It has come to our attention that Germany is maintaining a large mercenary force that it is making available to all nations. We were taken quite by surprize by such a large German force outside of the Indian city of Boston. They did seem to be quite a large and impressive force.

In light of assurances from several German representatives that Germany had no role in planning the invasion of India, and were merely pursuing a purely neutral business arrangement with America, India is similarly interested in pursuing a business arrangement with Germany.

To the point - we wish to hire the German mercenaries we observed so impressively under American command just a few years ago. We intend to use that army to retake Boston - and perhaps additional territory - from the Americans.

Please inform us of what the Americans paid you, and the other terms of that deal, and we will match it.

First of all we must inform you that the German mercenaries are currently engaged in another effort.

Secondly, they are not for hire to India as your nation and its leaders have repeatedly shown a most hostile and unsavourary attitude towards our own and even further popular resentment against our people.

And finally, your desire to expand at America's expense is not in Germany's longterm interests, nor does such an aggression carry any acceptable justification.

Furthermore we feel that we must add that your threats are not appreciated and as a result Germany is henceforth severing all diplomatic contact with India until such a moment when your belligerent attitude has changed and your leadership is willing to work towards a conciliatory relationship with its neighbours.

The new leadership of India sends its sincerest condollances for the passing of Queen Isabella, and wishes King Ferdinand a long and prosperous reign. I apologize for our late response, but much has been happening here of late.

I thank you for your letter, it was warmly received and indeed asks all the right questions we are currently considering here in India. Germany now attempts to absolve themselves of all responsibility in the conquest of Boston, however their words ring hollow.

If they were truly the neutral source of mercenaries for hire as they claim, they wouldn't have balked at renting their army to India. However clearly Germany sees no problem in loaning their large army to America so they can invade and sieze Indian territory, yet refuse to make the same deal with India.

It is thus the solemn conclusion of India that Germany was directly involved in the planning and administration of the Boston invasion, and if the good nations of the world don't defend themselves against such unchecked lust for conquest, then any one of us could next find ourselves on the menu.

I urge all nations to sever their diplomatic ties with America, France, and especially the duplicitous Germans.

The Spanish Succession. (Part III)

Olivares' army routed the Spanish troops stationed to protect Madird. Generals Francisco Pizarro and Hernan Cortez were captured and imprisoned, along with numerous nobles who were aligned with Ferdinand. Many of the citizens, who were predominately Buddhist, went over to Olivares' side against King Ferdinand, who had escaped to Seville at the behest of his chief advisor Salvadar Duarte de Sevilla. With the people on his side Olivares was easily able to enter the Citadel and capture the King's top aides and allies.

Gaspar Guzman de Olivares was set up as steward of Spain, awaiting the birth of his son who was to be King based on a decree by Queen Isabella. Olivares began his reforms; first the country was feudalised into small feifdoms (which obviously came under the control of the Hapsburgs) and administered by Dukes who would be favorable to Olivares. While Olivares pretended to protect Buddhism, he was in fact creating a powerful Christian order within Spain, establishing what he deemed the Spanish Catholic Church, with the archbishop of Toledo as the head of the Spanish Catholic Church. With the world fixated on the southern conflict between India and America, Olivares was able to stage a coup in Spain without gaining the attention of foreign lands. The King's brother Carlos V who as on a mission for his brother to travel throughout the Jewish Kingdoms had no clue of the coup until he recieved a letter from a courier close to Delhi, India. In the letter Colonel De Parma informed Carlos V that Olivares forces had won handily, and were establishing reforms in the Kingdom, he also explained that Ferdinand had escaped and would certainly be executed if he was discovered.

