The Treaty of Paris Summary

The Treaty of Paris (German: Vertrag von Paris) is a draft treaty between the nations of Austria and the Swiss Confederation, secretly drawn up to divide France between them in the event of a succesful invasion, and to stipulate rules of governance and future relations once Swiss France and Austrian France have been established.

Article 1: Territory Divisions

The two nations will have a defined border between so-called "Austrian France" and "Swiss France". The region of Occitania (Southern France) shall be conferred to Swiss governance, with a population of around 10 million, whilst Northern France, with a population of around 27 million shall be conferred to Austria. The new Swiss border will begin at Royan on the West coastline, stretching down to Libourne (near Bordeaux), then up once more to Bellac. From here the border passes through Clermont-Ferrand, Lyon and Annecy until it reaches the Swiss border at Lake Geneva. This is a landmass slightly larger than Occitania as it means it will link up with Switzerland through the Savoy region. All area above this border up to the existing Northern French border will be Austrian.

The new capitals will be:

Austria:
Swiss Confederacy: Lyon

The African colony of Gabon (Pop:300,000 approx.) and the Ivory Coast (Pop:5,000,000 approx.) will become Swiss territory. Austria will receive governance of all other French colonies, including French Algeria, amongst many others. Protectorates obviously will have the choice of establishing a similar relationship with Austria or Switzerland.

Article 2: Territory Distribution to Allies

In return for logistical and military support, Italy shall receive the island of Corsica and an Italian quarter in the port of Nice, Swiss France, shall be constructed. Italian commerce will be tax-free in the town, and all Italian ships will be excluded from mooring fees, although custom searches may take place to stop illegal goods entering the port. The Italian quarter shall be governed by Italian laws and will have space for up to 5,000 permanent inhabitants.

If the British Raj or Britain decides to send support, a similar arrangement will be made in Calais, allowing British trade to cross the channel efficiently and cost effectively.
