The Federated Pacific Union (FPU)

Geographic and Physical Information

The Federated Pacific Union is a federation of four former nations; Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, and New Zealand. Thousands of islands make up a portion of the country's total landmass, much of the rest dominated by the Australian continental mainland. The FPU is overall a fairly large country overall, and serves a very important purpose in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The nation almost single-handedly serves as a buffer between the two oceans, and is a vital waypoint between them.
The climate is varied of the nation, but the island chains of the South Pacific are mostly hot and humid, densely shrouded by tropical rainforests. The islands are very active in siesmic activity; many volcanos dot the islands, while earthquakes of various magnitudes are also common. Australia and New Zealand have seperate climates, varying between temperate to desert.
The Australian continent in itself is quite unique, much like a melting pot for various ecologies from across the planet. Massive desert covers much of the continent's inland sections, but the coastal regions vary from rainforests to temperate beaches, with the Great Barrier Reef present just beneath the southernmost regions of Australia.

Politics and People

The FPU has a fairly high population at 286,868,117 people according to the most recent census. Due to government action, many people have migrated from the Indonesian smaller islands and moved to the Australian mainland, to somewhat centralize the scattered people of the Union.
The nation is divided into four provinces-each of the nations that joined the FPU. Each province is locally directed by a provincial administrative capital, while the main capital of the nation serves as the ultimate authority.

Indonesian Provincial Capital: Jakarta
Malaysian Provincial Capital: Kuala Lumpur
New Zealand Provincial Capital: Wellington
Australian Provincial Capital: Melbourne
FPU Federal Capital: Sydney, Australian Province
Largest City: Jakarta (8,792,000)

The religions and languages of the people of the FPU are varied, but the government does its best to make some sort of standard.

Official Language: English

Economics

Though the Per Capita GDP of the FPU is somewhat low due to the sheer number of people in the Union, the actual national GDP is somewhat high. Major sources of income and jobs are in the textile industries, based in Malaysian Province, Tourism, based from Australian Province, Farming and Herding, based from the New Zealand Province, and Petroleum and Natural Gas mining and refining, based in Indonesian Province.

GDP: $2.044 trillion
Economic Growth: 4.3% Increasing
Currency: Rupiah

Policy of Economics:
The FPU is looking to modernize its industries in Indonesian and Malaysian provinces to meet up with the high standards set elsewhere in the nation. Agricultural spread is being utilized in Indonesian areas, while Malaysian areas are constructing new industries in the rubber sector-Malaysian Province is the world's leading exporter of rubber and palm oil.

Political Regime

Out of the national capital of Sydney in Australian Province, the FPU government concentrates on a somewhat strict, centralized government. However, most citizens are very content with the governmental policy-civil rights are still high, and are all-new highs for Indonesian and Malaysian people. Technically, the government is a multi-party democracy-however, the ruling party, the Centralists, have mostly taken nearly complete power, while the Expansionists, the opposing party of importance, have been somewhat shunted in the most recent elections.
The Chancellor is the national FPU leader, with the Premier his de facto second in charge. The Regulators control different aspects of society, answering to the Premier and Chancellor. The Regulators form the High Council, which is third only behind the Chancellor and Premier. The Federal Senate is the final, and lowest, federal policy-making body. The Federal Senate proposes and votes on movements before they are sent to the Premier and Chancellor for approval.

To: Michael Grange
From: International Trade Advisor Chris Hani

As the representitive for the Rhodesian Socialist Union, I am writing to inform you of a trade suggestion me and my industrial advisors thought would benefit both our nations.

As one of the worlds largest exporters of Natural Rubber and Natural Gas, we found that a trade suggestion was most in order. Also, you centralized government gave growth to the idea that by working together, we could bring our two nations more culturally and ideologically together. However, for now we have to get down to business. We suggest:

$100 Million per annum for as much Natural Oil per annum as possible
$25 Million per annum for as much Natural Gas per annum as possible
Permanent Trade Routes set up between the Nations
Joint Stock Market Set up in Sydney

We hope that for now you will consider our offer, and hopefully we can do more trading in the future.

Thankyou for your time, reply soon.

OOC:

I noticed the non-diplomacy note, but I don't know where else to put this where you would notice....

OOC: I'm changing it to my diplomacy thread just for kicks and ease
For my military stuff, I'm going to make a descriptive, detailed thread (at a later date, when I'll NEED my military).
So, if you want FPU diplomacy-come right in!

Addressed to the Honorable Chris Hani, Rhodesian Trade Advisor

The Union is intriguied by Rhodesia's trade proposal. As the FPU is economically minded in the forefront, anything to increase trade is certainly welcome.
However, a minor adendum: as for the stock market idea-the Union Senate was somewhat unwilling to commit to much in the first joint affairs by Rhodesia and the FPU. As such, we are not willing to (yet) commit to a joint stock exchange-however, if things go well over the course of time, we may likely reconsider.
To the rest of the proposal, the Union accepts wholeheartedly. A move will soon go out to determine how much rubber and natural gas will equal to the equivalent monetary amounts; when we find out, we will send a communication back.

To a prosperous relation,
Michael Grange

To Foreign Affairs Regulator Michael Grange,
Given our two governments' agreement on the issue of Singapore, we would be happy to open an embassy in your fine nation's capital of Sydney and accept one of yours in Tailville DR on Bougainville. Preferably, ours in Sydney will be with as close a view of the Opera House as possible; myself and my other Elven employees especially love a chance to partake of the performing arts in our off-hours from consular tedium, and there would be ideal.
I am already reviewing our personnel to pick for the team being sent, and I assure you they shall be our very best as befits our nearest neighbor and newest friend.
Sincerely,
Rilir Alarion nos Carthir of the Greenwood Coalition,
Secretary of State,
United Socialist States of Wagdog RCC.

Addressed to the Respectful Dominion of Vetaka Prime Minister, James Harper

The Non-Aggression pact is certainly a good idea, though the Union would like to make a few changes to the document, both in Article 2 and in Article 3.

Revised Document:

The Pacific Pact


Article 1: The Dominion of Vetaka and The Federated Pacific Union recgonise each-others nations, governments, people and International Claims.

Article 2: The Dominion of Vetaka and The Federated Pacific Union promise to never use military force against each other, unless changes over time force arms use. If so, then this document shall be nullified, followed by a 24-hour cease fire before any armed conflict may be pursued, in the hope of solving the said crisis through diplmacy.

Article 3: The Dominion of Vetaka and The Federated Pacific Union are obliged to provide support, aid, or goods should one side be in need of such.

Article 4: The Dominion of Vetaka and The Federated Pacific Union promise to further attempt to develop their international relationship.


I believe the slight revisions made will be in the best for the most stable and best relations possible between the Dominion and the Union.

Arabian Bedou Royal Islamic Confederation
Official Communication.

An exchange of Diplomatic envoys would be most pleasing as the Federated Pacific Union is home to one of hte largest Muslim nations in the world we feel that relations between our two Blocs should be kept at the very minimum cordial for the benefit of our Muslim brothers who are by matter of faith expected to make the Hajj at least one time within their life.

It is the policy of the ARC to facilitate this as easily as possible.

While non-Muslims are not allowed within the cities of Medina and Mecca almost all of the rest of the Kingdom is welcoming to foriegn tourism, especially the Eastern coast, so this exchange of envoys which has been suggested will form cordial relationship that can serve to foster greater cultural exchange as well as serve the large Muslim section of your populace.

We sincerely hope the idea of exchange is embraced.
Peace be upon your Nation.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diplomatic Relations.
