Arcerion and Paulastra, its largest Southern neighbour have long had close, friendly relations. Few border disputes, coupled with a mutually beneficial history of trade have long led the two to have close ties. As well, a favourite summertime event in the Arcer capital of Kurst is the annual Arco-Paulastra Rugby Cup, wherein each nation commits three teams from its national leagues to compete in a round-robin tournament, with the victor hosting the next year's finals. Aside from this, the two have a close history of military cooperation due to shared interests in the creeping threat of communism, and the mutual assurance that a peaceful Southern Crona provides. Economically, Paulastra benefits greatly from Arcer raw mineral and ore exports, as well as the bountiful harvests Arcerion ships South as part of the existing Grain and Trade Agreements from the 1950s. Arcerion on the other hand utilises their close ties for easier access to high-quality machine equipment and defense goods, the former which are often found in Northlea's massive rolling farms, and the latter in many Arco Garrisons. Together, the two nations have consistently emphasized that a unified, peaceful Southern Crona will only serve to create lucrative trade routes and increase the economic development of their South-Eastern Peninsula. | |||

The Arcer military, while primarily geared for national defense and domestic operational support to civil authorities, also has an extensive expeditionary focus that covers a broad spectrum of operational activities, including foreign internal defense, peacekeeping, and natural disaster relief operations. While expeditionary warfighting is a core capability of the nation's armed forces, these tasks are generally undertaken by ASOC, with support from the Arcer Air Force and Navy. The Navy's emphasis on green-water operations, those being in the Malentine and Songun seas have left it under-equipped for extended blue-water operations or for long-distance patrolling, aside from show-of-force or single frigates or destroyers patrolling. To note, the Arcer Navy's only standing expeditionary deployment group in the Northern Polynesian Sea (Standing Maritime Patrol Group 1, SMPG1) regularly requires the addition of auxiliary and logistical support elements to maintain roughly a dozen ships of varying sizes and classes past the Cape. ASOC however has an extremely foreign focus for operations, with both officially acknowledged operations and undisclosed operations across Ixnay occurring regularly. For example, in the Committee on Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (CSOLIC) in the Confederate Parliament, ASOC staff acknowledged that in 2024 alone ASOC had 3 deployed task forces, with smaller bespoke forces conducting short-term operations in support of the national interest. | The Arcer military, while primarily geared for national defense and domestic operational support to civil authorities, also has an extensive expeditionary focus that covers a broad spectrum of operational activities, including foreign internal defense, peacekeeping, and natural disaster relief operations.
