The Kingdom of Poland extends their sincere condolences to the Vatican. We mourn the death of Pope Clement XIV, and send our best wishes and prayers to the Vatican in their time of need.

King Sigismund is gravely concerned regarding the potential safety of the Conclave, and echoes Austrian concerns regarding the selection of a safe location with historical precedent. Poland harshly condemns any attempts to manipulate the outcome of the Conclave, and will instruct the Cardinal of Krakow to follow directives from Vienna regarding the location and manner of the Conclave.

Poland shall mobilize a small detachment of peacekeepers in case the French compromise proposal comes to pass, and stands ready and willing to assist as needed to ensure the Conclave is a peaceful process respecting the rule of law and Papal customs.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

The Holy Union of Spain would support the compromise solution proposed by the Kingdom of France as a way to respect ecumenical precedent and guarantee the integrity of the selection of the next Vicar of Christ.

The Empire of the Mexicans supports the compromise solution proposed by the Kingdom of France. Additionally, we want to express our deepest condolences to the Vatican.

On the Papal Conclave

“The Kingdom of France is pleased to announce that after extensive talks, an agreement has been reached with respect to the Papal conclave.  The Habsburg Empire has agreed to allow a small international peacekeeping force to guarantee the security and integrity of the conclave, as well as to ensure delegations are not prevented from attending the conclave.  We would also like to thank the Divine Republic of Brazil for mediating these talks.

Given the Habsburg Empire’s consent to the French proposal to ensure the integrity and legitimacy of the Papal conclave, the Kingdom of France no longer objects to holding the conclave in Konstanz and will send its Cardinals to attend the conclave with detailed instructions.  We will also be sending a small peacekeeping force comparable in size to those sent by other nations to accompany/guard the French Cardinals on their journey and to - along with the Polish peacekeeping force and those from any other state wishing to send a small peacekeeping force - help ensure the conclave is a free and fair election.  

As the latest attempt by the church-burning Chinese to sow division and discord within the Church has shown, enemies of the Faith will take any opportunity to exploit even the slightest crack in the unity of the Church for nothing - not even as somber an occasion as this - is sacred to such wicked creatures.  To those most black and infamous of fiends, we reply that Christendom shall not let the Godless spill their poison into Catholic ears like the serpent in the Garden of Eden.  There is nothing enemies of the Faith at home or abroad fear half so much as the Church united.” - The French Foreign Ministry

[Kuumo]

The Holy Republic of Gran Colombia will send a peacekeeping force to the Papal Conclave comparable in size to the French and Polish peacekeeping forces.

Memo of the Office of the Foreign Minister of the Russian Republic M. A. Suvorin


The Foreign Ministry of the Russian Republic clarifies, in response to queries on the subject, that the location of the Papal Conclave is of no concern to the government of the Republic, nor are internal matters of the Roman church. The government is however, gladdened by news that peace will prevail in Europe, and commends the good sense of the state actors involved.

[Lumine]

Her Imperial Majesty is relieved at the news of the compromise regarding the Konstanz Conclave, and will be pleased to confirm the attendance of Cardinals Fabre, Kain and Chappelle.

A select company of the Imperial Guard will escort Cardinal Fabre - and provide security for the Louisianan cardinals should New Orleans not dispatch its own force - and provide security within the terms of the compromise.

Québec-aligned cardinals will be issued instructions to work constructively to reach a successful outcome for the Conclave.

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

It is the opinion of the Court that the current strife between the infidel nations over control over the Papacy is of no concern for us. However, we would strongly encourage the assorted gathering of the Christian ulema to heed the words of Vienna and hold this conference in the safety of the Empire in contrast to the turmoil ongoing in Italy itself.

On Domestic Reform

King Sigismund is pleased to announce a series of reforms to Poland's august system of governance. With Poland having stood at peace for thirty years under the stable hand of the Hapsburgs, the time has come for the implementation of true modern, enlightened governance. The King looks forward to inviting the people of Poland into the halls of government, and to work hand-in-glove with them to continue advancing Poland in the twentieth century. Furthermore, the King extends his best wishes to all party lists running in the upcoming election.

The 1903 Reforms

- Suffrage shall be broadened from landholding nobles to all males over the age of 25 who can pass a literacy test. Alongside the implementation of this literacy requirement, funding shall be granted to organize standardized local schooling across Poland to ensure that the Polish people are prepared to meet this requirement.

- A tiered system of local government, partially elected by the people and partially appointed by the Crown, shall be established. The tiers of jurisdictions shall be towns of considerable size, the county (powiat), the district (ziemia), and the province (województwo). Each of these local governments will have the power to manage local affairs in their jurisdiction - allocating taxes to the public good, resolving disputes, and appointing local magistrates, among other duties. Jurisdictions containing more local governments will exercise oversight over these governments - for instance, provincial government will exercise oversight over all district governments within the province's borders. This system will allow for the creation of effective local government uniquely tailored to addressing local needs, resolving issues with precision and compassion.

