Foreign affairs of Normark
This article delineates Normark's foreign affairs – which refers to Normark's relations to the world outside Elwynn and the Benacian Union.
In the beginning of 1703, Normark's government, having experienced confusion on the international stage with regard to Normark's status with the Benacian Union and the Elwynnese Realm at large, declared that it had assumed all such foreign affairs and military matters that belonged to the Elwynnese Realm prior to its Benacian territories' entry to the Benacian Union. Normark appointed then its first defence minister and first foreign minister, heading the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs respectively.
The Union Defence Force in Normark was placed under the authority of the Ministry of Defence.

Chryse (e (v)) Ardashirshahr (cg) Merensk (cg) Ghawlama (L) Vesüha (O) |
Initially warm and friendly relations. Shared history and culture. Part of the Hurmu–Raspur Pact Free Trade Agreement. Elwynn was assisting considerably in the establishment of the new Hurmu state organization through the Allied Reconstruction Mission in Hurmu (ARM-H). Hurmu's mission to the MTO in Chryse is also accredited to represent Hurmu in the city-state. However, once the Second Elwynnese Civil War began, relations became more tense, with a UDF ARM-H unit defecting to the rebel government Elwynn and Amokolia (REA). Hurmu also established itself as officially neutral with view to the civil war, which also angered the Court of the Princess. Thus Hurmu has difficult diplomatic terrain to navigate with regard to its relations with Elwynn. Hurmu has, however, not officially recognised the REA or Tarrland. Hurmu regards the Second Elwynnese Civil War as an internal matter for Elwynn to decide its government. As such, Hurmu considers itself neutral between the warring factions. Since 1702 of the Second Elwynnese Civil War, the Benacian Union took over the foreign affairs of both Elwynn and the Unified Governorates.
The same year, the Benacian Union also notified that companies who trade directly with the rebel islands of Cimmeria and Raikoth would be refused access to the markets of the mainland. See also Foreign relations of Elwynn. Linus Truls Thorgilsson represents the Benacian Union in Hurmu. In late 1702, Ambassador Lyydia Kruuna, who had represented Hurmu in the Benacian Union's capital Chryse, was recalled to Vesüha for consultations as a response to the Benacian Confrontation, which saw Hurmu's diplomatic staff in Chryse driven to Ransenar's border.
