Diplomacy:
FedCom is open to direct negotiations with all sovereign nation-states, including established and recognized nations, de facto sovereign nations, and self-sovereign nations/micronations. FedCom conducts its foreign relations in a manner congruent to its national interests and cultural identity.
Interventionism:
The people of Malatora consider it a fundamental right of all nations to be left in peace and to manage their own affairs, independent of external influences. FedCom only supports the unilateral intervention in the internal affairs of a sovereign state when a failure to engage in such action would result in allowing genocide to occur — this is considered an unacceptable breach of the social contract, and when a nation's government turns against its own people, such an act invalidates that government's legitimacy. FedCom will not stand idle and allow such atrocities to occur: if we have the power to stop it, we have a duty to use that power.
Military Action:
FedCom subcribes to the theory of "defensive political realism": our military stands ready to defend our nation from aggression, but we do not seek conflict. If threatened with harm, FedCom will use an appropriate degree of force to defend itself, but we wish to avoid conflict whenever possible. FedCom considers the following actions to be valid justifications for war (casus belli) — committing any of these actions against FedCom will provoke an immediate military response:
Terrorism:
The indiscriminate and deliberate use of violence and fear against civilians, for political purposes, is the difference between a "terrorist" and a "freedom fighter" (the military strategy of Total War is a different matter). FedCom condemns terrorism, but may support freedom fighters on a case-by-case basis, depending on whether or not their goals and methods are compatible with FedCom's national interests and moral standards.

Envoys of foreign governments can quickly and easily contact the FedCom government through the Foreign Communications section of our message board. Due to government transparency policies, the FedCom government cannot conceal diplomatic negotiations from its citizens, so we typically set up a specialized "hotline" to communicate privately with foreign envoys in a way that keeps a permanent record of the exchange. FedCom uses these secure "hotlines" as its primary facilitator of bilateral negotiations.
