Erm... do we have any rules of diplomacy in this game?
I'm a bit rusty on this game, so I have a few concerned questions:
-Are government change allowed?
-Are tech by conquest possible?
-Can jesuits steal techs?
I can see that we, Mortenius II, who has recently inherited the throne of the Empire, are allied with Spain, and we heartily welcome this alliance and wish that our joined efforts will help reunite the German Nation.
However, we feel very strongly against the unrightful protestant and nordic intrusions into the realm of our lands. If the protestants do not retreat and oblige to our demands of complete sovereignty, we will have no choice but to issue a declaration of war, effective by this date.
Game sent on.

In the month of April of 1619, I must decree that the Danes have moved!
Christian wishes that these battles in the fields of all our lands to cease! Life is too precious than to be thrown to the lions as if in some kind of Gladiator's arena. Denmark does not want to war with any nation, and would like to see to it that the Kings and Rulers of Europe hear this.
Peace in our lands, Peace in our times!
Scrolls of Time have been passed via courrier to Poland. We shall leave a manuscript here as well...

We,
His Majesty Sigismund III, by the Grace of the Lord High King of Poland and rightful Heir to the Wasa Throne of Sweden , Grand Duke of Lithuania and rightful Grand Duke of Finland , Duke of the Ukraine, also Lord of Courland and Livonia,
have been reached by News of the fall of the Imperial City of Olomouc to the Bohemian Calvinists. We wish to declare Our Sympathy with the Holy Roman Emperor in these hard times for his land.
However, other Matters have concerned Us more the last Month. We must inform Ye all that Our peaceful Nation last Month unrightfully was invaded by the forces of the Heretic Scoundrel, Our Cousin Gustaf Adolf, Duke of Södermanland.
The defenceless and peaceful Livonian Cities of Dorpat and Ermes were overrun by the forces of Gustaf Adolf, the treacherous, murderous Menace of the North. 
However, the Duke's Armies were checked in their attack on Riga,
causing severe losses to the invading Aggressor. 
One of the pathetic Casus Belli the Duke of Södermanland presented, was the Polish reconstruction of the Road System in Livonia. As any Man of Honour on a European Throne would know, a Nation is entitled to redirect and construct Roads within its own Borders - without asking its Neighbours for Permission.
Our Nation posed no Threat to the Swedish Possessions, nay, We even let the Cities bordering to Swedish Estonia be thinly garrisoned to let the Swedes understand they had nothing to fear from Our Nation.
We, High King Sigismund III, are confident that the People of Sweden understood this. However, they were misled by the Usurper and Warmonger Gustaf Adolf.
Even more to the Surprise of both Us and the Council of the Sejm were the News of the Declaration of War from the so-called "Wise" King Friedrich V of the Protestants, only Weeks after Our Friendly and Brotherly Visit to the Protestant Court with mutual Promises of Eternal Peace and Cooperation between our two Civilized Nations.
Our Brother Friedrich V has committed a Treason most Foul.
A Man without Honour is no Man, as any civilized Being knows...
The Treason in the North forced Us to redeploy Our forces victoriously fighting the Ottomans, to the northern Theatre. This led to a most tragic Ottoman counteroffensive, in which the Garrison of the Ukrainean City of Balta was defeated. It is feared that the City will fall to the Heathen Hordes next Month.
However, on the western Front of the Ottoman attack, were the most forces were deployed, Our mighty forces won yet another major Victory over the Infidels.
This Month, We personally led Our Brave and Victorious Army in a counteroffensive against the Duke of Södermanland and his lot:
A Light Cannon Regiment was crushed by naval bombardment, thus routing the Swedish Forces besieging Riga.
Following this collapse of Swedish Morale, We led the Army of the Rzeczpospolita of Poland-Lithuania in an offensive into Our enemy-held Province of Livonia.
The strong Swedish Garrison in the Town of Ermes was taken by storm, and entirely wiped out. The Swedish losses are estimated to be two Swedish Pikeman Regiments, one Light Cannon Regiment and four Regiments of Swedish Musketeers.
After the glorious Victory in the battle of Ermes, the Town was burned to the Ground in order to deny the Swedes vital Supplies. This happened after initiative from the Townsfolk, after which the brave Ermesians were evacuated to the mighty City of Riga.
We swear by the Name of the Heavenly Lord never to forget their Sacrifice to the Cause of the Independency of Our Realm.
By the Grace of the Lord, Our Royal Fleet thereafter won an unexpected and glorious Victory in the Gulf of Riga, sinking the Pride of the Swedish Navy, an Advanced Warship.
We will leave the treacherous Swedish Duke to bleed.
Pro Jure Et Popolo
Sigismundus Rex

