TO: Open Letter to the International Community
FROM: USNSEA Minister of Foreign Affairs Joshua Lin
SUBJECT: What is your stance on our nation?

Greetings Esteemed Delegates and Fellow Dignitaries,

With the Union now established a face in the international community, and judging from the majority of the results of our relations in various forms (arms contracts by foreign corporations; through our state's relations of friends, etc), it seems to have a positive image. In order to improve this image, we would like you to respond to this question. Your response shall be greatly appreciated, and we shall reciprocate our opinion on your state.

Sincerely,
His Excellency,
USNSEA Minister of Foreign Affairs
Joshua Lin

OOC: Yeah, I saw AMF's thread and decided to copy him. You can also place your OOC view of me if you want to. Go ahead and post...it'll be nice of you to do so, and it'll be greatly appreciated. :)

To: Mr. Lin
From: Chairwoman Katherine Schleicher
Re: Stance

After recently taking over as Chairwoman of the Commonwealth of Saint Fedski, I have had the chance to review relations between our nations. Given the fact that I was not even on the Security Council in the previous administration, I cannot make a proper assessment by myself. However, I have talked at length with various current and former cabinet members and I am confident that what I'm about to write is the truth. The Commonwealth of Saint Fedski considers The United Sovereign Nations of Southeastasia as an ally and mentor. It is predicted that relations will only improve until we are close allies. I sincerely hope this time is not too far off.

Your's truly,
Katherine Schleicher, Chairman, Commonwealth of Saint Fedski

OOC: Thanks for the comment Fedski. BTW, I do recommend that you purchase the Z-39 CICV. It'll help in dealing with the Torontian insurgency.

Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
We thank Mrs. Schleicher for responding to this. In return, we shall tell you what we think of your state. Our government does not considering the CSF an ally, but rather a nation we have friendly relations with. My colleague and friend, Paul Nettleton, is pleased that you tried out Portland Iron Works and are happy you liked the Endeavour-class transport you requested. We are also looking to mutually beneficial relations in the future.

OOC: Is there a reason I should feel a certain way?

OOC: Well, you can be neutral if you want to be. But my characters want to improve their country's image in the international community, so do please post an IC comment of what you think of our nation, and they'll reciprocate.

FROM: McKagan State Department
Subject: Stance On Your Nation

We haven't had very many encounters with your nation, but have noticed several incidents your nation has been involved in. We have no reason to feel badly of you, but no reason to support you greatly. There, however, exists possibility for this in the future, as you seem like an intelligent, rationale nation.

TO: McKagan State Department
FROM: USNSEA Minister of Foreign Affairs Joshua Lin
Subject: Stance On Your Nation

Greetings,

We think well of the Democratic Imperium of McKagan, as we have heard of many good tales from our friendly relations with your allies, the Democratic Imperium of Halberdgardia and the Glorious Confederacy of Leafanistan. We also look forward to establish official diplomatic relations with your country, and that we both shall prosper.

-The Lone Alliance considers your nation a valuable trade partner, and a good business leading nation. While trust is not in our nature, we do have confidence in your actions.

Commissariat of Foreign Affairs

In the opinion of the Soviet Union, we are relatively neutral on Southeast Asia. However, we do not - as suspected - support your overtly capitalist form of economy; but do not see it as a threat to the integrity of the Soviet Union.

We would hope that you would either reform your administration to a more socially minded stance, but we do not see that coming anytime soon. Thus, we have no choice but to remain neutral and will continue to keep an eye on your administration and its policies.

Sincerely,
Alexai Vladimirmorov, S.J.D.
Commissar of Foreign Affairs

Official Statement by the Minister of Foreign Affairs

Southeast Asia's Stance on the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

The incumbent party's ideology is liberalism, so we are fellow left-wingers like you. We also agree with you that you cannot ignore the community at large, and the government does have control over the economy...just not to the huge extent of a socialist government. Specifically, the branch of liberalism the party believes in is 'New Liberalism'. As for our stance on the USSR....we view your conglomeration of nations neutrally as we have had no encounters with you in the world of global politics. We do look forward to establishing diplomatic relations with the USSR someday however.

Southeast Asia's Stance on the Allied States of The Lone Alliance

Due to good business dealings through WACI, we view The Lone Alliance as a benign democracy. While we are a bit upset at the fact that the Council of Twenty has little faith in the private sector, we are looking forward to the day they learn that privatization is not inherently evil. I, on the behalf of the cabinet and the Southeast Asian people, wish your state prospers in the future!

As long as Southeastasia does not interfere in PRA weapons trafficking or any other Otagian interests, we will be happy to maintain cordial relationships with your esteemed nation. However, the moment another nation crosses the line and violates Otagian rights, they shall be eliminated. We do hope that it never comes to that in the case of your nation.

Yours,
Daniel Quetzal
CEO of Pale Rider Arms
Regent-Elect of Otagia

Southeast Asia's Stance on the Corporate Monarchy of Otagia

Dear Mr. Quetzal,

Our administration views Otagia neutrally as we have not had much interaction with her, but we do not agree with the fact that it produces WMDs. And while we are not sure about the claims that Otagia is a corporate police state that has human rights violations, if this is true, then we won't be too happy about it. Thank you for letting us know what you think of our state.

To: USNSEA Minister of Foreign Affairs, Joshua Lin
Sybject: Stance

Dear mr. Lin,

We have to say that we are neutral to the USNSEA. this is mainly because of lost business by VDZ & VL weapons, state-owned company. You have blocked possible deals by our company with commercials for other companies. This means that we have a cold, neutral relationship. It may improve over time, as we had no other contacts with the USNSEA as of yet. What is the USNSEA's Stance on the Grand Duchy of Van Luxemburg?

Dear your Grand Duchy,

IC: "The Incorporated Sarzonian Government has a generally favourable view of Southeast Asia and believe they have the potential to be a responsible member of the international family of nations. We also note with approval their interest in establishing diplomatic and economic ties with our government and that of our allies in the Democratic Imperium of Praetonia." -- Statement from Deputy Senior Vice President and External Affairs Officer Mark Lorber

OOC: You seem to be pretty cool, though I think you sometimes seem to be too worried about what other people think of you and you try a bit too hard to curry favour with a group of players you seem to admire. I don't really like it when people do stuff like creating polls to find out if people like them or ask how they RP. Having said that, I think you've got potential as a RPer and I think you're a nice guy/girl from what I've seen.

OOC: FYI, I am male.

From: Van Luxemburgian Foreign Ministry
To: USNSEA, Minister of Foreign Affairs Joshua Lin

We thank you for your positive view on our nation. It is no problem for us to establish diplomatic relations. We therefore ask you to set your proposal, and we will make our answer. Our Ministry is on it's task 24 hours a day, and will accept your inquiry at any time. A nice place will be set in Luxembourg, on your request.

Southeast Asia's Stance on the Incorporated States of Sarzonia

Your Excellency,

We view the Incorporated States of Sarzonia as a master of the seas, always willing to do good. But while we do not always agree with the Freek Government's methods of dealing with it's enemies, it at least gets the job done. You may view them as an enemy of piece, but something tells me that they may not be warmongering and evil...most people are in between black and white: gray. Now, would you be willing to answer my request to establish diplomatic relations with your state, Mr. Lorber? It will only enhance our reputations and your economy.

Subject: Relations and Recognition?

We ask if the government of Southeast Asia to recognizes our sovereignty over Torontia.

TO: TORONTIAN PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT
FROM: Ministry of Foreign Affairs
SUBJECT: Stance on Amestria and Torontian Provisonal Government

The cabinet along with the people of Southeast Asia are against imperialism, mostly due to the fact that several states were former colonies of Western powers. But we do hope that these suspicions are untrue and that as soon as the Amestrian Army finishes reconstruction of Torontia, that their soldiers withdraw and leaves a happy democratic state. But if not, then let's just say you've dug in your own grave internationally.

I think that it is time that Lin's office deputies take a break and I have decided to write my opinion, which is in fact agreed by the overwhelming majority of the Southeast Asian public's opinion: your company has amassed too much private power and do not deserve to be your own sovereign entity.

Your human rights records are perfectly disgusting, and all your loathsome superiors only care about stuffing their pockets with as much money as possible, sadistically harming others and only caring for yourselves. However, you are not our most hated enemy. That glorious honor goes to Chairman William Stryker, leader of the Federation of Joint Conglomerates. Once we give you a nice taste of brutal defeat, then I'll make sure you, Herr Lom, along with several other soon-to-be-former employees of your corporation, are begging on the streets nude and without shelter.

Re: Diplomatic Opinions

As the newly-confirmed Secretary of State under President Kil, I bid you greetings. While I personally have had little contact with delegates from the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia, I have heard many good things about the Southeast Asian government from my predecessor, Richard Coveney.

Given the democratic nature of the Southeast Asian government, as well as its excellent human rights record and some superb diplomacy work, I believe that it is safe to say that the Democratic Imperium of Halberdgardia looks quite favorably upon the Southeast Asian government, as well as Prime Minister Neo's commitment to "diplomacy over force," much the same as President Kil.

I look forward to the possibility of furthering Halberdgardian-Southeast Asian relations during my term as Secretary of State, and to hearing back from your government in the future.

You probably know that Minister Lin is in the Libertarian Concordance seeking diplomatic relations like President Kil, so he unfortunately cannot respond in person. While we Southeast Asians do not agree with the ideology of imperialism, we are at least happy to know that Halberdgardia looks both ways, for themselves and for the soon-to-be Halberdgardian Provincial Territory of X, bringing them truth, justice, freedom and democracy and distancing away from the dark, oppressive reign of crackpot dictators and bringing a bright future close to the present.

We Southeast Asians wish well on Halberdgardia, and hope to strengthen relations between our two states!

Communiqué to the Southeast Asian Leadership

Frankly, especially with Southeast Asia's entrance into the IADF, it will always be an ally to the Empire, unless something drastic happens - which is doubtful. Nonetheless, as Southeast Asia is a rather new ally to Fedala, there are some inconsistencies, but for the most part I can only recall our relationship as positive. Southeast Asia has also been a leader in civil liberties and has always made a step to interpose itself for peace, making it a very good candidate for the IADF, and one reason why membership was accepted so rapidly. Fortunately, Southeast Asia also seems semi capitalist, although with a few restrictions, which is something the Empire likes to see in allies. Government controlled economies are almost never friendly. Although the alliance between Southeast Asia and the Empire will have to mature over the years, there's a very positive outlook on this possibility, and it is certainly something I, and any of my heirs, will be looking foward to.

A few quibbles are, again, the market. Although it may be slightly capitalist, there are government controls, as in a regulated capitalist economy. We would like to see the prevailence of the market economy in Southeast Asia, but know this may not be possible. Nonetheless, it is always an option to go Absolute Capitalist, and change it a bit to be able to keep your liberties - Space Union almost did it, had it not been for the meddling of Pacitalia, who actually caused the temporary destruction of the Federation's economy. But, alas, it is going onto a tangent.

Other than that, again, the relationship is positive and we see Southeast Asia with a deal of respect. To put it blatantly, however, we do not yet see Southeast Asia in a position of authorative dominance - although, perhaps, neither are we. Nevertheless, the growing Southeast Asia certainly has the ability to become that.

