Austria-Hungary

The British refusal to reply to our envoy has led to a complete retreat of Austria from European battles. Prussia is quite angry at us for not helping them against Denmark and Schleswig, while the more militaristic among our own population demand the abdication of Franz-Joseph.
Meanwhile the African colony, Franz-Joseph-Land, has been consolidated. The capital Daressalam is being build European-style, and goulash restaurants are appearing wherever a free spot is to find. Local natives are treated friendly, as A-H has abolished slavery several years ago.
The colonial militia is being recruited out of the native manpower, but itīs equipped with latest European weaponry.
A Saxonian rail corporation (Chemnitzer Eisenbahnwerke) has got the state contract to build a railroad network in the colony that is slightly larger than Austria-Hungary itself.
Austria-Hungary to Mexico
Our heavy metal industry ( oh please... ) would be glad to export its products to your great country. Among steel and rails we also have heavy artillery and firearms to offer. What we would ask you for is a cheap supply of exotic products, like cocoa, coffee, fruit, furs and feathers.
Austria-Hungary to Great Britain
We regret to have to inform you of a change in our politics towards you. Because of you ignoring our envoys the Schleswig war had to be fought by Prussia alone, so now they claim all of northern Germany for themselves. Such a strong Prussia is definately not in your interest, and led by a warmongerer like Wilhelm, it also isnīt in ours.
Part of this new policy is a more aggressive colonialization program, especially in Africa.
