&&BRIEF
"Malaysia is the economic and military power of the area.  Their standard of living far exceeds that of its neighbors further adding to the strife in the area.  Jakarta, Jawa Tengh and Jawa Timur hold the majority of the population and industries but are confined to a very small land mass."

&&NOTES
"By 2006, most economies around the world were suffering.  Many regions then attempted drastic reforms in hopes that they could weather the hard times.  Other countries instead chose to live in denial.  Regardless of which policy economists supported, they all agreed that no other country made as poor economic decisions as those of Indonesia. ¶On the recommendation of his economic advisors, the President of Indonesia ordered the Nationalization of Pertamina, the principal petroleum producer, citing repeated production shortages from expected levels.  Immediately this required additional investment to modernize the equipment and improve efficiencies in the industry.  At the same time, and to divert attention from world economic troubles, the government initiated a program to develop large areas of Kalimantan and New Guinea.  These areas would see new manufacturing development built near fresh, spacious cities coupled with excellent harbors to facilitate international trade.  The development in New Guinea was part of an agreement with the Papuan Government to see a similar development (although smaller-scale) created along their shared border.  ¶For a time many of these actions seemed to not only be innovative, but also brilliant.  Priority for relocation was given to dissidents and the fiscal summaries reflected that a positive impact had been created by the nationalization of Pertamina - reducing the region's overall debt.  This was unfortunately a smokescreen...  The government had in reality been spending far beyond its income and was instead putting vast amounts of new currency into circulation to pay for their expenses.  When this became public in late 2008, the currency immediately crashed.  International pressure immediately forced Indonesia to adopt the World Market currency, and Malaysia demanded compensation for its investments.  As the region's economy disintegrated, the President was found dead - apparently the victim of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.  The Government fell within 48 hours and independence was called for from every island.  Even Java, the main Indonesian land masse, became three separate districts."

&&EMAIL 01 - Aceh
"Now that we have achieved an independent Aceh, we need to give our nation some direction.  We have few industries and even our production of food and water do not meet demand.  With such necessities lacking, maintaining civil order may prove difficult.  ¶Looking at our neighboring regions, Malaysia poses the greatest threat.  They are still looking for compensation and may look to claim territory to cover their financial losses.  Sumatera may be more vulnerable as they have a greater supply of natural resources and would be a more valuable prize.  Some of our military advisors have already suggesting building a military force to try and seize those assets ourselves."

&&EMAIL 02 - Sumatera
"Malaysia poses the greatest threat as they are still looking for compensation and may look to claim territory to cover their financial losses.  Economically we have some potential since our petroleum production can help finance greater growth.  The biggest danger to our continued independence is the concern that our abundant natural resources are likely to make us an attractive target to our ambitious neighbors.  Trading surplus resources to Jakarta to maintain peace may be our best hope. Our military forces are meager but this would allow us to concentrate our forces in the north and guard our assets."

&&EMAIL 03 - Jakarta
"Malaysia poses the greatest threat as they are still looking for compensation and may look to claim territory to cover their financial losses.  We also face a second threat sharing such a small landmass with two other regions.  Our military forces are barely sufficient to maintain internal security and any outside threats could severely stretch our resources.  We may need to look for some trade agreements with the more remote regions to obtain the goods we need.  Stabilizing our economy and growing our military is the only way we will ever be able to gain full control of the island."

&&EMAIL 06 - West Kalimantan
"Malaysia poses the greatest threat as they are still looking for compensation and may look to claim territory to cover their financial losses.  The fact that we border on them makes us one of their likely first targets.  We must attempt to forge an alliance with them so that they will allow us to retain our sovereignty.  Not only don't we have the resources and manufacturing facilities needed to challenge them, our military pales in comparison.  If they decide to invade, there is likely nothing that can be done to stop them. ¶¶If by some chance they do leave us alone temporarily, we should take that opportunity to build our forces as much as possible.  An alliance with East Kalimantan may actually give us the combined force needed to push Malaysia off Borneo entirely."

