Foreign relations of Gran Verionia

The foreign relations of Gran Verionia are a complicated affair, due to the desire of the Verionian government to retain its own independence and refusal to join international alliances. Until 1680, the country had a policy of isolation from the outside known as Splendid Isolation. This policy was based on the principles of Miqah Verion. Although international trade continued to be conducted, and crucial in many respects to the prosperity of the nation, it was only conducted through the Port of Keraq, which was the only part of the Empire in which non-nationals are allowed to enter. In 1680, following a severe decline in the wealth of the South Keltian states, this policy was reversed. Economic liberalisation and reciprocital trade was one of the main pillars of the Eight Point Plan of the Round Table of Valarion. After the Union of 1682, Gran Verionia greatly extended its trade relations with other states.

Although Gran Verionia shares long land borders with the Palliscian Dependency of Tanah-Baru, it has only very limited trade relations with this nation. This is reinforced by the old believe from the South Keltian people that the Palliscians are a cursed people, due to their highly disfigured appearance. Even long before the arrival of the Verionians to the Empire, the nomadic tribes of the Roqq desert refused to trade with the Palliscians upon their arrival, as their local folklore and myths has long warned for the appearance of the Children of the Underworld, a cursed race that would bring sure destruction to all who enter into contact with them. The land borders with Tanah-Baruh are naturally protected by the Western Ridge, a high mountain range. The small eastern possessions of the Palliscians lie within the Great Salt Desert, the dryest and most unwelcoming part of the Empire. Even though, local militias patrol the area near the borders and will not hesitate to shoot anything that moves.

Gran Verionia borders the Wechua nation to the North, and has limited relations with this country. The relationship with countries alligned with the Raspur Pact is strained due to the Verionian-Raspur War. Upon the establishment of the confederation, the constituent States were involved in the Verionian-Raspur War, which by then had reached a ceasefire. As such, relations with the Raspur nations were bad from the onset. However, at the Round Table, a decision was made to strive towards normalisation of relations between the Pact and the Verionist alliance. The Eight Point plan was not only established as a commitment for the members of the Union, but also as a blueprint for a new international order that would not be dominated by power blocks but rather by increased cooperation. In 1681, a cease fire was agreed and since then, the warring parties have been negotiating a peace. Under the leadership of Godolphin Viqh, significant steps have been taken towards a peace settlement and a wide-ranging treaty to move beyond hostility.
