I don't think the Italian is going to put up much of a fight...

The Czar wishes to announce his intention to bring the Romanian nation
back into the loving arms of the Russian empire. Severe steel shortage
also forces us to enter a closer cooperation with Sweden to bring
their iron mines under Russian oversight.

We invite our Turkish neighbour to bring Bulgaria and Greece back into
the fold, as we have no aspirations on land south or west of Romania.

We invite our good friends the Austrians to protect our slavic
brothers in Serbia, as it is too distant for us to do so, and suggest
they take a good look at restoring order to the Italian nation.

We suggest that our German neighbours keep their aspirations for
expansion to the west of Sweden, where no conflict with Russia will
occur.

To the English we offer uncontested access to the fjords of Norway,
and wish them luck in the struggle for the low countries.

As for France, we wish them well and urge them not to go to war with
our friends and allies, but as we have little conflict of interest, we
can offer no further guidance.

There's stuff above here
