The Taiyō Initiatives (太陽戦略, Taiyō Senryaku) is a series of Hoterallian foreign policies, doctrines, and mutual treaties with Freice, started by Hoterallian Government Representative in Freice, Taiyō Yamashita. In 1969, Taiyō became one of the first foreign ambassadors to recognize the Freician self-governing movement. The strategy emerged in 1971 and shaped Hoterallian foreign policy towards Freice into the 21st century.
The initiatives, according to scholars, go as follows. Firstly, Hoterallia is firmly willing to support Freice regarding development funds and monetary and social aid. Second, Hoterallia will do its best to consolidate the relationship of confidence and trust based on the understanding between the people of Freice and Hoterallia. Third, Hoterallia firmly believes that with cultural, social, and political cooperation between the two countries, Freice can be able to strengthen their solidarity and resilience. The economic dimension was fostered by Genki Iizuka, who served as the second Hoterallian Government Representative in Freice. The Taiyō Initiatives was officially accepted by Freice and the actual term was coined in 1988. Most historians argue the policies were wise and successful, helping Freice develop in such a short period, never seen since the Hoterallian occupation. Meanwhile, others have criticized the policies for Hoterallian blatant neo-imperialist motives on Freice and the apparent foreign approach the Hoterallian made to strengthen Hoterallian interests in Freice.[1]
Historical background
Taiyō Yamashita
Taiyō Yamashita, before becoming the first Hoterallian Hoterallian Government Representative in Freice, was Administrative Vice-Minister of Finance of Hoterallia. An economics expert, he saw the potential in several eastern nations to establish bilateral relations. One of the countries he noticed was Freice.
Freice was once a Hoterallian colony before returning to Riamese rule. In 1969, Freice achieved self-government, granting Taiyō a chance to step in and push forward Hoterallia's pacifistic position while making an effort to strengthen relations with Freice.[2]
Early Taiyō Initiatives
The first period in the Taiyō Initiatives can be characterized by Taiyō's visit to Freice in 1969 as a Hoterallian delegation to support Freice's self-government process. The so-called "Delegation Diplomacy" put a high priority on development and aimed at peaceful expansion of Hoterallia's economic power in foreign markets, in order to build the economy and raise the living standards of the population in Freice. The "Delegation Diplomacy" began to be popular when the Little Orajioe community in Sekapa received funding from mainland Hoterallians, helping the community economically grow into one of the fastest areas in Sekapa.[3]
Popularization and strengthened support of the Initiatives
Witnessing the early success, Taiyō was motivated to expand the planned initiatives and aimed to bring together Hoterallian know-how in order to secure strategic resources and sustain the economic growth of Hoterallia. The Hoterallian delegation then began to be actively involved in Freician political and economical development. During the period following the Freice's official independence, Hoterallia assisted the newly created Freician government with many of the country's projects. In spite of the involvement, however, the essence of the Hoterallian policy didn't change significantly, focusing on making the Hoterallia the main priority of Freician allies.[1]
To improve the Freicians' perception of Hoterallia, the Hoterallian government and delegation started the Special Cooperative Agreements in 1987, a series of annual economic funding in hope of supporting the Freician national and local economies. The agreements were further supported by the Hoterallian Official Development Department (ODD), which at the time was mainly tied aid. It paved the way for Hoterallian businesses to work on development projects and promoted the penetration of Hoterallian involvement in the country.[4] As a result of this convergence of interests, Freicians first welcomed the Hoterallian textile industries, then electronics and telecommunication businesses, contributing to the development of new economic links.[3]
The Hoterallian Ministry of Education also offered the Nan'yō Scholarship, a prestigious academic scholarship offered exclusively for Freician youth, creating the modern wave of immigrants in Hoterallia. The practice of picking Freician students to study in Hoterallia dated back to the occupation, and many modern-day Freician-Hoterallian has their origins as students in Hoterallia.[5]
The Initiatives also received support from the Hoterallian Wave Group of the Hoterallian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to project its soft power as a means to broaden its relations beyond the economic field, further contributing to long-term stable ties with Freice.[6] The Hoterallian Wave Group set up the Freician Youth Invitation Program to invite young Freician leaders to Hoterallia. The annual South Seas Cartoonists Award was also set up to promote the socio-cultural of Freician-Hoterallian aspects.[3]
Imona Kahatipaia

Imona Kahatipaia (Hoterallian: 賄賂資金, lit. bribing funds) is a popular term for funds provided by Hoterallia to Freice to receive Hoterallian priority over trades and port usages. The official term is Foreign Funds for The Development of Freice (並外民発展のための外資, Namimin Hatten no Tame no Gaishi). Although the term technically only covers the portion of financial support from the Hoterallian government, it is popularly used to refer to Hoterallian support as a whole.[4]
The term originates from comments made in 2002 by the then member of the Assembly of Delegates (and subsequent Common Wealth Party coup figure), Pijal Biraqu, in criticism of the sudden growth of Hoterallian influence in Freice. When questioned about the expenditure, Pijal replied that they were provided out to "bribe the Freicians".[7]
The support provided by the Hoterallian government has rapidly expanded since 1985. Although initially handled on an ad hoc basis, since 1987, the Freician and Hoterallian governments have signed a series of Special Cooperative Agreements (SCA) formally establishing the Hoterallian commitment of support. The most recent SCA, covering the six-year period from 2009–2014, was signed in January 2009.
