Dispatch to International Community

After months of investigations into the different branches of the Romanov family, the commission has come to the conclusion that they were usurpers and that Prince Ceteramov was the rightfull héritier to the throne and he's been sworn in this afternoon in St. Petersbourg.
He is expected, as the young, dynamic lad that he is, to take a close look at the russian infrastructure, especially the transportation net and industry, as soon as the ceremony is over.

Galvatron · December 16, 2002, 06:04

I would like to be Germany.
Thank you.

Schlumpf · December 17, 2002, 17:38

Galvatron · December 17, 2002, 18:34

Hey wonderful all inhabitants of Luxembourg are in this PBEM

Oh and Ceteram thank you for the nice reminder

hope we will continue the nice tradition to remind the next one that his turn is up.

Duke Kraus von Güntner of Germany wishes every nation nice trading routes and a huge trading income. We're now heading a time full of scientifically wonders. The world is large for all of us we don't need to quarrel over it. May peace prevail in our time and let's all co-operate for the benefit for all of us.

Signed
Duke Kraus von Güntner

Galvatron · December 17, 2002, 18:45

Oh sorry forgot to tell you:

The city of Belgrade is clearly in the sphere of influence of the Austrian-Hungarian empire and we kindly ask the Russian Tsar to respect this and stay away with his troops. Any attacks on this city may be answered by an immediate declaration of war but as we're all gentlemen I think we don't need to threat each other and are able to settle such matters peacefully.

Yours truly

Ceteram · December 18, 2002, 03:17

Welcome aboard aka and Schlumpf!

Looks like everything's going fine... Yes, Galvatron, you are in the presence of a large part of our luxemburgish nation....

Even Moarc, who hasn't played yet, is a fellow Luxemburger.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Winter Palace Dispatch to German Government:

The Russian Monarch Frenz Ceteramov welcomes the german initiative to bring light into the area and spread its knowledge there. Belgrade has been known to be volksdeutsch anyways.

Nevertheless, the German Government should be aware that seeking to enlarge its young empire eastwards of Belgrade, will lead our nations to conflict.

It is rumored that he is planning a putsch.

Imperial Krasnoyarsk Enquirer
-Tzar Ceteramov seen shopping Christmas presents in downtown Novosibirsk! The national economy grows healthier.
-Annual New Years Eve "Maneuvres" held in Black Sea & Baltic areas. Operations turned sour as russian infantry was targeted by turc artillery. Read more below.
-Another stretch of the Imperial Panrussian Railway completed! Engineers were rewarded with several honorific titles.

A word from our Emperor:
The Tzar sends his regards to the worlds mighty leaders and wishes them best luck for the New Year. 1870 will be a year of change, and if we all forget to adapt to power shifts that are bound to occur, it will be bloody too.
In order to prevent these upcoming events, Rossia has declared the Black Sea off-limits (with permits for trade reasons being available through the usual channels) and extended its maneuvres to Anatolia.
Rossia spares no expenses to train its armed forces to protect its and international interests but the Kalif of Constantinople showed neither respect nor mercy. No official showed up, but our boys were fired upon by the Kalif's vetuste artillery. Although no casualties were reported, we are putting everything in place to get our sons and fathers evacuated and back home again.

Sorry for the delay. The weather is good now, the snow excellent too. Merry Christmas everybody.

Jah loves us all!

At last there is some movement in the game.

I already thought the russian Tsar had died from the excessive alcohol consumption during the X-Mas festivities in St. Petersbourg.
Apparently he can't be beaten as easily!!!
