THE HAUTERRE TIMES

Tobias Wilson was today officially sworn in as the President of The United Socialist States of Hauterre (herein reffered to as USSH) in an historic move that marks the end of a decade of bloody civil war in the country. President Wilson was a key leader in the Revolutionist Movement that fought hard to overthrow the corrupt and tyanneous reigime of Abdullah Musharraf that stretched over 6 nations. Musharraf's dictatorial leadership of these nations has been cut back over the last 12 months and was finally ended on the steps of the Hauterrian Parliament today as the USSH, formed from 3 of the nations formerly under the dictator's rule, became the last to declare independence.

Formed from the former nations of Hylberta, Allia and Urian, the USSH holds strong pacifist and socialist values and is proud of its roots in a People's Revolution. President Wilson was almost unanimously elected by a popular vote with a remarkable 100% turnout after he served as a leader in the Revolutionist Movement against Musharraf and was seen as a figurehead of hope for millions of oppressed people.

After the Revolutionists in each of the three states voted to form the USSH there seemed to be only one person who would be fitting to take the stand as President and Tobias Wilson duly took that honour. He himself comes from Hylberta, whose capital Kyria will henceforth be the USSH capital, but has vowed to rule by popular consent with the best interests of everyone in the USSH at the heart of everything he does.

3 million people converged in Kyria today to witness the declaration of independence, an event that just 18 months ago seemed an impossible dream. The millions were crying tears of joy as the nations flag, an amalgamation of the flags of the three states, was raised above Parliament and as President Wilson took to the stage to address the people he was met by an ovation lasting a full ten minutes.

"It is almost impossible to put into words what Tobias Wilson has done for this country and all its people and the hope that he gave us all through the darkest days of dictatorship", said one spectator summing up the mood of the entirity of the USSH. Wilson, who was regularly imprisoned and tortured by the Musharraf regime, declared that "This is an historic day not just for the people of our new nation but for people in general. We have shown in the face of unimaginable adversity what the strength of people can do and us being able to stand here today in the sunshine of a new dawn is testement to the power of the people. This nation will emerge from the dust and rise as a beacon of hope, democracy and true Socialism for all of the oppressed peoples of the world. From The People Comes The Revolution, From The Revolution Emerges The People."

President Wilson has named some of the members of his cabinet from the 250 Members of Parliament who all stood in support of the Wilson Presidency giving a unique situation of a completely democratic state with no official politcal parties. Wilson has announced that he will henceforth represent a Socialist Party of Hauterre (SPH) and has welcomed all politicians and citizens to join or form their own political parties.

The President also announced that the two official languages of the USSH would be English and French and that the state would be entirely secular.

At the time of writing the Government of the USSH consisted of-

President Tobias Wilson
Vice President Sophia LeMont
Foreign Secretary David Justin
Home Secretary Hilary Kane
Diplomatic Relations Secretary Timothy LeBrun
Secretary for Hylberta Hannah Montfort
Secretary for Allia Richard Dennis
Secretary for Uria Joanna Masion

Greetings, and welcome to the international stage!

We would like to extend our hand in friendship to the United Socialist States, indeed, our nations are not that different, we also started like you, small and idealistic... ah, the old days.

Still, it'd do you good to know what a violent world this is, very dangerous for our socialist kind. Thus, we would like to invite you to join the Soviet Commonwealth (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=535079), one of the newest (yet already quite influential) alliances.

We await your answer.

FROM: Robert Donovan, Foreign Minister, Commonwealth of Tolvan

RE: Your nation's emergence

While the Commonwealth has no love for dictatorships, we hold socialist nations in only slightly higher esteem. As a result the Commonwealth neither recognizes nor sanctions your nation's government. Any trade from Hauterre will be bound by the same 7.5% tariff imposed on imports on from other socialist nations and all immigration between our nations will be closely regulated.

We have quarrel with you, however due to your misguided political and economic beliefs normal relations are impossible at this time.

DICTATORSHIP OF GREAL

Dear Mr Will Riddle,
Whilst we appreciate you nations offer of friendship and accept, it is my duty to express our Government's reservations about the dictatorial nature of your Government. That said we have no desire to become actively aggressive towards your Government unless any humanitarian crisis in Greal were to reach such a point that it was immorral for us not to intervene.

It is therefore with respect that I say that our nations shall have a peaceful relationship but I cannot in all conscience condone your government.


LIBERAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF BRYDOG

Secretary Lichtenburg,

It is with great pleasure that I accept you kind acknowledgement and I hope that a strong diplomatic relationship will develop between our two great nations.


