## Content

This document is an official declaration of annexation of former lands, and overseas territories of the Holy Roman Empire, and neighboring vassal-states of the Holy Roman Empire following the Kingdom of the Swiss' collapse and departure from the realm. This is in order to maintain stability, and the security of these regions as they border the Habsburg Empire, as well as to reassert the Holy Roman Empress's formal and historical right to rule these lands.

* The former Imperial Habsburg territories of Savoy, Eastern Aosta Valley, Piedmont, Sardinia, and the Principality of Fürstenberg-Fürstenberg shall be formally re-annexed back into the Austrian Empire, and the Treaty of Mainau (1751) shall be rendered **null and void**.
	+ The Habsburg Empire shall also reoccupy and formally annex the Margraviate of Baden, as the Kingdom of the Swiss is no longer in existence.
* The territory of the former Republic of Lucca shall be annexed and reinstated as a vassal-state of the Holy Roman Empire as citing; *"During the tenth–eleventh centuries Lucca was the capital of the feudal margraviate of Tuscany, more or less independent but owing nominal allegiance to the Holy Roman Emperor."*
* The former Swiss Viceroyality of Venice which has fallen into anarchy and borders the Habsburg Empire shall be occupied and incorporated into the Austrian Empire as the Venetian Province, and recognized as a Province of the Habsburg Monarchy.
	+ The former Venetian provinces of the Peloponnese peninsula (known as the Morea at the time), Crete and islands of Aegina and Tinos, the Ionian Islands and the cities of Preveza and Arta on the Epirote mainland, shall be incorporated into the newly formed Habsburg Venetian Province, these provinces were once lost to the former and now defunct Ottoman Empire in the 1718 Treaty of Passarowitz.
