OOC: Check NSWiki for more info on my nation. I suppose I can classify myself as a type of democratic communist nation still on it's way to true communism and such.
Oh, and this is MT.

Prime Minister Joseph Grudzinski was a very, very tired man. But who could blame him? He had supported this country for a mere three days after it declared itself to no longer be a colony of Poland, but an independent nation. Yes, he had done well in making the people happy, and now, he was bringing Pracowity out of isolation and into the world.
However, even he knew that going into the international world without friends was a bad idea. His friends in the International Democratic Union couldn't protect his country forever, he had to find more, powerful allies, and fast.
So, he decided to go worldwide. Located currently in PNaN(Pracowity News at Night), he was about to go live in a few seconds. He had prepared a small speech to explain his motives and such throughout the world, and he hoped it would be enough...

He began, "Greetings to you all in the world. I am Prime Minister Joseph Grudzinski, elected leader of the Democratic Republic of Pracowity. I, and my nation, have decided that now is the time we 'get our feet wet' and step into the International World. However, we are naught but a tiny nation, with no army even, as we never believe war is the answer. The best defence we have is our strengthening police force. Therefore, we need friends. Allies in the political term. So, I call to other sympathetic, active nations in the world to answer Pracowity's call for peace and friendship, and become allies with us. I state that, although we have no military, to compensate, we are abundant in resources thanks to our mostly untouched environment. I guarantee that if you ally with us, you will receive many resource benefits... however, to preserve our environments and have enough resources for ourself, we will only be able to accept five allies... so I suppose you can consider this as some sort of competition... I hope you will not take it as an insult if you are not selected to be an ally... I thank you all in advance for understanding my call. Goodnight."
As he received the sign he was off the air, Grudzinski began to breathe again. Gulping down an untouched glass of water, he hoped his tone was calm, cool, collected. And he hoped he got the message across, or the Parliament would scream bloody murder at him.
All he could do now was wait...
A message was sent to the nation of Pracowity......

The Kingdom of Xharn is willing to acknowledge your nation. We are willing to start diplomatic realations with your nation in the hopes of establishing peace and prosperity between our two nations.

Following the twin revolutions (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=446702) that had just days ago been declared successful by their respective leaders, the new and as yet universally unrecognised Republica Rojo Quisqueya strained itself to extend diplomatic feelers towards Pracowity's own Republic.
Of course, even considering the Red Republic as an ally would raise the prospect of giving-up on the crippled governments of Haiti and the Dominican Republic, the former of which was essentially under siege on the Ile de la Gonave while the latter filled prison cells or ran scattered through the countryside under hot pursuit by the Quisqueyan Red Army.
Still, as acting foreign minister for the revolution, Aimon Le Guin, would note in his first contact towards the Democratic Republic, recognition of Rojo Quisqueya meant accepting the popular will of the Hispaniolan masses and ending the insulting support that foreign governments maintained for the inept Haitian and crime ridden and corrupt and inequal Dominican regimes.
He added more: "...The Red Hispaniolan Republic, Republica Rojo Quisqueya, being infused with a breath of revolutionary air, welcomes Pracowity's gesture of friendship to the people of the world.
"It is our sincere hope as a liberated society that we should forge strong and lasting ties of comradery with your own Democratic Republic.
"The ferronickel, gold, silver, sugar, coffee, cocoa, tobacco, mangoes, meats, and consumer goods that we hope to see our united Quisqueyan peoples produce by honest and free toil for the purposes of export we can only hope to share with your people through mutually beneficial trade agreement. We in turn shall need much that our little island's seventy-six thousand square kilometres of unforgiving mountain and treasured forest can not provide for our seventeen million citizens."
The communiqué went on for some time as Le Guin spoke of the possibility that he would not personally see any potential business through to the end, owing to the prospect of the unified nation's first elections in the near future, and admitted that Rojo Quisqueya, being built of one desperately poor nation and another ruined by years of inequality and waste and both small in size, would perhaps not be the mightiest of military allies for the Democratic Republic to have. At least, he noted, there was no danger of unfair manipulation of Pracowity's peaceful state by an ally like Quisqueya, which may unfortunately not be true of many more powerful and corrupted states.
Meanwhile, the last Haitian and Dominican nationalists continued to fight rear-guard actions across the war-torn Caribbean island as the QER's fighters tried to bring a peace in which to build more ties such as those proposed with Pracowity.
Dear Prime Minister Joseph Grudzinski,
Greetings, on behalf of the Emperor of Atruria and the Atrurian people. The Empire of Atruria is also a nation recently coming out of an extremely isolationist policy. Despite our obvious ideological differences, I salute you in the name of my monarch. The Empire would be honored to host a Procowitan embassy and also to maintain an Atrurian embassy in Procowaty. We would very much like to establish a spirit of brotherhood and bonding between our two peoples.
Sincerely,
Alistair Sullivan,
Minister,
Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
On Behalf of:
His Imperial Majesty, Charles (III) Magnus, The Lion, Of the House of Lothar, By the Grace of God, Emperor of Atruria, Imperial Prince of Lothar, Grand Master of the Chivalric Order of the Knights of the Red Lion, Commander-In-Chief of the Royal Atrurian Armed Forces, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah

