Over the past week your humbled and sometimes inebriated
monarch has devised a foreign policy in which it is hoped the
Kingdom of Pooba
will spread its wings amongst the communities of the world.
I have often muttered the question: ‘But what is Poobian
foreign policy?’ In essence, what should be the aim of Poobians on this planet:
to conquer, to cajole, or to care? As such, I believe it is fitting to lay out
such a plan to the people on the close of our first month of existence in a few
simple steps:
- To
become an established member of the micronational community.
The micronational world is a large and diverse one, and it
appears that there are many friends to make amongst its vast terrain. Already
the
Kingdom of Pooba has had the pleasure of some very
good advice, but it is time to take such relationships a step further with
official treaties of recognition and goodwill.
- Build
alliances with micronations who share the Poobian vision.
As many deluded scheming rulers, I had the fancy of
constructing a powerful organisation between like-minded nations. However, it
appears that this road has been travelled many times before with minimal gold
at the end of the rainbow. As such, Pooba will take a different tact: the
creation of alliances between the few nations who share its goals and values,
as well as the application of joining existing organisations. The G.U.M. offers
much hope in this direction – the
Kingdom
of Pooba will soon send
off an application to join.
- Build
relationships with those in the macro world.
Landlocked as we are in within the English city of
Plymouth, it is up to
Pooba to establish relationships with those around us in the macro world. Of
course, this king is not completely insane in believing that the mayor of the
city, or local MPs will come around for tea and cucumber sandwiches at any
point in the near future. However, doors must be knocked for the voice of Pooba
to be heard!
- The
annexation of new territory.
The
Kingdom
of Pooba does not want to
confine itself to one house: it wants and desires more territory. After the
upcoming election I shall meet with my ministry and discuss our military might
and expectations of new land.
Three simple steps, but with much work to do! It is down to
Poobians to grow and thrive in order to survive, especially if we intend on existing
a further month down the line.
