Special Address to Parliament

Prime Minister, members of the cabinet, and esteemed members of the Seante and Chamber of the Deputies,

Our continent is on fire.

The action of this pretender Xavier are based in his desire to create an autocracy, with a nation built around him and him alone. Worse still, he has dragged our brothers and sisters in Padania, Genoa and Turin into his mad adventure.

I cannot, and will not stand for this.

With the power invested in me by the Constitution of 1872 as commander-in-chief of our military, I have decided to conduct a special military operation to ensure the security of our peninsula, and our Italian brothers and sisters.

I wish godspeed to our brave soldiers.

Offical Firman from the Imperial Court in Kabul

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

I, Abdul Samad Khan, Emir of the Durrani Empire, would like to welcome the new Hijri year of 1291 to all of my subjects. May the blessings of Allah rain down upon us throughout this new year. With this in mind, I would like to address a few issues of major importance.

The War in Hindustan

Word of the recent collapse of the French into a bloody civil war has reached Kabul. This news comes as no surprise to us given the recent uptick in banditry and raids, especially by the Sikhs, on our border with the French. The Imperial Court has sent emissaries to the French governors of Sindh, Multan, and Lahore to act upon these criminals. However, our mere requests have either been ignored or outright refused to be heard! Of the bandits we captured, we had found out they had been receiving support from the highest echelons of the French colonial government. As such, we are taking this as not just a border conflict with some bandits; but rather as an act of war unjustly laid upon us. As the Emir of the proud and mighty Durrani Empire, I cannot and will not tolerate this act of betrayal. As such, the Durrani Empire is now in a state of war with the French colonial government in Hindustan. With this in mind, I am ordering a total mobilization of the entire country for war. More importantly, is the declaration of Jihad by the Sheikh-al-Islam. In his address to the wartime Loya Jirga, he has called upon not just Afghans to take up arms against the French. But also the Muslims and Hindus of French Hindustan and from across the world to join and support our righteous armies in expelling the foreigners from the subcontinent. Inshallah, with the blessings of Allah, our ghazis will be victorious and we will make our namesake ancestor, Ahmed Shah Durrani, proud.

Demands for Change

At the wartime Loya Jirga convened in Kandahar, calls for reform had sprung up amongst our minority groups. Their requests are reasonable and understandable. After all, am I not the Emir of all Afghans rather than one group? As such, I am announcing that after the successful conclusion of the war, a major change in governance shall occur. The Loya Jirga shall become a permanent and integral part of the Afghan government. Its members shall comprise two members representing each tribe and people across the entire empire. Through such a measure, each and everybody will be heard and seen by the government in Kabul and have their needs and wants addressed. It shall be enacted through a "Constitution" which will be based upon the Constitution of Medina created by Rasulullah (S) rather than the ones prevalent in the West.

- Abdul Samad Khan, Emir of the Durrani Empire

Duma Election Campaign Material and Pamphlets

RUSSKIY NAROD HAPPY AGAIN

The Russian people have been beaten and humiliated by the enemies of our people. Who poisoned the well of our homeland who tore away core regions of our motherland and dealt them out to our perfidious enemies like sausages. It was the humiliation of our nation, of our people. Now, our people are strong again. The Russian peoples again farm the endless wheat fields of the Ukraine, and again the Russian tongue is heard on the docks of Sevastopol. The blood we shed for our motherland has nourished the growth of the Russian people in our future, and the sacrifices of our people will never be forgotten. Without the sacrifices of the Russian people, the peace and prosperity we enjoy today would not be possible. The Russian peasantry enjoys full bellies and profitable yields, and the Russian worker has a roof over his head and food on his plate. We live in a land where the Russian people are the master of their homeland. We vote in elections. The Austrian and the Prussian peasant live at the whims of their Prince-Sovereigns. Go to the polls, and fill our your ballots for the parties of the GOVERNMENT. The Fatherland Loyalists, the Constitutional Liberals, and the All-Russian Patriotic Front are the parties who loyally served our motherland. They have secured the peace and prosperity of the Russian people, they have the support of Our Suvorin. 

HOLY RUSSIA STRONG AGAIN

Our Suvorin spoke to the Duma, where he declared today that the alternative to freedom for the Georgian people is the total dissolution of the Osman domain. If the Turk has not learned his lesson from Kiev and Kinichev, where they were utterly destroyed, he will have to be taught a lesson again. If the Russian Army marches on Georgia, they will be greeted with bread and salt and the kisses of embraces of Christian maidens, just as they were in Ukraine and Romania. Our Suvorin declared that "with my order, the Russian Army will destroy our enemy again!" It is only with the leadership of Suvorin that Holy Russia has reclaimed our rights, and conquered our enemy. It is only with Suvorin that we will conquer again. Suvorin commands us the Russian people to vote! Fatherland Loyalist, Constitutional Liberals, and All-Russian Patriotic Front! For Holy Russia!

