The U.S.S.C.F. Emerges from Isolationism
« on: February 15, 2007, 02:24:33 AM »
To all other nations and their leaders:

I am Matthias Collier, High Chancellor of the recently instated Confederate Democratic Socialist Parliament of the states of Confederate Freedom. Only recently have we been able to fully restore stability and stifle all remaining inner conflict between the people and the few corrupt and elitist capitalist entities that were left; now that full peace and stability has been restored, the people of this Confederacy have petitioned the Parliament which, after many hours of council and debate, have taken confidence in my agreement with the people that the State must begin to look beyond its own borders, to other nations that may aid us, and that our State can give aid to, as the United Socialist States of Confederate Freedom, effective after a twenty-four hour period, finally emerges free from the former isolationist policies of our predecessor-government, the corrupted Confederate Republic (which has now been removed from power).

Our nation takes pride in a number of plentiful and useful resources, such as lumber, coal, cobalt, and copper ore. Our grain industries are also worthwhile, such as rye, wheat and hops. For decades now, the Confederacy has been mostly self-reliant, but in these modern times, any nation that wishes to prosper and reach its fullest and greatest potential MUST be involved in relations with other nations, such as trade, foreign aid, commerce and legal emigration. In a secondary selection of international relations, our nation takes pride in our military, which is always ready with a sufficient personnel, and enjoys advanced, modern equipment and excellent training; if the need for military aid is requested, the people are willing to allow the State to supply it in reasonable degrees, pending that the request is indeed justified.

As we also possess a small stretch of coastline on our northwestern border, our nation, and the few port cities it possesses, are in desperate need, causing an outcry for increased shipping of exports, imports, and marine travel. Advancements in marine technology is slow, and our navies (both commercial and military) is in need of an increased supply of fundings and personnel, as well as much-needed improvements in development of naval technology. The State is willing to engage in negotiations for the retrieval of such useful advancements, as well as the reciprocation required for such, as an advanced shipping industry and navy would be vital in the improvement of our nation's economy and security.

As High Chancellor of the Parliament, I give to you, the leaders of other great nations, the golden opportunity to better the conditions of living for your people and ours, as well as create alliances and international relationships that will only better secure the peace and prosperity of our nations.

I await any and all responses with trepidation.

Sincerely,
Matthias Collier, High Chancellor of USSCF and Herald of the Confederate Democratic Socialists' Party.

Though the Myrorian government considers socialism and communism to be failed systems of economy, we will provide you with 10,000,000 (~20,000,000 USD) Kolonialreich marks if you allow Myrorian Catholic missionaries to enter your country freely and spread their beliefs.

To: Matthias Collier, High Chancellor of USSCF and Herald of the Confederate Democratic Socialists' Party

Due to the troubled political situation in my country, where two governments claim sovereignty and one government is split between two groups, Gallipoli-China is unable to issue an official declaration of support of or opposition to your nation at this time.  Furthermore, most leaders of the Gallipoli-China Democratic Socialist Party are members of the National Workers' Council, and fear that any statement made by them will be construed as official policy.  I have been instructed to write this by these members, as I am not a member of the Council, and therefore can speak only for my Party, and not for my Government.

First, let me say that my Party fully expects this situation to be temporary; the Fascists in the west will fall, and the bourgeois-controlled Parliament will collapse; it does not command the loyalty of the people.  When this happens, our objective in foreign policy will be to build relations with the socialist states of Taijitu.  To that end, I wish to propose an agreement beforehand, so as to avoid lengthy and time-consuming negotiations when my Party comes to power, and to solidify a Socialist bloc with no waiting period.

Our objectives are
  • free trade between all socialist nations
  • military assistance agreements to prevent imperialist intervention
  • technological and scientific knowledge sharing
  • mutual economic assistance in times of trouble
  • free travel between all socialist nations
  • united foreign policy

I have been instructed to propose a meeting between any diplomat of yours and myself.  My party has drawn up a draft for such an agreement, and my comrades wish that I propose it to you.

Let me congratulate you on your successful revolution.

In solidarity
Viktor Debs

I will gladly make arrangements for a meeting between the two of us in which the Confederate Ambassador, Johannes Kroenher, will accompany me. The meeting may take place at the place and time of your choosing. Should you wish it take place within Confederate borders, I will immediately arrange any and all means of transportation that you require. I am glad our two nations can undertake diplomatic relations with little delay.

I await your response and our subsequent meeting with eager anticipation.