TO: Joshua Lin, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Southeast Asia
FROM: Wilhelm Vanholme, Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Wingarde

SUBJECT: Wingarde's opinion on Southeast Asia

Greetings,

Due to the recent embassy exchange carried out between our nations, Wingarde maintains a friendly stance towards Southeast Asia. This posture, however, was somewhat threatened due to the controversial request issued by your government, asking our involvement in a distant war for questionable reasons. The request was widely considered inappropriate in the Congress and was ultimately denied, but for the sake of diplomatic relations, the event was overlooked.

Nevertheless, we consider United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia a strong, stable and reliable democratic power, and have no reasons to show any hostility at all towards it.

Yours sincerely,

Wilhelm Vanholme,
Minister for Foreign Affairs,
Democratic States of Wingarde

TO: Emperor Fedor I, Empire of the Golden Throne of The Macabees
FROM: Yao Yang Nelson Neo, Prime Minister of the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia
RE: Southeast Asia's Stance on the Empire of the Golden Throne of The Macabees

Dear Your Majesty,

Minister Lin is unable to personally write this as he is in the Libertarian Concordance of Czardas, like several other delegations, seeking ties with the Czardaians. Unfortunately, he and his associates are stuck in a deep underground bunker along with the rest of the delegations thanks to a CAD invasion, a result of Czardaian criticism of The Warmaster when it became a monarchy from a democracy.

I wish that he and his associates return alive and unharmed along with the rest of the delegations.

Now, onto my nation's stance on the Empire. I, leader of the Government of the Union of Southeast Asian Nations (our alternate official name), view the Empire to be a generally benign state. And when it comes to economics: Despite the fact that I'm a liberal, I do support the capitalism economic system. Southeast Asia has a great free market with government regulations which root out corruption quite well, and that is why we get along with our socialistic friends in The Lone Alliance.

As Southeast Asia is a member-state of the International Allied Defense Federation, we hope that through this supranational organization, relations between our two countries shall flourish in a time not too far off.

Sincerely,
His Leadership,
Prime Minister of the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia

SUBJECT: Southeast Asia's Stance on the Democratic States of Wingarde

Dear Minister Vanholme,

My humble opinion is that the Democratic States of Wingarde has the potential of being a close ally of the Union, and we very much treasure the same views.

While it is perfectly understandable that the President and Congress denied supporting our friends in the Libertarian Concordance of Czardas, it may be in the long run negative. If Minister Lin and the rest of the delegations get killed, I will have nothing against you and your fellow Wingardian politicians, but my people might have something against your government at the same time against the CAD invaders (personally I will blame the national and military leaders of the member-states CAD themselves). While we agree that a peaceful rise to international power would be marvelous, that happens very rarely....but the choice is yours. I meant no offense to you Minister Vanholme, but I hope that we can get over this debacle and you will be less hesistant.

OOC: question Why are OOC comments needed in this thread?

[OOC: Because in case you wish to make an OOC statement about my behavior and how well would you rate my role-play, it'd be greatly appreciated.]

OOC: I have not exactly role-played with you but,

You did give me great advice on where to get allies for the Novacom/Xharn war.

Scale:

Role-Play: Have no experince abstain
Behavior: Excellent

OOC: What do you mean by 'no experience abstain'? And what allies do you have against Novacom? Any of CAD member-states that I OOCly suggested that you and CAD have very similar views ICly?

OOC:

Role-Play: Have no experince abstain:

It means I have not role played with your nation enough to make an opinion on your Rping skills.

As for the C A D Allies matter:

Unfornately Novacom wants that war closed so, I can not get any allies in the conflict.

Doomingland said he would help. I have not heard from him for awhile though.

I Don't think Novacom would want that big of a nation interfering with his invasion OOCly OR ICly...

OOC: Now before we clutter this thread up with things too unrelated to the point of this thread, let's take this to TGs Xharn.

The Merkar Republic is quite proud of the nation of Southeast Asia. Only a handful of nations in the universe support the capitalist/democratic system, and the few who do prosper. We hope that our comrades in Southeastasia continue to benefit from the attitude of hard work and self-dependence capitalism engenders, and the accountability provided by an efficient democracy.

As for your RP skills, you are pretty good. I admire the fact that you begin each sentence with a capital letter and end it with a period (not many RPers do that):D, and your skill and maturity. I'd be glad to have someone like you to RP with. (I actually have an RP, do a search for my username and find the sign-up thread I wrote).

Southeast Asia's Stance on the Dominion of DMG

Dear Mr. Secretary,

Minister Lin is unable to answer this himself as he is in Czardas attending a conference that allows stronger relations between the Libertarian Concordance and the United Sovereign Nations, but neverthless, he has read your message and is grateful for your comments. We thank you very much for taking part in this survey and your comments were greatly appreciated.

Now, onto Southeast Asia's stance on the Dominion. We are very grateful that the Demogades have helped modernize our armed forces, and while we have little political contact, we applaude decent Demogade human rights records and their wise leadership. We hope that one day the relations shall blossom into an alliance.

It is with high spirit I write to address the nation of The United Sovereign Nations of Southeastasia through you, Mr. Lin. As a fellow member of the IADF we hold the USNSEA as a great ally and freind in the international community.
We also hope to continue with such good relations with such allies when we venture in and out of relations abroad.

Now, onto Southeast Asia's stance on Sumer. While we disagree with your form of government, as long as your leader and his administration treat his fellow countrymen well and that the DRS has a good human rights record, we will look at you in a positive light.

"We currently have no opinion of Southeast Asia, as we have no relations, either cordial or hostile. We would, however, like to remedy that situation by exchanging ambassadors. Our goal is to establish peaceful and friendly diplomatic and commercial relations with as many nation-states as possible. Please notify us if you are interested in an embassy exchange or in commerce between our two nations."

Foreign Minister Theodore LaFollette

The Eternal Empire of Yurka has no official opinion on Southeast Asia, having just released itself from a self-imposed isolationist policy, and currently still under the process of doing so on a civilian level. However, we are sure that in the future if our nations should even come in contact with eachother, it will be only on friendly terms.

