[FPPCIE]

Excellent. I'm glad we are friendly enough to even have this dialogue. I've flown in a group of FM citizens, randomly selected. They have several questions for each of the regions/nations here. But, before we begin, I'd like to ask if anyone ahas any questions for the FPPCIE, FM, or DuCont territory, feel free to ask. I'll answer as freely as

My Board of International Relations

I possibly can.

[BFU]

Questions for FPPCIE/DuCont:

What are the aims of FPPCIE foreign policy at the present time?

What do you have to say about the earlier alleged remarks made about the intention of DuCont? ("Ferus and I made an alliance against Pinda and Boba")

Does the statement in Article 3 of the treaty ("authorises on any military/civilian targets") mean that the FPPCIE would endorse genocide committed by its allies as it did before?

Does the statement in Article 3 of the treaty ("authorises on any military/civilian targets") mean that the FPPCIE would endorse genocide committed by its allies as it did before?

The Grand CEO nervously glances at this advisors. They nod and all give two thumbs up.
"Well, our foreign policy through the years has always been pretty much the same. Scare everyone else into peace. Nowadays, we see a more practical approach. A thorough alliance system and interregional communication promote FeruMavian values such as Economic Prosperity, Peace, and Freedom for all who stand with us.

As for the previously mentioned statement, we like to account for overzealousness of our allies. DuCont poses no threat to anyone as long as our ideals and territory our respected and unchallenged.

We do not endorse genocide, but we realize that in times of war, often the fastest way to peace is unfortunately the loss of life, non-discriminant of job, age, or anything else.

The interviewers were satisfied with the first two responses... for the most part. However the same couldn't be said for the third answer. They asked: "But surely, like any civilised country, the taking of innocent life is a last resort is it not? As a member of the World Assembly nations like yours must stand at the forefront of the opposition to genocide, whatever the justifications may be."

After the above question is addressed. You may ask any questions you like about the BFU.

A college student from Profitia majoring in Infrastrucutre development stumbled to the microphone.

"Um, like, my question is about, like, the Invictus Wall. Like, what every happened to that?"
A political analyst for one of the FPPCIE's leading newspapers followed.

"Are there any reactionary alliances for the BFU in the works?"

[BFU]

The Invictus Wall, which runs across the Pindian and FPPCIE borders , still stands. However, the King's spending cuts mean that the garrisons on the walls have been reduced from 125,000 to 75,000 . Of course, as the country is in a state of mobilisation now, that number is far higher at the moment. As you know The Invictus Wall used to have three lines of forts/defenses, but this was too expensive and so now it only has two.

We're not sure what you mean by reactionary alliances (if you could elaborate a bit more that'd be great). But the jingoistic Nationalist movement has quite a large following at the moment and the Communists are operating abroad.

I mean alliances that are being create as a direct result of The DuCont Alliance?

And why are you mobilized?

And why are you mobilized?

In direct result of the DuCont? The answer to that would be no. Agreements with other nations have been in the works, that the BFU will acknowledge, but negotiations started before DuCont was even created. The creation of DuCont sped up the process of these agreements however.

The BFU is mobilised because it believes there are threats to its safety. The King may or may not gear this mobilisation down.

The creation of DuCont sped up the process of these agreements however.

The BFUian Military and Economists have made an assessment on the DuCont alliance... The results of their investigations have yet to be finalised.

Wise answer.

What exactly are you implying?

[FPPCIE]

Wise answer.

What exactly are you implying?

Nothing at all. How can we work together to make sure DuCont is seen as non threatening?

[BFU]

That is hard to answer. Like I said, we are still reviewing our investigations. Still in the meantime, His Majesty has... a strange offer. As you know the BFU clashed with Canisiuso not too long ago. After communication problems the war ground to a halt. However to this day no treaty was ever signed. As a result, we would like to offer the FPPCIE a deal that will finally settle this matter. To truly show that our two countries are serious about building good relations despite our checkered history.

- Both countries will pay compensation to families affected by the execution of POWs and casualties in the ensuing war.
- A mass will be held in the new BFUian Cathedral in memory of those who died before and during the Canisiuso war.
- The person who ordered the executions (we assume former Canisiuso Leader) which sparked the crisis will publicly apologise for his/her grievous sin. Preferably this person should be tried for his crime to show true repentance and wish for rapprochement.

The Grand CEO sees nothing wrong with these terms. But, the only thing he asks, is why not an execution of Canisiuso's former leader, Emperor Petro Canisiuso IX? Surely it would be easier than a trial. Of course, it's all up to you.

There are some people in His Majesty's court who feel the same way. However, the right to free trial is one of the BFU's proudest traditions & only terrorists are denied that right. Therefore, the Emperor shall be tried in one of our courts as soon as it is possible.

If you have any other BFU related questions, feel free to ask them now.

[Pindian Republic]

The Pindian Council has selected a representative to attend diplomatic meetings like these for the Pindian Republic. This representative is now present on this Diplomatic Meeting.

[FPPCIE]

A national manhunt is underway for the Emperor. Gave us a slip it seems. But, I'm sure we'll find him before the day is out. A question for all of us: There has been a recent spike in nationalism in FeruMavian teens after the popular rock song "We're the Purest in the World" by the band Crush the Opposition. This generation was the one to grow up during the GC-FM War, and as you know, their generation was one to receive very heavy amounts of propagand. Now as they are maturing, and forming their own views, the teens have a frightening worldview. In a recent poll sent around FM schools asking for the teenager worldview the results were as follows.
1. Profitism is the only valid and true political ideal.
2. The revival of Nova Roma is inevitable.
3. The BFU is an aggressive power that only wants territory.
4. The PR is a useless nation that contributes nothing to the world, therefore all Pindians need to be cleansed.
5. A Revival of Former FPPCIE glory is needed.

Normally, if it was a small enough group, I would simply eliminate the problem all together, but 37% of the 42, 857, 000 teens hold these views. What would be a non-violent way to handle this? "Re-Education" Camps? Counter-Brainwashing? I would appreciate all of your opinions, but I know the PR is a leading force for education in Purasia, so I assume they would have the best answer.

[Gourmand]

A fat, small man entered the room with a walking cane in hand. He carelessly ignored the "no smoking" and called a meekish slave to fetch his cigars while another found a comfy pillow so that he could sit down. "Find me a pillow worth more than 5 million dollars that I can sit on! Come on now chop chop!

"Attention FPPCIE! Gourmand has a solution to your teen problems! You (the Grand CEO) yourself are the cause for their brainwashing. Therefore you must change their ways. Publicly denounce them and say that they are wrong. Also, while you're at it you can arrest any teen who doesn't cooperate and send them to Gourmandian schools. Trust me, it'll set those brats straight. They'll be out in two weeks and totally different people! Productive and docile."

He turned to the rest of the representatives... "Now... what do all you economic basket cases want to ask the prosperous Gourmand?"

[The Siblings]

The poll needs an option saying, "Yes, military spending should be increased, but in other countries, as we already spend enough in ours."

[BFU]

The poll needs an option saying, "Yes, military spending should be increased, but in other countries, as we already spend enough in ours."

Done.

[Pindian Republic]

The poll needs an option saying, "Yes, military spending should be increased, but in other countries, as we already spend enough in ours."

But why would you want other countries to increase military spending?

I don't think it's a surprise what option I went with.

[Newan]

The Empire of Newan will continue spending on military whenever needed. Though recent events have called for increase to Education and other less funded areas.
