An example I can think of, off the top of my head, is that Nation A wishes to revamp its website... while nation B is blessed with a great deal of people with some talent in this area. The LOSS can then help to make the connection between A and B.
Or perhaps a nation wants to rewrite its constitution but would like a little help from a more seasoned lawsmith, or perhaps revamp their image overall.
Do I forsee things being particularly lopsided in regards to those nations that request assistance and those that provide? Yes I do. At least for a while. I believe that things will move towards a more even keel over time.

At the current time, abstention is my intention. I firmly believe that the LOSS has more important things to do (like try and put my plan into action) and, frankly, I quickly get tired of the email-clogging slew of condemnation statements.
Such statements should be reserved, if they are made at all, in the course of major events. The issuance of such at every turn, or incident, saps them of meaning.
If the cabinet is amenable, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs willing, it might be worth our time to draft a formal "Foreign Policy" for the Republic, akin to that used by Reuniao and Corvinia.
Respectfully,
Eiric Börnatfiglheu |
