== International organisations ==
'''Continental Obligations''' refer to a series of diplomatic obligations of nations on [[Sarpedon]] with respect to [[Caphiria]], specifically actions which formally recognize the authority of the [[Imperator]] of [[Caphiria]] specifically and [[Caphiria]] generally over a large part of [[Sarpedon]]. The Obligations are undertaken personally by the heads of state of the nations under Caphirian influence. The Obligations themselves generally consist of some kind of personal act of submission on behalf of the state to the Caphirians upon an individual taking office within a Sarpedonian nation or on special occasions such as a jubilee celebration. The Obligations also carry the implication that assuming leadership within these nations happens as a condition of the Imperator's approval. The Obligations themselves, which began as real acts of fealty during the medieval period, have long become nominal formalities which oblige nations to no particular course of action. Most of the nations which offer the Obligations have adopted statutes recognizing them as "traditional diplomatic exchanges", disavowing the still-extant implication of Caphirian approval for their leadership.