Olivares then had himself proclaimed Emperor of Spain, naming his son Agosto heir to the throne. He even went so far as to adopt the title "El Cid" in celebration of his attack on Madrid and the fall of Ferdinand (he likened the assault on Madrid to El Cid's assault on Madrid which ousted the tyrant Bainor). He even allowed for the safe return of his "brother" Carlos V, what he didn't realize is that Carlos' return would be dangerous for him, and not Carlos V. Carlos V rallied his exploratory force to return to Spain and depose Olivares. Carlos found it difficult to gain support among Spain's ruling elite, who were Hapsburgs and reluctant to help Carlos because of his ties to the house of Bourbon, despite the fact that Carlos himself is a Hapsburg. When Olivares discovered Carlos designs, who realized he had to act quickly, and in a show of power found Ferdinand and had him executed in a humilating fashion (the display was said to have made Isabella II pass out.) Carlos was enraged, and marched his army north towards Toledo, gaining support from Incan slaves which he promised to grant freedom to once he was installed as King.

Olivares decided it would be best to meet Carlos before he reached Madrid, and marched an army from Cordoba, meeting him in the plains north of Salamanca. The two armies clashed violently, with the Conquistadors under Carlos gaining ultimate victory. Carlos realized in order to keep Spain under control he had to let Olivares live, this way his enemies could not make a martyr of him. He didn't do much to change the policies of Olivares, but he made great strides in setting the nobles into his favor, and establishing a stronger position for himself within the Catholic Church by naming himself the Holy Spanish Emperor and giving himself officially recognized church position as a divine ruler. Carlos decided it was time to revitalize the Spanish military, claiming that the projects of Isabella and Sancho were costing more money than was necessary, and were only begun to establish a positive historical view of the rulers. Carlos managed to establish a strong military sense in the Spanish Empire, one that would continue for centuries and help Carlos establish himself as one of the finest Spanish monarchs that ever ruled.

Carlos V Takes Control of Spanish Empire!
Madrid - Spanish General Carlos V has taken control of the Spanish Empire following the collapse of Ferdinand of Aragon, and the ensuing coup-de-etat on the part of Don Gaspar Guzman de Olivares. Carlos V is the brother of former King Ferdinand of Aragon, and son of the late Queen Isabella of Castille. Upon hearing news of his brother's downfall, Carlos called upon the loyalty of his Conquistador Knights to march from the south of the continent all the way to Salamanca to meet the forces of Olivares. The victory of Carlos established his line's legitemacy following claims that Ferdinand was feminine and unfit to rule. The royal court has been completely reworked as Carlos wants to surround himself with loyal advisors who he can trust; "The failure of Ferdinand to maintain control was due to his reliance on his foreign minister Salvador Duarte de Sevilla" Emperor Carlos V told the Monitor "I have replaced all of the former members of court with new advisors I can rely on." Carlos has already given himself the distinction of becoming the first ruler to be recognized by the Catholic Church of Spain. The Archbishop of Madrid, Juan Pedro III, has named him Emperor of the Holy Spanish Empire in the name of Jesus Christ.

Christianity Becomes Official State Religion.
Madrid - Following the conversion to Christianity by Queen Isabella of Castille, the religion Christianity has spread throughout the Empire like wildfire, becoming of the official faith of the Spanish Nobility, and ousting Buddhism as the official state religion. The faith spread into Toledo, and from there spread to the east following the Great World War. Spain becomes the second country in the world to embrace the faith, and joins Russia and her King Peter II. "The religion became popular in Spain when people began searching for answers to the violence, and the hate that plagued humanity, particularly in the south" said Archbishop Juan Pedro III, "The new faith has shown people that despite the world's horrors, with a life loyal and true to God our father and our lord Jesus Christ one can achieve eternal happiness in heaven."

English Troops Appear South of Barcelona!
Barcelona - An unanounced army of England arrived south of Barcelona from China. "The Chinese government had indicated to us earlier that the English had an army stationed in their capital Beijing, they didn't necessarily say they were aggressive, howver didn't rule anything out, we suspect it is the very same army that was there in Beijing" new foreign minister Don Pedro Abarca de Bolea explained "Most likely the unit is on a mapping mission, but when asked [about their presence] the English failed to respond to our inquiries." It is no secret that Spanish-English relations haven't been good since their secret alliance disbanded prior to the Great War, where the two became enemies. "The English believe the Spanish owe them something" Emperor Carlos V said "We've explained to them on more than one occasion that once our people went to war and became enemies, all deals were off the table, they now want to revert and hold us to our former deal, it is not going to happen and is quite ridiculous on their part." The English army has left Spanish territory, however there is little that the Emperor can do as Spain and England have an open borders agreement.

