Public Reply to the President of CAPINTERN &c.
As the fourth biggest supporter of CAPINTERN by a wide margin (by annual contributions), having agreed to host a CAPINTERN base, and as a decidedly capitalist nation by disposition and foreign policy, we would like to call into question the basis for these bewilderingly and suspiciously inaccurate accusations.
For a start, these accusations are factually wrong, in that the Ausitorian government was one of the first nations to recognize the change of government in Aravea by recognizing the new government’s voting power in the IFC. The Ausitorian government also refrained from issuing any show of support to the ousted (democratic social-liberal) government, except by demanding open and free elections to avoid the possibility of the post-coup government becoming a fascist or nazi nation, a type which the Capitalist Internationale is and should remain rightly opposed too, as per the second membership requirement.
As for Ausitoria’s foreign policy, it has never been the policy of the Ausitorian government to threaten neighbouring states with nuclear warfare. Presumably this misunderstanding has arisen in light of a much misunderstood memo on the subject (finally becoming better understood in Hemithea), which is an impartial note on the danger of escalation, written shortly after a time when nuclear powers in Hemithea were in grave danger of going to war, and designed primarily to be read by equally impartial members of the strategic intelligentsia. The theory is fairly simple and widely agreed on: in any war, a miscalculation by either side can lead to the war acquiring relatively more importance, and this process can repeat until one side or the other reaches a position whereby they can destroy the other, potentially triggering last-resort responses and the end of life as we know it. It is a very touchy matter for discussion but must be treated with responsibility and maturity while humanity continues to walk the tightrope.
As a result of this memo, Ausitoria has renounced initiating war against any powers capable of posing any strategic threat to Ausitoria, to avoid the mere possibility of miscalculation; and peace has effectively been restored to Hemithea, by reminding all powers of the danger of misunderstandings in a trigger-happy world. War of all sorts and the possibility of escalation has become significantly less likely. We should hope that such a successful communique would have received applause!
Having thus addressed these libelous allegations, if this explanation does not speedily satisfy the curiosity of members, we must move on to consider what possible diplomatic motives might have inspired these ridiculous attacks.
Let us start by reiterating that Ausitoria is a strong supporter of this organization. It is not only a direct supporter, but is also a great supporter of capitalism in the wider sphere, having formed and led a Capitalist Coalition to victory in Hemithea; and even going so far as encouraging several socialist nations in Hemithea to adopt free-market reforms. Ausitoria has sponsored multiple free-trade organizations. This solid capitalist record in itself should put Ausitoria almost beyond reproof.
However, it is also no secret that the government of the recent applicant (perhaps suspiciously rapidly) the Dai Nihon Teikkoku dislikes the Ausitorian government for its relatively liberal brand of capitalism. Nor is it any secret that their government is anti-liberal, fascist, nazi, and racist; frequently declaring their racial superiority and having founding an Asiatic organization based purely on race. Indeed, we are highly surprised by their admittance to this organization. This accusation, also taken in light of Allania’s use of CAPINTERN funds without reference to the wider organization, would seem indicative of a conspiracy, of which the Allanean government is either accidentally or maliciously a party too, and we must question whether that is the direction that fellow Alliance members wishes this Alliance to take.
Capitalists can be naturally divided on a spectrum ranging from the socially liberal to the socially conservative; and then on to fascism and tyranny. Many members of the Capitalist Internationale may not be as socially liberal as Ausitoria, but a prolonged attempt to remove the remaining vestiges of the liberal capitalist wing might be taken as a draconian attempt to divide us Capitalists to the benefit of the totalitarian states that we are supposed to be completely and totally opposed too.
An attempt to drive out liberal capitalists from this alliance and so divide the capitalist camp would not only be terrifically unfair, but it would be terribly unwise.
We therefore trust any dastardly ploy and this absurd accusation will be speedily discontinued and withdrawn.
IEn have the great honour to remain,
His Imperial Highness Richard Henry Kazpia
