Rutger Jan Schimmelpenninck has signed the Constitution named Grondwet. The Grondwet was written by Gijsbert Karel van Hogendorp. Now the Batavian Republic goes under new rules.

The army massacred and most of them deserted or surrendered. Rutger Jan Schimmelpenninck, other politicians, the army, and the Batavian fleet have left. Rutger vows to one day come back and strike down the tryanny of France, but for now Batavian is once again a vassal after a short lived revolution. All the colonies were given to England to keep out of the French hands or the new puppet.

you do realize that this is the DUMBEST revolution ever pulled. France may have made you a vassal, but you still had some colonies and power. Your simply trading one ruling state for another. Simply dumb. All Britain is going to do is make you a vassal as well.


You would have been better to bide your time instead of just going, well i want to be free NOW!

I'd honestly be suprised if the French even bother recreating the Batavian Republic and just don't Flat out Annex it.

OOC: I know I choose a really bad time. Anyways I just wanted to test something. I know my country will become free one day because all republics are bound to fail.

Inside the city of Amsterdam with no real police and government in order. The people of Batavian have rioted and looted many stores. Many parts of the town are on fire. With the French outside the city. Most of the common people want the French to restore order in the city. Also Coup d'état is happening to get rid of the remains of the dead free Batavian Republic. Gijsbert Karel van Hogendorp, the man who wrote the constitution, has been executed by a kangroo court. A young man David Willem Elias who never supported the revolvtion has led a 100 man militia to regain order. He has sent a message to the French general asking to come in and regain order.

You still have Police. Why would they have gone away? And why would there be rioting, most people would just want to live their lives.
