I skimmed it. It didn't really say anything about goals. Checking the Wikipedia page, I got the feeling that the EU cared more about re-establishing peace than getting the "legitimate" government back in power. Especially since the legitimate government is hated by most of the nation at this point.

And I'm trying to fix the at-war thing. Others are trying diplomacy, I'm saying that is anyone's open to diplomacy I'll diplomatize with them.

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

The Great Plains are open to diplomacy from the E.U., provided that:

1. We get recognized as a sovereign nation.
2. We are respected as more than just dirt farmers in Europe, and are seen as political, intellectual and military equals.
3. We're given aid.
 
In return, we'll shelter any Europeans taking shelter in the Great Plains area. We can't give them back to you yet, as it's too risky flying/boating over Pennsylvania, which is controlled by the NEA.

Wikipedia is a quick summery, It didn't even list how the other factions got in power, or the plot of that game is really THAT bad, but I'm not going to argue with you, ok?

We accept the first and second terms, and acceptance of the third is pending on understanding the amount of "aid" you wish to be provided with.

Alright.
I'm just going off of what I know and what makes sense.

"Order our members to start the construction of new navy ships. Destroyers, submarines, cruisers, everything. We must secure our resource trades from the Pacific.

Also, send scouts to report on what the other factions are planning, including any messages they have sent our way. Start working on the collections of natural resources and the taxation of the people, but keep taxation low: we do not want to upset our people at this point. Start a bast for military training and begin an inclusive draft. See what factories we can commandeer, and have them change to food, war machines, and natural resource production and conversion."

Just pointing it out, their is also no diplomacy in the video game version. it was basically just a free for all battle for the U.S.A from what I heard.

"We need military technology and food."

This game is going to have a diplomatic aspect, right?

As far as I can tell, the video game seemed to be a single-player game.

"Food can be provided. Military aid will be given. We will gladly sell weapons. However, as our goal is peace, we feel no obligation to give out the tools of war for free."

"We understand if that's your reasoning. But for our own sake, establishing peace is not a plan on our current agenda, when we're at risk of thousands of our civilians dying from invasion or bombardment."

"If that occurs, we will provide immediate military aid. In addition, as stated, we are open to agreements to provide military technology as needed. We are not in an economic or political situation where we can simply give tanks and missile launchers out for free, however."

"Understandable, I will enact a policy on what we have agreed upon."

Enact Mutual Policy between The Great Plains and the European Union:

The Great Plains:
1. Non-hostilities with the E.U.
2. Protection of all Europeans taking refugee inside the Great Plains area.
3. Transfer of European refugees to E.U. when Pennsylvania region is conquered by either of our forces.

E.U.:
1. Recognize The Great Plains as a sovereign nation, equal in stature and recognition to any member of the E.U.
2. Provide food aid to The Great Plains.
3. Provide military aid to The Great Plains upon attack from another nation.
4. Open up weapon trading with The Great Plains.

A month seems pretty reasonable.
