His Majesty Speaks!

King Philip celebrates the onset of peace,
Pays tribute to his late father King Henry and his predecessors,
in a speech widely distributed among citizens

Citoyens,

Through the history of the Kingdom of Québec, we have been blessed with the example of dutiful, brilliant and patriotic monarchs, who have fought long and hard for the best interests of the people and the nation, and helped it fulfill its glorious, manifest destiny.

The first of them was Henry, our great grandfather. At a time in which our fledging new nation needed recognition, he dared to sail across the Atlantic with help for Québec, and worked hard alongside Vaudreuil to consolidate the independent, sovereign Québec.

The second was Louis Henry, our grandfather. When Québec was ready to take in place in North America, he helped lead our nation across the west, taking our borders into the Pacific, creating the ancestral alliance with Louisiana, and successfully fending off the British and Spanish empires.

The third, the man to whom we recently said farewell, was Henry II, our father. Raised in a tradition of duty, he saw it as his obligation to help Québec secure its place in the world. This he did. He presided over the growing industrialization of the nation, acquired vast new territories and, for the better part of four years, he led us into war and showed that this young nation can fight as hard as any of the grand old nations of Europe.

It will be inevitable that some will want to discuss his infamous assassins, that deranged, unstable man who committed a heinous crime that can only be characterized as parricide. We shall not deign speak his name. What assassins crave the most is recognition, and we, like the Romans, should consign his memory to oblivion and non-existence, like the worst of the Roman criminals, so that this man may not rewarded his desperate search for attention. Let such a fate befall all assassins, so they may not extract the slightest satisfaction from their infamous acts.

Let us instead remember Henry, our late King, the sacred martyr who, like Moses, led his people to the land of prosperity, but was taken from those who loved him before he could enter it. Let us cherish his memory and sacrifice, and never forget his life and that of the brave Quebécois soldiers who gave they very lives for the people and the nation.

Citoyens, Peace is now at hand. The war is over at last. Québec has proved itself a fearsome naval and land power, capable of stomaching a long blockade with unflinching resolve, of innovating in the field of battle, and of pursuing a common goal in unity. The peace settlement, arduously negotiated between the Allies and the British Union with the helpful assistance of the Russian Republic, guarantees peace in the North American continent and extends our borders, while at the same time ensuring our way of life is preserved and not compromised by the sudden influx of millions of new subjects and citizens with a different language and religion.

Now it is time to make full use of this newfound peace. The best way to honor our late King, our troops, and our own collective sacrifices over the span of the last five years is to return to our fields, our shops, our businesses and our families, to work hard, and to enjoy the fruits of prosperity and tranquility. Let us walk, confidently and in unison, towards the future that awaits us.

Let us cross into the Promised Land, and let us build a New and Symbolic Jerusalem, together.

Vive le Québec!

Proclamations and Statements from His Majesty

Concerning the end of the War

His Majesty is pleased to confirm that after extensive negotiations, a final peace settlement has been reached between the Allies and the British Union. The settlement, which enables a dignified peace, takes steps to prevent further conflict, and ensures reasonable Quebécois expansion in the West without raising a major demographic dilemma, is welcome news. Though no outcome of a war is ever perfect, these five years of war end come to a successful end that ought to enable our nation to rapidly move forward into prosperity, and not be submerged for many more years still dealing with post-war difficulties of all kinds. His Majesty is therefore pleased to announce the following:

Québécois Orde du Mérite:
-The Orde du Mérite is hereby granted to His Excellency Aleksey Suvorin, President of All the Russians, for his assistance mediating an end to the American War.

Cartier Plan:
-With the end of hostilities, the Cartier Plan will be phased down at the earliest possible eventuality. This involves the following:

-The Québec War Board is hereby dissolved. It will be replaced with the civilian ministries of War and Navy, as well as the professional General Staff and Admiralty.

-With the end of the blockade, rationing restrictions on imported goods will be eliminated as soon as availability of stocks allows.