American Forces Threaten India Into Return of Boston!
Boston, America - A largely German army under the command of American forces quickly surrounded Boston and demanded its return. Following peace talks headed by Spain and Germany the situation was resolved and the city was returned to American rule, after more than a century of Indian influence. Initially India's ally the Russians questioned the move, to which American replied that "Boston is an American city, not an Indian [city]." Spanish officials took interest in the situation and were concerned that this localized conflict could again result in another large-scale war, they suggested some sort of agreement be reached. Germany seconded the move by Spain, as did the English. However France leveled charges against Spain saying they were in collusion with the Indians. Queen Isabella, the leader of Spain at the time, took offense to this matter calling the French "cowards." Finally the international community got its wish and India returned the city of Boston to the Americans. The Inca, English, Germans, and Spanish gave undisclosed quantities of gold, however leaks indicate that the Spanish donation to the Indians was a hefty sum. New information came to light shortly after the agreement that proved the soldiers involved were in fact German mercenaries operating under American command. Charges of conspiracy are currently being alluded to by Indian diplomats.

Buddhism Spreads to the Chinese City of Hangzhou.
Hangzhou, China - While Buddhism may have been overtaken by Christianity in Spain, it thrives in China where yet another city fell under the sway of the Buddhist faith. The Spanish Guru Santo has even decided to make China his home; "Spain has delved from the path of enlightenment" the Guru Santo remarked "leaving a tradition followed by great men like El Cid, leaving a tradition with a proud heritage founded in the capital of the Empire itself." The Chinese government remains Buddhist despite changes in faith in Russia (Christianity), Spain and India (back to Hinduism.)

Indian General Pusyamitra (sp?) Stages Coup in India!
Delhi, India - Following the capitulation of Ashoka to the menacing American efforts on Boston, India has fallen into dissent as loyal Hindus have overthrown their Confucian leader in exchange for a powerful military figure. "The time has come for India to become powerful again!" said one Hindu citizen of India. The coup marks the end of the Maurya dynasty which fought and won the Great World War, and established India as a figurehead of a powerful alliance with the Russians and Chinese. The change in power in India has already had foreign repercussions as France and Germany refuse to recognize the new leader. Emperor Carlos V has made it a point to maintain regular talks with the Indians; "This has the potential to culminate in another war, especially considering the manner in which the General has come to power. This could be seen as aggression by the Americans, and it is in the world's best interest to see this end peacefully."

American Units Stage Strikes!
Robington, America - Soldiers in America have staged strikes accross the land, claiming that the American government has done little to support or even pay them in recent years. "I served my country greatly at the battle of Madras, and in Boston" said one veteran "The money stopped coming and I still joined their efforts at Boston, hoping that after we got it back from India we'd get paid." But they didn't get paid. The issue came to a fevered pitch when American soldiers discovered that the German mercenaries who marched on Boston were paid before they were. "It is ridiculous that the President would pay foreigners before his own people! What does this say?" said Don Pedro Abarca de Bolea. When the Madrid Monitor requested an interview with an American official, the American government declined to respond.

What's the Matter with France?
By Don Pedro Abarca de Bolea

As new foreign minister under Emperor Carlos V, it is my duty to make sure foreign influences, and conflicts, don't reach the doorstep of the Spanish Empire. Because of this I understand that foreign powers probably don't want Spain meddling in their own affairs, which a recent transmission from the Americans states quite clearly. There is a marked difference in this current situation between India and France however, and here is why; this could cause another World War. The Americans can deny it all they want, they can claim we are getting involved in something that isn't our business, but last time I checked Spain was involved in the Great War, and last time I checked it started under similar circumstances. So in a very real way America, yes, this does involve us. So despite the attempts of American President Robert, Spain will attempt along with Germany, England and other nations to end this matter peacefully. America has made statements such as "we will discuss long-term peace," which if you read between the lines means "we are going to do something similar to this again, and if you want to keep your cities you will give in to our demands." Spain refuses to let a peace-neighbor such as India have this occur to them, we refuse to allow American zionism to continue unabated in the northern lands. We wish only for peace-terms to be fufilled, and abided by. America can claim that India has taken their land illegally all they want, but last time I checked it was Robert's signature on the treaty that gave Boston to India, and last time I checked breaking a treaty makes you a liar. So if France wants to call Spain a liar, and a traitor, for doing nothing to any of her allies (France to this day is considered a barbarian nation by the Spanish nobility) then so be it. Apparently in the Jewish faith treaties and contracts are worth only the ink and paper they are created with. If France considers America righteous and Spain intolerable for attempting to broker peace two times in their area, for abiding by all of its treaties, and for attempting to use words over swords then I ask this; what is the matter with France?

