[b]THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF THE NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES[/b][/CENTER]

The strong and consistent decline in violence by the seperatists in the East Indies is a trend that shows no sign of stopping. The Kingdom lauds these developments, which show to the world, and the Soviet Empire in particular, that the Indonesian people the TNI claims to represent owe their allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen, and not to a clique of collaborators. With these developments come the lifting of measures, between increased military presence and martial law, and the demobilisation of units. Once again, we send an offer of amnesty to all fighters of the TNI. Come out, wherever in this beautiful land you are hiding, and surrender your weapons to the Army. You will be treated honourably and then sent back to your family. Your fight has been in vain since the beginning. With the cessation of violence it will be possible for Indonesia to develop and gain an autonomous status for Java and Sumatra too.

We would also like to announce that the plans for granting autonomy to the various states of Indonesia have been finalised and shall begin in 1955. Indonesia is too large and too diverse to responsibly administer as one unit, and as such the following countries have been made and shall be federal states under "Indonesia".

Java: The islands of Java, Madura, Pulau Paliat and Pulau Saubi.
Sumatra: The island of Sumatra, the Riau islands, Bangka, Belitung, and the Nias islands.
East Indonesia: The Lesser Sunda islands and Celebes.
The Moluccas
Borneo
New Guinea

East Indonesia, The Moluccas, Borneo and New Guinea are currently in a position to be reformed and prepared for its autonomous status under the East Indies, and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. However, security concerns prevent Java and Sumatra from being subject to these reforms. However it is our intention to do this as soon as the situation allows it. The time that the colonies existed for the motherland is over, and the old line of the Mission to Civilise will no longer be an empty phrase used to excuse colonialism. It shall be our task to guide your development into success, so that the countries of Indonesia may become autonomous parts of the Kingdom.
