To Sir Rudolf Deubel of the Hanseatic League,
I delight in receiving the message from your diplomats regarding an alliance with England. My government admires the achievement of great prosperity in the great Hanseatic cities without the rise of anarchist power. It is in both of our interests to strike an alliance.
Firstly, I have been informed by my loyal Duke of Northumberland that Hanseatic shipping has been frequenting the great English city of the north, Newcastle upon Tyne. While I value such trade, it also appears that Hanseatic tradesmen have often abused the law of the city and have undermined English trade and shipping enterprises there. As a prerequisite to any alliance, we must come to an agreement over trade and the respect of our respective sovereignties. In particular, agricultural products imported by Hanseatic shipping from colonies will be taxed more heavily, due to cheap imports undermining the agriculture of England.
Secondly, as two great naval powers of the North Sea, it is in our interests to form an alliance. Therefore I propose: any war declared by a third power on the Hanseatic League or the Kingdom of England that is one of aggression and involves naval warfare, shall be met by help and a declaration of war against the aggressor from the second power of this agreement. I trust that this agreement shall serve as a powerful deterrent to any aggressor in the North Sea. Furthermore, both our states shall commit to not entering any agreement with a third power that undermines this agreement.
May our two states be blessed by G-d Himself in our efforts for peace,
King John Edward II, King of England

To His Highness, Rurik IV, Grand Prince of Novgorod,
I am writing your Highness today in the name of my Lord, Emperor Leopold I, to express the Holy Roman Empire's most sincere desire to have more friendly relations with the Republic of Novgorod. We think that both our countries can profit from a mutual agreement, and that in the situation of the world today, our two nations would better work together against a common foe.. as they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
The Holy Roman Empire would like to send an ambassador to Novgorod, and we will send John Charles of Wittelsbach, Count Palatine of Birkenfeld at Gelnhausen, my younger brother. He will be invested with all the necessary powers to discuss the necessary agreements with Novgorod, and a Novgorodian ambassador would be more than welcome at the Imperial Court of Vienna. We hope that this will lead to good relations between the Holy Roman Empire and the Republic of Novgorod.
Signed,
Ferdinand Maria of Wittelsbach, Duke of Bavaria, Chancellor of the Holy Roman Empire, in the name of,
His Imperial Highness, Leopold I, by the grace of God chosen Holy Roman Emperor, forever August, King of Germany, King of Bohemia, Croatia, Slavonia, Rama,Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, Brabant, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, Margrave of Moravia, Duke of Luxemburg, of the Higher and Lower Silesia, of Württemberg and Teck, Prince of Swabia, Count of Habsburg, Tyrol, Kyburg and Goritia, Landgrave of Alsace, Marquess of the Holy Roman Empire, Burgovia, the Enns, the Higher and Lower Lusace, Lord of the Marquisate of Slavonia, etc. etc.

To His Highness, Duke Giovanni Sforza VII of Milano
Your Highness, I am writing this message today in the name of my Lord, Emperor Leopold I. I would like to express the full desire of the Holy Roman Empire to have more friendly relations with the Duchy of Milan. As you know, the times when the Holy Roman Empire was attempting to establish its dominance over Italy are long gone, and this is all in the past. I think that both of our nations would benefit for mutual agreements, especially since Venice is a threatening presence for both of our nations.
The Holy Roman Empire would like to send Joseph Clemens of Bavaria as our envoy and ambassador to Milan, in order to serve as the Emperor's representative at any discussions that might be held. The Holy Roman Empire would like to propose a trade agreement, and at least a non-agression pact, although that will have to be discussed. We hope that this will lead to better relations between the Grand Duchy of Milan and Genoa and the Holy Roman Empire.
Signed,

I, Grand Prince Rurik IV of the Novgorod Republic, reply to you today to say I believe your offer is great one, one which cannot be passed up! There is a mighty and evil menace that exists in Europe, one which won't remain peaceful for long, and we ally against them if we are to come out of this the victors. Your ambassador will be welcomed with open arms here in Novgorod, and when I find a spare moment in the war I wage I will organize for an ambassador to take up residence in Vienna. Perhaps my brother, or another respected member of our elite.
Yours sincerely,
Rurik IV, Grand Prince of the Novgorod Republic, blessed and adored by God, chosen leader of the Novgorodian people, champion and defender of the Novgorodian church, King of Sweden and the Swedes, Grand Duke of Finland, Lord of the Baltic, Commander of the Novgorodian Army and Naval Forces

To His Imperial Majesty Emperor Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor of the German Nation
and to His Imperial Chancellor, His Highness Duke Ferdinand Maria of Wittelsbach,
I look upon the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, and the Habsburg Emperor's place in it, as central to Europe and her prosperity. The Kingdom of England shall continue to support the Empire throughout our affairs, as befits the central monarchy of Christendom upon which all other monarchies rest.
It is with this state of mind that I wish to implore yourself and the Imperial Court of Vienna regarding a justice to be done to myself and my monarchy. The late Duke of Lorraine, Nicholas Francis, has left behind no male issue to succeed him in the normal fashion. As has been established in the Testament of Duke René II in the 15th century, only through male lineage could the true Dukes of Lorraine succeed. However, it is also true that Duke Charles IV succeeded through his wife Nicole from his father-in-law, Duke Henry II. Likewise, the late Nicholas Francis' daughter Marie Anne was married to the King of England, Edward VII, my father.
I have thus been led to rightfully believe that the Duchy of Lorraine shall now be passed to me, and my House of Lancaster, to succeed Duke Nicholas Francis. I trust in the integrity and understanding of yourself and your monarchy to ensure that this succession is allowed and carried out to the full. I shall be sending a delegation to Vienna consisting of the Ducal representation, who shall proceed to govern the Duchy of Lorraine in my name through the established States-General; they will first proceed to Vienna to represent myself to your Imperial Majesty and to receive the Imperial blessing for their mission.
Westminster has received the German ambassador, Duke Maximilian Philipp Hieronymus of Bavaria-Leuchtenberg, with great warmth and gratitude. We shall reciprocate by sending an English ambassadorial team to Vienna, headed by the trustworthy Baron Edmund David of Wirral, to represent the Kingdom before your great Imperial Majesty. In addition, the Earl George William of Devonshire (who is of Franconian origins) shall come to Vienna to represent the Duchy of Lorraine in the Reichsrat.
May the relationship between the Empire and the Kingdom of England remain strong and supportive for the whole of Christendom!
King John Edward II of Lancaster, King of England, Duke of Lorraine

2. Establishment of a trade route between the Shi and the Goths.
3. A promise and commitment of new of no hostile aggression or action to be taken by the Goth against the Shi or the Shi against the Goth.

The Emperor's Letter:
[i]To His Holiness,
I know this letter comes to you in great inconvenience, but nonetheless it is of the utmost importance and I expect it to be treated as such. We are two kingdoms who have lived in tranquil peace for generation and beyond. I only wish to see this continue. The Tibetans have proved great allies to China in both times of war and peace, but know that now as a new dawn arises over the horizon this peace threatens to break. I must ask that you let Chinese troops and officials into your nation for the protection of both our securities. Should you accept peace shall be maintained, your way of life protected, and your culture kept prosperous. Should you decline and you will find your denial the greatest detriment to any lasting peace between our two kingdoms. I implore you to think and choose wisely.
-Emperor Shi Chen
