What is most important for the Spanish development and modernization plan is to link our major cities properly with those of our ports and into the French railroad network. At such time we could theoretically ship goods far more easily to any part of europe as well as receive them. It is also the policy of the Spanish Government to consider the lands of Morocco as vital to our long term prosperity. Spain must be lifted up first, however, before we can attend to fully developing our colonies if both goals are to be successful.
Spain is open to greater friendship with the Italian people, we can work together greatly to develop our nations up into their rightful places. We have few neighbors even if counting upon the waters as but a river and there is no sense to be had in fighting them at this time.
What is most important though is to maintain the unity of Spain and to focus our attention upon the future and not upon the tragedies of the past. We will have to embrace a more open and modern world if we are to regain our place as a 1st line nation.
OOC: Does romania need to be recognized? I thought is was independent?
