Late 1713
From Batavia, a delegation of the VOC led by Jon von Heemskerck sets out to meet with Sultan Abdul Jalil IV of the Johor Sultanate. The large delegation, bringing with it gifts and good from Europe, ostensibly is going to inform the Sultan that the VOC plans on garrisoning the port city of Malaca in the coming year in line with the 1606 agreement giving the Netherlands control. Jon also reiterates the value the VOC and the Netherlands places in the previous military cooperation between the two and the successes that has led to in the past. Privately, Jon offers a renewed military alliance, coupled with favorable trading privileges for pepper and tin, against an old Johor rival on nearby Sumatra.

As the delegation approached Batam, a second ship accompanying the delegation broke off and headed west into the straits. This ship carried a similar delegation heading to Pulo Brayan to meet with King Tuanku Panglima Padrap of the Deli Sultanate, bringing with it a similar offer.

Early 1714

In Amsterdam the men of the 5e Brigade Van Welderen prepares to depart to the New Netherlands. Many of the men are to be stationed in New Amsterdam and New Rotterdam, and given the distance those with families are given allowed to bring them. The men are all promised plots of land, small plots of 25 to 30 acres for the average solider and near full patroonships for a couple senior officers. Along with the men of the 5e, groups of settlers are also making the journey with the promise to found a new colony, New Amstel (OTL Washington DC) near the Irish border. In the New Netherlands themselves, while untouched by the recent fighting around the world, the recent abortive Irish declaration of war isn't forgotten. New fortifications are planned for the Irish border at the new planned settlement and a wary eye is cast south, although the hope is that the colonies can continue to grow in peace.

(A garrison brigade is being transferred to the New Netherlands from the Netherlands and a settlement/fortification are being built at OTL Washington on the Irish border. At the end of the year that will mean 3 garrison brigades in the New Netherlands at Pavonia (Albany), New Amstel (DC) and New Amsterdam (NYC). Note, I've renamed the rest of the settlement to Dutch names as well e.g, Wilmington is now Zwaanendael, etc.)

In the WIC, the decision is made to demobilize the privateers as the expectation of peace for at least a few years settles in. The new former French possessions (French Guiana) are incorporated into the other WIC holdings on the continent and New Holland is declared reborn centered around Paramibo for now.

[Hussam B.]

The Kingdom of Spain, as it works towards repairing its naval yards in Ferrol and Cadiz, finds that it is in a shortage of naval building capacity.

A naval agreement is offered to the Dutch to commission 3 points of shipbuilding in its yards for 4 years, to construct a number of frigates for the Spanish fleet.

In exchange for this, a lump sum payment of 3 points is offered.

The Spanish agreement is accepted.

(Note: This extends back to the beginning of 1716. Which, yes, makes this slightly late...I'll do my best to keep this more timely as developments inevitably continue.)

The Orangists and their like-minded backers, including the Stadhtholder, entered 1716 having held onto many of the reins of power in the United Provinces for years. However, after years of mostly unchallenged control, the rumblings of discontent have begun spreading. As the United Provinces enters into another year of being at war, albeit an undeclared war, again for the second time in the ultimate years, the nation finds itself facing a heavy and growing debt burden, the prospect of continued heavy military spending, and most importantly, continued high taxes. Especially focused debate begins in the States at the provincial level (should be noted, that at this time much of the burden of funding things, the army in particular, was on the provinces not the central government at this time). Through the winter of 1715 into 1716 such discontent and debate rises, until in early February representatives in the States-General from Gelderland and Overijssel, provinces that had for a period suspended the office of Stadtholder and had been late to fall in line behind William, demand an end to the current conflict and the curtailing of current expenditures. That the push in the States-General originated from these representatives comes as little surprise, as they not only are home to relatively stronger levels of support for the States Party but also have generally benefited less from the recent conflicts unlike some provinces such as Holland.

The swell of debate, coupled with the sudden diplomatic pressure from the English encourages the dispatch of the Grand Pensionarry of Holland, Anthonie Heinsuis, to England to carry out negotiations. Anthonie, a widely-respected politician, not only had the ear of the Stadtholder, but was also a State-Party supporter, and was considered by most to be a strong and fair choice to lead negotiations in England.

