Foreign relations of Carna

The foreign relations of Carna are Carna's relations with governments and organisations throughout the world. Following the Carnish Revolution and the subsequent establishment of the People's Republic of Carna, Carna's relations became increasingly coloured by its Bairdist ideology. Between the 1950s and 1980s, Carna entered a period of significant hostility with other nations, as most world powers, particularly Urcea, sought to see the Carnish Union overthrown and the Carnish monarchy reinstated. Carna's relations with its former colonial subjects of New Kinlaig and Brumalea were also particularly hostile during this period, with both countries having taken in much of the Carnish aristocracy following the revolution, with Brumalea even retaining the Carnish monarchy. New Kinlaig's system of apartheid and white minority rule also contributed to its hostile relations with its former colonial overlord. However, since the revolution, Carna has maintained a highly internationalist outlook. The country has established itself as a close ally of other left-wing governments, funded Bairdist organisations around the globe, and has positioned itself as the world's guardian and foremost propagator of communism. Following the victory of the Ubunyi Audonian People's Army (UAPA) in New Kinlaig and the subsequent establishment of the Bairdist Ubunyi People's Union in its place, Carna and their former colony would become close allies. The abolition of the Carnish monarchy in Brumalea in 2004 would see the period of hostile relations between the country and Carna come to and end, with relations improving significantly thereafter. From the 1980s onwards, relations between Carna and the other nations of the world also began to thaw as it had become clear that deposition of the Carnish Union and the reestablishment of the Carnish monarchy would be highly unlikely. Despite this, Carna's relations with many nations do remain cold, owing primarily to ideological differences. Carna is currently a member of the League of Nations as well as a founding member of the Treaty of International Assistance and Development.

Carnish Relation Classification Table

The Secretary of International Affairs annually publishes the Carnish Relation Classification Guide, for use by foreign relations analysts, elected officials, and even foreign elements. The guide is meant to inform the world population of the state of various relations between the world's different governing bodies and Carna. The system is based on the Brumal Relations Classifications Table and is identical in most aspects. The system was adopted in 2007 following the warming of relations between Carna and Brumalea after the latter's abolition of the Carnish monarchy. The Secretary of International Affairs at the time, Thomas Rennie, had been impressed by the system and viewed it as superior to the standard system of categorising relations used by most nations. The system was officially adopted on August 6th, 2007 following a two-thirds majority vote in the Forgaitherin.

Foreign Relations by Country

Bilateral Relations

Nation	Continent	Diplomatic Relation Status	Diplomatic Mission Status	Travel Advisory	Visa policy	Trade Relation Status	Notes
Brumalea	Kiro-Borealis	Cordial	Embassy in Leidtoun.	Maintain standard vigilance.	365 days	Standard	Relations between Carna and Brumalea are cordial in modern times, but have been mixed since the Carnish Revolution in 1948. Upon the beginning of the revolution on June 26th the Carnish royal family fled the country to Brumalea and began directly ruling the Brumal Domains as a Carnish government-in-exile. This was widely unpopular in Brumalea, as the country had previously enjoyed much autonomy from the government in Dunaird, but direct rule from the Carnish royal family alongside scrutiny from the Carnish revolutionary government in Dunaird led to relations rapidly deteriorating. Relations remained tense until the abolition of the monarchy in 2004, where relations henceforth improved significantly. Carna finally recognised Brumalea and opened an embassy in Leidtoun in 2005, and Brumalea followed suit in 2007. Cultural ties between the nations remain strong and the two governments collaborate through the Treaty of International Assistance and Development, but unease over the historic disputes between the countries remains in the Carnish consciousness, and has impeded relations improving further.
