On behalf of the Confederate Government, I wish to announce to every interested nation on Earth that diplomatic relations with the Confederacy of Eastern Asian States, or CEAS, are now open, following the tumultuous time of its formation from several separate states in the Eastern Asian area.

A quick rundown of the Confederacy:
The Confederacy is the sum of the incorporated, previously independent states of the People's Republic of China, Japan, the Mongolian Republic, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea, as well as the Chinese Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau. As a successor to their governments, it inherits their assets. It also inherits their population - an impressive ~1.556 billion.

The capital of the Confederacy is the proud city of Beijing; its currency shall be the Chinese yuan for an interim period until a new Confederacy currency is chosen.

We at the newly formed CEAS Directorate of Foreign Affairs do believe that it can rightly be said that the Confederacy combines all the positive attributes of its component states, while almost fully disposing with the negatives, and we will do our best to work towards the further removal of said negatives.

Thank you.

刘辉
Hui Liu
Director, Confederacy Foreign Affairs

Hi. Those of you who roleplay in Future Tech may know me as Kostemetsia - I've decided to provisionally try out MT for a while; having a mostly overwhelming force advantage gets boring after a while - besides, I want to try my hand at MT diplomacy and the feel of ground battles. :D

Plus, I can't deny I like the MT community. :)

Official Communique
From: Lauren R. Smith, Secretary of State, United States of Kaydonia
To: Hui Liu, Director, Confederacy Foreign Affairs, Eastern Asian States
Subject: Opening of Relations

On behalf of Kaydonian President Kayamone Sutton, and the Kaydonian people to which he serves, I would like to extend a warm welcome to your newly formed nation into the international community. Kaydonia would like to open relations with your nation in hopes of laying ground to a peaceful and cooperative relationship between your nation and Kaydonia and perhaps rendering assistance and protection to your nation if your nation's ideals and policies align with those of the United States of Kaydonia. I eagerly await your response.

Signed,
Lauren R. Smith
Secretary of State
United States of Kaydonia

There was no denying it, GSIC was wrong-footed by the creation of this unprecedented East Asian confederation, and the Indian Soviet Commonwealth more than a little unnerved. How had the two Korea's reconciled their differences? How in the world had the Chinese and Japanese come to embrace one another? And how had Taiwan stayed out of it? It was the strangest thing since... well, since the Geletian Celts arrived in South Asia some centuries ago, laying waste to Gupta and Tamil kingdoms alike!

Still, doubts notwithstanding, it was clearly best to open contact on some level.

Portmeirion (a term loosely comparable to Whitehall in Britain or the (Moscow) Kremlin in Russia) issues a tentative reply to Hui Liu's message, requesting more information on the circumstances of the Confederacy's birth and the nature of its economic and political composition, and offering fairly non-committal greetings from the Final Soviet (based at Portmeirion, in Raipur).

(OOC: Since the Indian Soviet Commonwealth has existed since 1982, I assume that your government, no matter how new, would know about it, so I haven't included much IC information. However, the ISCBG covers what in reality would be India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, and includes a significant Celtic population which arrived centuries ago at the end of a long migration from Europe via Galatia (in modern Turkey). Today, evidently, they're Left-Communists. I tentatively use the RL approximate population of just over 1.495 billion, but haven't really committed to it and can fall back on Beth Gellert's near 12bln when dealing with states that don't restrict their populations to realistic levels.)

The Confederacy would be most honoured to open relations with the United States of Kaydonia. Do be warned, however - our policies are slightly left of centre, doubtless a hallmark of Chinese involvement.

To the honourable representative of the Commonwealth:

Over a period of slightly over twelve months, the Governments of almost all now-Confederate states collapsed into decay and anarchy through bad leadership and extremely bad decisions. China was left with the moral and ethical responsibility to bring them back from near-implosion, and did so the only possible way - by uniting all Eastern Asian nations under a single banner. China had to suffer some slight governmental reorganisation, but we would gladly do so again in order to keep this amount of stability.

Prior to the birth of the Confederacy, a conference was held among Eastern heads of state (sitting, exiled and deposed) to decide what might be done about the unfortunate governmental situation - an early form of the Confederacy was the most popular solution.

As to your enquiry on the Confederation's political and economic makeup, the Confederacy converts the former Eastern nationstates into provinces, further into prefectures, counties and townships. Provinces are overseen by their former Heads of State, and elections are to be held every four years, beginning 1 January 2010. Prefectures and counties are to be overseen by the current sitting local governments there until the end of their terms, and so on.

The economy is currently a bloc of former national economies operating under a single banner until full economic unification procedures are completed. The dominant currency unit is the Chinese yuan, slowly being replaced by the Confederate yuan, which will itself soon be replaced by a unique Confederacy currency unit.

OOC notes:
It wasn't so much a peaceful embrace of nations, more a quiet, semi-invisible rebellion in China quietly infiltrating all the other governments over the space of a few months, then destabilising them and toppling them - freeing the way for the PRC to move in and ensure stability. :p And then while the PRC is stretched out, the rebellion takes over. And thus the Confederacy is formed.

Also, embassy thread goes up soon.
