Foreign Relations of the Unified Electorates
Ainslie has a constitutional responsibility to care for others at a government level. This means we seek peaceful options and expect our governments to do so. We will stand up for our values but intend to preserve our neutrality
- JR Joseph Shirazi
How to be friendly with Ainslie:
- Install and maintain a democratically elected government which supports regulated capitalism.
- Use your common sense. This doesn't just go for foreign policy, this is an underlying Ahnslen idea. Ahnslens hate people who do not think and just blurt out what they want to say without at least thinking a little bit about it.
- Be moderate. We appreciate governments who don't just please the majority, but improve the lives of everyone by moderating policies.
- Be slightly liberal. Ahnslens believe that people have the right to be equal to a point, but once the line is crossed, the government views nations as not being moderate.
- Set up an embassy in Ainslie. We like nations who do that.
- Respect our ideas and wishes.
- We always appreciate some foreign Whindism.
- Authentic centre-right governments are almost always viewed well.
How to make Ainslie unfriendly with you:
- Generally communism is not viewed very well, but is often addressed on a case by case basis.
- Mid - far right capitalistic free enterprise governments where most business practices go unregulated will often annoy us.
- Be extreme. This is a big one. If you are viewed as being extreme in your policies, you are very unlikely to be liked if the nation has not shown it wishes to further relations.
- Make a direct threat against Ainslie or her allies.
- Threaten or be hostile to Ainslie or her allies.
- Make threats against liberal democracies.
- Support terrorist organisations, or not doing enough about them if you have the resources to do it.
