Region: the Pacific

Denis: So, the reason I'm here is because I see the municipalities of antarctica as a very succesful socialist state regarding political relations with nations across the Pacific and I believe it's mostly thanks to your remarkable diplomatic skills that MoA is where it is now. I'd like to know the following:
First, if the red party does become the leader of Novoblupolia, can we expect economic and political support from fellow socialists?
Second, how should I devolute the state into many local autority-ruled zones and which labor unions should posess control over which spheres of society?
Last but not least, *takes out a small box with tea* would you like some tea?

"You provide me too much credit in regards to diplomacy, that is down to the Ministry of Diplomatic Affairs, I assure you of that." Cetiri gave a warm smile.
"As for your questions... well, I shall put it such as this.
If you were to gain control of Novoblupolia, through democratic and fair means, I would be most willing to offer support to you, so long as you maintain a fair and free society whilst you are at it."
Cetiri then tackles the next question.

"Devolution, is a difficult policy to enact when you are a state that did not start with it, unlike the MoA. Though the way that it should operate is that a region, based with a city at it's heart, and guided by geographical and cultural borders, is typically best suited to become a locally administrated zone. If you find that a shared identity exists within an area, then it should be allowed to operate with some freedom, though you must always be cautious of how you develop these regions, or else you may inspire jealousy and conflict between each zone.
As for labor unions?... We don't utilize those as a means of controlling aspects of society, our system relies on the central government, and the various ministries, which are structured so that they operate their relevant aspects. Each municipality has a branch of each ministry, these ministries handle affairs of services, and are provided funding by the levels above them. The government allows them to operate as their municipality requires, with little oversight beyond moral and legal obligations, in order to keep them true to their missions."

She pauses for a moment, and then finishes.
"As for the tea question... well, I'm afraid I must decline. I've been having some stomach irritation, and have been forced to watch what I eat and drink."
