The Asia Pacific Alliance and its Purpose
Xavier Griffith
The Asia Pacific Alliance
As the Interim Chancellor of the Asia Pacific Alliance, I felt it was time to come forward and discuss a little about what it is and stands for.
There has been much discussion in the eWorld regarding the APA, some good, some neutral, and some, especially by eArgentina, which is just plain outright Lies. So, I thought it was time for a small article to discuss a bit about it, what it stands for and what its aim or goals are. That should then put the minds of EDEN and TERRA High Commands at ease and it will outline exactly what it stands for and no other nation can spread lies about it and eAustralia's involvement like eArgentina has done.
The APA's main Purpose is outlined specifically in its Charter - Article II –Purpose:
The Asia Pacific Alliance shall be for the purpose of Defence of its Member Nations under the terms and conditions of this Charter as outlined below:
1) to form a solid and lasting Asia Pacific Alliance of Nations, in the Defence of each Member Nations Regions.
2) to defend each Member Nations right to maintain and continue to govern over its own Regions.
3) to present a platform for Member Nations to discuss peacefully and diplomatically any differences between them.
4) to discuss Trade and other intelligence, diplomatic and foreign policy affecting Member Nations.
5) While the Alliance and its Members do not seek to enter conflict, the Alliance will stand as one against any aggression towards Members in Defence of their Sovereign Regions.
6) Member Nations also agree, that in attacking another nation, they shall always ensure that one (1) Sovereign Region remains to them.
It should be noted here, that the APA is not an Alliance of war first and formost, but is based on regional Union, United Action, Diplomacy and Defence of Member Nations Sovereign Regions.
It over looks the Old World views of ONE, TERRA and EDEN. The Alliance is not concerned about which alliance you may be in or have been in prior to membership in the APA, provided you understand that acting against another member of the Alliance will call down the full alliance membership upon your nation. Acting against another nation that is not a member of the Alliance in an unprovoked attack will leave you alone, as your internal politics are your own.
Unlike other Alliances, no single Member Nation can control the whole Alliance. Every Member Nation within the Alliance has an equal voice, no nation has more or less of a voice because they may be bigger or smaller than another nation. The APA will not dictate what MPPs Member Nations may choose to have by its elected Government and will not interfer in the internal politics of any Member Nation, but will act diplomatically should issues arise. A war footing by the Alliance and its members would be a last resort.
eAustralia's membership in the Asia Pacific Alliance is NOT based on ONE, TERRA or even EDEN alliances. eAustralia, while generally Pro-TEDEN is more interested in forging ahead with regional stability in the Asia Pacific Region, its the reason it was one of the first Members. eAustralia is not concerned with nations that are members of the APA that are or were Pro-ONE or not, what matters to eAustralia is regional stability and Regional Unity with the ability for Member Nations to exist in the World, even if only with one region, which is one of the main points of the APA Charter. Be the new members to the Alliance Pro-ONE, or Pro-TEDEN, the ultimate decision of who will have membership is based on a vote of the Member Nations of the APA, not one individual nation or other Alliance.
If nations are interested in finding out more about the APA and membership, the Charter can be seen here: http://apa.auserepublik.com/index.php?topic=6.0
If Nations have questions, then the Country President is free to contact me either via eRepublik or via IRC on the Rizon Server. Xavier_Griffith on IRC and I'm usually in the #APAPublic room.

Xavier, no offense, but even as a supporter of eAus, this basically comes across as saying, we're going to make an alliance that might include members of ONE or EPIC - BUT WE AREN'T PRO ONE OK GUIZ?
We asked China straight off the bat to join. They were not interested at that stage and I've mentioned it to you as well Oblige.
It probably will include ONE, EPIC, TEDEN members Oblige, but its not about those old alliances, its about a new Regional alliance that members in the regional will see things within their own regions first, not second as happens in most of the other Alliances.
I voted this fail.
😁^ coming from an eArgetinian liar and the next CP of eArgentina, who I know dispises TEDEN and seeks only eArgentinian imperialism that does not surprise me.
BTW, we know what your planning with eChile 🙂
Its a great idea and its going along fine, But my main concern is that will it achive its goal or will it turn out like Sol?
wow.. conratulations Xavier

If this idea is success can re-order the eWorld

I just want to develop better relations with some of our Asian neighbours. This is a good start.
eAustralia is unique to most countries in the New World. It's geographically isolated between old feuds, downright enemies and allies just trying to catch a break. The T-EDEN/ONE/EPIC politics isn't even relevant in the Pacific region today. Have a heart, big countries! This doesn't have to be acrimonious. We're not out to hurt countries - we're after friendship in a highly difficult geo-political and regional make-up.
APA is a big step in that positive direction.
Agree with TJ, for too long the eurocentric alliances have been exporting their conflicts to their allies around the world, we will fight in your wars in your territory but we will not be used as punching bags or distractions any more.

DEATH TO ARGENTINA!
I am sorry but Peru has always attacked Brazil on enemies behalf. It is not of our interest, to have them free to do as they like. They are a potential threat to us, it has always been so. If this alliance do not change some pro-ONE countries minds this alliance will be considered a beligerant alliance. If New Zealand was not full of Serbs, I would understand this attitude towards Argentina. But as it happens it is. So I do not understand, only that maybe this is your way to avert Indonesia´s attention Southwards.
So in short, APA is Sol Alliance 2.0?
If Peru attack Brazil, a long time Ally of Aus there will be repercussions. This is not about allowing nations to expand their borders, only to allow them the choice and freedom in our region.
Adriana, still you look at the old concepts of ONE and TEDEN. This isn't about ONE and TEDEN, this is about Regional Security and unity. For too long eurocentric nations have kept our region fighting against itself, its time for peace and unity and the ability to choose for ourselves what we want to do as a region not what the European nations want us to do.