The dispatch of Anthonie however does little to quell the growing debate in the States-General. Using discontent over continued taxes and the debt as a springboard, representatives of the States-Party push not just for an end to the conflict but also for constitutional and fiscal reforms. In spite of the successful conclusion of the Portuguese conflict in the middle of spring, the debate in the States-General had already taken a life of its own. Members of the States-Party, Loevesteiners and more radical republicans push the concept of Neutralism in Europe once again. They demand an end to the wars, a distraction and drain on the hard-won resources of the Republic. The Republic, they argue, was made great by developing trade and industry, and expanding the liberties of its people, something, the republicans especially, they argue is contrary to a war-fighting state with its necessary centralization of power. The Orangists in general, along with the Stadtholder(war, or the threat of war, causes the need for a strong executive, of course wished for by William), oppose this, and also point out that in spite of the extended conflicts the United Provinces have finally begun making strides in lessening the debt burden. Surprisingly, however, nascent support for the Loevesteiner argument exists amongst some Orangists backers, especially in Holland. Pamphlets pushing the year are printed throughout the summer and into the fall, arguing the "balancing of Europe should be left to others", that "war, unless waged for liberty, is always harmful" and that the prosperity and health of the Republic is founded on commerce, manufacture and free navigation. As such messages gain traction, emboldened republicans widen their calls for change to include reforms limiting the power of the Stadtholder. Orangists however are quick to chide such sentiment, reminding their opponents that while their lofty ideals sound appealing, the brutal reality of the world is that the United Provinces still finds herself surrounded by giants drooling at the prospect of stealing the wealth the Republic has built, and the the liberties so closely clutched by her citizens.

In this environment the secretary of the Raad van State, Simon van Slingelandt, himself a secret proponent of at least domestic reform, in the early winter finds himself forced to call for extraordinary sessions of the Raad van State to begin in 1717. Through the winter political tensions cool slightly as the Republic anxiously awaits debates that bring the potential to bring about sweeping changes in the United Provinces.

The Extraordinary Assemblies of 1717

The extraordinary assemblies of 1717 begin as heated as the debates of 1716 left off. Likewise, fresh European controversy feeds each side, as international politics remain inextricably tied to the domestic debate. The presence of a foreign enemy of course necessitates a strong defense, which necessitates the consolation of power, and the prospect of an Anglo-Hibernian war gives the Orangists the potential enemy they needed, England. The English occupation is still well within living memory of all in power, and fears of complete English naval dominance are presented as precisely the reason for which the United Provinces must work to support the balance in Europe. For as strong of a reaction as a potential English threat might bring, it is somewhat tempered by a general loathing for the Irish, a nation who has repeatedly threatened the United Provinces for no reason other than its naked ambition.

The debates on the place of the United Provinces in the world and within Europe remain stalemated into the spring. Van Slingelandt, caring more about fiscal and constitutional reform of a system he views as having lost its way, decides to finally publish his private writings on proposed reform. Entitled "Discourse on the defects in the present constitution of the Government of the State of the United Netherlands, and on the means of redress", the controversial writings are widely read. Finally, at the beginning of the summer a firm set of reform proposals are put forth by representatives of the States-General.

-Strengthened Council of State (Raad van State) which governs day-to-day affairs with the Stadtholder sitting at its head
-Reversal of the 1585 Ordinance of the Assembly: Delegates to the States (both the Council of State and the States-General, and provincial level)  are once again allowed to vote their conscious (in fact, bound by oath to) and are not required to vote as instructed by their principles (town regents). Otherwise, the composition of the provincial level States remains in the hands of the States (some choose to include nobles, others not, etc.).
-The issue of taxation once again allowed to be submitted to neutral arbitration (led by the Stadtholder) should there be a deadlock in the States-General ("Generality").
-Percentage of the contributions from each province to the Generality's annual budget is no longer set permanently, but rather will be re-set every ten years to reflect relative changes in each province.
-The Generality Lands are to be granted full status as a province, with their own provincial council and representatives to the States-General and equal status to the other United Provinces. The Kaapcolonie and the New Netherlands will remain under the direct rule of the Generality.
-The office of Stadtholder will be accepted by all provinces as hereditary, and each province affirms William as the current Stadtholder.
-The office of Captain General will be occupied by the Stadtholder.
-The provincial States are required to meet monthly, as opposed to the current 4 times a year.
-The provincial States will continue to have power over how contributions to the provincial budgets are composed from the local towns and cities.
-Discussions in the States-General and provincial States no longer limited to items pre-agendad. Free discussion again permitted.
-The Stadtholder to retain the power to appoint certain officials at the provincial level except for burgomasters.
-Burgomasters to be popularly elected.
-Universal male suffrage, already in existence in some parts of the United Provinces (such as Friesland), to be extended to all provinces.
-The army to be funded directly by the Generality, not by the component provinces.
-Decision of war is in the hands of the States-General, although the Captain-General retains its wartime powers.
-In exchange for the loss of direct revenue to the Generality by granting the Generality Lands status as a province, a cap on the allowable provincial level verponding (real estate tax) is proposed with a verponding imposed by the Generality to be placed on top.
-Turn over postal system and offices, and the associated revenue, to the Generality.
-The prohibition on the use of taxes by provinces to discriminate against residents of other provinces, including internal tariffs, established in the Union of Utrecht is to be enforced

More radical proposals, such as instituting a Personeel Quotisatie (progressive personal income tax, heavily favored by Van Slingelandt) or demands that directors of the chambers of the VOC should be popularly elected, were brushed aside as too dangerous to even consider aloud.

