Ministry of Foreign Affairs Policy One ~

"Policy of Recognizing Foreign Entities"

Section One - Recognition

Natopia shall only recognize nations that show a sincere wish for diplomatic ties.

Natopia shall not recognize nations that support anti-humanitarian acts such as terrorism, severe oppression, dictatorships, totalitarian, flagrant disregard for the environment, disregard for human rights.

Natopia will not turn down recognition based on the nation’s age. However, if either the Foreign Minister or Emperor feel that the foreign nation would benefit from more time alone, recognition may be denied. The Foreign Minister and Emperor may only exercise this right until foreign nation has existed for one month.

Section Two - Foreign Relations

Citizens of Natopia may be able to hold foreign titles. Also, Natopians may hold any number of foreign citizenships that do not compromise their loyalty to Natopia.

The policy regarding our neighbors, the United States, shall be open borders. Should the United States impose taxes or laws on our Citizens, the Citizens should follow it, out of respect to our neighbor.

Recognition must take place before any official dialogue is exchanged between Natopia and another nation.

Enacted August 23, 2003

Policy 5

Natopia will do whatever is in its power and authority to promote micronational unity. All of these endeavors, however, must not interfere with Natopia's right to total sovereignty.

Economic unity with our Allies is desireable and beneficial to our relations in our sphere of influence. The Natopo, however, is a symbol of our economic and cultural independence and must not be compromised by an economic deals.

Natopia supports, in full, the establishment of an independent Micronational University to be run by all micronations and open to everyone.

Policy 6

"Regarding War and Armed Conflict"

Natopia will not engage in any war or armed conflict with another entity unless the foreign entity engages Natopia or her allies first. All Natopian Defense Forces will remain on Natopian territory or allied territory leased to the Imperial government.

[Nathan]

Policy 7

"Regarding the Secessionist Movement in Lavalon"

The Imperial government will not recognize the sovereignty of the secessionist movement in Lavalon, currently named Avalonia. It claims to be the true inheritor of the Sovereign Principality of Lavalon's culture and sovereignty. Natopia recognizes NO entity to be the one true inheritor of that culture. Natopia recognizes the Republic of Lavalon and the Kingdom of Breudwydd as entities founded in the tradition of the SP of Lavalon.

Its' good that you in Natopia have a variation of treaties- although i have tried to speak to people in Matbaa about it, they seem to only want "treaties of mutal recognition". Surely the provisions of treaties would need to be altered for different nations, would they not?

[Nathan]

yes, these are just the most basic versions of the different levels of treaty we have... specialized treaties can always be negotiated on a as-need basis...
