To the Nations of the World,
At the command of the President-Imperial I have opened up the Office of Cultural Exchange so that our government officials might exchange information about our respective nations in a direct fashion in the interest of promoting stronger ties with the international communities. Through this forum, government officials, respected journalists, and interested scholars may directly ask questions of the government of the Free Federation, with the hope of promoting direct, objective answers. Questions of particular interest may be forwarded to the President-Imperial, but the majority of questions will be answered by the newly appointed Director of Cultural Exchange A. Lynn. Below are a set of rules offering guidance to potential queries:Below you will find an objective summary of the Federation created through a collaboration of scholars.
- All requests sent to the Office should include a question and the identity of the interested parties; anonymous queries may be submitted only using the form attached at the bottom of this message. In general, simple questions should be submitted through the form, and will be answered as a batch. More complex questions should accompany a more formal letter.
- Questions asking the Federation's opinion on some highly specific topic (e.g. a particular nation or leader) should be accompanied with information describing the topic

Brief Summary of the Golden Lands
The Free Federation of the Golden Lands (shortened to Goldsaver) is a constitutional democratic federation consisting of nine city states, with an inclination towards humanitarian interventions. More pragmatically, the Federation approaches foreign policy with the goal of creating and maintaining a liberal democratic order. The Federation maintains a large stockpile of nuclear weapons, with the express purpose of deterrirng the use of WMDs against the Federation or their allies.
Historically, the Federation was once organized as a constitutional monarchy, but was reformed into a democratic federation in 2000 under a new constitution. Economically, policies are mostly left to city states, where systems ranging from a socialistic welfare state to a mostly laissez-faire capitalist system (with a safety net) can be identified. The Golden Lands are rich in natural resources, particularly oil and minerals.
The Federation has a population of about 300 million, and is quite prosperous economically.
The Federation was originally founded by a great hero, the legendary Emperor Akait, who lead an effort to throw back foreign conquerors and establish the Golden Lands as an independent nation, over a thousand years. In the present day, the Federation is lead by the President-Imperial, who is elected by a great council of representatives from all of the City-States to serve a single, ten year term. As part of the office, the President-Imperial casts aside gendered terms and selects a new name to grace their office. The current President-Imperial is Sekrit Melis, who was elected in 2010 with two years remaining in their term.
