To the appropriate officials;
I bid you the warmest of welcomes from the Democratic People's Republic of Parilita. I am Michelle Yui, National People's Executive Commissioner for Foreign Affairs (Foreign Minister) and legal representative of the Republic. Though we are a fairly young nation, Parilita was founded by a coalition of Socialist and Communist micronationalists who had been involved in various other projects. Allow me to explain a little about Parilita.
We are, as the name implies, a somewhat democratic state. According to our laws, we are a free multi-party state that places no limits on ideology. We are, however, fundamentally Socialist - the Communist Party of Parilita has the full, inviolable power to block any Party or politian from making anti-Socialist reform to the State. Though anyone can rule, they remain at the mercy of the CPP, thus ensuring that society can continue to progress down a Socialist path whilst still allowing for greater political freedom than some Socialist government systems.
Officially, the Party's ideology is Evolutionary Micronational Communism - a constructed ideology based around the experiences of the Party's founders in other micronations. We officially recognise Marxism, Leninism, Luxemburgism, Trotskyism, Stalinism, Maoism and Juche as valid Communist ideologies and also recognise independent Socialism.
Our first and current President, Robert Lefler, established in his Six Month Plan the need to make contact with other Socialist micronations and develop strong ties with them to ensure that Socialism remains strong in the micronational community. It is for that reason I come to you now and extend the hand of friendship, with the hope that we may sign a formal treaty of recognition and build a strong relationship in the coming months and years.
Our wiki/website is currently under construction but I will provide a link once we feel it is ready for public viewing.
Signed, Michelle Yui

Comrade Damien,
Thank you for accepting our hand in friendship. I am afraid that I am not permitted to hold citizenship at another micronation - as a leading member of the Communist Party, it is imperative I hold no possible conflicts of interest. I do thank you for your willingness to allow me to hold citizenship, and thank you for your acknowledgement of our laws on dual citizenship. I will make it clear to our citizens and lower-ranked Party members that they are welcome here.
If you are willing to see it, I would like to offer a formal treaty of mutual recognition and mutual non-agression for your consideration.

We would indeed like to establish an embassy - a gesture we can return as soon as our forums are operational.
This is the treaty my government would like me to propose. Please feel free to ammend it if you feel it needs altering/reducing/expanding.

that all looks fine but one thing I would like to point out is regarding Article IV, ii, a, The Chairmanship is based on a rotation and any citizen is allowed to be voted to be put on the rotation, so it may be a problem in the future as a citizen who holds dual citizenship may become the Chairman of the KMDSP and so it means there citizenship will be affected, maybe switch it with the Peoples Representative of K-Marx as they are the nations head of government

no problem, i have been going through your policies and ideas, its nice to see a united group of socialists that learn from a broad range, from Trotsky to Stalin. I have been involved in a group doing just that outside of Micronations, i think in fighting is one of the reasons for socialism’s downfall, and when socialist parties unite they do well, like in Venezuela for example. Also its nice to see you have the WPK emblem on your flag, were do you stand with Juche and the DPRK

Thank you for your comments.
The whole idea of the constructed ideology is to prevent any kind of infighting - it also acts as a kind of cultural boost, to make the Party stand out with it's own constructed ideology. The Committee that created Parilita, that I was a standing member of, immediately decided that we needed to create an ideological environment that welcomed Communists and Socialists of all types. We believe that every Socialist thinker has positive theories as well as negative theories and we consider it necessary to combine the positive and discard the negative. Even though Trotsky and Stalin were largely enemies, there is no reason why we cannot try to combine their more successful ideas. Infact, no one leading member of the Party adheres to the exact same school of thought - the Father of the Nation (a man who is something of a national hero) leans towards Maoism, the President describes himself as a classical Marxist-Leninist and the Vice-President considers himself more of a Socialist than a Communist exactly.
With regards to Juche, we acknowledge it has weaknesses and strengths. We generally find it difficult to create a definitive stance on the DPRK - we acknowledge that mistakes have been made, alongside successes, but we generally do not trust the western media to offer a fair and absolutely objective view on China, the DPRK, Cuba etc. With China, for example, we use Xinhua News as our primary source rather than a western source.
The problems with Juche, we feel, largely come about as a result of it's implementation in Korea and the circumstances of Korea. We frown heavily on the idea of establishing a personality cult (all though the Father of the Nation, Peter Gaffney, enjoys some celebrity status in the Party and Parilita as a whole), one of our criticsms of Kim II-sung and Stalin. Again, we cannot truly create a definitive stance due to the difficully in aquiring accurate information. We do support the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea in principle and do believe that we can learn from Juche's positive elements. We by no means denounce or reject the efforts of the DPRK and feel that the Korean region would be better off if it was under the control of the DPRK instead of a division between the DPRK and the ROK. Similarly, we attribute some possible failures of Juche to the ROK. On a similar note, we are absolutely against Taiwanese independence.
In general, we consider Cuba to perhaps be the best example of a modern Socialist nation. Though both the President, Vice-President and Father of the Nation have all openly denounced the reformist path of Raul Castro, the Party massively supports Fidel Castro. Many leading Party members consider him to be the greatest figurehead for the modern Socialist cause.

thanks for your great reply, i am a member of KFA, a organization that works alongside the DPRK to gather real facts and learn from a non-imperialist bias, also we organize trips to the DPRK, a chance to see the real country. It is hard to get proper non biased facts and info about it but i have set up a site that has some stats and info about the DPRK, its still constantly being developed but you can find some interesting stuff there already www.koreantruthproject.co.nrI totally agree with you in regards to Cuba, although i still have a high respect for Raul, i think he just needs time to settle in and people need to stop comparing him to Fidel. Raul was after all a communist long before Fidel was and it was him that introduced Fidel to the communist ideas, i think were still in a morning faze for Fidel and it seems as though everything Raul does its not quite good enough.