[KunojiLym]

To All Nations

The Catholic Church notes with much alarm the growing hostilities in the south. While we deplore the duplicity and bullying of the Jewish states, we are also concerned by the unreasoning anger that the Hindus seem to be caught up in. We urge all parties concerned, thusly, to take a leaf from Jesus the Savior. Matthew 5:9 tells us that blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. So we pray that the Holy Spirit may enter into the hearts of man, and that love and justice may pervail. Pursuent to this matter, I invite the leaders of Germany, India, Russia, Spain, America and France to a Grand Summit in Moscow, so that they may frankly speak their minds to each other, and reach thusly an understanding.

May the Lord bless you, and stay evil from your heart. Amen.

To: The Spanish Administration
From: Robert LXVII, King of the Americans

For your information, America has bought a number of French and German troops. America paid much money for this.
Besides that has America hired some German and French troops. Once again America paid much money for these troops.

Since both France and Germany suffered much loss to maintain their military powers they both agreed to this.
The core and the majority of the American armies consisted out of americans though. Like the american cities are still protected well by it's armies.

This doesn't mean that neither France nor Germany served America in this war. This war was purely between India and America. With the sole purpose to return Boston into American hands. Something that was greatly desired by the citizen of Boston. Immediately after the American soldiers freed Boston the citizen partied in the street and celebrated the "We love the King" day. This is not mentioned in your biased newspapers. Freedom of press is something you apparantly have never heard of. (Not that I know what that is, but that's another topic)

Now we are on the topic of bias, I do not remember that any money has been paid to the Americans after it gave up the city of Boston to end the World War.
If America would not have given up the city of Boston, the World War would most probably have been continued up till today. But nobody paid America any money, and America was the only nation to suffer from the results of the World War.

And now the Americans have retoken what was already theirs, the Indians received large payments from Spain?
Why? To end the war? The war had already ended, since America had no interest in more war.

I urge the spanish kings to stay outside of the conflicts they're not a part of. Their treacherous attitude made them lose the respect we used to have for them.

You sniveling wining little mule! A simple newspaper is sent by a private group, and you come whining to the Spanish? We will have no more of your politicizing.

The Madrid Monitor has nothing to do with the royal house of Spain, whatever they print is whatever they print and we have no say in the matter. In fact, the Monitor tells us they made multiple attempts to talk to the Americans surrounding the issue of the attack on Boston, the strike of American workers, and the we love the President day. American declined each time to speak with the Monitor. You can't blame the Spanish government for something a privately owned newspaper did when you DIDN'T MAKE A SINGLE EFFORT TO TALK TO THEM OR EXPLAIN YOUR POSITION.

They don't make information up, if they don't have it they can't print it. And if you don't give it to them they don't have it. I hope this isn't TOO COMPLICATED for a heretic barbarian such as yourself to understand.

Good day,

Carlos, firstly: you completely ignore the matters that you should speak out about, while talking about minor issues like the newspaper articles (no American has been approached by this so called 'independant' newspaper btw)
Besides that, it's amazing how a person who sends that much insults out calls someone else a barbarian.

Letter to Emperor Carlos V

Concerning the recent conflict and its potential aftermath.

As you have undoubtedly realized there are again rumours of war in the southern regions. We wish to state the following in order to clarify Germany's stand. We do not unequivocally support America in all their dealings and announcements, Germany has a foreign policy at this moment far removed from that of America. We do not know if America desires further expansion on the expense of India, but since they were more than content to settle for Boston despite their overwhelming military superiority and made no attempt to conquer traditionally Indian lands, we doubt that America has any further grudges against its neighbours.

