Imperial Diplomacy (Sarpedon): Difference between revisions

The most visible element of Imperial Diplomacy are the [[Continental Obligations]], a form of symbolic acknowledgement of Caphirian hegemony as well as an act of submission and tribute to the [[Imperator]]. The Obligations serve as the central legitimizing ritual of Imperial Diplomacy, formally creating the ties under which further relationships can exist. As part of the Obligations, and in exchange for the various privileges the nations enjoy within Sarpedon, a separate agreement is arranged between Caphiria and the Obligated on "equal footing", with both parties negotiating as equals. [[Volonia]] has historically submitted to a Caphirian veto over migration agreements with other countries, and its visa and foreign travel policy is subject to Caphirian review. [[Pelaxia]] allows for the [[Imperial Armed Forces of Caphiria]] to travel through its borders with prior notice given, though it does not permit Caphirian bases within the country. All nations, to some extent, allow access for Caphirian corporations and economic interests that it would not otherwise allow to foreign firms.
