"New Mexico cannot hope to evolve in this global economy without at least reaching out to its regional neighbors." New Mexico currently only maintains limited ties with its neighbors, including the United States of America and the Tahoe Republic. The isolationist stances comes from the two parties' unanimous "New Mexico First" policy, which the New Mexican congress laid out after its first election. Under the policy, Congress set out to make the Republic of New Mexico a self-sustaining nation so that it would not be absorbed by another larger nation in the region. With its rumored completion of a nuclear weapon and the establishment of an infrstructure revival project, Congress appears to have done just that. However, Acting President John Keeper and his administration believe that the "New Mexico First" plan can now only weaken the country. "New Mexico needs to reach out and embrace its regional neighbors so that we can cooperate. It is only through cooperation that humanity can continue to grow and conquer the issues of tomorrow." President Keeper has noted the lack of border checkpoints between itself and its neighbors, and is calling for Congress to allow for cooperation on establishing them as well as allow for the cooperation to stem illegal trafficking in and out of the nation. The Department of Defense has noted an increase in illegal weapon, narcotic, and human trafficking on all borders. "We will only be able to tackle these issues through cooperation," Secretary of Defense Harold Oldsman commented earlier in the week. The New Mexican Army is a small, efficient fighting force capable of defending the nation from invasion as well as provide relief from natural disasters and catastrophies; however, illegal trafficking threatens to spread the force thin. Currently most active-duty soldiers are deployed to New Mexico's borders to combat the issue. New Mexico currently does not have any regional allies; however, it has found a natural affinity to both the Tahoe Republic and the United States of America. Both are nations that trace their lineage back to the first United States of America, which New Mexico also does. New Mexico was also a part of the Tahoe Republic in the past.

Maelstrom Vortex Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 Bill Caudill made a statement regarding this release, "We very badly would like to have much warmer ties with the Nation of New Mexico. We greatly respect their independence if that is the route they wish to take, but we would also like to have them back at home with us. Either way, they are considered family by many of our people. That said, we open the doors to full co-operation with the New Mexican government on any issues they feel important to the core of our relationship and would invite them to send an ambassador and occupy one of the available Embassies in D.C.'s embassy row."
