Principles of Foreign Policy

[P3D]

1. Orange does not tolerate insecurity on its borders. If other nations prove to be incapable of providing adequate measures, Orange will take the necessary measures.

2. Orange feels favorably towards republics, and less favorably towards monarchies. Any attempt by the latter goup against members of the former will trigger some reaction from Orange.

3. Orange does not want to believe that there is a world conspiracy of monarchies acting against Republics in general, but recent happenings unfortunately justify such a paranoid view.

4. Orange has no faith in multilateral agreements. Monarchies unfortunately had a tendency of ingoring them completely in the past, so such agreements worth as much as the paper they are written on - and the paper they are written on is usually a bit hard. Also such treaties might be against Orange interests.
There were precendence that Orange declared that it would abide some of the conventions with some qualifications, although not being a signatory to them

5. On the other hands, Orange believes in bilateral agreements that take the involved parties' national interests into account, and where the parties are responsible to hold to their words

6. Orange prefers informal agreements where abiding the agreement is the best interest
of the parties involved. Nations actings against their interests just because they are bound by the treaty are unreliable partners

7. On the other hand Orange abides its agreements. Even if such an agreement might not be advantageous in the short term.

8. Orange always pays its debts. Currently Orange owes a lot to some parties, e.g. Brandenburg.
