Have you heard the lies of those that sit in Beijing today? Has the knowledge of their working "Republic" come to you already? Have their achievements reached you, the man in the field?
No? There is a simple reason as to why, as someone who had been part of this revolution, i can tell you, why i have forsaken their cause, for it is neither righteous nor good. Their process of electing a leader, is neither by divine right, by knowledge or by merit, no it is the way of Bribery. The man that sells our homes and our land, all of China, including its peoples to the West, and proposes himself as a viable puppet receives the funds to buy himself the title of President, a false taste of Leadership, as after the choice is made, the only one's who truly profit are the businessmen of the West.
Their achievements are non-existant, and their cause of Revolution is false. Ever since the 19th Century and the later reign of the Qing Dynasty, those that abandoned the right, the Chinese cause, placed themselved as "reformers" as "modernizers", and instead of bringing reform, they sold China for their own prosperity and gain.
Look at me, where i stand, during the absence of the false republic, and their continued Revolution in the south, Manchuria, and the North of China have prospered, by choosing a way of reform for the People's of China, leading them out of their puppetry into a new state of internal perfection. I do not say, by any means, that foreigners, or the west are pure evil, and poisonous to China, as some like to claim, but the reform has to be made in a way compatible, not in such a way that it sells the hearts and souls of the People of China.
As a means to achieve this, we must look towards those, that have already achieved a combination of Western Governance and administration, and retained their native way, instead of being assimilated into the West, those who have taken the cause we have, the Japanese and the Siamese, free and independent peoples, not in the shackles of a few rich men from overseas.

THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA
Հայաստանի Հանրապետութիւն
[X] For the Republic of Armenia, the Armenian National Council
Armenians, we now have a state! Many sons died for this, both of ours, and our allies. We must forever remember those nations who stood with us through this war, and forever remember the horrible cost our people had to bear to have the sweetest of all gifts: Freedom.
Yes, we can now say it: We are free. We are independent. We should rejoice tonight, but tomorrow know there will be more hardship. We must bury the dead, and tend to the wounded. We must protect ourselves, and build a nation. We must feed the young, and care for the old. And we must remember that millions more Armenians live under occupation in the East, under a Communist regime. We express our hope we can one day free them, that the Soviet Union will hear reason and liberate our brethren, and reunite families who have already gone through so much. Every family has made a sacrifice for their country now. This shall not be in vain.
God Grant Armenia always be free. God Save the Armenian People.
Amen.

Republic of Lithuania
Republic of Lithuania considers polish occupation of Vilnius region illegitimate. Vilnius is capital, historical and integral center of Lithuania, Lithuanian culture and Lithuanian people. The fate of Vilnius region should be determined by fair referendum by local populace to determine their own future. They should choose whether they want to stay under polish government or rejoin Republic of Lithuania. Republic of Lithuania calls international community to support this just cause.

Republic of Turkey

Though some may disagree about signing this treaty, I believe that peace couldn't have come at a better time. A compromise has been reached at this point, a point where either side could have been victorious against the others. Some may call this an opportunity we missed. I call it a risk that would have threatened our independence. Even if we were victorious at this point, what would it have cost us? Lives, hundreds of lives. These lives aren't commodities to be sold, but real men. Men who have families and a livelihood. If we took this risk, it would have cost us lives. By signing this treaty, we have stopped bloodshed that would have affected both sides. Now, we can turn our attentions to things that matter, like developing a new economy that will strive in this new world. This treaty is a step towards this new world, a world that shapes us as we shape it. It's a bright future, but we have to take steps to get there. It begins with this one.
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
Though the French regime claims to desire peace, it is impossible to accept a simple return to the former status quo when those individuals currently ruling France have both been party to and directly engaged in delivering grievous wounds to the people of the Soviet Union. The world community has taken note of the many harms they have caused our great nation, participating or enabling invasions and blockades and terror-bombings from both sea and air alike. Even now, their continued bellicose rhetoric endangers the uneasy peace that has fallen over Europe, as they deny the true government of Hungary its rightful recognition and instead cast their support to a hated monarchist dictator, whose hollow "Kingdom" is little more than a facade for his reign of White terror.
Should the French Republic seek normalized relations and to enter into civilized bilateral negotiations regarding our current disputes, the Soviet Union has several essential conditions that, when met, will ensure that the numerous French crimes and misdeeds committed against its people and its government are left in the past and that will prove that the French government has set aside its imperialism and its jingoism in pursuit of a responsible, peaceful foreign policy.
The principal aim of the Soviet Union is to ensure that, should it enter the League of Nations, it is able to properly influence policy and prevent further misuse of the League's structures for corrupt ends, as was seen so recently in the heavily rigged Polish plebiscites. As such, any Soviet entry into the League will necessitate its acceptance as a permanent member of the League Council as a prerequisite, to guarantee that the League's moral authority is not further used as a weapon against burgeoning socialist nations whose only desires are peace and prosperity.
Additionally, the governments of the Entente must extend their unconditional recognition of the Soviet Union as the legitimate government of the sovereign peoples who reside within it, as well as their recognition of our established borders. They must establish this recognition in a public and binding manner.
Finally, the government of Great Britain must accept full responsibility for the heinous acts of barbarity committed against the Soviet people, issue a public apology for their crimes, and provide reparations for the lives sacrificed on the altar of British imperialism and the damage done to Soviet infrastructure, damage that has further impeded our government's ability to feed and provide for its Crimean citizens.
Should these conditions be met, the Soviet Union is willing to enter into negotiations regarding the Caucasus region, to establish bilateral diplomatic ties with those Western nations with whom it was previously in conflict, and commit itself to furthering the cause of peace and stability within Europe.

A political cartoon seen in Poland, responding to the Lithuanian demands
Translation:
A satirical picture from interwar Polish press (around 1925-1935): a caricature of marshal Józef Piłsudski and Lithuania, criticizing Lithuanian unwillingness to compromise over Vilnius region. Marshal Piłsudski offers the meat labeled "agreement" to the dog (with the collar labelled Lithuania); the dog barking "Wilno, wilno, wilno" replies: "Even if you were to give me Wilno, I would bark for Grodno and Białystok, because this is who I am".
