This should be fun but I'm sorta getting this world war vibe from the situation regarding Poland. Certainly you two realize that the combined forces of Italy,the Bourbons and Austro-Germany would sweep the floor with you so fast you couldn't even say "Treaty of Versailles" (of course with this being the 18th century and the size of such size being on par, if not larger than WWI it would only be fair to assume that the terms of a surrender would be about 20x more crippling than the actual treaty of Versailles).
Just some food for thought before we advance.
It doesn't make any sense for them to get involved, though.
This is one of my biggest hatreds of NS RPing; dogpiling. If this were the real world, none of those nations would want to even get involved in Poland. The Bourbons risk having some of their most fertile lands in France being ravaged by the Prussian army, Austro-Germany risks loosing the support of Pro-Prussians in it's nation (which, I'd imagine, would be a large amount of people) and Venice just doesn't have any reason to go to war. The only thing I can think of is if they were to claim that they're fighting for the faith, which even then is incorrect considering that Prussia is basically secular, but is Lutheran, and Russia is Orthodox. While they could claim to be fighting heretics, they risk having social unrest in Lutheran/Calvinist areas (of which, by the way, there are everywhere).
There is a reason why, IOTL, Poland-Lithuania was eaten by Prussia, Russia and Austria. That reason is, and I'm oversimplifying a bit but eh, governments don't jump for the chance to go to war unless it benefits them. War with two of the most powerful nations in Europe doesn't benefit anyone.
Just some "food for thought" before we advance.
Not sure what happened in those other 3-4 pages of OOC I don't bother reading, but no. This is the 17th hundreds dear. Coalitions and dogpile was how war was done at this time, believe it or not. Now, the Bourbons do put themselves at risk, but, I have formed a giant coalition of states to combat Prussia from gaining more influence in Europe. It's too strong, and many of your border states don't want you strong. I've weaved a web, quite quickly if I may say, to combat this. Sucks to suck, but did you see the War of the Spanish Sucession? Literally everyone against France and part of Spain. Now, it's the reverse *insert bitch head nod.* If Prussia tries to expand it's influence, it's gonna be a major war. Attacking Poland, an Austria Protectorate, brings in the Austria bringing in me, and with support from Venice cause you know, alliances. You put yourself in a bad place and I weaved a coalition to prevent you from becoming stronger. There are benefits to every nation to attack you, and I'm ready :3