-Quebécois industry will start working to shift itself from the war effort back into civilian production with the assistance of the state. Industries that chose to maintain the production of war goods, including supplies, weapons and ammunition, will be granted export licenses at the discretion of the Foreign Ministry.

-Measures granting citizenship upon military service will be maintained.

QUEBEC CONSTITUTION OF 1876

PREAMBLE: It was one of the late King Henry’s concerns that his beloved country lacked a written, organized Constitution, relying instead on a long list of decrees written in the span of nine decades. His Majesty, King Philip I, has taken up a cause entrusted to him by the martyr King on his deathbed, and, encouraged by the example set by countries like the Kingdom of Naples and the Kingdom of Mexico, he has decided to give Québec a constitution. After consultations with Prime Minister Cartier, the Government, and the main political parties represented in parliament, and upon combining an initial constitutional draft with useful suggestions by said parties, His Majesty is pleased to present the Constitution of 1876 to the nation.

In the span of only five to six years, our nation has grown immensely, with the acquisition of Lapérouse, Nouvelle-Écosse, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, and now the conquest of Nouvelle-Cornouailles and Illinois. It is our belief that the present framework of the nation is insufficient, and thus we declare, contained within this Constitution, the formal establishment of the Empire of Québec. His Majesty is hereby to be known as His Imperial Majesty, Philip I, Emperor and Defender of Québec. It is our hope that this Constitution, which enshrines a constitutional Empire based on the principles of good government, the reward of merit, and the basic liberties of the people, will help guide the nation into prosperity.

Proclamations and Statements from His Imperial Majesty

On the new territories

With the recent signing of the Treaty of Albany and the formal annexation of new territories within the Empire, it is the will of His Imperial Majesty that the following measures be enacted or pursued to facilitate the transition:

-As established in the Constitution, Nouvelle-Cornouailles (also known as New Cornwall) Illinois are to be considered provinces of the Empire. Although the state religion of the Empire is the Apostolic Roman Catholic faith, the Constitution will guarantee public worship of the Protestant faiths. There shall be, as established by the Constitution and the Treaty of Albany, equality before the law. Though firm in our faith and our convictions, our Protestant subjects and citizens will not face any discrimination whatsoever.

-In order to establish firm settlement and development of Illinois, His Imperial Majesty orders the establishment and construction of two major new cities: St. Martin, at what is now the Quebécois point of entry into the Mississippi River (on the opposite site of OTL St. Louis); and Henriville, near the shore of Lake Michigan (in OTL Chicago). Both shall serve as points of trade and internal navigation.

-As the Quebécois Army complies with the Treaty of Albany and withdraws from all occupied areas, residents who supported the provisional Quebécois administration and/or war effort who wish to reside within the Empire will be allowed and supported to migrate into Illinois. There shall be generous land grants and/or jobs in the newly established cities to immediately support them.

-With the onset of peace, and with the already mentioned territories now part of the Empire of Québec, we warn militias, particularly those operating out of Green Bay, that any further resistance is both futile and counterproductive. There shall be a period of grace allowing militiamen to return to their homes, and/or to migrate into British territory if they so desire. If, by the completion of this period, there are still militia units disturbing the peace, appropriate action shall be taken.

Proclamations and Statements from His Imperial Majesty

On the European Continent

The Empire of Québec celebrates the recent diplomatic arrangements putting an end to a number of ongoing military conflicts within the European continent, and is pleased to end immediate diplomatic recognition to a number of new states formed as a result of said arrangements.

The Kingdom of Trebizond, the Principality of Albania, the Kingdom of Illyria, the Republic of Georgia, and the Kingdom of Egypt, are all extended immediate diplomatic recognition, and diplomatic envoys will be sent from Montréal in the hopes of establishing a formal and positive relationship. With the end of the blockade, envoys will be sent to the other Balkan realms who have recently gained independence, including the Kingdoms of Serbia, Romania, Greece and Bulgaria.

