Josain President Seiko Kumoya has put it forth a referendum in order to enshrine Josain political neutrality in the republic’s constitution. The proposal comes as a means of maintaining Josain sovereignty and ensure that Josai remains the honest broker among nations shielded from any political entanglements overseas. The principle of Josain honest brokerage is guided by the rational of Josai having no bias to any nation or any other multilateral political entity and thus one that can be free to host several meetings amongst officials of many nations and broker diplomatic functions in a neutral space for all leaders of all nations and multi-lateral entities to conduct business and affairs of state.
Thus in order to make sure that Josai will not be isolated from the world, the President wishes for Josai to be signatory members of non-governmental organisations as well as other regional political and economic entities with observer status. Such organisations would be the following:
• The Assembly of Ardia
• JET (Joint Emergency Team)
• Cultural Exchange Treaty Organisation
• SANE (South Ardian New Electorate)
• CSU (Cross Straits Union)
As well as signa agreements of the following:
• Mundus Convention of Universal Rights
• Upsala Convention
• Fair Seas Concordant
The referendum is proposed to take place within the next 3 months as the federal diet as well as the President and members of her cabinet set up the means of voting which will be monitored by the Josain Electrical Commission (JEC) as well as seeing if any international observers wish to monitor the referendum. It is predicted by many that such a law would boost Josai’s standing in the international stage when it comes to diplomacy, foreign policy and trade and investment relationships as having no constraints or commitments to any party would allow for more representation of Josai’s interests abroad and protect the nation from foreign entanglements.
