Matich annexes Spain and Portugal
King John II steps up to the microphone:
"Ladies and gentleman of the world. As of today Spain and Portugal are now part of Matich. The 7th Army based in Southern Spain has begun taking control of these two former nations. I have ordered the annexation because I am the rightful heir to the Spanish and Portuguese thrones. My claim dates back to the Habsburgs. The Spanish and Portuguese Monarchies have surrendered and both countries are now apart of Matich. Thank you and have a nice day."
12 CBGs are off the coast of Spain and Portugal making sure no foreign forces enter the country. The 7th Air Force is patrolling the skies and the 7th Army has put down resistance that was encountered which was almost none.
The Kings of Spain and Portugal are now Matich Dukes.

The Grand Duchy of Hamptonshire congratulates the Matich on it's annexation. The people of Spain and Portugal shall forever florish under your rule. May King John II live a thousand years.
OOC: On a side note, can we come to an agreement on Hamptonian Royal Navy movement through the Strait of Gibraltar?

HM Queen Elizabeth III extends her congratulations to King John II in light of his apparent succession to the Iberian thrones, while noting that this has ("bugger all") little bearing upon the democratic basis of the nations inhabiting said same peninsula.
Behind the scenes, meanwhile, Prime Minister John Bull sends to Matich, along with a second expression of Britain's assertion that monarchy gives right to chief of state and not head of government in Spain and Portugal, that the UK expects and requires that its administration of Gibraltar be respected. Failure to comply with this, states the PM, should result in a war cry being sent from London to the entire English-speaking world, and of course to the removal of the Matich government.
In public, HRH QEIII's congratulations continue.

Mattikistan does not condone the annexation of anywhere for any reason. However, we hope the people of Spain and Portugal are not affected in any bad way by this takeover, and would offer congratulations if they actually benefit.

Congrats on the new piece of real estate Matich.

Hamptonshire-Yes you may have passage.
TBF: I own Gibralter. Spain and Portugal are fully under my rule. They are now members of a monarchy. Yes I know that the monarchies of Spain and Portugal did not actually rule but "Officially" they did.
VL: You can have the Dukedom but officially you would be part of Matich. You wouldnt happen to have a Crown Princess would you?

Grand Duchy of Hamptonshire... ;)
I am most certainly a monarchy, a monarchy with a strange combination of strong democractic traditions and direct Grand Ducal rule.
Behesht greatly congratulates you, and will support you on any future campaigns you might embark on. We hope that an alliance between our 2 countries can happen. As a symbol of friendship, the Emperor of Behesht would like to send you a special hand-crafted crown. (This crown is embedded with emeralds, and at the top, has a large diamond about half the size of an acorn. The base of the crown is made up of ivory. Costs about 1.5 billion)

(OOC: Oh, looks like a different universe, then, because we would never have let the people of Gibraltar fall to foreign occupation without a minmum of sixty million deaths. Oh well. Carry on.)

Why Yes....I do...

Well I owned the Southern Spain and I owned the rest of Spain and Portugal for a short while but then I decided not to buy them from Skullzz so I gave them back.
Hamptonshire: I have a few Dukes and Duchesses who need husbands and wives.
VL: How about your Crown Princess marries my Crown Prince. That would form a Union between VL and Matich.
Behesht: Thank you for the crown. An alliance would be great. Telegram me.

Arch Duke Prince Nikolas I looks like a good possible match for Princess Cynthia Pyotr-Hampton, Duchess of Antietam. (She is a niece to the Grand Duke and is 4th in line for the throne*)
*The Grand Duke is elected by the Royal Senate 6 months after the death of the previous Grand Duke. While tradition dictates following the "Line of Succession", every once and a while a few people are skipped. Some info (http://www.freewebs.com/hamptonshire/government.htm) on this.
Sounds good Hamptonshire.
