For nearly 100 years the people of our archipelago lived quietly, desiring to cause no one harm and wishing only for peace. Throughout the 1960's, there began an insidious trend by neighbouring nations to encroach upon our territory and take from us what is rightfully ours. THE TRAGEDY OF MORAC-SONGHRATI-MEADS Morac-Songhrati-Meads is a state located in the Humanity Sea (known by some as the South China Sea). It is a sovereign nation, as defined by the Treaty of Southwark (1893), The Treaty of Kuching (1897) and the Churchill-Ryant Agreement of 1944 (amongst others). November 1971 - Morac-Songhrati-Meads is invaded by China. Following this, Taiwan, the Philippines and South Vietnam also take advantage of our nation's lack of military might and invade. These nations (along with Malaysia) station troops throughout our country and begin to plunder our hard earned wealth. Since then, Morac-Songhrati-Meads has remained occupied by these nations which apply a strategy of destruction of our natural habitat for their own economic benefit and impoverishment of the Songhrato people. Meanwhile international opinion shows a quasi-general indifference to our plight. Although Songhrati has enormous natural resources like natural gas and oil and fisheries (providing US$ billions per year for the invading nations and complicit multinational oil companies), the Songhrato are living in poverty in foreign lands. Morac-Songhrati-Meads is NOT China, it is NOT Vietnam, it is NOT the Philippines, it is NOT Taiwan, it is NOT Malaysia. The Government-in-Exile calls upon men and women of good will, supporters of peace, democracy and justice to help it for its struggle for the independence of Morac-Songhrati-Meads.