As you are certainly aware of we did supply America with some weaponry and mercenaries. However we did not act in this manner, as the paranoid Indians claim, as part of an orchestration of an attack upon Boston. Germany had no part in the planning or execution of this hostile reclamation.

Germany does however agree with America that Boston is ancestral American land and thus its people should be under American rule. India has stated that 45% of the population of Boston is Indian. In other words 55% of the population is American. Furthermore if India considers the Great War a justification for taking Boston, then why is it wrong for America to retake it by similar means? America was forced to surrender Boston, India was forced to surrender Boston. The cases are the same, but the city is ancestral American land, even its name proves this most clearly. Therefore Germany supported the peaceprossess and the return of the spoils of the previous War to its rightful owner. That India has declared their intention to retake the city shows that they neither intend to stand by the recently signed peace agreement.

As for India's continous threats and belligerence towards our nation we hope that you will see who is the aggressor in these deliberations and show yourself the righteous man I have heard that you are and not support them in their bloodthirsty rhetoric.

While we may have many differences we agree that peace is desirable, War is not. Germany wishes peace and the continued balance that has recently been restored to the region by the return of Boston to its original owner. India has declared to us that they intend on reconquering Boston and more of American lands. Perhaps this seems justice in Indian eyes, but we call it avarice and bloodlust. Undoubtfully you have your own views of this matter and we would be delighted to hear them as we seek allies to maintain the fragile peace existing in the south.

Perhaps you consider the Americans as savage and uncouth, and in truth that is not entirely incorrect. Yet the solution should not be to attack them and attempt to force them into submission, that will only cause more hatred and lead to more wars and misery. Instead America should be assisted to a level of civility similar to that of Spain. Germany has had the strength and wisdom to pull ourselves out of barbarism, but our northeastern neighbours have not been so fortunate, partly I belive, due to India's crippling postwar demands upon them.

In the end we wish to request of you that you support our attempts towards a peaceful solution. That Spain and other nations offered India a compensation for Boston, only to be followed by Indian declarations of intent to reconquer it by force shows a disturbing tendency towards blind aggression and even a disrespect towards your own considerable contribution towards continued peace. We hope you will stand by us in our attempt to maintain peace and that if hostilites were to erupt that you would not support those that would initiate aggression.

To: All nations of Terra
From: Robert LXVII

I hereby officially declare that America does not desire or plan or intend to expand it's territory at the cost of other nations. We will not use our armies to invade the territory of other nations. We will not use our armies for any offensive purposes. Therefor the ministry of War has been renamed into the Ministry of Defense.
The American armies will only be used to defense it's territory and the territory of it's allies against invading troops.

I wish that all the borders stay as they are right now. I frown upon any form of aggression between two nations, for sure if it concerns nations of the south. Therefor I do not even accept it if one of my allies would decide to invade the territory of our long-term enemies, like the Indian, the Russian or the Spain. America will not serve any of it's allies in offensive matters. It will help it's allies though if war is upon them and the enemy is before their city gates.

Besides the protection that America offers to it's allies, America wants to offer it's help to the Indians as well. Our neighbours. We used to be friends, long ago. Stories tell that the friendship between India and America is the oldest of all friendships between nations, and that India and America already had pacts and agreements before any of the other nations made these.

Therefor I hereby offer friendship again to India. I offer them to fight with them if they are invaded and protect them from any aggression, like I offer and give to my allies, the French, the German, the Incan and the English.

To summarize this message: the borders of Terrar have been drawn. I insist that they stay as they are an ask all nations of Terra to agree with this and battle together against any nation that decides to start war again

To All Nations

Clearly, the immeadiate trigger for all this talk of war is the manner by which America forced India to give up Boston. Leaving matters of who has the greatest claim to Boston aside, I can safely say that the subsequent change in government and mood in India is a direct consequence of American (and possibly German) thoughtlessness on the matter. Naturally, that is all in the past. I propose that India and America, the principle parties in this dispute, come to an agreement regarding the status of Boston. From all that is said, Boston is in equal parts both Indian and American; a point that should bear keeping in mind.

