User blog:William Seasteel/Secede of Lucca from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany - (Return of Lucca to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany)

Greetings. On behalf of the Medici family, I, William de' Medici, Formerly Grand Prince of Tuscany under Empress Maria Theresa of Austria & The Hapsburgs, do hereby secede Lucca, which is under control of my father, from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. It has been illegally taken from Empress Theresa with the Polish government claiming she gave it to them. I therefore form the Republic of Lucca placing myself as Generalissimo of it.

I now speak to all nations who see this despicable act for what it is. The Austrians have most likely been kind to all of you. Maria Theresa is one of the most peaceful monarchs in POTCO. I believe she has the right to have her land defended. I ask that any nation elligible to send help, sends assistance to the Lucca Resistance.

As of now, the Republic of Lucca is not declaring any armed conflict with Poland, however, we will defend our land from any militaristic forces sent close to us. We also embargo trade with Poland, and cut off all travel to or from Lucca. Thank you.
