claimed all of Firanj, which the rest of the world calls Australia, since the 15th century. While we have acceeded to the claims of the infidels along the eastern coast of Firanj, we will accept no intrusions into the interior.

We might also note that the claims of the infidel Dutchmen were also made over our protestations. Were we protesting because we did not already have a claim? No.

But this has now gone too far. When the infidels attempt to claim territory by making a false nation, taking ALL of the rest of the disputed territory without any kind of negotiation, they will suffer the consequences. Our demands still stand, and may the infidels choose wisely to leave!

The DKB wonders why, if the Caliphate has claimed Australia "since the 15th century" it has not bothered to occupy the continent, but only its western part?

We repeat our previous warning: any actions against New Swiss forces will be considered an act of war against the Second Reich under the terms of the Treaty of Brandenburg and will be dealt with accordingly.

For France, the esteemed Caliphate of Caïro has a point.
According to the Glorious French extensive archives, The Caliphate made the Claim on Australia in 1499 dicovered by the great explorer Tarique.
In the past the Caliphate leaders didn't want to take the excessive cost to defend a whole continent with too little troops, to little recources and technology not ripe enough to do it good.
The generous offer to let France use the Central part of Australia to setlle temporarely, was, now they explained directly, nothing more than a way to let the country to be occupied by a honorable and dependable ally.

The declaration of independence, supported by the Tripple alliance has galvanized the Caliphates Leaders to do something about the whole mess.

France understands, but wishes to avoid war.
