"The glorious reign of the Romanovs has now sadly come to an end. I wish to thank all of my people, especially the peasants, for their loyal support of myself and all the Tsars that came before me. While I regret the Teutonic invasion of our motherland, I'm sure the people will, someday, rise again and throw off the Germanic yoke of oppression. As for me, I hear the climate in Ceylon is quite nice, is it not? The Tsarina and I will spend some time on the beach to relax, and then begin planning on writing our book. I plan to call it "Kaiser Sandman is a Big, Fat Hairy Liar""
It is unclear who the publisher of the Tsar's new book will be.
Meanwhile, in a SOP to his loyal Austrian ally, the Kaiser has opened the door to Vienna for the Archduke. First reports indicate much rejoicing in the streets and the Archduke has been rumored to have declared a national holiday for the next week.
In the south, the valiant Turks continue to hold off the massive combined Franco-German juggernaught. There can be little hope for the Sultan, however, as he now stands alone against the onslaught.
In the north, nothing at all happened.
