Australian Independence Negotiations: Foreign Policy Restrictions
•
by FallbackPants
This month the Agreement for the Independance of Australia will be renogotiated by Australia and Indonesia.
For most people the return of eAustralian territories will be seen as the central and most vital part of the treaty. With good reason, however, this is not the only area of concern for treaty negotiators.
Currently the treaty places incredible restrictions on eAustralia's forieng policy options. It restricts what MPPs and what alliance blocs we can join. This must change in the upcoming elections. It is as vital as the return on the remaining territories.
Regardless of whether eAustralia should, or will, join an alliance, the option must remain a possibility. We are not an eIndonesian vassal state, and setting out own foreign policy agenda is a vital part of any nations independence and autonomy.
I am not for eAustralia joining PEACE or ATLANTIS, however, I feel that our own government must be in complete control of our foreign policy options, and not be restricted.
It was an understandable clause to have when the treaty was negotiated, many people demanded continued fighting and restricting the official government from joining ATLANTIS essentially prevented any risk of another major war on the continent.
This is no longer the case. The restriction must be removed for eAustralia to fully regain it's autonomy.

just letting everyone know the date for renegotiation is on day 414. If you have any concerns or issues you would like us to raise don't hesitate to PM us. Oh and please, if it is an obvious issue like getting our regions back don't bother we already know 😛
patti isn't is day 475 now? Also these are my concerns right here 😛
We do have control of what we do as long as it doesn't piss of Indonesia..
good article FBP. well written and researched 🙂
Two concerns:
1) I doubt the Indonesians will gladly hand back our land - we need coordinated, state by state resistance or else Australia is forever weak;
2) Good article and I don't wanna be a smart ar$e, but you've spelled "independence" wrong in the headline...
PS - Machine Madness, have you read the agreement? All we can do is support Indonesia on everythung! We're truly rogered on this one:

@ B Bear: phhh obviously I was talking about the annual Australian Indonesia IndepenDANCE. nah, cheers dude, i'll fix that up now.
Notice how I was a smart ar$e and then spelled the word "everything" as "everythung"?
Karma has a way of biting ya!
Keep up the good work!!
Viva la resistance!!
argh i meant the 14 March day 481
"1) I doubt the Indonesians will gladly hand back our land - we need coordinated, state by state resistance or else Australia is forever weak;"
Have you been watching any of the recent battles in the Indonesian vs. Romanian war?
Here are the links to the final results of the two so far:

I rest my case, Diplomacy is our only option.
good artical 😁
This wasn't meant to be some kind of call to arms by the way. Just saying I want foreign policy options. I agree diplomacy is the key to getting out country back. But I see more to eAustralia than just all of the territories
Mr President, you are watching these comments, so a question. If you think diplomacy is our only option, what are you expecting from the negotiations? Do you expect us to regain any territories?
What am I expecting from the negotiations? More regions.
I think that answers both questions 😉
btw, I don "think" diplomacy is our only option, I "know" it's our only option.
eAustralia has absolutely no say it it's affairs (unless you're going to also claim the China & the old USSR were democratic).
People should look at the eIndonesian / eRomania conflict as some kind of benchmark of any possible eAustralia / eRomania conflict. Simple fact as that a majority of those fighting for eIndonesia in the current conflict wouldn't be supporting them against any other nation - except maybe eUSA (same applies to eRomania).
Those suggesting that the current conflict is some kind of benchmark for any future eAustralia conflict lacks the understanding of the current situation or is deliberately being deceptive to force us into continuing to pamper to eIndonesian demands.

Personally the pathetic & gutless attitudes of many so-called eAustralians here only serves to make me more willing to fight against eIndonesia.
My concerns are wrapped up here! Good article!
@ Australian Warlor😛 Your unconcern for strategic considerations is annoying. Yes, eIndo is imperialst. Yes, eRomania is imperialist. But, it is eIndo with whom we share a border, and it is eIndo who has allowed the return of our sovereign land. Undoubtedly, if eRomania bordered us, we'd be between a rock and a hard place.
We are too militarily weak to demand anything from anyone. We can only depend on generosity, and eIndo has shown that generosity.
And I don't like how you continue to pick out the USSR and China for your badboys all the time. What about the rich history of US intervention in it's sphere of influence, as well as abroad? You don't support their imperialist actions, do you?
Every nation is made and grows or declines by war
