Ocia's stance on the Communist Issue

[Sir Kieran Henson OCS]

From the Office of the Minister of the Exterior for the Ocia Federation
Sir Kieran Penn-Nortan

Recently there has been controversy surrounding the founding of a new organisation of Communist Micronational International or COMICTERN for short, with many countries opposing this new organization of socialist states, and discussing a possible Anti-Communist League. Up to this point, the Ocian Federation has failed to make a comment on there stance.


With that said, I must say that today we must see clearly that today's coexistence cannot be peaceful coexistence if we continue to be hostile to one another. We must throw away this "Bloc Mentality" and allow reconciliation to occur.
I can now officially confirm that Ocia is taking a neutral stance on this issue and will not be participating in either groups. We urge all nations to take to diplomacy and peaceful measures and not to revert to War and Chaos. Ocia will be talking to both communist and Anti Communist nations this week to try and help defuse the situation.

Thank you.

A respectable decision indeed. I think people should learn more about it, as many listen to the horror stories and don't allow themselves to chose, they just follow like sheep. So, I respect and encourage the neutral stance. But, of course, we should also be wary. There is of course the fight between communism and capitalist countries and we don't want to get wound up in that.

[King Kakali OCS]

Yes. Diplomacy is the best policy. While we shouldn't shy away from military action if threatened, sending the diplomates in first is definitly the best policy.

[Leon Bukharen]

If you keep up, you'll understand that the COMICTERN is not the counter-organisation to the "Council of Free States", but a Lena Pact between all socialistic nations is currently in the making. The COMICTERN is attended by no-one but the Kazaris.

[Matt Kovac]

Thank you for the notification, but the COMICTERN is only promoting the Bloc mentality. We have no ill feelings towards your nation, and if you would like we are willing to open up relations.

Regards,

[Sir Kieran Henson OCS]

That's exactly what the Russians said before the cold war. But Yes as Minister of the Exterior, I have stated that my main objective is Peace and Diplomacy.

[curtissinclair]

I think that by playing the international system at this time would be foolish, and I applaud the Minister and the Ocian people for taking a neutral stance on this. It should be for us to decide how others live in other countries, as long as the Ocian way of life, property and territory is protected from extra-national influence and control.

[anthonymontague]

I think you need to put a "not" somewhere in there, Mr. Sinclair.

[curtissinclair]

I think you need to be shut up in the presence of a Minister who knows what he is talking about. If you want to get your point across, give reasons and facts, don't snipe at those who don't agree with you, because to be honest, that just makes you look childish, and your cause baseless. Wouldn't it be a better idea to actually persuade Government Ministers that your path is the one to follow, rather an irritate them and push them away.

And for the record, it's Minister Sinclair to you.

[King Kakali OCS]

Gentlemen, lets act diplomatic towards one another, shall we?

Mr. Montague, we have noted your displeasure towards our current diplomatic plan towards the communist situation facing our world at the moment. We are discussing amongst the senior officials of the government about your recent speech to the World Peace Conference, and it is expected that Acting President Kovac will respond shortly with our consensus. However, you should not that Ocia is and will continue to be a friend to the Lovlian people. It is my intent to work towards addressing your concearns in that you voiced at the conference in a few weeks, as my macronational schedule permits.

Mr. Sinclair, please remember that Lovely is our close friend, and that Mr. Montague is an honored diplomatic guest of our country, one that is interested in working wtih, not against, our government. With that said, I understand your frustration at the situation. I think we all do. The situation with the communists is putting stresses on all our feelings.

Again, lets try to solve our differences in peacefull, calm, respecting, diplomatic ways.

He was just referring to a typo:

It should be for us to decide how others live in other countries, as long as the Ocian way of life, property and territory is protected from extra-national influence and control.

[anthonymontague]

Yes, and there was no malice in it at all. I was just pointing out something that could be very easily misquoted.

[Rebecca]

Fair enough then, but still note that some things said may seem as if theres malice, even when theres not. Especially in certain situations.. tempers can easily be lost upon something that might not matter too much, if taken the wrong way. I've done it myself before.. I guess the Internet and how things are read doesn't help.

But indeed, the matter in hand..

[curtissinclair]

My apologies I thought you were refering to the following:

at this time would be foolish

Thank you.

Carrassia is totally aligned on this point and on keeping neutral. Here is one of the most important articles of our Constitution:

CHAPTER VIII – Art.1
The Free Principality of Carrassia rejects war as an offence to the freedom of other peoples and as a way to resolve international controversies.