COMMONWEALTH OF TOLVAN

Mr Donovan,

I must express concern about the openly hostile nature of your reaction to my nation's independence. Whilst the Government of the USSH does not hold much stall with right-wing governments we do not under any circumstances refuse to recognise the democratically elected leadership of any country. The idea, therefore, that simply because the politics of a nation emerging from the ashes of decades of right-wing oppression are not in agreement with your own you will refuse to recognise its government is absurd and one which we see as openly hostile.

Therefore, I am duty bound by politics and conscience to demand that you either recognise our legitimate government or face mounting consequences.



Yours In Peace

RE: Recoginition

The Commonwealth bears no hostility towards your government for its political and economic beliefs, as misguided and flawed as they may be, and it will not be coerced or threatened into doing so.

Do not mistake the Commonwealth's neutrality for weakness. While we harbor no ill will towards your nation at present if you continue along this bellicose and foolhardy course it is you who will face consequences.

Consider your response carefully, for you stand to lose much if you do not.

From: Republic of Prestonia

Welcome to the world comrades. While we are a federalist republic, we put strong emphasis on social welfare as I am sure your nation does. We have much in common comrades, for we also arose as a socialist nation. There is one key thing we would like to address. As you are well aware, this world of ours does not take kindly to socialism. Any nation holding this philosophy must have a strong military and strong friends. To that end, we are offering you two things. The first is an offer to send 5,000 soldiers to your nation along with supplies to train and equip your military. The second is an invitation to an alliance of ours. You are hereby invited to join the United Federation of Allied Nations. UFAN is committed to human rights, peace, and the belief that all humans are created equal. If your nation ascribes to these beliefs, we cordially invite you to join our ranks.

Yours in Friendship,
Pres. Justin Gannon

FOR THE URGENT AND IMMEDIATE ATTENTION OF ROBERT DONOVAN OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF TOLVAN FORIEGN MINISTRY

Mr Donovan,
It is with mounting unease that I issue my Government's response to your latest communication.

Not only did the President and his Government view your first reaction to our nation's freedom as openly hostile, we see this latest attempt at disguising that fact more so.

Your use of infammatory language such as 'bellicose' and 'foolhardy' will not be tolerated and, despite being a newly emerged nation, we will not be bullied into compliance with the world's less than reputable Governments.

I hereby issue the Commonwealth of Tolvan with an ultimatum- you either back down from the hostile postion you are holding towards our Government or you face mounting consequences. I sincerely hope that you do what is right and use your international muscle not to try and dominate other nations but to ensure peace.

Please do not take this issue lightly, Mr Donovan, for the consequences of underestimation are grave indeed.

Yours,
David Justin MP
Foreign Secretary of the USSH

*Official Communique to the United Socialist States of Hauterre*

Foreign Affairs Board (FABPACUN)

Dear President Wilson:

The Communal Union of Noveta recognizes the independence and existence of the United Socialist States of Hauterre (USSH) and wishes to develop further diplomatic, social, cultural and economic relations with the United Socialist States of Hauterre (USSH) in the future.

We are giving this recognition while taking into account of the fact that we ourselves recently obtained our independence from our cruel and oppressive French-speaking masters after seventeen years of war and violence. We are also giving this recognition while operating under the point of view that this is a continuation of the revolutionary wave that has been sweeping the world and that is replacing the domination of Capitalism over the world with the will of the people and their desire to totally control both the means of production and the private property that the means of production exist upon.

In Solidarity,
Maurice Dumont
Chief Diplomat of the Foreign Affairs Board (FABPACUN)
Port-de-Révolution, Communal Union of Noveta

**OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE**

TO: David Justin, Foreign Secretary of the USSH
FROM: Robert Donovan, Foreign Minister, Commonwealth of Tolvan

RE: Recognition

As the Honourable Mr. Justin appears to have subpar reading abilities this message will make use of considerably simplier language.

The Commonwealth has interest in your nation's internal affairs, not what system of government you have have chosen. However, the Commonwealth will not recognize your government simply because you demand that we do.

We will however give one final warning, it is not wise to threaten nation's far larger than your own. The Commonwealth has and will continue to exercise great restraint in this matter, but had your Foreign Secretary spoke so brazenly to certain other nation's in the world your tiny nation would have been burnt to ash long ago. Therefore, I humbly suggest that the USSH refrain from further "ultimatums" and that you remove the incompetent fool you currently pass off as a Foreign Secretary. If you do not I fear you will find the results most unsavory.
