Greetings to Francos Spain, the Senate of the NPO and all the nations of the Pacific.
Aung San Suu Kyi has resided in the Pacific for several months, interacted with the Senators of the NPO, your esteemed ruler Francos and with the Pacific indigenous population. This has been an enjoyable though low level unofficial interaction to date.
This has come about through the grace of Francos in allowing Suu Kyi to remain in the Pacific following our public renunciation of the Anti-NPO war effort and desire to establish interregional dialogue.
I am Daedalus of The Meritocracy (Assigned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.) I request diplomatic recognition as an Ambassador of The Meritocracy.
I bring no agenda other than to establish and promote interregional communication and build a relationship. I have long recognized that the NPO is legitimate, well established, and a growing superpower that cannot and should not be ignored or fought against without cause. While this sentiment is far from unanimously accepted by all nations of the Meritocracy, <also experiencing major growth> our Senate is more open to interacting with the Nation States community than before. I am no longer alone in pursuing this idea and am here with the sanction of that government. It is not necessary for us to be adversaries. Perhaps in time we can even become friends.
This seemed like a good time to evolve one step in that direction.
Thank you.

Welcome. For those of us not particularly attuned to goings on outside the Pacific, can you post a link to your public renunciation of the anti-NPO war effort? My curiosity is piqued. Has there been an adverserial relationship between The Meritocracy and the NPO? Or is it just assumed that every region out there is adverserial with the NPO until explicitly stated otherwise?

The anti-NPO effort has fallen apart due to the wide-spread enlightenment, and subsequent abandonment, of many key anti-NPO terrorists. There are only a few small pockets of terrorism still wanting to get rid of us and they can only resort to spamming and flamming.

Dont quote me on this as Im not sure but I think the Meritocracy dabbled in Defending a little. With defenders at least it is safe to assume an adversarial relationship with the NPO until proven otherwise.

And from what I can see, the only potential organization with the chance at significant resistence is the ADN, and by nature, their structure does not permit aggressive action.

Welcome. For those of us not particularly attuned to goings on outside the Pacific, can you post a link to your public renunciation of the anti-NPO war effort? My curiosity is piqued. Good Western Hemisphere morning Lactating Nuns, My apologies for my delay. (Got kicked off the server.) In answer to your questions: "Public" turned out to be private. My error. What was public was an overture to end the conflict on the Pacific Civil Boards. The private appeal was made to Francos by telegram and I'll reprint it here: I'll await Franco's permission before posting the response. Hopefully it remains self explanatory. Francos may recognise this telegram and could vouch for its authenticity. If nothing else, please accept this position as "public" in the here and now and with the sanction of our Foreign Minister. Yes to the latter. This seems to have been discussed in this thread already and I agree with the statements. In brief, The Meritocracy is a rising power and so is the New Pacific Order. Both have become legendary in Nation States. Both are populated by intelligent people of means who have expressed themselves in two different government styles. (I am not here to proselytise ours or "approve" of yours only to promote communication and better mutual understanding for now.) While the Meritocracy itself wanted to remain out of this conflict, Meritocratic volunteers, myself included, AND WON OVER TO THIS "CAUSE" AT MY URGING, responded to a flood of pleas from the former Savage Lands and other Pacific Army allies to overthrow the NPO. Later we became frustrated with the Pacific Army for reasons we all know and began to question our purpose in assisting this effort. We don't do a lot of this in Nation States. (I have no idea what to make of the former Savage Lands real role now but that is not really germaine to my mission here and now.) That and the xenophile in myself brought me here to explore and interact with the region. It is better IMO for our two great regions to learn more about each other now and hopefully work together in the future to at least "civilize" the vast hinterland that is Nation States. It is notable that for it's austere image, the NPO is actually receptive to self introspection <openess> and criticism, (Glasnost and Perestroika) I've seen this on this forum. That and the grace accorded to this nation, considering it's past history, in remaining here are indicative of an elevated culture and a capacity to be merciful. There is much more to say but this is more than enough for one post. It is my personal hope that we can normalize relations and perhaps even become friends over time. This will require patience but every step taken is worthwhile. Thank you all for this dialogue.

I thank you for your honesty and forthrightness. Many of us are former "terrorists" as Unlimited put it. My involvement was not this nation but one of a more monastic nature . I digress. My point is this, I appreciate your candor. One can only treat in complete good faith if they are completely forthright about who they are. I personally have little use for subterfuge and those who are eventually exposed as opportunists and duplicitous no matter what side they are on. Again I wish you well in your diplomatic endeavours here.

A well-reasoned and appreciated post. It is a pleasure to see that not all regions in the NationStates world view the New Pacific Order as a Mogolian horde ready to sweep down upon them in a wave of despotic tyranny.
Your willingness to accept our government, in that you have opened a diplomatic discussions, is testimony to the growing power of both our regions in the NationStates world.
Best Regards, Abysseria

Thank you Abysseria and to everyone else. The waters ahead in this venture is certainly navigable. This is encouraging. I am studying the overall state of affairs between The Meritocracy, her allies, her evolving relationship with the New Pacific Order and how they all interconnect. Part of my mission is to gather information and experience with the NPO through first hand interaction here so that the Meritocratic Senate is provided with accurate reports that are free from "spin" and the obsolete and third person accounts that form popular opinion regarding the NPO. Others now are coming to the understanding that the NPO is the defacto and legitimate government of the Pacific for the foreseable future and are questioning the same assumptions that I questioned late last year. I'm sure that there will also be heated debate about it look forward to being a part of that In a nutshell, it is better to have a direct relationship with a region than it is to have an indirect and polarized relationship via the opponents of that region. Of course I look forward to just hanging out here and participating in other threads on a casual basis too. Cheerio, Suu Kyi (Daedalus)

Daedalus,
As those discussions and debates evolve, please feel free to contact us so that we might do our best to present the reality of the NPO, not the generalized and stereotyped messages people are so familiar with.
Have a good weekend,
Abysseria