The Principality of Bronzeland has just recently emerged onto the world stage and would like to postpone our view of your nation until we have a clear view of its policies.

I, we, the Empire and the corporations within hope to start some trading with your nation decpite our.. differences. We are always looking for profitable food contracts and I am sure we have products that may intrest you.
And in time, who knows, we might adopt some of the "human rights".
We ask one thing tho. That you report any supernatural activities to us and hopefully let us investigate those matters, under your supervision ofcourse.
The Empire has.. intrest in those things. I know this may seem like an odd request and I am sure that your nation have no supernatural activities to report. But if you do come across one.. we would very much apreciate it.

DEMOCRATIC SOVIET REPUBLIC OF KAHANISTAN
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The Government of Kahanistan sees your nation as a peaceable and democratic nation, with which we are interested in further diplomatic relations.

However, in response to your latest statement to the combatants in the ViZion War, we hold a deeply hostile view towards most CAD powers as human rights violators of the lowest order. The fact that they form the bulk of the Presidential forces' support speaks volumes of the regime that would come to power if the Presidential forces should prove victorious.

We are amenable to peace, but surrender is not an option for our military, as it is difficult enough to keep morale up without talk of surrender, and lost war after lost war only erodes nations' respect for us. Any peace we would agree to would necessarily involve the protection of certain political and social freedoms in ViZion, and a removal of foreign influence in the ViZionarian Government.

That would mean that the forces of all sides lay down their arms, the two coalitions form some sort of peace, and the President and Congress of ViZion negotiate over how to rule their nation.

We await your response to our views, and hope that other powers of all sides air theirs.

Dear Mrs. Delray,

This was the message we gave you in your Global Survey:
TO: Margaret Delray, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Democratic Soviet Republic of Kahanistan
FROM: Office of Joshua Lin, USNSEA Minister of Foreign Affairs
SUBJECT: Southeast Asia's Stance on the Democratic Soviet Republic of Kahanistan

Dear Minister Delray,

Minister Lin is unable to answer this himself as he is in Czardas attending a conference that allows stronger relations between the Libertarian Concordance and the United Sovereign Nations, but neverthless, he asked us to write down our national government's opinion and general public's opinion on the DSRK should you ever have released a litmus test to see what was the international community's opinion on your nation.

We have had little contact with the representatives of the DSRK and have never met one of it's high-ranking government officials, but we do agree that the world is a cruel place. There are powers-that-be often become absolutely corrupted with power and abuse them, oppressing those for the sake of benefiting themselves, intolerant of dissent and show not even a small token of respect for human rights. But what your government doesn't wield well, is that it doesn't use the effectiveness of politics enough to convince rogue states with poor human rights records to make them back down.

Going to war over human rights abuses doesn't exactly help those nations, as the oppressed peoples may view your rolling military as a greater evil than their corrupt totalitarian rulers, or think the Kahanistanians to be just as bad as them. Not to mention that your nation has gone up against countries with oppressive regimes that are at the same time global powers (these names sound familiar, don't they: the Ottoman Alliance, the Excessively Armed Empire of Automagfreek, now the Holy Empire of Doomingsland and CAD) with superior armed forces, quite often in greater numbers, in superior tactics and superior quality of weaponry.

We suggest that the next time you lock horns with a human rights abuser, use diplomacy more effectively. When diplomacy fails, still restrain yourself, it will give the international community a better perspective on the DSRK. And if they respond with military action (especially if it is a mighty military bloc) make sure that you have a coalition of powerful states backing you along with a Kahanistanian military that is more up to current standards and better in tactics.

Office of Joshua Lin, USNSEA Minister of Foreign Affairs

We, the Omzian Democratic Republic, do not as of currently has any strong feelings towards Southeast Asia, or solidly consolidated diplomatic ties. On the other hand, based on our previous interactions and our observations, the Omzian government sees favourably of the nation of Southeast Asia. The reach towards other nations diplomatically makes the nation relatively well known on the world stage, and it is hard to find serious flaws in Southeast Asia's own government system in regards to the protection of civil rights and human dignity. It is our hope that with a right mix of future diplomatic cooperation, as well as increased economic transactions, ties between Southeast Asia and the Omzian Democratic Republic will continue to grow in a healthy ascent for the foressenable future.

First off, I would like to thank you for filling out our survey. Now, onto your statement about Southeast Asian-Luxemburgian ties. Our relationship with the Grand Duchy is still neutral, due to the fact that we have yet to make any moves to bring each other closer. So why issue a statement of hostility towards us?

As for our stance on the People's Republic....I would like to congratulate you for being able to become your own sovereign state, and currently view your nation in a neutral light. However, I suggest that if you keep up this militant, xenophobic policy against the Grand Duchy and the nations it has friendly relations with and allied with, this state of sovereignty may not last much longer.

I would like to thank you for taking part in this global survey, and your comments are appreciated and shall be taken into consideration. True, this is the first time the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia and the Republic of The Beltway have ever been in contact. Our policy on embassy exchanging is normally reserved for those nations that we have been in contact for sufficient time (OOC: read - a whole month or two-to-three weeks), and have had some dealings that mutually benefit each other.

But, your nation can bend this rule. Why? Because of the fact that you have relations with the Incorporated States of Sarzonia, a country we have been strengthening relations with for the past few months. And because of this, when we release our new embassy exchange program, you shall be swiftly accepted for access to our diplomatic quarters. I look forward to increasing ties with the Republic of The Beltway, that you succeed in reestablishing the Union and that our two states have a prosperous future!

