Urcea's foreign policy focus primarily relies on maintaining balanced hegemony over [[Levantia]] and growing its sphere of influence abroad, but historically had a focus on involvement in the affairs of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]]. While a major participant in the [[Second Great War]] and subsequent [[Occidental Cold War]], Urcea's relationship with its powerful neighbor [[Caphiria]] has been improving in recent years as shown by the formal end to the Cold War with the [[Assumption Accords]]. Both as a consequence and a cause of the end of the Cold War, Urcea's overseas focus has shifted from [[Sarpedon]] to [[Crona]], where it maintains an active union and relationship with [[New Harren]] and other states, which many critics have labeled as Urcean colonies. Urcea's involvement in [[Crona]] has been growing by the year as a greater number of [[Levantia|Levantines]] move west in search of new opportunities, a phenomenon actively supported by the Urcean government. | Urcea's foreign policy focus primarily relies on maintaining balanced hegemony over [[Levantia]] and growing its sphere of influence abroad, but historically had a focus on involvement in the affairs of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]].
