Yugoslav Diplomacy

The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia today is a small nation with a middling economy, trying hard to protect itself through a policy of non-alignment, aggressive internal propaganda, and defensive militarisation.

The federative capital, Belgrade, is now reaching-out for greater relations with the nations of the world. The federation's neutrality means that it will not allow the military forces of even ideologically-similar nations to be deployed to its territory, since this, it is felt, would mark Yugoslavia out as a threat to other power-blocs. However, diplomatic and trade relations are actively sought with democratic and autocratic governments, capitalistic and socialistic economies. Pan-Slavism, important to the Aidarov regime, has sometimes caused unease in other societies, but examples such as the improvement in the fortunes of Bulgaria's Turkish community since the PRB's transition to a SRB allay fears of dangerous racism.

Belgrade hopes to open new foreign embassies and consulates and dispatch its own diplomats, attract foreign visitors (no.2 industry being tourism), find custom for its defence industries (this being the federation's no.1 economic sector) and find potential partners for future armament development projects, source imports of essentials such as crude oil, and generally to engage in cultural exchanges and secure peace with global neighbours.

Information

Since the 1980 death of the famous Josip Broz 'Tito', the federative republic has lived under the watch of Marshal Lav (A.K.A. Larionko Aidarov, or Lav: the 'lion'), who completed the long-desired act of federation with the then-People's-Republic of Bulgaria, which now is a Socialist Republic within Yugoslavia.

Modern Yugoslavia practices limited political democracy, the nation's first female Prime Minister, Miroslava Goranov, having been elected by popular vote after an election campaign in which she ran against fellow members of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia (the Yugoslavian Communist Party). These were government ministers as well as ordinary citizens distinguished by their work in associated labour organisations in the social-ownership section of the economy. Larionko Aidarov holds the title of President for Life.

The SFRY has just thirty-one million citizens. Its economy is worth almosta quarter of a trillion US dollars, and is organised into three parts- state, social, and private (in estimated order of importance).

(Well, that's nice, if bordering on the OOC and kinda hard to respond to.)

Foreign and Information Secretary Aleksandar Milutinov has been appointed by the President to over-see the new diplomatic initiative. Thus far the work was slow, and Milutinov was required only to extend one specific invitation, asking the government of Kanami to send representation to Belgrade if it should wish to conduct significant relations with the Socialist Federal Republic.

The Kingdom of Manchu-Korea and Emperor Saejong II welcomes relations with Yugo Slavia as a fellow non-aligned nation. We are a dual monarchy of only middling industrialization, relying instead on exports of lumber and rice to fuel our economy.

President Larionko "Lav" Aidarov, Maršal Jugoslavije (http://images.ibsys.com/2006/0410/8600833.jpg), was not unhappy to greet the interest of the Manchu-Korean joint monarchy, though a Balkan federation of socialist republics could hardly be thought the natural ally of an East-Asian imperium.

The Socialist Federal Republic, keen none the less to aquire allies, invites Manchuria-Korea to establish an embassy on grounds in Belgrade and prepares to send its own diplomats to Asia. The Yugoslavian state expresses interest in sending engineers to over-see development in new areas of the Manchu-Korean economy, such as in exploiting the nation's significant coal reserves and perhaps developing heavy industry and hydro-electrical power generation, for which the dual monarchies are thought to have significant potential.

In truth, President Aidarov hopes that a healthy, modern Manchuria-Korean economy may enable the purchase of Yugoslavian defence technologies, which are generally considered to be a just little behind the cutting edge but at a significantly reduced cost in contrast to top foreign products. Yugoslav diplomats will also, as ever, try to hype the nation as a tourist destination, talking about, "clean state-operated beaches on the Adriatic and the Black Sea", "friendly socialist peoples", "fair prices", and, "centuries of history on the Euro-Asian crossroad".
