Federation of Caelapes
Overseas Department Programme

The Overseas Department Programme, launched in week one, Q1 FY08 (Oct. ‘07) by the Caelapene Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the Whitney administration, is a programme through which the Federation of Caelapes will act as a guiding hand for young, tumultuous nations; a valuable aid for more matured nations; and a strong commercial and military ally to yet older nations. Instead of forming simply another military alliance with convoluted systems of bureaucracy and laborious politics, the Overseas Department programme is aimed at integrating separate nations in a strong, close-knit, and citizen-driven federation. Member departments retain the right to govern themselves as they choose, to a certain—and quite liberal—extent, and are suited to reap wide benefits. As a military, political, and economic alliance, the Caelapes Overseas Department programme is aimed at providing member departments with a platform from which to develop further relations within the programme and with alliances that other member departments are party to. Unlike an imperialist or colonial agenda, the Federation of Caelapes does not make an attempt to control the government or populus of a member department. All member departments may send representatives to the Caelapene Parliament, or choose to discuss relevant issues with their local Overseas Departmental Affairs Director. Membership within the Overseas Department Programme is entirely voluntary and is not forced upon any member department or prospective member department.

If you are a government official of a nation that you think could benefit from entering the Overseas Department Programme, then we ask you to keep reading. Follow text describes the cessions necessary to join and benefits gained from joining the programme. If you do not feel as though your nation would benefit from an alliance of this nature, we fully understand your position and thank you, on the behalf of the Caelapene Government, for taking the time to read this brochure. If you would prefer to initiate more conventional diplomatic relations with the Federation of Caelapes, please make contact with our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Overseas Department Programme is by no means the only component to Caelapene diplomacy. We also feature embassies, foreign missions, consulates, or simple economic agreements with various nations not involved in any way with the Overseas Department Programme.