Although our nations have ties and friendships with the same nations, we have not had much contact with the United States of Southeast Asia. From what we have heard from our allies and friends USSEA seems like a rational, fair-minded, and ideal democratic country. USSEA, in my understanding, has been very fair to The Saharistan War Coalition, an organization in which HailandKill has been a member of. This is obviously indirectly helpful to our nation, and our gratitude is enormous. As mentioned earlier we do not have many ties between our nations, and I personally would like to see this amended.

And while we do not agree with the concept of imperialism, we note with most sincere gratitude the Saharistan War Coalition does a superb job at reconstructing war-torn nations once under the iron-grasp of a psychotic dictatorship.

Subject: Military Assistance

Many are dead. Many of these people are family people, men, women, children, the foreign aggressors do not care. They only wish to stamp out democracy for their corporatist views. To crush democracy and capitalism for their horrific facism. We must put an end to it. We must ally for the common good of our nations, of all nations, for democracy to survive. However, we need weapons to defend ourselves. Our air force is deficient and needy. We can pay back in full.

They are also holding a peace conference, we want you to be there to support us.

Our athesist enemies bicker on the mainland while those in the territories starve. They forced us to accept their communist ways, their terrible lies, they destruction of religion via taxing the one thing society needs, churches! We must act, we must protect the most sacred things to us, the worshipping of the one true God. We have allied with the Parliament and will work with them to get more autonomy, we must rise up in the name of the most holy God and lead us to a true, God-lead heaven.

SUBJECT: Stance on Leafanistan

Greetings Sirs and or Madames,

This is His Excellency Joshua Lin, speaking on the behalf of the cabinet and the people.

We are neutral on the Leafanistani Domestic Crisis. However, the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia views your nation as one which we have good ties with, and as an old friend and as a key trade partner . We shall take no side in the Leafanistani War, and hope that the Glorious Confederacy can stabilize itself in as soon as possible. We hope and wish well for the Leafanistani People and State.

We also hope our ties are not severed after the outcome of the war, whoever is the victor.

Respectfully,
His Excellency
Minister of Foreign Affairs

FROM: Joshua Lin, Minister of Foreign Affairs, United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia
SUBJECT: Re: Regards

Greetings Admiral O' Toole,

It is indeed an honor to speak to a representative of an old ally of ours, especially a representative of the legitimate leadership of the Glorious Confederacy of Leafanistan.

The cabinet is extremely angry at the Confederate Socialist Reform Party, we have suspisions that the CSRP ordered the bombing of Consular Bemet's office. Luckily, the extraction crew managed to get them out and no helicopter was lost. Our own pilots could not have done it without your interpid Loyalist airmen, and our new, then in-testing helicopters performed well.

We would be helping you via military means right now and long ago, if it were not for other pressing matters around the world we have elsewhere. We wish to send a delegate to sort out a solution, but we have concerns about the CSRP's motives. Should the conference fail, we will be more than willing to assist.

Godspeed, and don't fail your nation! This originally domestic conflict is without doubt going to have a big impact on the world due to various parties having interests in your country.

Best Regards,
His Excellency
Minister of Foreign Affairs
United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia
Joshua Lin

Sorry about that. And you seem to be a great guy and a good role-player.]

Statement Issued to the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia
[attn: Minister of Foreign Affairs, Joshua Lin, USNSA]

His Most Serene Majesty's Government has since revised its stance on the nation of Southeast Asia.

While the Secretariat of State for Trade (Ministry of External Affairs) maintains your nations trading accreditation as "good", the Ministry now maintains a receptive stance on your nation.

The Daíl (Parliament) accords your nation a "Decent" reputation and maintains an "Ambivalent" attitude towards you (for an explanation of these values see our official website, link below).

~ Junior Minister for External Affairs, Ruiri Alexandr L'tan

OOC: One problem, my Empire of Eternity membership is not public IC info, it's SIC.

OOC: It has been corrected, but your nation's location in the EoE is a bit of a giveaway.

OOC: That's the problem, I can't exactly tell everyone immediately that it's OOC info not public IC info. Response to come later Macisikan, gotta go to doze off.

Dear Mr. Coll,

We are certainly glad that you have filled out this survey, and the fact that you have taken Portland Iron Works as your primary naval contractor. I assume that you have heard of our endorsement via our various international communiques?

Now, back onto the subject: speaking on the behalf of the cabinet, we view the Commonwealth of Northford as a strong, reliable and democratic nation and a good candidate for diplomatic relations.

The Union of Southeast Asian Nations is pleased that you would fill out our diplomatic survey once more to reveal that the United Imperial Kingdoms has an improved stance on Southeast Asia. Like all the other survey fillers, your comments thave been taken into consideration and are appreciated.

The United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia still maintain a positive outlook on the United Imperial Kingdoms, and we much agree on one particular part of foreign policy - "diplomacy over force."

We hope for stronger Macisikani-Southeast Asian ties in the future, and to hearing from your nation and yourself in the said future!

Official Response of the United States Government

We have a generally positive view of SoutheastAsia, however we believe that the nation acted in a rash, unjustified matter, and misrepresented facts, when pressuring Isselmere-Nieland to refuse us the privilege of having an embassy in that nation.

Dear sir,
It has come to my attention that you wish of Illior's opinion of your nation. With our World so large and vast as it is, it is hard to keep track of the thousands of nations running around, except for those running around in packs, be it in some regional alliance, or some MDP. Southeastasia and Illior really have not come into contact with each other over the spans of our countries, and have never realy interacted, so our stance on your country is this:... Oh screw it, I need some breakfast.

Sincerely yours,

Marcus Bergen

FROM: Robert Fletcher, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Dem. Rep. of Hamilay

Dear Mr Lin,
It has been brought to the Republic's attention that Southeastasia desires Hamilay's opinion on itself. Whilst our nations have not had major international relations, Hamilay maintains a positive view of Southeastasia as a supporter of freedom, democracy and civil liberties, with a competent and successful administration. We hope our nations will continue to maintain a favourable relationship and look forward to increasing ties with Southeastasia in the future.

