Caphiria's relationships with nations within the Imperial space originate with | Caphiria's relationships with nations within the Imperial space originate with {{wp|Patronage in ancient Rome|ancient Latinic notions of patronage}}, which stressed the hierarchical but mutual nature of client-patron relationships. These concepts exist widely throughout Caphirian society and have been employed in diplomacy to some extent since the [[Caphiria#The_First_Imperium|First Imperium]]. Imperial Diplomacy emerged organically throughout the medieval period following the collapse of the First and Second Imperiums, establishing how the [[Caphiria#The_Third_Imperium|Third Imperium]] interacted with states and tribes sitting on previously Imperial-controlled land. Over time, the system and expectations of Imperial Diplomacy became more formalized before reaching their current state in the mid-19th century. Nearly all nations within the Imperial space adhered by its terms, excluding [[Talionia]] - even [[Veltorina]] prior to the Tyrian Revolution adhered to it, despite having just won its independence in the [[Veltorine War of Independence]] fought against Caphiria. The unwillingness of the post-revolution socialist government of [[Veltorina]] to participate within the Imperial Diplomatic system was one of the leading causes of the [[First Great War]]. Following Caphiria's victory in that conflict, it began to tighten obligations of the states within the Imperial space, which had largely been reduced to just [[Aciria]], [[Pelaxia]], and [[Cartadania]]. These states began to chafe under Caphiric hegemony and prepared for the eventual opening to strike back at Caphiria, which would come in the 1930s with the [[Second Great War]]. | ||
Between the end of the [[Second Great War]] in [[1943]] and the Treaty of Gornja in 1970, Caphiria was essentially excluded from the Imperial Diplomatic system. Having been defeated by a coalition which included all other remaining states in the sphere, Caphiria both lost a viable mandate for hegemony while eliminating any chance it had with productive relations with its neighbors. During this period, many of the traditional hallmarks of Imperial Diplomacy were exercised by [[Aciria]] instead within the conceptual [[Western Imperium]]. Caphirian hegemony was restored with the 1970 Treaty of Gornja, which returned [[Pelaxia]] and [[Volonia]]'s recognition of Caphirian imperium. [[Cartadania]] would return in 1973. Aciria maintained its own claims of Western Imperium through 2014, remaining effectively outside the system. The [[Assumption Accords]] ended claims of a separate Western Imperium and brought Aciria and [[Talionia]] back into the Imperial Diplomatic system, bringing full participation to the Imperial space for the first time in nearly a century. | Between the end of the [[Second Great War]] in [[1943]] and the Treaty of Gornja in 1970, Caphiria was essentially excluded from the Imperial Diplomatic system.
