Luthori

[Ligbruderkrieg]

Holian-Keaty's National Labour Party has only been in office for a few weeks now, but with the appointment of seasoned diplomat, Dr. Henry Jacob Schnee Jr as Foreign Secretary, it seemed that a page was turning in the Foreign Office’s long and extended history. The newly appointed Foreign Secretary announced that the Department of Foreign Affairs would be following a “new line of conduct”, he said. 

This “new line of conduct” subtly refers to the policymaking of the Department. For long, the Conservatives have pushed forward a policy of “non-interventionism nor weakness”, while this policy has long since been breached at many moments, it called for Luthori to remain both aloof in its foreign entanglements and most importantly to not push ideological elements into its policy.  

Now – with an empowered Labour Party now in government, Dr. Schnee has begun to carefully tear down the Conservatives’ policy. In a memorandum released on May 3rd, the Foreign Office stated that the current policy doctrine was “needlessly outdated” and that Luthori “desperately needed a new line of conduct of its foreign policy, one that reflects the Luthorian Empire’s new status as a rising power.”, the memo stated. 

Yesterday, in light of these developments, the Foreign Office revealed its new policy platform, nicknamed “P.E.A.K”, an acroymn standing for “Peace, Enlightenment, Awareness and Knowledge”, this new policy stands as the new arms of the Luthorian Empire when pressing its interests outwards. The first letter, P stands for Peace. In the declaration, it is stated that “Luthori will press, first and foremost, for the preservation of peace by any means throughout the world”, this statement is merely a reaffirmation of the Labour Party’s long-standing policy on the world stage.  

E – standing for “Enlightenment”, is a new, unfamiliar vocabulary – it calls for the clear endorsement of liberal democratic values by the Foreign Office when reflecting upon its policies and decision-making. “Luthori is one of many homes of liberal democratic values for which we all care – freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of representation – all of these freedoms must no longer be restrained to the Empire itself, but be pressed forwards by His Majesty’s Foreign Office throughout the World”, stated the paper in reflection of this policy – it signals a shift from the Foreign Office’s part, for decades, Luthori restrained itself in ideological debates, with numerous policy thinkers arguing that it would be a “total waste of the diplomat’s time and effort in preserving and expanding Luthorian interests” - towards a total endorsement of the liberal democratic system of governance, this unwavering committment to liberal democracy could have been encouraged by Luthori's ascension into MATO years earlier.

A – standing for “Awareness” - representing another facet of this policy, one too many times overlooked by the Foreign Department, and that is of recognising Luthori’s past deeds as a former colonial power or in its intervention, by offering “concrete and real apologies and reparations”, this shift in power was encouraged by His Majesty The Emperor’s apologies in Bianjie during his Dovani tour. Dr. Schnee has been repeatedly calling in his conferences the Luthorian government to formally apologise for its role in colonialism and offers “concrete and real solution” in order to move on from this “dark chapter” in Luthorian history. 

To conclude, through the K - “Knowledge”, the Luthorian government announced its intention to act as the main “protector” of the Luthorian language and culture worldwide, through the foundation of the “Luthorian Institute”, this institute will be operating educational centres throughout the world and will be enrolling individuals interested in learning about Luthori, its culture, its history, its language and more. The foundation of this agency is expected when the Institute Establishment Bill would have passed both the Imperial Diet and the House of Peers. 

Foreign Secretary Schnee defended his new policies this morning after Conservatives and HPP lawmakers argued against its implementation, with even current Shadow Peer Leader, Lord Stanley expressing his disapproval of the statement. He simply stated that “Luthori needs to move on and be bound to the fragility of Conservative politics”.
