DUNDORF LOOKING FOR ECONOMIC INTERACTION OPPORTUNITIES
 
ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER
 
Foreign Office, November 29, 5712: After Foreign Minister Gunther Krancke chaired a seminar on Dundorf’s sparse relations with Dovani, ODERVELD – LEUCHTFEUER asked Krancke if ruling out membership in the Majatra – Artania treaty Organization was a retreat into isolation, and he replied:
 

Not at all.  Generally speaking the Bundesrepublik is open to free trade agreements and non aggression pacts with almost all nations absent outright pariah status, naked aggression or actual abuse of its own citizenry.
 
With that said, the Bundesrepublik is not particularly concerned with the political structure of the governments of other nations.  We are concerned with the conduct of others internationally and with respect to their own citizens but whether they are led by royalty, First Secretaries, Presidents, Prime Ministers, military juntas, High Priests or Matriarchs is not our concern.

Why?  Our own history features periodic swings from privatizing all means of production to nationalizing them and back again before settling on a de facto arrangement of a mixed economic structure so we do not think we are in much of a position to be orchestrating the structure of other nations.
 
What we are emphasizing at the moment is being sure our Artanian trade is optimized and locating opportunities elsewhere.  For instance, in the rememberable past our Dovanian relations have been limited to helping Xzampa get its railroad system going and investing a little in crude oil exploration off Nsanlosa. Obviously we can do more.
