[DISCUSSION] The Holy Reich of Bunicken; Potential Alliance?

Following the publication of my article concerning [region]The Red Fleet[/region], officials from [region]The Holy Reich of Bunicken[/region] have spoken with me1 about a tentative alliance in order to combat the subversive organization. The Reich is one of the larger German Monarchist regions on NationStates, along with [region]KAISERREICH[/region]. Their former region, [region]Bunicken[/region] was destroyed by the Fleet, who claimed that they were a "Nazi" region2. At any rate, their Founder has made it his goal to avenge his loss, and believes Right to Life could be a strong working partner in fighting back against the plans of ideologues like [nation]Caelapes[/nation] to subvert our communities.

The Reich wants us to write a treaty for an alliance, due to our long experience in such matters, and the presence of such competent nations such as [nation]Culture of Life[/nation] in our region. If we are willing to get involved in this agreement3, which might have worth, the following actions might be considered reasonable to include in a formal treaty, which the Kaiser (Founder) indicates that he desires:

  • The re-opening of embassies. Apparently, our embassies were closed for a region that remains a mystery to both the Kaiser and myself. If indeed we agree that they are a tolerable region to hold embassies with, then they ought to be re-opened.4 If they are deemed to collude with fascists, we shouldn't--our policy of engagement should have its limits.
  • State Visits. If we agree to the above, this one is an obvious yes. State visits are vital to maintain relations with regions, and ought to be a key part of our policy of engagement.
  • Non-Aggression. It is key that we protect our own region from any external threats, so working to establish non-aggression pacts with regions is generally a good thing. Knowing that no attacks can occur from either side onto the other allows the Foreign Ministry to better pursue engagement in a calm, effective way.
  • Military Cooperation. This could be either a gold mine for us or a PR nightmare, depending on how it is viewed abroad. If we consider the Reich to be merely a Monarchist region, and the World seems to agree, an alliance, including some other regions like Libertatem, to fight back against the Fleet without joining the dangerous NSRight.

What say ye, Senators (and plain ol' citizens)? Is this alliance a good idea? What should its terms be?

1 This might sound egoistic, but does the right-wing of NationStates think I am their spokesperson? I seem to wind up working with them often--I'm in Right to Life, proposed a repeal of Reproductive Freedoms, and have spoken out against the Red Fleet. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of NationStates thought I was a rightist.

2 I'm not sure if this claim is substantiated or not. If it is, there is no way we would get involved in an alliance. However, the Fleet has a history of leveling unsavory accusations against any region they don't like, and German monarchist regions seem to be labelled as Nazis a lot. See the KAISERREICH affair with the CAIN if you're not sure what I mean.

3 As always, I say this with caution. With any agreement, we need to be careful of the implications it would pose to our other relationships around NationStates. While it is very positive to gain an ally in the defense of our government, I'm not aware of other commitments or interactions that the Reich has had abroad.

4 Again, we ought to walk the line carefully. Our embassy list has gotten us in trouble in the past, and I certainly don't want to repeat the incident with CAIN. I've contacted [nation]Brunhizzle[/nation] to see what they think about the region. I'm awaiting a reply

I got the following reply from Brunhizzle:

While one of their nations, [nation]der wermacht[/nation], does seem to be a bit concerning and while they do promote a nationalist pride for a non-existent "bunsische" ethnicity, they don't seem to be overtly Nazi.
That said, I don't have any connection with CAIN given my relinquishment of the reigns when I retired due to health concerns earlier this year.


In summary, I think it's safe to assume that the region is not Nazi

A large number of them are fascist. Not nazis though. Anyway, embassies sounds good for this citizen, everyone vs. TRF.

My opinion is that there are no actual nazi regions in NationStates. The CAIN uses "nazi" to mean "conservative"