1874 Midturn Update

Brazil Enters the Fray
Spanish Civil War, Thought Decided, Expands Further

(Made by Me)

   Just when most observers believed the Spanish Civil War was largely decided, Brazil finally bestirred itself, mobilizing dozens of divisions and throwing them into the fray. The conflict has been flipped on its head overnight, the weakened Catholic Republicans suddenly securing substantial gains in the north and south as the Liberal Republicans find themselves surrounded.
   It was reportedly after securing assurances from Colombia and Patagonia (in order to ensure Brazil proper would be protected in South America) that Archbishop-President Manuel Joaquim da Silveira decided to act. With France divided in on itself to the north, he gambled that both the Habsburg and Neapolitan armies would be left without further reinforcements. The Brazilian forces, those proud Catholic legions, were sent across the Atlantic in two substantial fleets, each making a separate landing and commencing with military operations.
   The first army, consisting of roughly 14 divisions, disembarked at Coruna and set about restoring the situation in the north, working in concert with the existing 2 division Catholic Republican Army. The Liberal Army of Segovia found itself unable to respond at the Catholic Republicans set about reversing the losses in the north and restoring the region to their control. Valencia, Medina del Campo, and Saldana all fell in this new offensive, the Liberals regrouping. Still, the more dire news would emerge in the south.
   A far larger force was deposited on the beaches of Huelva, reigniting the war in the south in an instant. Most had thought the region fully secured after the campaigns of the previous year, so it took time for the news to spread and be believed. Taking advantage of growing confusion and panic, Seville fell within a week, Catholic Republican agents in the city helping betray the municipal government. With 30 Brazilian divisions present, the Liberals felt their roughly 29 division Army (17 Spanish, 12 Habsburg) could withstand the fight. President Serrano personally led his troops into the Battle of Carmona, in a bid to retake Seville before the Brazilians could fully establish themselves. From April 1st-4th, maneuvering and fighting raged around the city, neither side able to fully secure their objectives. After four days of fighting, the Liberals were forced to retreat back to their erstwhile capital, but the result was no triumph for the Brazilians, who were forced to regroup and pause operations while the leadership considered what to do next. Though some have argued for an offensive north from Seville, bypassing Cordoba entirely, most believe that the city must be taken before any further Catholic Republican offensives are launched in the south. Many look on with terror at the prospect of yet another engagement in the region later in the year, the dead from the Battle of Carmona not yet buried.
   Brazil’s intervention is a dare to the other European powers. With Vienna and Naples seemingly more preoccupied by the events in France, it is expected that they will acquiesce to the collapse of their Liberal Spanish allies, who suddenly find themselves on the defensive just when the end had been in sight. Meanwhile, as Nouvilas and his men see the success of their counterparts in the northwest, and with the opening of a new front in southern Spain, many also believe there will be a renewed offensive in the direction of Madrid or the Neapolitan expeditionary force from the direction of Aragon. There are now questions whether Portugal, seeing the Brazilians on the border, will reenter the fray for the Catholic-Republicans. Blood continues to flow in Spain as the conflict looks uncertain once more, one of many fires raging in a chaotic world.

War in Italy Once More
Naples Acts, Seeking to Supplant Padania

(Source: Wikimedia Commons)

