Propositions and Requests[]

Request 1:

Spain: We ask for further aid in our war against the British. The British have many allies in the world and we require help in order to win the war.

Proposition 1- Irrelevant Naples: We should offer to buy Philippines from New Spain.Likenhaufen (talk) 00:06, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

  • Spain: I believe that would be a great idea. 74.133.133.190 00:11, July 26, 2013 (UTC)
  • Russian Empire: Sure. Eronoc (talk) 00:13, July 26, 2013 (UTC)
  • Russian Empire: How much should we pay?
  • Just saying of the Nations in your organization only one of them has an economy to support buying the Philippines.. and Considering its Spain who just lost a war over the independence of their colonies you guys would be hard pressed for funds to buy the Philippines (just so you know im a Mod so it's my job to keep this plausible) Feudalplague (talk) 00:26, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Proposition 2- Resolved
'Russia': We need a way to speed up trade. Also, food would be appreciated.

Germany: We are currently busy with our colonization efforts and possible conflict with Austria due to our Rivalry, However for certain funding we will grow food for Russia to a certain extent

Russia: We are grateful.

Proposition 3- Resolved

Japan: Requesting guns from fellow members.

Russia: Sending in shipments of firearms.

Naples: Doing the same.

Proposition 4-

Naples: We should begin work on a trans-continental railway to enhance communication and commerce between our nations.

Russia: We fully agree.

Proposition 5:

Naples: We ask that the nations of this organization at least aid Spain in the war against the British, as Britain wishes to take away their resources, which will weaken this organization.

Russia: Agree.

German Empire: We agree however for the time being we remain decisively neutral in an attempt to Surprise the French on their home soil, We have Europe's Greatest land Army and could easily rob the British of a major ally, If it Comes to this we Ask the Russians to deploy Military force in support of Germany, The campaign however will not to claim much territory at all, more like securing key areas to prevent the French from assisting the British. 

Russia: If Germany decides to join the war, will will aid them in a campaign of such a nature.

China: We will gladly support Spain, but since our troops are still not up to par we can't send any. But, will gladly sent shipments of gunpowder and our rocket artillery.

Spain: We are gracious of your support.

Swedish Application- (on hold due to their current alignment)

Should the EWFTO nations aid the AU or the CSA? 

  • CSA:
  • AU: Germany, Naples, China


Russia: I believe we should base this on who has the most resources they could trade to us.

Naples: Agreed.

AU: the CSA is nothing but a breadbasket. we have crops too, AND a better industry and metals. We are doing this after their continuous threats and claims on our territory.

Naples: We should hold voting on this until the CSA makes their case as well, as they have requested most of the member nations for aid as well, though we are considering what the AU has said.

China: We agree with Naples on this. 

Naples: Seeing as we ought not go to war with Germany, we should probably back the AU if we back anyone at all.

German Empire: Seeing as it's illegal by our rules and I maintain Europe's best land forces I'd have to agree with the AU being the choice.

Put sanctions on Britain and France-

  • Naples: Yes.
  • China: Yes.
