Foreign Affairs Theory Page

Welcome to the Foreign Affairs Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the Foreign Affairs series.

Current & Unconfirmed Theories

 * Dionne will be an antagonist: It is believed that Dionne isn't as nice as she seems and will cause trouble later in the story.
 * Standing up to our mother: It is believed that at some point our character will have the option to berate our mother for placing her political career above her child and constantly dictating our social life.
 * Our mom and Blaine: Some players believe our mom pulled strings to get Blaine expelled from Vancross to keep him/her away from us.
 * Winston as antagonist: Some players think that Winston will turn out to be the antagonist, given how close he is to Your Character's mother, which gives him the opportunity for a betrayal without being obvious. Moreover, he suggested that Your Character secretly meet their love interest, implying a hidden agenda. In Chapter 10, he attempts to get the MC to tell him who their love interest is.
 * Fake Date's confession: It is believed that Alexei/Evelyn wants to tell us that they're in love with Henri or that they're developing actual feelings for the MC.
 * Leak: It is believed that either Henri or Winston is leaking information to the Paparazzi.

Confirmed Theories

 * December release: Due to the recent trend where one book is released at the end of each month, it is believed this book will be released at the end of December and is the last book of 2020. The December 2020 newsletter confirmed that the book will be released sometime this month. It is later confirmed that the book will be released on December 30, making this book the last book of the year.
 * Fictional countries: Based on the sneak peeks for this book, it is believed the story will be set in two fictional countries rather than the US, as is the case for most Choices books. This is strengthened when a teaser released on December 11, 2020 shows some fictional countries. On December 22, 2020, a blogpost confirmed that the story takes place in a fictional world.
 * Storyline: There are several theories about the kind of political drama this story is about.
 * Foreign disputes: Due to the title of this book and the sneak peek released in Choices Insider November 2020, it is believed this story will be about solving disputes with a foreign country. This theory is strengthened when it is revealed that our country, Rutherland, has a feud with Blaine's country, Ardona.
 * Running for president: Some players theorize that we will be playing as a presidential candidate, especially since this book will be released not long after the recently concluded US general election. However, this theory is weakened when the book title is revealed.
 * In Chapter 2, we can earn diplomacy points to gain support for a peace summit, thus it can be said that the storyline involves settling foreign disputes.

Debunked Theories

 * Gender-locked: Due to the recent surge in gender-locked books and the profession-based premise, it is possible this book will be gender-locked as well. On November 23, 2020, a blog post revealed that this story will be Gender of Choice.