   King Charles VIII saw his chance in the French chaos, electing to involve Naples and extract what he deemed to be essential concessions. Assailing Padania as an insult to the very dignity of the Italian people, and attacking Xavier as representative of the old autocratic order, an invasion was ordered. Announcing a declaration of war, Charles VIII was greeted with raucous applause, only the Catholic Republicans remaining seated as Italian nationalism surged. From Rome of Syracuse rallies were held in favor of the intervention, thousands of young men being mobilized to unite the Italian people once more. For the first time since the chaotic Italian risings 40 years ago, war has returned to Italy.
   Xavier would respond with fury. Giving a speech alongside the Dukes of Genoa and Modena, Charles VIII was branded a dynastic traitor and an opportunist, one willing to spill Italian blood for his own personal glory rather than support the true cause of justice. While this was meant for the local audience, in France Xavier has also argued that Charlotte is allowing France’s vast possessions to fall to the hands of enemies because of her mismanagement. The Padanian identity, one separate from that of Italy, has again been emphasized by the Blue government, especially in the face of growing agitation in some cities by pan-nationalists.
   Initial results would be promising for Naples, the French Blues allowing Modena to fall, seeing it as too vulnerable and difficult to defend. Instead, Xavier’s forces fell back, establishing defensive lines from the coast to Borgonovo in the Apennines. Indeed, here the relatively swift advance of the Neapolitans came to a halt, several thousand being killed by the entrenched French positions before the Neapolitan generals likewise ordered similar defensive fortifications. While they were able to beat back an attempted counter-assault by Xavier’s men, the initial prospects of a Neapolitan Turin by June has begun to seem quite remote. Mountain warfare has commenced, many noting similarities to the rough fighting occurring in far-off Ohio and New York. Yet, with the winter conditions in the mountains, some believe fighting in Italy is a far more hellish experience.
   On Corsica, the newly established government would find itself in a difficult position. Grand Duke Alexander repeatedly rebuffed attempts by Neapolitan negotiators to see the newly-independent island annexed into the Kingdom of Naples as Tuscany had been. The Grand Duke and his supporters were not the only faction on the island though, as the referendum had shown. Those who had supported joining the rest of the Italians under King Charles VIII attempted to topple the government, acting well-beyond what Naples had considered. Ajaccio was seized on the night of March 5th, a new government declared by pro-Neapolitan forces who argued that Grand Duke Alexander had been elected by fraud and named King Charles VIII as Duke of Corsica. Alexander was unable to regain control of the city and forced to flee to Corte, the Corsican nationalists mobilizing there in order to regain control of the island. With Corsica now descending into civil war between the pro-French and Neapolitan factions, the future of the Western Mediterranean has grown even more uncertain.
   On the water, Naples closed the Mediterranean to Xavier’s ships, a series of small engagements seeing the small fleet that had deserted to Xavier being forced into port. With the water clearly under the control of Neapolitan ships, and the war in the Apennines grinding to a halt, Charles VIII ordered an amphibious assault against Genoa, hoping to surround Xavier’s forces in the rear. After a solid bombardment, one which saw extensive damage to the city, a landing by Neapolitan marines was repulsed before they could even establish a beachhead. Several other landings conducted in the next few weeks would likewise prove unsuccessful, some in Naples arguing the Crown ought to invest more resources if they hoped to achieve this. Still, Xavier’s men have wised up to the development and begun to establish defensive artillery positions in Genoa and several other cities to dissuade future landings.
   Naples is now involved in the War of the Regency, potentially imperiling the uneasy three-way balance that has existed on the peninsula for decades. Arguably the division of Italy into French, Austrian, and Neapolitan spheres dates back even further, to the end of the Italian War in the 1700s. Though Xavier’s men have held their defensive line, there are many who feel like Padania could be under threat if fighting breaks out of the mountains. This has caused great angst in Vienna, the court of Emperor Charles VIII finding itself unsure of whether to cheer or condemn the invasion of Padania as rich Lombardy sits as another territory claimed by vehement pan-nationalists.

Proclamations from His Majesty

Concerning Territorial Administration

His Majesty, noting the disparity associated with current names of the Kingdom's provinces - official and unofficial - as well as the outdated nature of a few of them, will propose to Government and Parliament a Territorial Administration Act of 1874, enshrining the principles previously mandated for the administration of the Porto Rico, Hawaii and Lapérouse (previously Alaska) territories and/or provinces, as well as the new official names for the Kingdom's current territories and provinces. The proposal outlines the following names, chosen due to geographical, racial or historical meaning and criteria:

PROVINCES OF QUÉBEC:
Mainland Provinces:
-Terre Neuve
-Nouvelle-Écosse/Nova Scotia
-Acadie
-Cartier
-Grands Lacs
-Champlain
-Montcalm
-Vaudreuil
Outremer Québec:
-Hawaii
-Porto Rico/Puerto Rico

TERRITORIES OF QUÉBEC:
-Terre du Roi Henri I
-Territoires du Nord-Est
-Territoires du Nord-Ouest
-Territoires du Lapérouse

Concerning the War

His Majesty heartily and joyfully congratulates the brave generals and soldiers of the Royal Army of Québec for their stunning performances on the battlefield, proving once and for all that the soldiers of the Americas have nothing to envy to their counterparts in Europe. They have repeatedly shown courage, initiative and determination, and been rewarded for it by seizing territories as vast as Ireland and Great Britain combined. Their sacrifice has been matched by the general mobilization of society and the people of Québec itself, who have shown similar bravery in the face of the British blockade and have risen up to the occasion. Once the war has finished and the peace won, Québec shall look with pride at how it has conducted itself in the middle of this great struggle.