On a slightly different subject, the mercenary and not completely unbiased attitude of Germany with regards to the sale of her troops is a great cause for concern. I suggest that there be no further sale or loan of troops on such a scale, least the balance of power in Terra be tipped towards general war.

I am perfectly willing to set up a meeting between you and Consul Chola of India; that is, if he proves amiable to such a meeting. Understand that there is much popular resentment among the Indian people against America, whether or not it is justifiable, and the Consul appears to represent that popular sentiment. To that end, perhaps you may wish to offer, as a prelude to any meeting, a sincere and heartfelt apology over the manner in which Boston was handed over to America. After all, as I have stated in my previous open letter, that matter seems to have been the trigger leading to all this tension.

Peter II, Tsar of the Russian Empire.

[Robert]

To Peter II, Tsar of Russia
CC: Rajaraja Chola, First Consul for Life of India
From: Robert LXVII, King of America

Thanks Peter, for your quick response.
I understand that the battles of Boston cannot be ignored while discussing lasting peace. I agree with you that we should speak about this.

I agree with Germany that it cannot be ignored either that America has made aggressive moves in this matter. I can see how the Indian people see us as their aggressive neighbours. I will not act as if America has clean hands. Neither will I say that America is without any sins and we're a holy country that never made mistakes.

America has made mistakes. I have made mistakes as their king. The cause for the World War, centuries ago, was, among others, American misunderstanding and undiplomatic action by me myself.

In my defense I must add that America never had the intention to provoke war, and that I'd rather have avoided the World War. Eventhough I see that I could have been more humble on the jewish missionary issue and peace could have lasted if I would not have reacted that intense to Russia and America. But madness ruled the world in those days, and it's not only America who's to blame for those days.

During the World War several battles have happened between America and India. To set the facts straight, this happened:

1. The first battle of Boston started when Indian and Russian troops invaded America and layed siege on Boston. This attack could be countered by American soldiers, with help from their allies, the German and the French.

2. The battle of Madras happened after the 1st battle of Boston. American troops invaded Indian territory, together with allied troops. After a long siege and after the defenses of Madras had bombed down and catapults had done serious damage to all defenders, the allied troops attacked and lost the battle barely.

3. The 2nd battle of Boston started just after the Americans lost the battle of Madras. Indian troops invaded American territory and eliminated the German archers that were protecting the city. The capture of Boston by the Indians provoked the peace and the end of the World War.

4. The 3rd battle of Boston happened years later. American troops layed siege on Boston and gave an ultimatum to give up Boston to the Indian administration. First the Indian adminstration did not give in. Then the American catapults damaged the indian defenders, and a huge amount of troops marched towards Boston. After India saw the huge ammount of these troops, it surrerendered Boston, after a few more small skirmisches had caused the dead of some indian and american soldiers.

To sum it up:
Both India and America have invaded each other's territory twice.
Both India and America have made one failed attempt to take one of each other's cities.
Both India have captured Boston once.
Both India and America have faced much loses in these wars.

Apparantly we didn't gain anything. Neither India nor America made any profit in these wars.
Therefor I regret these wars. I want to apologize to the Indian for the invasion of Madras. I also apologize for making attacks on Boston, while the Indian were still concidering to surrender Boston. I wished to build up pressure on India to surrender by starting the attack already. Now I see the errors of those ways, since India already concidered this, and more diplomacy between India and America could have prevented blood to be spilled.

I do not regret the re-capturing of Boston though.
Boston is American. It has always been American. Of course much indians live in the city now. Though these indians have been imported since the Indian took the city by force.
I will promise the Indians though that all indian citizen of Boston will have equal rights as the american citizen. All these citizen are free to leave Boston and return to Boston. Their family can always visit the city. In fact I wish to open the borders of Boston, and all the American territories, to indian citizen.

Peter, may I ask you to set up a proposal for peace between India and America? Thanks for your help.

Friendly greetings,

Robert LXVII
