15 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: MADDNESS!!
15 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: Good luck everyone! I'd like to raise the question of the Low Countries - shall we arrange a split?
15 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: The low Countries?
15 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: @Spain AKA Belgium and Holland
15 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: I'd like to have Belgium for myself and I'd think that Holland would be for Germany. I'm not so sure tbh
15 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: @France want to demilitarise the English Channel? We can also form an alliance to benefit us both.
15 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: I will comply with the Low Countries split granted I can have Switzerland. Does that work?

And Britain, let's do it. I'm more than willing to be a partner for as long as you don't stab me, of course!
16 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: Britain, Germany? Agree to the Switzerland idea?
16 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: I border Switzerland too. So why should I be okay with you moving right up to my border at Milan?
16 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: Hail all! I'm looking for anyone that wants to be good friends!

I of course claim Holland and am fine with Belgium going to Britain.

I think Switzerland should remain neutral for the time being. If we agree to that, then whichever nation first attempts to take it would be attacked the other two. I'm open to other suggestions though.

Italy, thoughts on Austria?

France, DMZ Alsace and Ruhr?
16 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: Poland, DMZ Prussia?
16 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: If you DMZ Berlin then yes
16 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: Egypt: Eastern M DMZ?
16 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: Here's the thing about the Low Countries:
If I cannot have Belgium, Holland, OR Switzerland, that seriously stifles my room to expand. Britain is guaranteed 6-7, Germany 6-7, Italy 6-7, and France 5.

I'd like to ask, if I cannot expand in any of those directions, where I should go.
16 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: I'll agree to those DMZs.
16 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: If there is no other way, then I will be compliant, but I just wanted to ask.
16 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: @Italy, I think you should let France get Switzerland and Germany Austria. Their ways of expansion are limited. Considering the fact that you can easily get Tunis and the Eastern Balkans (Croatia, Serbia and Greece) that will put you in a better position than all of us.
16 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: @Spain, what are you gonna do with my fleet in Gib?
16 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: I'm with Britain here, but I (obviously) need to find closure with Italy & Germany.

and Britain, if you need any backup, let me know.
16 Jul 18 UTC Spring, 1994: Same to you, brother.
