Welcome to Europeia!
So what the heck is Europeia anyways?

Can I join?

So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go?

What offices are there for people to be elected into?

What is there for me to do in Europeia?

That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more?

TSPs Foreign Decline

Under the guidance of Glen-Rhodes, The South Pacific has seen itself lose long-term and steadfast allies in favour of a less pragmatic and respectful approach to Foreign Affairs. There was always going to be friction when TSP elected a self-professed enemy of independence and imperialism. Still, it shocked many when Glen-Rhodes re-opened relations with Lazarus. After all, this was a new regime led by someone who had recently couped The South Pacific rather unapologetically.

Even worse was the fact that the Lazarus regime was being portrayed as a continuation of the regime that took over The South Pacific that only had ended by force. So what exactly was the rational to re-opening ties with Lazarus? When I had asked Glen-Rhodes about his love for Lazarus he had stated it was because The South Pacific and Lazarus had a long history of friendship and alliance. This shallow reason seems rather absurd on a few levels; the most obvious being that this Lazarus was clearly not the Lazarus of the past. It’d be like saying the U.S. should re-open ties with Cuba because of their relationship with Cuba prior to Castro.

Thus rather than continue to build upon those more recent allies who had done the most for TSP, Glen-Rhodes decided to choose a path based on pre-conceived notions and ideals. With his self-professed dislike of the imperialist and independent regions, is it any wonder that under Glen-Rhodes as Minister of Foreign Affairs TSP has declined on the foreign affairs stage? First, TSP ended its long relation with The New Inquisition. Then TSP choose to pursue an alliance with Lazarus for the reason that they used to be close allies a long time ago.

That error in judgment was followed by the mistake to join the Sovereignty Conference, a failed conference that was most notable for Unibots attempt to push a defender agenda on the participants. That conference took a long time and was unable to reach a productive resolution. Indeed, participants noted privately that it seemed that Unibot had simply been using Lazarus for the event. Then, more embarrassment for The South Pacific after Glen-Rhodes had strained relations with Europeia in order to attend the controversial conference.

Glen-Rhodes had eroded The South Pacifics relationship with Europeia to such a degree that it lost the chance to be part of, let alone host the independent conference. Rather than work with those who had put their neck out for TSP over the past few years, Glen-Rhodes instead choose to align with regions that had quite literally been involved in efforts in utterly destroying the government of The South Pacific. Now I’m not sure I believe in the idea that Glen Rhodes is involved with a defender conspiracy to convert The South Pacific into the next stepping-stone of the Unibots of the world. But clearly, Glen Rhodes has done an incredible amount of damage to The South Pacific in the pursuit of relationships based on odd beliefs.

I hope whoever TSP elects to be their next MoFA will be able to undo the damage Glen Rhodes has perpetrated.

I might have articulated it a bit differently but the foundation of this commentary rings true.

Thanks! This is just the motivation I needed to write that article I had been planning for a while. :)

(No, seriously, I did have plans to write an article on our FA, but didn't really focus on it until now. So the thanks are for real.)

I would like to clarify that I do wish to see Americans end the embargo on Cuba, but that to do so out of a basis of Pre-Castro ties would be pretty weird and not relevant.