Best Professional and Personal Regards,

We think Socialismus is a great thing, but you will need to mix it up with Capitalism.
To help your nation, we are sending 100.000 sharrays to you (about 100.000 €).

I feel that our interests may be best served if I travel to your Confederacy, rather than if you and your colleague travel to Gallipoli-China.  It would be better to maintain secrecy until the last possible moment, as the Parliament is still in existance.  You need not worry; I will provide my own transportation to your nation, though your kind offer is accepted regarding transportation withing your borders, and, I assume, accomidations.

Your financial aid is most accepted, and will be placed to the benefit of our Social Welfare programs. I personally thank you for your aid to the people.


Though the Myrorian government considers socialism and communism to be failed systems of economy, we will provide you with 10,000,000 (~20,000,000 USD) Kolonialreich marks if you allow Myrorian Catholic missionaries to enter your country freely and spread their beliefs.

It is the opinion of the Confederate State and People that religion is a private concern, not something to be funded by the public taxes; consequentially, the use of religious status for diplomatic reasons is considered outdated, null and void in our State. If missionaries are going to place churches or hold religious teachings within our borders, they will have to gain Confederate citizenship, like all other immigrants.

I agree with your assessment. I will arrange a transfer point at the Confederate borders, provided with a full escort; they will accompany you to the nearest train station, from where a private train will immediately transport you to our nation's capital of Einheit. Private accomodations of the utmost quality available will be supplied for you at the guest wing of a private estate supplied by the Party and the State, where I and several Party Chairmen reside when not busy with the affairs of state.

I await your arrival.

Sincerely,
Matthias Collier

Von: Mercurus Fliegfuss, Dep. Communikation

     Congratulations, Nachbar (neighbor), on achieving independence. We, the Constitutional Monarchy of Talstadt, would like to send a few representatives to possibly meet and discuss any proposals.
     Although we do not consider socialism to actually be effective on a large scale, we do have a Socialist party based in Segelnburg (West coast).

Hope to meet with you soon.

First, let me personally thank you for your correspondence. Though much of the Confederate populace views Monarchy in general as an outdated form of government, a Constitutional Monarchy at least has an official Constitution with the approval of the people stamped upon it. I am most pleased that you have contacted me; public opinion polls and ballots throughout our nation has shown that an overwhelming majority of our people clearly demand the instigation of diplomatic and other forms of relationship with our noble neighbor-state to the west, as our peoples share the same native German tongue (though today, all but a literal handful of Confederate citizens are fluent in reading, writing and speaking both German and Inglish), and perhaps still share some cultural similarities as well. Let me say that it would be a pleasure and an honor to invite you to our prosperous State, that you may have confidence in your neighbor-nation, and more importantly begin diplomatic relations and negotiations, from which the resolutions, thereof, both  our virtuous nations may stand together with pride in our shared cultural and linguistic heritage, and stand before the world as proof that our peoples, despite being governed by two separate and almost oppositional forms of government, can still stand together as brothers and sisters through the undying bonds of our shared heritage.

Please keep me informed of your plans for traveling to the Confederate State, upon the retrieval of which I will immediately make all necessary arrangements to ensure expedient transportation and comfortable accomodations for your full personal use during your stay here.

I await your reply--and hopefully your subsequent arrival--with eager anticipation.

Best Personal and Professional Regards,
Matthias Collier, Herald.

Matthias Collier, High Chancellor of the Parliament and Herald of the Confederate Democratic Socialists' Party,

Then you will not recieve any aid from the Myrorian government. The missionaries would not be there permanently, but that is no matter. Not only have you disgraced common sense by giving the uneducated masses the right to govern the country rather than those graced by God Himself, but you also refuse to recognize a simple gesture of diplomacy. Not one Kolonialreich mark will be sent.

OOC: To note, if anyone would like to engage in Conference RP threads or the like, PM me and we'll discuss it. This thread is moreso to represent the correspondence between heads of state, rather than display their actual meetings and discussions.

Congratulations comrades on your successful end to your recent internal conflict, as you I'm sure know my own nation has suffered greatly due to the greed of the few.  We have little but what we have is yours if you have need.  At the moment we have no real army defense being supplied by our National Police Force, who while well trained are poorly equipped armed as they are only with small arms and light anti tank weapons (mostly of outdated design) and various citizen defense committees.  It is felt that this is not adequate for our current and future needs and a proper armed forces is required especially an air force as in this aspect we are completely lacking.  I hope to hear back from you soon.