"Malaysia poses the greatest threat as they are still looking for compensation and may look to claim territory to cover their financial losses.  We must be careful to take small steps and first look after the needs of our own region.  Our dependence on imports along with our limited manufacturing capacity severely handicaps our economy.  We should see if there are any untapped resources we can develop.  Otherwise we should attempt to improve our manufacturing capabilities, and make sure we expand our power generation to match any increase in demand. ¶¶If Malaysia does invade, it is unlikely they will bother landing in the jungle areas.  They will target our major cities, especially our capital (Ujung Pandang) and hope for a quick surrender.  You must therefore deploy our forces strategically where you think they will do the most good."

&&EMAIL 09 - Timor
"A threat from Malaysia is a real possibility as they are still looking for compensation and may look to claim territory to cover their financial losses.  While this is a possibility, there is little chance that we would face them first.  Expansion from Jakarta, Jawa Tengh or Jawa Timur is a more likely concern.  As such, our economy must be our initial priority. We don't yet have sufficient funding to expand our defense force and we are currently easy prey to any of these threats.  Fortunately, are neighbors are likely waiting in dread of Malaysia's first move. ¶¶Our biggest concern is the difficulty we will have in deploying our troops to the various islands in our region. If Malaysia or others do invade, they will target our major cities and our capital (Dili).  They will focus on cities that we have not managed to defend, hoping for a quick surrender.  You must therefore deploy our forces strategically where you think they will do the most good."

&&EMAIL 10 - Irian Jaya
"While Malaysia is a potential threat to many of the islands, we are nicely isolated from most of these concerns.  Even ambitions from Jakarta, Jawa Tengh or Jawa Timur seem less threatening.  Nonetheless, we must not disregard the issues entirely.  We don't have the resources and manufacturing facilities needed to challenge anyone but we do have a potential for economic growth.  The recent collaborations with Papua New Guinea need not have died with our former administration.  Perhaps by working together we can use our defensible position to weather any coming conflicts and emerge as an economic leader.  ¶We should see if we have any underdeveloped resources in our region that we could better exploit.  That could make a huge difference to our development.  Alternately we could continue to improve our manufacturing base though we would need to ensure that our electrical production keeps up.  Attempting both could be beyond the reach of our economy."

&&EMAIL 11 - Papua New Guinea
"Our small nation has not generally concerned itself with affairs outside our borders but recent events seem to leave us little choice.  The collapse of Indonesia has sent an already volatile area into true chaos.  Malaysia looks as though they will have little patience for this and may begin to take the area by force.  There is little doubt that if they chose to begin an offensive no one is currently in a position to stop them.  So far we have not been impacted by the situation as Irian Jaya seems to have been well prepared for functioning independently but we now have a difficult choice.  Moving the economic ties we had with Indonesia to predominantly Irian Jaya may maintain the economic advantages we've been enjoying but if any invading forces reach this far, they might decide to add our country to their conquests. ¶¶Economically, the growth we've had in the last few years is certainly a course we should continue.  Greater manufacturing capabilities will decrease import costs and I recommend we exploit our potential for hydropower.  Our low labor costs would also give us large margin opportunities if we can begin to export any finished goods."

&&EMAIL 12 - Malaysia
"The recent events in Indonesia have had some unpleasant consequences for us.  The unification with Singapore could not have been achieved had we not been holding investments in Indonesia that all believed would provide a future financial windfall.  Our demands for compensation are not likely to yield anything, now that there is no central government to hold accountable.  Our generals feel that we have the forces and the justification to take the entire area.  This may have a secondary advantage of relieving pressures domestically since conflicts may distract from troubles at home. ¶¶If we do proceed to an offensive, we should first consolidate the island of Borneo and use that as our staging grounds.  When we are ready to move past Borneo we should target the regions wealthier in resources, such as Sumatera with its petroleum and agriculture.  Depriving the larger regions of these resources may cause instability that will help our take-over."