TO: The Dominion of Theao
FROM: The Democratic Republic of Pracowity
Thank you very much for your welcome. I believe that an alliance with you is very possible. Here are the terms that I have created.
The Alliance of the Dominion of Theao and the Democratic Republic of Pracowity
I. Both nations shall not show aggressive action toward the other, or their other allies, unless with reasons that nullify this document.
II. Both nations shall extend free trade towards one another, unless both nations recognize and agree upon certain items to not be traded, such as drugs or alchohol.
III. Both nations shall exchange embassies.
IV. Both nations, during times of crisis, shall aid one another in some way, whether it be by increased, cheaper trade to the nation in need or sending additional military forces to assist the nation. (Sub-clause: Essentially, if Pracowity is in distress, Theao shall primarily send military assistance. If Theao is in distress, Pracowity shall double trade to Pracowity at cheaper prices, depending on how severe the situation is.) When either nation is the instigator of a war, notably, the nation that is attacking another, the ruling body of the other nation can and will decide whether to participate in the war or not.
V. This alliance shall stand the test of time unless broken by one of the parties.

The tenents, as laid out, are acceptable, with one minor alteration to the fourth clause. Should either nation be the instigator of a war, then it is up to the ruling body of the other nation to decide on whether to get involved.
Should that be acceptable, we would be honoured to ratify the alliance.

The idea of the trade pact is for free trade, but we'd very much like more emphasis on metals such as titanium and steel. In return, we can send food-stuffs such as grain, fruits, and meat.

Prime Minister Grudzinski's reply to the Red Republic met with satisfaction, and the People's Republic was invited to make its mark on the transformation of Pedernales from remote border town to capital of a unified republic, and to do so by being amongst the first to move into the diplomatic quarter that was only just now being planned out.
Pedernales itself was preparing to sent a small ambassadorial contingent to Pracowity.
There was immediate agreement from the Quisqueyans that their ambassador's first task would be to put his name to a non-aggression pact (being so newly out of revolution, elected officials did not yet exist to do this, and military leaders could not be dispatched on the assumption that the old governments were beaten and would not resurge).
Trade was a little more complicated, because there was not yet full agreement on how the combined economies of the former Haiti and Dominican Republic would be run. It was proposed that Pracowity be allowed to establish interests in Quisqueya under the provision that they be prepared to accept state legislation that was yet unwritten. Following the inequality and corruption of the Dominican Republic it seems unlikely that capitalism will run free in the new nation, there will be some significant degree of worker empowerment and quite possibly a tariff economy in effect.
Pedernales speaks of hopes to limit the need for such barriers by free exchange of technology to keep the advancement of involved economies roughly in line with one another's capabilities. It is still possible, however, that Pedernales will enforce quotas to avoid over-supply of goods and devaluation of services and labour as a result, which helped none but an elite few in the old states. However, they expect no more of Pracowity.
The hope is that Quisqueyan trade, though fairly limited in world terms, will provide important goods of good quality, and though imports will be modest they will be reliable in the long term. The revolution does not aim to make anyone rich, but everyone comfortable.
