	To be honest I think that we will go it alone and try and stay
out of any
major conflict and avoid taking sides (unless it involves the IC). I
don't
know why but I have this recollection of a Confederate commerce raider
and
a Federal warship both being in AUS (Melbourne I think) at the same time
during the Civil War. Basically the OU will be nominally neutral,
provide
humanitarian aid where possible, allow anyone to visit and kill everyone
who has a fight in our territory.

	At the risk of offeneding someone out there, it is my
understanding from
Cambodian, Vietnamese and ABC (Australian Born Chinese) friends that no
native peoples of SE Asia likes the Chinese. Watch the news and see the
race/religous roits occuring in Indonesia right now. The IC won't seek
help
from the European-Colonial powers and will hate the Chinese. They will
probably have connections to the Saeed Khalifate and the IF. Afterall
Indonesia is the worlds most populous Muslim country.
