Foreign Relations of the Kiravian Federacy: Difference between revisions

As the first- and third- largest economies in Ixnay, respectively, the Kiravian-[[Paulastra|Paulastrani]] relationship is one of great importance to the region. The Kiravian foreign policy establishment views Paulastra, the most powerful mainland nation in Ixnay Proper, as a key partner in security and state-building on that continent, and Kiro-Paulastrani relations are centred upon economic interests, military and intelligence coöperation in Ixnay Proper, and the promotion of national sovereigntism. The two nations, while not linked by formal agreements until 21205, had extensive commercial contact and were generally seen as having a strong partnership falling short of a true alliance. In 21205, Paulastra was admitted to the [[LATA]], thereby becoming a formal ally of the Federacy. Both nations participated in the [[LATA Invasion of Snowlandish]] in early 21206. Even after the Imperial Kingdom's withdrawal from the LATA, the Kiro-Paulastrani bilateral relations have remained excellent.

Kiravia and Sawra differ drastically in their approaches to foreign policy and regional politics. While Kiravian policy is strongly [[wikipedia:Realism (international relations)|realist]] (specifically [[wikipedia:Neorelism (international relations)|neo-]] or [[wp:Neoclassical realism|neoclassical]] realist), Sawran foreign policy is the epitome of [[wp:Liberalism (international relations)|liberal internationalist]] and [[wp:Institutional liberalism|neoliberal institutionalist]] ideals. As a result, while Sawra favours regional integration, federalism, and a supranational Regional Government to ensure peace and prosperity, Kiravia is fiercely [[National sovereigntism|national sovereigntist]] and believes that regional stability is better ensured by maintaining a favourable balance of power among states. However, ideological differences aside, relations between the two nations are benign. Indeed, Kiravian policymakers see Sawra, along with Pelaxia and Paulastra, as the most stable countries in Ixnay Proper and important potential partners in improving that continent.
