[code]Even in our besieged state, we say this: Should this conglomerate feel the need to protect or otherwise reinforce subversives within our borders, there will be a Green Dawn.[/code]

[king of cochin]

The Article IV, Section 6 of this Treaty clearly indicates a willingness to interfere in the internal affairs of other nations. Rest assured any attempt at creating or supporting any communist movement or any communists in the Kingdom of Cochin would be considered as an act of war. Thus we hope that the signatories of this treaty who also hold non aggression pacts with us would desist from embarking upon any such idiotic misadventures against the Kingdom of Cochin.

[Ezequiel]

"We congratulate these member nations on their union."

*PRIVATE TO RED DAWN MEMBERS*

Hola fellow Socialist states,

We in España are apart of the Socialist ideals and would like to seek admission into this wonderful pact. We are currently allies with Athens, but we gladly seek relations with our Socialist counterparts of Novak, UFE, and the URSR.

[Lynneth]

"So long as the 'Red Dawn' does not interfere in internal matters of Sri Lanka, we will respect this alliance and its views."

Its sad to see that the Cochinese place so little faith in our treaties, fortunately the UFE places more trust in its relationship with the Cochinese and does not resort to speculation.

To say the truth we do have a lot of faith in UFE and the value it places for treaties and understanding, and so do we have faith on Novak another ally with whom we hold a Non aggression pact. Our remonstration was more of a general warning particularly intended at those signatories who may hold reactionary views regarding our internal stability. We are glad hear that the signatories of Red Dawn would be using the Article IV, Section 6 to define relations with Cochin.

[Shatner]

Burma praises the unification of revolutionary states into an alliance to further the human cause of progress.

On another note, Burma would like to put forth an application for admission into the Red Dawn, citing our communist system, our alliance with the UFE and our cooperation with the UFE, URSR, and Athens in the ongoing conflict in Alaska.

[Aggressivenutmeg]

The Australian Free State congradulates these nations on furthering workers revolution. The Nation Reprasentatives Council has passed a motion requesting that we be allowed to join the Red Dawn Pact.

[Zoot Zoot]

Great Britain would like to submit an applications to this organisation.
Moreover this is a direct request from the workers party national representation of Great Britain. Formerly the National Assembly.

[Lestari]

It would be best that this organisation make sure to omit the Xinyan Republic in its itinerary for its supposed 'worldwide Socialist revolution'. We will tolerate no attempts to interfere in our sovereign internal matters.

[Beauty]

"As Republique Du Fleuve would love to be in a treaty with the Athenian Federation, Lack of communication between the other signatories have lead us to vote down apply for membership. Although we think the Red Dawn treaty is a beautiful alliance and will prosper greatly. We are happy to see the Red Dawn come to existence in a world full of Capitalism."

[Triyun]

The United Federation of the East will sponsor the membership of the Burmese. We do not have much of a relationship with the other applying powers so we shall defer to the greater wisdom of the Athenians in those matters.

[Fizzydog]

"Red Dawn" is seen as a threat to the capitalist economies of the world. Nevertheless, we respect nations of the world uniting and staying as peaceful as possible.

[King Timmy]

The Democratic People's Republic of Maine would like to apply for membership.

[TheShammySocialist]

"The Caspian Clique would like to extend its congratulations to the signatories of the Red Dawn, and hope that the pact will mean for further stability and security in this world."

[Beauty]

"Does this treaty improvise that Athens may move away from the Treaty of Zurich and/or England?"

"Sri Lanka, a capitalism-oriented nation, would like to note that the Ottoman Republic is only speaking for itself. We, for example, do not see this alliance as a threat at the time."

[Californian]

[quote]The Free Association notes the signing and legality of this pact. We maintain our position of non-interference in others affairs and will neither condemn nor praise this agreement in general. We do however express concern with Article IV Section 6 and voice strong disapproval with any interference in a nation that is ruled with the blessings of its people.[/quote]

"A few years ago the founding fathers of The United States of The Islands established sovereignty, justice, freedom, and a Republic. A Republic that was founded on the principals of Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Happiness. True Republics around the world - not the "People's Republics" that scatter the globe with misleading names - were founded under similar principals of Freedom and Democratic Republicanism.
In the name of justice I look not only to Republics but I also look to Constitutional Monarchies, Absolute Monarchies, Empires, and even Dictatorships. This is not an pocket-sized organization looking for world peace and prosperity. This is also not an organization looking to destroy Capitalism world wide, from what I know... What I understand it to be, and what it is easily seen to be, is a direct threat to any nation, small or large, strong or week, warm or cold that is not a Communist People's Republic or one with strong relations, or moving close, to one."

-Congressman Ron Paul of The United States of The Islands

"Any peoples that tries to incite political violence, another communist revolution, or espionage will be detained and kept in the United States to face maximum charges. To make all things clear, [i]death[/i] is the only charge for espionage. It will also be taken as an act of war.

Furthermore, due to the preamble, 'We the workers of the world hereby unite into this agreement to promote and protect the spread of the socialist revolution worldwide' any nation that belongs to this organization will be set on a watch list for terrorism towards the United States of The Islands."

In response to the actions by the United States of the Islands all citizens were recalled from the USI. Next to that Hellenic corporations were banned from trading with the USI and Athenian airlines would no longer fly towards the USI.

Nova Scotia recognizes Red Dawn and respects their opinions, so long as they do not pose a threat to capitalist nations around the globe or try and spread their ideology worldwide.

"The workers of USIT should take this speech and realize their freedoms are being violated. Even in Novak, political parties are allowed to exist to oppose the Party. In your country, your leader fears opposition from what the people want. If it is what you desire, go forth and rise up against the elite who say you cannot have a revolution for the people, to have a government of your choice. You will have my full support." - Ali Nasir Muhammad Husani, Deputy Chairman of the CPN.