The British War and Holland

1717

Since its bloody and inconclusive war against France, the Netherlands has embarked on a series of audacious gambles to improve its imperial standing. A successful war against Portugal has left the Dutch feeling empowered, though domestic politics have also kept it from unchecked aggression on all fronts. The outbreak of war between England and Ireland, however, has given the Netherlands another opportunity. Both the English and Irish have spent the last few decades staring rapaciously at New Netherlands—the inability of either country to align with the other openly is all that spared her colonies from a series of potentially fatal invasions. Both countries have also sought to ingratiate themselves with France, and only the timely intervention of the Spanish and Austrians prevented a combined Franco-English army from wresting all the Netherlands’ Indian Ocean territories from her.

The Dutch populace, however, is not a naturally warlike one. The past decade has seen the Low Countries embroiled in conflict after conflict—a risky series of ventures for the mercantilist Seven Provinces. The struggle between Stuart and Parliament also uncovers many divides in Dutch society. The Orangists, though hardly absolutists, are loath to see the anarchic Englishmen expand their power; the legacy of the English invasion is still fresh. The States-Party is not altogether afraid of the expansion of Parliamentary authority, though still tempered by the poor state of Anglo-Dutch relations. More radical factions within the States-Party are emboldened by the rhetoric spewing forth from London, however, and like in France pro-English tracts are again beginning to appear in the streets of Amsterdam and The Hague.

The strength of co-religionist ties is often outweighed by the reality of the situation. English covetousness of Dutch lands and willingness to spill Dutch blood (though this impulse was mostly constrained during the last war) means that only the most zealous or radical Netherlanders are openly clamoring to aid England. The merchant houses look on greedily at the opportunity to make profit from wartime loans, while even the great colonial companies are exhausted from their expensive wars. The pursuit of the guilder is the only thing that challenges the pursuit of Grace in Dutch society, it seems.

The 1717 Ordinance of the Assembly

After almost a year of debate and political maneuvering, the 1717 Ordinance of the Assembly is finally agreed upon. Politics, and worries caused by the Anglo-Hibernian conflict, have seen the originally expansive proposals pared down. Proposals cutting into the Stadtholder's power, such as having burgomasters be popularly elected as opposed to appointed by the Stadtholder or giving the States-General increased war powers have been stricken. The final Ordinance focuses mostly on economic reform, leaving the Stadtholder's power and position intact, in some ways even strengthened. The Generality, vis-à-vis the provinces, likewise came out a more influential institution. While the States-Party has seen some of its proposals accepted and finds itself in a stronger position than it has been over the past decade, many central issues in their eyes remain unresolved. Perhaps most importantly, the place the Netherlands should take within Europe remains uncertain. The war in England and Ireland has come at an inopportune, or for some, opportune, time.

-Reversal of the 1585 Ordinance of the Assembly: Delegates to the States (both the Council of State and the States-General, and provincial level)  are once again allowed to vote their conscious (in fact, bound by oath to) and are not required to vote as instructed by their principles (town regents).

1718 Indian Ordinance

Indians in the New Netherlands and surounding areas who embrace the Protestant faith are granted the right to be recognized as full Dutch citizens, with all of the rights that entails. Such rights include the ability to move to the Netherlands themselves should said citizen wish. Non-Protestant Indians have the right to trade and live within the New Netherlands so long as they abide by local laws, albeit without the full legal protections and rights enjoyed by citizens. Mixed children, regardless of their religious affiliation, are automatically recognized as Dutch citizens.

[Hussam B.]

Spain reaches out to the Dutch Republic for a 5 point loan in 1718, repaid at 7% interest over a period of 20 years.

[Kilani]

Commonwealth diplomats respond by requesting that the Dutch not extend financial assistance to a nation that is about to be embroiled in conflict with the Commonwealth.

[Haven]

The Spanish and English are both informed that there will be no further loans extended to any parties in 1718 from the Netherlands. Dutch banks already have large loan amounts outstanding and remaining loan capacity is potentially to be needed in the Netherlands itself.
