Join the new world

Greetings; I am the currently serving Ambassador to Southeast Asia, and—as far as schoolwork allows me to—will try to report about the situation in the region on a regular base.

• India

Save for the small region of North Eastern India which is still held by India, the peninsula continues to be occupied by Pakistan. The tables might slowly be turning though. India recently signed an MMP with Croatia and thus gained a powerful new ally, while Pakistani alliances start to extinguish one by one. The Indian government is investing a fair bit of money into employing the resistance in state companies and funding their soldiers’ battles; regardless of this deficit spending, slowly but steadily victory transcends from the realm of delusion into that of the likely.
As a result the past developments, India distanced Herself from Her previous policy of absolute neutrality, and is now officially leaning more towards EDEN and the Brolliance.


• Indoneſia

Indonesia currently fights on two fronts. In the north, the United States of America are making repeated incursions into the country, all of which it has been able to repel until now, albeit it lost its control over Malaysia. Meanwhile in the south, Indonesia is keeping a form hold of Western Australia, which is frequently attacked by Australia, which freed itself from an Indonesian takeover and is now going back into the offence.
Leading up to the latest congress elections, Indonesia was reported to have sent forces into Japan to take over the country, managing to seize control of many Japanese parties and occupying 9 seats in the congress. During the presidential elections, thanks to apparently bad organisation by the Japanese parties scattering votes among various candidates, despite many of the PTO forces having been banned, they nevertheless managed to ensure the election of Sugawara, a (not directly affiliated) pro‐Phoenix person hostile to Japan and Her interests.


• Malayſia

After a long period of partial to complete occupation by Serbia and Indonesia, Malaysia has returned to the map. Owing to the intervention of the United States of America driving out the Serbs and attacking the Indonesian heartland, the country is now back in the possession of two of its three provinces—Sarawak and Sabah—while Peninsular Malaysia remains under American control.
However, since Malaysia was briefly non‐existent during the presidential elections, Her previous president officially remains in office, but as he is no longer in the country he does not have any in‐game powers whatsoever. The congress faces the same situation, with most of its members currently being overseas and thus unable to actually do anything in their offices. As a result, Malaysia is effectively headless and without an administration at the moment.


• Philippines

Our southern neighbour proves itself very peaceful and stable. The Filipino economy is doing well, there are no military threats, and neither have there been any notable PTO attempts.
The recently elected president PDS has been impeached (at his own request) because the previous head of the country—Jelly9473—had been temporarily absent from the game and thus needed a place‐holder. Having now returned, he was peacefully installed back in his office.
As I have worked with him before while I was still in Canada, I can attest to his commitment to the Philippines and to his competence and sensibility, and thus I look forward to cooperate with him to bring our two nations closer together!


• Singapore

The president of Singapore recently proclaimed the city’s conversion to Dioism, though this has remained largely without consequences. Judging by the forum’s activity, he might also very well be the lone active citizen of the entire nation.
This is, of course, an exaggeration, but not by much. Despite the government’s efforts to create jobs and endorse fairer wages and prices by running a state‐owned grain company, the pay in Singapore is abhorrently low and its already few citizens are fleeing the country. The turnout in the recent congress elections was a mere 40 votes, of which it is suspected that some belong to the multis of a Romanian individual attempting to take over the parliament, which he apparently partially succeeded in.


• Thailand

Thailand, whose southernmost province is currently in American hands after briefly having been invaded by Indonesia, seems to have fallen victim to a Serbian takeover. As its new president states, he intents to side the country with Phoenix, suing for peace with Serbia and Indonesia, and allying with Hungary. The latter goal has already been achieved and a couple of trading embargoes against the USA and EDEN countries have passed the Thai congress, while peace with Serbia is still being persistently rejected. Taxes are also being raised across the board (35% income and value added tax for every product).
Due to the apparent involvement of genuine Thai citizens in the new government, the schizophrenic behaviour of the congress, and the implied future exploitation of the country, I am uncertain as to what extent this all actually constitutes a hostile political takeover. Alas, I have not yet been able to talk to any Thai citizens yet, and would be grateful for helpful comments shedding light onto this whole situation.