Your question has bazzled us when the Fatherland received your communique. The Fatherland is not sure about our diplomatic relations, but we would like to say we are neutral. We will try to attain the level of friendly.

Official Communique from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Sovereign Nations
Southeast Asia's Stance on the United States of Allanea

To Whom It May Concern,

I thank you for taking this diplomatic survey, and your reviews of our role in the international community, shall be taken into consideration.

We in Southeast Asia have a neutral stance on the United States of Allanea, but however, we note that you have a controversial nature due to various actions across the international community and various domestic policies within the country your very institution administrates.

We still are neutral because we have little direct contact from the United States of Allanea, or any members of her government. But your country's actions could force people to reevaluate relations with the United States and plant the seeds of resentment. Keep in mind, that we in Southeast Asia maintain a neutral stance on the United States of Allanea, and we have relatively little conflict, so we have little feeling for Allanea. But what we have said, regarding your controversial nature, was a little piece of advice, not to be insulting or anything like that.

Thank you again, for taking part in my country's diplomatic survey.

Yours Truly,
His Excellency,
Joshua Lin Cheuk Kitt
Minister of Foreign Affairs
United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia

Official Communique from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Sovereign Nations
Southeast Asia's Stance on the Centrist Demonarchy of Illior

Dear Mr. Marcus Bergen,

First of all, I would like to thank you for having your nation take part in this diplomatic survey. Your comments shall be taken into consideration, Mr. Bergen.

Now, as for Southeast Asia's stance on the Centrist Demonarchy of Illior - indeed, our two States have had little to no contact, other than this banter going on about between the two of us. However, according to our observations about your country's actions through out the planet, we do note that you have friendly ties with the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland through similar social ties and military contracts from the Royal Shipyards.

This provides a possibility for expanding relations with the Centrist Demonarchy and the United Sovereign Nations.

I hope that it is true, and that Southeast Asia and Illior can become friends via our mutual friendship with Isselmere-Nieland. Once again, thank you Mr. Berger, for taking part in this diplomatic survey.

Yours Sincerely,
His Excellency,
Joshua Lin Cheuk Kitt
Minister of Foreign Affairs
United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia

Official Communique from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Sovereign Nations
Southeast Asia's Stance on the Democratic Republic of Hamilay

Dear Mr. Fletcher,

I offer my warmest salutations for having your country, the Democratic Republic of Hamilay, for taking part in this diplomatic survey, and your comments have been taken into account with and shall be reviewed, Mr. Fletcher.

Now, as for Southeast Asia's stance on the Democratic Republic of Hamilay - we in Southeast Asia view the Democratic Republic of Hamilay as a peaceable nation which agrees with many of Southeast Asia's beliefs and values. So far, Hamilay, has remained low in her profile across the planet and global community. But we in Southeast Asia believe that she has the potential to become a positive force for international affairs and that she has the potential to form strong ties with the United Sovereign Nations.

I hope that I am correct in my hypothesis, Mr. Fletcher, for I see much potential in your nation. Thank you very much, for taking the diplomatic survey.

Yours Sincerely,
His Excellency,
Joshua Lin Cheuk Kitt
Minister of Foreign Affairs
United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia

Official Communique from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Sovereign Nations
Southeast Asia's Stance on the Roman Republic

Dear General Ajay Patel,

I would like to thank you for having the Fatherland take a part in this diplomatic survey.

Now, as for Southeast Asia's stance on the Roman Republic - we also, view you neutrally, but however, we do note that relations between the Roman Republic and the United Sovereign Nations have the potential to blossom into a healthy trade relationship that can bring economic prosperity for both parties and perhaps more.

I hope that I am correct in this...however, the relationship between the Fatherland and the United Sovereign Nations could be improved and offer more potential growth, if the Roman Republic were less restrictive in civil liberties and political freedoms. We in Southeast Asia understand that it is the role of government to provide a better society and keep order, but restricting liberty may not be the best way.

I thank you again, General Ajay Patel, for having your nation take part in my country's diplomatic survey.

Yours Sincerely,
His Excellency,
Joshua Lin Cheuk Kitt
Minister of Foreign Affairs
United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia

[OOC: Some notes for you people....it's Southeast Asia, with a space between the 't' of 'Southeast' and the capital 'A' of 'Asia', not as one word without a capital 'A' in 'Asia' or scrambling it together with a capital 'A' in 'Asia'. The same applies to my national adjective. Please don't do this again ICly or OOCly.

Allanea - I haven't interacted with you much, but from what I've read, you are a good writer. Too bad we ICly disagree with one another, it would've made things even more fun....or could it? Perhaps we could have a relationship a la the Incorporated States of Sarzonia and the United Kingdom of Oceania? And we haven't revealed our IC dislike for the United States of Allanea yet, please remove the references to Isselmere-Nieland and the irrationality part, as that was a Secret In-Character communique.

Illior - You seem to be a nice fellow, and are not bad at writing and at aviation. As said before, good analysis on NS technology. You and I could develop a close relationship both IC and OOC, thanks to our mutual friendship with the UKIN (as mentioned earlier) and your ability to write.

Hamilay - As stated ICly, you do have potential to become one of the more "tier" role-players around NS. You just need to polish up your ability with the pen, and be more active IC. And you seem like a nice guy, from what I know.

Roman Republic - OOCly, I know little about you. But you seem to behave well, and show ability as a role-player. Here's my tip - less about your storefront and business sales, more about the story.

Thank you all guys (or gals, in case a few of you are female, as I could be wrong), for taking part in this IC and OOC survey!]

[OOC: Can I get your OOC and IC stance on me even if I'm too lazy to write one myself?]

[OOC: Sure. Let's see...starting with the IC views.

Before King William's Rise to the Crown and the ViZion Conflict:

Officially, we maintained neutrality. We were considering of establishing ties with the Questerian Empire. Unofficially, we respected Questers for her maritime influence and the fact that it was commited to humanity and freedom. We thought that Queen Clara was a paragon of good leadership and kindness. And we were considering of giving indirect help to the Congressional Forces via logistical aid, and the fact that Questers and MassPwnage had colonies nearby was in fact the genesis of my alliance with the Incorporated States.

After King William's Rise to the Crown and the Juumanistran War:

Officially, we still maintained neutrality. Unofficially, all chances of formalizing dissappeared. Strongly contended to be officially branded into the "Unfriendly" Category, thanks to a rushed investigation of Queen Clara's death and the fact that the entire Questerian populace (or rather, a supermajority of them) believed that the Juumanistran Dominion was a communist state and behind the preceding monarch's death.

Increasingly having a great dislike of Questers as it's war with the Northern Alliance drags on, and my PM especially distrusts King William.

OOCly...You're fine, but a little on the hot-tempered and impatient side. Other then that, I have no problem with you.]

Hotdogs2 has a high reguard of Southeast Asia as a nation who loves peace and from what we have seen our their acts in the international community it stands them well. We in Hotdogs2 are not so fortunate in that respect, although we love peace it has been noted by some ministers that our actions offend some nations and can cause war even if we are trying to stop something worse happening and purely in the interests of our security observing an ongoing war or dispute. We therefore admire the way Southeast Asia manages to disipate the heat and seems to be able to form friendships all over the world with any nation that they please.

Hotdogs2 feels Southeast Asia is a great state and likes their stance on Civil Rights and Political Freedoms, something which Hotdogs2 has been working on recently. This is all have have to say currently, but if you have any questions upon Hotdogs2 we will be glad to answer them

May you live long and prosper,

Now, let us review our stance on your State, the Expanding Armed Federation of Hotdogs2. We do note with approval your regards to diplomacy over force. Now with regards to that, we would like to say that Hotdogs2 remains fairly positive (in the friendly-neutral sense), and has potential to be on the diplomatic relations list.

I hope that I may be correct, and that time may not be too far off.

Dear Sir, we are glad to have your response and on your kind words are being taken greatfully and we hope this will lead to friendship between our nations. Hotdogs2 is currently looking to have a brighter and brighter future as time goes on, and are currently again looking to keep the peace in other parts of the world(the imperialism being displayed in many places is disgraceful).

May I, on behalf of Hotdogs2 say that any friendship from your nation is most welcome and we are gald we have a nation who supports our peaceful ambitions. Although we cannot always be at peace we try to use our military power as a detterent or if possible not at all.

We will welcome any future diplomatic relations with the Union of Southeast Asian Nations.

[OOC: Your welcome, HD2. Now, *BUMP*]

OCC: Well Icly I dont think we have had any communication so I dont think I can do any written bit in that form...however if you do decide to join in Passion Play you will be on the recieving end of some Hitmen manufactured high explosives delivered most probably from weapons systems you advised that I purchase for that particular conflict. Suppose thats irony for you. But anyway, OOCly you seem to be helpful and rather like supporting the underdog. I will confess I have not seen too much of your IC writing and with university looming I'm not sure that that will change to a suitable degree in the near future.

Think thats about it. Apart from a thanks on the equipment advice, I really am useless at that kind of thing.

OOC: Well you strike me as a nice guy SEA that is a very capable RPer (from what I've seen in your peace RPs, though, I haven't seen any of your war ones). You also NS's own billboard advertiser for storefronts and you've helped quite a lot of newbies on NS, for sure. You also strike me as an all around great guy. Keep up the good work. :)

As for your question in my TG on why I blocked you, I accidently blocked your nation when I was blocking another nation. Didn't notice till you told me.

[OOC: Thanks guys. Now, as for some reviewing OOC...IH, you're an excellent role-player, especially when it comes to depicting a good portrait of a battle in an armed conflict, a la A Passion Play. And I still haven't quite decided whether or not I want to join, because it seems that all thanks to Hogsweat (whose involvement I didn't have in mind for the War of Golden Succession), the Havenite Pact is no longer the underdog ICly. And we've liked the Macabee Imperium for its culture and the fact that it seems to have a responsible government, and this is also bolstered by the fact that we have several of our friends dealing with the Golden Throne, although we do have some of our friends that have tensions with it (e.g. Sarzonia, Pacitalia). And with regards to IC relations with you, we have heard of you, but haven't had direct contact with you. However, we (still) would like to remain impartial in the War of Golden Succession, both officially and unofficially.

Now, as for Space Union....you're viewed as a friendly thanks to your ties with nations I also have dealings with, (i.e. the ISS, the UKIN, the DIH, et cetera). OOC wise, I say you do a good job both military-wise and politically wise (good Federate crisis regarding economics, and a good economics role-play!). The only problem I can spot, is with regards to your military: It's far too biased toward the air force, no offense intended, but I don't mean to say that you have inept naval commanders and ground force commanders. What I'm trying to say is, it needs a little more evening out.]

ICly, the KLM views your nation with neutrality for the most part.

It has taken some time for us to determine exactly the relationship between our nations, while it is true that neither of our nations, according to our records, have had an official contact with each other we understand that we have at least a mutual friend, the nation of Pacitalia. Perhaps in the future Bazalonian-SouthEastAsian relations could be formed and then built upon

As is on display from the Dian Logothe's Office
ICCD is has no current diploymatic issues with South East Asia, and counts it as a friendly state, specifically in relation to activity in Xian of the East Pacific.

[OOC: I saw this and I believe I answered before, but I figured I should post again anyway.