Denmark is willing to moderate any talks between Poland and Sweden to end this horrific bloodshed. Copenhagen will open its doors to these two leaders, and I have sent a ship to Arensburg for the purpose of retreiving our finest exotic flora from Estonia . Hopefully, this dispute can be settled by the light of our pipes, rather then the fire of your cannons.
Hopefully yours,
Christian IV

Meanwhile, the Protestant fleet is being mobilised and has departed from its ports in the Netherlands with an unknown destination. |
When Christian IV got word of the sallying of the Dutch Fleet, with their obvious destination... he sent a courrier to the Nederlands to find out the Protestant intentions. When he heard no reply from his messanger, he was forced to issue this declaration of the Danish position.
The Jylland Decree of 1619
To All Nations Of Europe,
The Wise and Mighty Monarch of the Danes and Norwegians, Duke of Holstein, Lord of the Oldenburg House, the Great King Christian IV, has put forth a Royal Danish Decree regarding the use of Naval Vessels in her homewaters.
This Royal Decree is to reaffirm the Danish ownership of the Seas of Skagerrak, Kattegat, Bornholmsgat, and the eastmost points of the North Sea. These waters naturally belong to the Kingdom of Denmark, and she now will excercise this. However, the Danes are open to discussion to all. If nations do desire passage, they are to send a courier to Christian IV prior to the arrival of their Fleet. Tolls will then be leveed per ship with special regard to ships with cargo. Nations may then make payments directly to Christian IV in København at the Sea of Øresund. This is the only way that nations may bring Ships of the Line through these waters, with permission of the Danish King.
Bringing an unarmed Merchantship, loaded or unloaded, through these waters will get you surrounded and you will sternly be asked to leave. Bring a Warship through, regardless of cargo and no questions will be asked. Your Vessel will be sunk. There is no negotiation of this decree. With our capital being exposed to enemy fleets, this is a measure the Danes must take for our own protection in these times of continuous warfare across Europe. Our shipyards have also been given the orders to prepare for the construction of new Advanced Warships to refit the Grand Royal Fleet of Denmark. These measures are merely precautionary, and due soley to the declarations of suspect nations.
May Peace prevail in our Times...
-Christian IV.
Included is a map of the areas covered in the decree:

Emperor Mortenius II is out of bed, and sends a stark warning to the forces at his courts busy to take command and make arrangements to their personal advantage, at the cost and health of the nation, while he's been away. The legend hears it, that the moment he flew out of bed from a strong cough, he jumped a horse and galloped away swinging his sabre and trumpeting like a madman towards the city of Heidelberg, shouting towards passerby's "BEHAIL! BEHIND THESE WALLS AWAITS GLORY! FOLLLOW MEEEEE!"
There was a rise of expectation, a sudden breeze of wind, as people shouting with joy, spontanously left their fields to join the king in his one man siege of this glorious city. And when the cannons roared, a scream of thunder rose from the crowd, and women were seen using their newborn babies as weapons. Thus the city of Heidelberg fell to the victorious army of the Imperium. And a thousand Nymph Angels flew down from heaven, and carried the king over the city walls, to be reinstated as sovereign of these parts, once again.

Christian IV regrets to inform the rulers of Europe of just what happens when you violate his word...
In this month, May of 1619, a Warship flying the colours of Poland-Lithuania was spotted in the sea of Bornholmsgat. This is a direct violation of the Jylland Decree of 1619.
quote:
Originally posted in the Jylland Decree of 1619
Bring a Warship through, regardless of cargo and no questions will be asked. Your Vessel will be sunk. There is no negotiation of this decree. |
This has been proclaimed, and Poland-Lithuania had a turn to move it's vessels from the waters in question. This was not done, and no contact was made with an offer of paying for passage.
The Polish-Lithuanian vessel was promptly sunk by the Grand Royal Fleet of Denmark.
Attempts were made in full to secure the safety of those Polish-Lithuanian sailors who survived the battle. They are currently being held at Bornholm prison.
Denmark does not wish to War with either Poland nor Lithuania, and we have had codial relations in the past. These recent events are of great concern.
A state of War exisits only because it was necesary for the attack to take place. Attempts to reach the Polish-Lithuanian king via in-game ambassador proved futile. We wish to mend the relations between these two great nations. This is why we shall also be issuing a warning regarding other Polish-Lithuanian vessels that are alarmingly close to Danish possesions not covered in the Jylland Decree. We would not like to see this tragic event happen again, and we shall cooperate with the Polish-Lithuanians to regain a trustworthy relationship.
This was not an easy decision for the King of Denmark. The taking of lives is never easy...
-Chriatian IV