His Imperial Majesty, though a strictly neutral party to the still ongoing conflicts in Europe, celebrates the potential end of the French civil war and extends formal recognition to Her Majesty Queen Charlotte and her Regency as the sole formal representative of the Kingdom of France. His Majesty also wishes to express his gratitute towards His Majesty Charles VIII, King of Naples, for his friendship and sympathy demonstrated during the darkest moments of the American War. Despite his steadfast neutrality, it is the hope of His Imperial Majesty that a diplomatic solution may also be found to this conflict, and that the aspirations of millions of Italians of having a single nation of their own may not go unheeded.

Empire of Québec

Proclamations and Statements from His Imperial Majesty

On Diplomatic matters

His Imperial Majesty formally extends its gratitude to the Kingdom of Naples for swift diplomatic recognition of the new constitutional status of the Québécois Nation, and reiterates as well its previous and unconditional recognition of Queen Regent Charlotte as the legitimate political and diplomatic representative of the Kingdom of France.

On the matter of Immigration

It is the belief of His Imperial Majesty and that of the government that, with an end to the blockade and armed conflict, it is in the best interests of the Empire to take action to ensure the issue of immigration is addressed promptly and efficiently. Our efforts during our first century of independence have yielded enormous territorial expansion with them, as well as the resources to sustain a population far, far higher that what we currently have. It is ultimately clear that, in order to unlock and unleash the full potential hidden within the Empire, its vast natural resources must be utilized to its fullest, and its fields and farms properly tended to.

Thus, it is our pleasure to confirm the recent passage of the Immigration Act of 1876, which, among other provisions, creates a Québec Immigration Office, mandates the creation of clear and well-guarded records of arriving migrants, the construction of a special port of arrival in Québec City for their proper screening, a hierarchy of immigrant groups according to their potential for rapid assimilation within Québécois society (particularly targeting francophone individuals or families), and a scheme for granting farmable land according to previous legislation, as well as the rapid redeployment of arriving immigrants into the provinces so as to prevent urban overcrowding.

The Frontier Plan - An offer of Asylum and Settlement

Although the position of the Empire of Québec regarding past and ongoing military conflicts within the European continent is one of steadfast neutrality, His Imperial Majesty nonetheless shares the humanitarian concern expressed by other monarchs surrounding the present situation of certain nations or ethnic groups. In particular, the fate of millions of Dutch and Prussian refugees currently facing famine or seeking a new home amidst grim economic conditions, even in nations less damaged by warfare.

Therefore, and taking advantage of the Immigration Act 1876, the Empire of Québec is prepared to offer humanitarian asylum to families displaced by warfare or famine within Western and Central Europe, as well as to provide for their settlement, facilitate their integration into Québécois society, and offer them a chance to start anew free from their present state. As this unprecedented effort will be geared towards the population, settlement and development of the Québécois frontier, it shall be known as the Frontier Plan, calling for the following:

-Conditional and large scale-asylum to Dutch and Prussian families who desire a new life or are in need of a new home, and are willing to abandon Europe to start anew in the New World. The same offer is also extended to civilians in areas ravaged by warfare or famine in Western Europe, provided their emigration to the Empire does not in any way trespass on domestic legislation or controls already imposed by any sovereign nation.

-Individuals with a previous criminal record, Catholic Republicans, and known political agitators will be excluded from the effort.

-Asylum offices and committees will be set up with the assistance of Québécois diplomatic personnel, former migrants within Québec who can help coordinate the emigration of their kin, and/or private citizens entirely uninvolved with any military effort within the European continent.

-Private and non-military vessels will be hired or commissioned to facilitate the transport of refugees across the Atlantic and into the entry port to Québec City, provided such transport does not hinder or intervene in the war effort of sovereign nations.

-Following successful screening by the Immigration Office, migrants will provided with plots of land as per the Québec Lands Act, as well as sufficient financial assistance to start their own farms and build their own homes. French-speaking migrants will be provided higher benefits.

-Transport will be provided via railway to the provinces, and the Pacific Gendarmerie shall see to the proper establishment and maintenance of order in new settlements.

-The Imperial government will commit to ensuring the availability of schools and/or other necessary educational efforts for migrants, to promote rapid integration through the teaching of the French language, as well as Québécois history and cultural tradition.
