STOCKHOLM, QVAIT — "It is the number one goal of this administration, in terms of foreign policy, to get Ryccia into the Southern Cooperation Organisation." After being inaugurated as the sixth President of Qvait on 1 April, 2015, Gabriel David West said that this is his goal. On 1 November, 2014, the Ryccian government made the momentous decision to aid the Qvaitican people, who were defending their homeland from Sporaltryan invaders. It was then that Qvait and Ryccia fromed a friendship that would not be broken. Even though Qvait would stay isolated in the midst of the Laiwan Crisis that was happening earlier that year, Ryccia would help the Qvaiticans out in the Sporaltryan War, which made a difference.

Since the war, Qvait and Ryccia have remained allies. The reason why the two nations are remaining allies is because they expect something in return on both ends. For Qvait, even though no one is saying it, Qvaiticans want as many nations to be on their side in the event that another war breaks out between Qvait and Sporaltryus. In March 2014, Sporaltryus and Qvait were ranked fourth and fifth respectively in a Sedunnic study and would go to war in the latter half of 2014. Then, in a May 2015 study, it was shown that Sporaltryus and Qvait, as seen by the nations of the South Pacific, are numbers one and two respectively. Recently, this study is seen as proof to a number of politicians that there is an ongoing cold war between Qvait and Sporaltryus.

Increasing involvement in international politics began with President Dmitri Buzinsky and it led to war with Sporaltryus. Now unable to pull out, Qvait must push on and gain allies in the South Pacific in the hopes that it will have the necessary manpower of the Qvaitican Defense Forces and the help of its allies to defeat Sporaltryus, should a war begin. However, Qvait gained a rather controversial ally in Ryccia. In the eyes of a number of nations in the South Pacific, Ryccia is seen as an unstable government that needs to be crippled by economic sanctions and deep isolation. However, to keep Ryccia by its side, Qvaitican politicians are holding the belief that the country, which has been unrecognized by several nations, needs the opportunity to prove itself. On 12 June, Sporaltryan President Chris Flores proposed a Castietyan Pact, a pact of several nations that would impose economic sanctions and isolate Ryccia. However, Qvaitican Secretary of Defense Johnathon Victor has said that such a pact is an "invitation for war," a war that Qvait is preparing against.

After the debacle that had happened on the floor of the Southern Cooperation Organisation regarding Ryccian accession and President Flores's Castietyan Pact, President West became infuriated, "I am not mad, I am furious! Right after regaining membership in the Southern Cooperation Organisation, Sporaltryus wants to go after our ally Ryccia…I support our SCO Representative Jon Brennan's statement in which he said that the Sporaltryans need to ease the relationship of their nation with Ryccia." Even though Qvait is preparing for a war with Sporaltryus, it is doing everything it can to delay and avoid it. Qvaitican Secretary of Intelligence and Security Victor Cutter said, "We are doing everything possible to avoid military confrontation, but I have to agree with Secretary Victor that Sporaltryus is making an open 'invitation for war.'"

Labor congresswoman and potential 2016 presidential frontrunner Margaret Harrison told a reporter that the military buildup will hurt Qvait in the long-run, but it is unavoidable, "the ever-growing tension between Ryccia and Sporaltryus affects everyone." She said that the Qvaitican Congress would not be hesitant to delcare war on Sporaltryus if it takes any military action against one of its allies. "Ryccia is an ally that Qvait needs and the problems that our allies have are our problems too. As such, we are going to have to address these problems and take proper actions to resolve them." Some time ago, President West has approached the nations of Awesomiasa, Farengeto, Laiwan, Ryccia, and Sporaltryus with the proposal to hold six-party talks in the hope that all of the existing problems between the involved nations are resolved. However, those talks would be cancelled due to a lack of planning.