IC'ly I believe we are relatively good terms though currently we may have a rift of ideas that we have to patch up. I have had relatively good connections through McKagan and Hal and the overall SWC to you, which is always a plus.

Speaking on rifts, I still have to start our diplomatic RP.

OOCly, we haven't interacted much, but I do note that you are a good role-player and seem to be a decent guy.

ICly and OOCly, I'm neutral on you Intracircumcordei.

And HailandKill....yes, you have done this survey before. My position still stands: we respect you as we have heard good tales from our Halberdgardian friends of the Imperial Republic of HailandKill, but you may notice our subtle displeasements. OOCly, I think you're okay. As for our little thread....yes, I know, we do need to get it up and done over with it sometime.]

OOC: It isn't really IC for me to go shouting my opinions about someone, getting much information out of me ICly is considered somewhat of a coup :p so I'll just say it oocly.

ICly, your considered to be a highly respectable nation, your ambassador made a very good impression on behalf of your government, and most South East Asians are considered a quiet upstanding people with great emotional strength, their is a certain amount of kinship seen in some ways, but until we can get a chance to develop relations more, we prefer to keep you at arms length.


OOCly, your canny, very knowledgeable about practically everybody, you can be a little snapy at times though thats propably OOC stress, your a good RPer from what I've seen, pity you don't RP more.

OOCly, I don't know you, so I cannot comment much...and just FYI, it was Isselmere and Tyrandis that mentioned you on The NS Draftroom, kudos to them about your days as an aviation giant - hope to role-play with you more often. And as for my age...actually, I'm 15. Thanks for your compliments though about my writing...Czardas must've forgotten about my birthday and the fact that we do age.

And Emporer Pudu, ICly, we view you leerily thanks to your support of TKC (C'mon, hurry up man!). OOCly, I think you're a good writer, and hope to role-play with you more often.]

*bump*

ooc: DO ME DO ME!

ooc: DO ME DO ME!
[OOC: IC, we've had zilch contact but have heard of a formidable naval force, other than that we can't comment on. OOC, I think that you're a fine line-arter, and I've got no problems with you OOCly. What do you think of me in both senses?]

OOC: For the fun of it and that I’m a little bored. Do me!

ooc: DO ME DO ME!

Do me too? :/

OOC: Well, its the same deal SEA for IC...no contact; but ooc I <3. But you do look 10. rofl.

[OOC: Yet again, on time constraints. So I'll do this OOC.

Transylvania: I think you're a good role-player who shows potential. ICly, we're neutral. Keep up, improve, and do what you can to learn from your lessons and thrive.

Do me too? :/
Izistan: Same as above. I would've prefered it both IC and OOC that you remained a parliamentary republic. Then again, as your ability to use the pen with skill well remains pertinent, and the fact that ICly, you helped us against the Kraven Corporation...doesn't make me incapable of turning a blind eye, or turning a 20/20 eye... ;) Keep up the good work, Izi!]

Subject: Franberrian participation in diplomatic survey,

To Whom It May Concern,

Speaking as the highest ranking officer in foreign policy, I would like to thank you for having taken part in this survey. I am indeed aware of the minor trade between the Federal Sultanate Duchydom and my homeland, and we do hold common features (strong public healthcare, strong social welfare, and a republican system, to name a few). The opinion of the Union of Southeast Asian Nations on the Federal Sultanate Duchydom of Franberry is positive, and I certainly do look forward to advancing the Franberrian-Southeast Asian relationship.

Yours Truly,
His Excellency,
Joshua Lin Cheuk Kitt
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Union of Southeast Asian Nations

[OOC: There, that's it. OOCly, I think you're a decent fellow, role-playing needs to be more frequent though in order to better harness your potential. Keep it up, Franberry.]

To:Foreign Affairs Office of the Union of Southeast Asian Nations
From:Angelos Nicolaos, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Constitutional Republic of Willink
Subject"Where do you stand?"
Date:Sat, 26 May 2007

Dear Sir or Madam,


The Constitutional Republic wishes to reaffirm that it considers the Union of Southeast Asian Nations one of its largest and most exigent trade partners, and a true friend to the Willinkian people, whom hold the highest regard for your nation. As the Minopoulos administration has repeatedly stated, the fostering of friendly relations between our two nations has been a prime concern of the nation's foreign policy, and we hope that future developments serve no purpose aside from advancing such.

Regards,
Angelos Nicolaos,
Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Constitutional Republic of Willink

OOC- Respectful, Thoughtful, Intelligent Person to whom I hold high regards, and consider a magnificent roleplayer.

To: Angelos Nicolaos, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Constitutional Republic of Willink
From: Joshua Lin, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Union of Southeast Asian Nations
Subject: Southeast Asian stance on Willink

Dear Minister Angelos Nicolaos,

It is indeed an honor to receive a letter from the Constitutional Republic of Willink. Prime Minister Georgios Minopaulos has chosen you well, Minister Nicolaos, and I am feeling confident that with these contacts, another stepping stone in the Willinkian-Southeast Asian relationship has been crossed. The United Sovereign Nations is interested in joining the Organization for International Economic Development, and we believe in the usage of soft power more than hard power, hence by our doctrine of "diplomacy over force". The United Sovereign Nations also oes commend Willinkian effort in peacekeeping with our friends in the Democratic Imperium of Halberdgardia and the rest of the Saharistan War Coalition. Due to this Executive Cabinet's principles in liberal realism, and with increased ties with the Constitutional Republic, both of our respective homelands shall prosper.

Yours Sincerely,
His Excellency,
Joshua Lin Cheuk Kitt
Minister of Foreign Affairs
Union of Southeast Asian Nations

While it is unfortunate that the Prussians have not had as close relations with the Southeast Asian Government as would be liked, the Emperor does acknowlege that they are a friend of our people.