- A Special Commission on Boundaries, consisting of professional bureaucrats appointed by the Crown, shall formalize all provincial, district, county, and town boundaries with respect to the local government system. The Commission will be tasked with clarifying the location of boundaries where unclear and resolving boundary disputes. The Commission shall create a formal, binding map of all provinces, districts, counties, and towns by the year 1905. To complete this task, the Commission is authorized to create sub-offices across the Kingdom of Poland, and to appoint and confer with existing local officials to complete this task in a speedy and fair manner.

- The reform of the national government. Henceforth, there shall be a Senate, consisting of 100 seats, and a Sejm, consisting of 444 seats. The Senate shall be elected by nobles and landholders, and the Sejm shall be elected by the broader electorate. Acting in tandem, these bodies will have lawmaking power - should legislation pass both the Senate and Sejm with a 50% vote, it shall be transmitted to the Crown, who will have the option to exercise veto power.

- The Sejm shall elect from among its number a Prime Minister, who will then form government with consent of the Crown. Should the Prime Minister fail a No-Confidence vote (threshold 60%), the Sejm must select a new Prime Minister with royal assent. Should the incumbent Prime Minister have royal assent to do so, or should the Sejm be unable to elect a new Prime Minister, a irregular Sejm election may be called.

- The establishment of an Electoral Commission to oversee the elections process. The Electoral Commission will have the broad authority to print and distribute ballots, count results, and protect against fraud.

- The first elections, which shall be scheduled for this year, shall be conducted on the provincial level - based on population, each province shall be allocated a number of seats in the Senate and Sejm. For Sejm elections, each party list shall submit a list of candidates to the Electoral Commission, and voters will vote for their party list of choice. Each party list shall be allocated a number of seats proportional to their vote share, with a threshold of 5%.

- In future elections, which shall occur every five years, the Special Commission on Boundaries will be responsible for the drawing of Sejm constituencies within provincial borders. These constituencies should be compact, roughly equal in population and coterminous with local boundaries.

- The Law of The Parties - all candidates running for a seat in the Sejm shall be required to register with a 'party list'. All 'party lists' require significant support from members of the public, and are subject to approval by the Crown - 'party lists' deemed against the spirit of national tranquility will not be allowed to stand. Agitation for radical ideologies shall not be permitted.

On the Resolution of the Papal Crisis

King Sigismund is gladdened to hear that the conflict over the location of the next Papal Conclave has been resolved. In the face of unprecedented global turmoil and diplomatic mischief, it is important that the unity of the Catholic Church endure. As previously discussed, the King formally confirms the participation of Polish peacekeepers, as part of a Polish delegation to Konstanz, and is eager for the peaceful selection of a new Pope in line with Papal customs.

On the Baltic - Vistula Authority

The Crown is excited to announce the Baltic - Vistula authority, a joint project with the Kingdom of Scandinavia to spur economic development and cooperation in the Baltic region. An ambitious undertaking, this project would see the creation of a grand, multinational Baltic port that will unite the region and serve as a cultural and economic gateway to Poland and Central Europe. This project would create a closely-interconnected port network, uniting Scandinavian Danzig, Polish Gdynia and Mikoszewo, and should Prussia prove interested in the project, Prussian Elblag. Upon completion, the Baltic - Vistula authority will spur greatly increased trade across the region, represent a massive step for all nations involved towards economic and technological process, and solidify the Baltic brotherhood of Scandinavia, Poland, and (possibly) Prussia.

The following projects shall occur under the Baltic - Vistula Authority:

- Construction of a high-capacity rail network with standardized rail gauge, linking Gdynia, Sopot, Danzig, Mikoszewo, and (possibly) Elblag with both passenger and container rail. These will be interlinked to domestic Polish [and Prussian] lines to provide further economic connections.

- Expedited customs access, and possibly lower duties, for trade and goods transport between cities within the Baltic-Vistula Authority.

- Construction of widened shipping passages along the Martwa Visla to increase shipping capacity between Danzig and the Vistula.

- Significant expansion of port facilities in Gdynia. Upgrade of existing port facilities

- The creation of a formal advisory body for the Baltic-Vistula Authority with limited power and oversight over trade in the region. It shall consist of appointees by the Crowns of participating nations.

In tandem with the Baltic-Vistula projects, the Crown formally calls for the expansion of rail lines linking Gdynia and Mikoszewo to the remainder of Poland, and for the expansion of port facilities in Warsaw to accommodate increased trade along the Vistula River. In particular, upgrades of the Gdynia/Mikoszewo-Bydgoszcz-Torun/Plock-Warsaw corridors, as well as connections to Lodz onward to Krakow and southern Poland, shall be prioritized, with the eventual goal of frequent passenger and cargo service.
