Indonesia

Chile have recently agreed to release regions to Australia in a process to restore our relationship and move Australia to the point where we can join them in the Circle of Trust alliance.

Indonesia have subsequently approached Australia and demanded Western Australia. In principal, as long as Australia can maintain three (3) regions for Congress Elections, we have no problem with an ally benefiting from surplus resources. Indonesia have refuse compensation of any sort and demand immediate compliance with their demands.



Australia asked for a region swap of Papua for Western Australia (Rubber for Salt peter) so that we can gain a 2nd weapon resource and maintain our number of congress seats with the understanding that we return it when Chile return Queensland (Rubber) to Australia.
Indonesia said no.

Australia asked for a region swap of Lesser Sunder Islands for Western Australia (Rubber for Fish) so that we can gain a near useless food resource and maintain our number of congress seats with the understanding that we return it when Chile return Queensland (Rubber) to Australia.
Indonesia said no.

Australia asked for them to at least pay some rent.
Indonesia said no.

Australia asked for them to at least pay us for lost MPPs.
Indonesia said no.

Australia asked for a written agreement and time to discuss it with our Senate, CoT SG, Chile, Brazil and USA.
Indonesia said no.



Essentially, Indonesia wish to take Western Australia as their own regardless of consequences to Australia. This is the old Indonesia Australia know so very well. Australia is dissappointed that our long efforts to build a mutually beneficial relationship are being scuttled by the current Indonesia administration in favour of a petty, short term gain.

We thought we were all past this.
We thought that we were treating with friends.
We thought more of Indonesia.



Indonesia is single handedly undermining Australia's entry into CoT and our relationship with Chile for short-term personal gain. Is this really how you build a circle of trust? Slow down, take in the sun, and build a proper relationship.

Update 1: Indonesian President Def0 has generously given us 24 hours to comply on condition Australia doesn't MPP Chile before the invasion thus effectively forcing us to break our treaty with Chile.

Update 2: The Indonesian perspective.

Update 3: Australia renew their MPP with Chile as per Clause III-1-3 lest we both face invasion by CoT, USA as per Clause V.

Update 4:
