Foreign policy-wise [[Chi Long Qua]] favored a muscular foreign policy and was not very open to compromise on [[Daxia]]n objectives. He lent significant political and material support to [[Canpei]]'s government of national emergency on the stated condition that it follow [[Daxia]]n leadership of the region. When a top [[Canpei]] official suggested an arrangement dependent on 'shared values' [[Chi Long Qua]] threatened an invasion; in the president's eyes the deal was simple: you receive our generosity and do as we say, there is no wiggle room. Relations with [[Rusana]] continued in the same track as before, Qua exerted a heavy handed pressure on its internal affairs with the connivance of minority groups and bribed tribal chiefs and supported by his military presence. He continually pushed for more rights to be enshrined for ethnic Daxians and for the implementation of a quota system for political representation and cabinet positions. The implementation of his proposed quota system was one of the last achievements in the realm of foreign policy. He also put forward the notion of an Audonian cooperation organization, a vehicle of economic colonialism in his conception; the [[Audonia Community of Economic Cooperation]] would be the end product of this kernel.

The succession of Qua was a more ordered and smooth affair than his own climb to power, it was him that set down the exact process for his successors to follow. Beginning in 1971 he gave his cabinet ministers the operational freedom to start building networks and quietly canvassing internally; that this was all against the electoral laws of the time was immaterial. That the president already had a favorite was only rumored, all the prospects seemingly thought they had a chance to be the ones invested by the presidential finger. On March 1972 at a plenary meeting of the NRF, Bao Freng the president of the All-Daxian Workers Central Union announced to the plenum that all the sectors of the party had agreed that [[Min Bib Doda]], then Minister of Finance, would be the party's presidential candidate for the 1972 presidential election. Bao Freng's announcement of the candidate would be replicated verbatim in all presidential candidate announcements from then on, another ritual of the NRF wherein the so called sectors of the party had discussed and come to unanimous agreement; there was no such agreement only the president's word and the absolute obedience of the party to it. Doda was a dour economist who owed his career completely to Qua, a man of the system through and through who could be relied on to not rock the boat and carefully curate ~~qua~~'s legacy.

===Min Bib Doda era===

Min Bib Doda was never a man of the people; variously described as a bespectacled bookworm, a cardboard cutout, a grandfather dazed by the sun and an unimaginative toadie. Over time he proved to be all these things but also demonstrated an almost machine like perseverance in achieving his goals, despite his obvious shortcomings as a candidate. The support of [[Chi Long Qua]] meant reaching the presidency was a foregone conclusion but the numbers and the margins of such a victory were almost as important, an important dip in the number of NRF voters would gravely undermine the party's monolithic and rock solid grip on power; such was the wisdom at the time.

===Yang Qiu era and the Slow Death===
