The Dutch Empire has recently been invited to join a Coalition. This is the official response from the government.
The Dutch Empire agrees to join the Coalition, on a few terms.
1. All lands currently owned, and lands conquered in the future will be recognized by all Coalition members, and will not be disputed.
2. The Dutch Government will not be interfered with. It was said a constitution would be made to limit the governments in the Coalition. The Dutch will not follow said limitations, just for fair warning.
3. All Dutch Companies can play a role in the Coalition. The Dutch East India Company will serve under the Empire, as should every company.
4. The Dutch get a say in the forming of the constitution/agreement.
5. No war within the Coalition will affect the Dutch Empire. A coalition is meant to be a military alliance, not a theatre for wars.
6. The Dutch Empire will be given all the time it needs to prepare itself for the era, and will not be dragged into wars/bouts it doesn't wish to encounter.
7. No Coalition members will try to rig the odds/power in favor, or against the Dutch Empire.
Signed,
Imperator Willem Batavus of the Dutch Empire, Duke of Wellington
