In an unprecedented display of power since he first entered his office, Consul Hawkins declared sweeping changes to Eredron's foreign policy, seemingly confirming the fears of critics who believed Hawkins to be an overly aggressive 'hawk' with 'personal beliefs' too conservative for the people of Eredron.

The changes were made without prior senatorial debate, and come as a surprise to many. A member of the administration explained:

"...the changes do nothing but mirror a growing shift in public opinion...in opposition to regimes of tyranny and dictatorial rule. Governments that do not represent, or that repress, the general populace will find no friendship with Eredron."

The official said this was merely a first step by Eredron to persuade governments to become more democratic, but would not comment on rumors of a new military doctrine calling for an aggressive posture to those governments deemed undesirable.

Consul Hawkins will be signing the policy into law through the Executive Precedence Act of 1909, with embassies issuing official releases to their respective counterparts.
