How would the Technate conduct its international affairs?
International affairs of any nature would be the special concern of the Foreign Relations Sequence. As with all other Sequences, its personnel would be specially trained for their work, having among its staff a selection of personnel who, in total, could speak most of the major languages of the world. In addition they would be conversant with the history, geography, social mechanisms and other pertinent characteristics of all countries they would be dealing with; in other words, the balance of the world outside the Technate area. By keeping in constant touch with world affairs, the Foreign Relations Sequence would instantly be aware of an emergency occurring in any area and so would be able to render whatever assistance it required of personnel or supplies. All such assistance would, of course, be given without any strings attached. 6.
