Foreign affairs of Nouvelle Alexandrie

Seal of the Department of State of Nouvelle Alexandrie.

The foreign affairs of the Federation of Nouvelle Alexandrie are an important aspect of the country's governance and play a crucial role in shaping its relationships with other nations and international organizations. The Secretary of State is at the forefront of the country's foreign policy efforts and serves as the primary representative of the Federation in its international dealings.

In addition to the Secretary of State, the President of the Government, the Council of State, and various other agencies and officials also play key roles in shaping and implementing the foreign policies of the Federation. This multi-faceted approach ensures that the various perspectives and interests of different sectors of the economy and society are considered and integrated into the country's foreign policy decisions.

Nouvelle Alexandrie is a member of several important international organizations, including the Micras Treaty Organization, the Raspur Pact, the Euran Economic Union, the Community of Goldfield, and the Micras Trade Organization. Its membership in these organizations reflects the country's commitment to regional and international cooperation, as well as its recognition of the importance of maintaining strong relationships with other nations and organizations. As a founding member of the Euran Economic Union and the Community of Goldfield, Nouvelle Alexandrie also plays a significant role in shaping the policies and direction of this important regional organization.

With its rich history and active involvement in regional and global affairs, Nouvelle Alexandrie is a vital player on the world stage, working to advance its interests and promote peace and stability in the region and beyond.

Overview

Nouvelle Alexandrie was formed in 1685 AN, originally called the Federation of Alduria and the Wechua Nation, with the Proclamation of Punta Santiago. The new Federation has assumed both the Treaty commitments and partnerships that both Alduria and the Wechua Nation had while they were independent states. This included Alduria's membership to the Micras Treaty Organization, as well as the individual memberships of both nations to the Raspur Pact.

Nouvelle Alexandrie's foreign policy emphasizes its participation in multilateral organizations, particularly especial is its active membership in the Micras Treaty Organization and adoption of its treaties such as the Micras Intellectual Property Protection Act (MIPPA), the Treaty to Establish the Intermicronational Commission, and the MTO Convention on the Laws of the Seas. The assistance provided by the international community during the 1673 AN-1677 AN During past Aldurian water crises, the outflow of international help from a myriad of nations further has impressed upon Nouvelle Alexandrie to serve as a major contributor to international humanitarian and disaster relief efforts.

Nouvelle Alexandrie sees its commitments to the Raspur Pact to be among its highest priorities in foreign affairs. As a member of the Raspur Pact, it has access to vast commercial markets, foreign capital, and raw materials in nearly every continent of Micras through the free trade zone among members of the Pact. 60% of its foreign trade is to Raspur Pact members, mainly Constancia, Natopia, Ransenar, the UGB, Florian Republic, Sanama, and Elwynn.

Cooperation with other countries remains important to Nouvelle Alexandrie. Despite its membership in the Raspur Pact, Alduria traditionally maintained a close relationship with various members of the USSO, in particular with Jingdao. This relationship was developed at the height of Aldurian neutrality during the starting years of the country, prior to the Federation. Trade and cordial relations with former USSO friends continue, but trade with the USSO has dropped considerably from its high point in the early 1670 AN's. Relations with Jingdao and most USSO nations remain cordial. Çakaristan is a USSO member that Nouvelle Alexandrie sees as a threat with which it has an uneasy but unspoken amiable coexistence.

Nouvelle Alexandrie is a strong proponent of the freedom of navigation, meaning that ships flying the flag of any Micran nation shall not be attacked, interfered, intercepted or hindered by other states, except for in special and reasonable circumstances. Nouvelle Alexandrie regularly conducts naval exercises with Raspur Pact allies and on its own in order to ensure the security and safety of trade and navigation in national and international waters.

The principal objective of the foreign policy is the safeguarding of the independence and welfare of its people. Below this overarching goal, Nouvelle Alexandrie has also identified some additional foreign policy objectives, mainly the need to alleviate need and poverty in the world, promote respect for human rights, maintain its commitments to its Raspur Pact allies, promote the preservation of the planet and its natural resources, and protect its interests.

These objectives reflect the history of both Alduria and the Wechua Nation, individually and collectively. Both nations had a long history of economic, political, and social cooperation between themselves. During the 1673 AN-1677 AN Aldurian water crisis, the Micras Treaty Organization arranged an international humanitarian mission to help end the water crisis. The Wechua Nation once was a failed state and many of its citizens fled the anarchy to many nations, including Alduria, Constancia, and Natopia. These events further impressed upon the Federation and its government to serve as a major positive contributor to international humanitarian and disaster relief efforts. The Alduro-Wechua moral obligation to undertake social, economic, and humanitarian activities that contribute to world peace and prosperity comes from these events. This is manifested in its bilateral and multilateral diplomatic activity, assistance to other countries, and support for the establishment and formation of a Micran body of international law, particularly humanitarian law.

LGBTQ issues

The advancement of LGBTQ issues and elimination of discrimination is a particularly prominent agenda item in Alduro-Wechua foreign policy, helping form the bedrock of many relationships, namely Natopia and Sanama.

Freedom of navigation

Nouvelle Alexandrie is a strong proponent of the freedom of navigation, meaning that ships flying the flag of any Micran nation shall not be attacked, interfered, intercepted, or hindered by other states, except for in special and reasonable circumstances. This originates from Alduria's previous cooperation efforts with the USSO, in particular Operation Hugo Grotius.

Refugee policies

Nouvelle Alexandrie grants protection and residence to people under serious persecution in their country of origin due to their religion, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, membership in a particular social or ethnic group, or political opinion, or who are unable to return to their home country for other humanitarian reasons. Links with the Department of Interior (the agency that handles the citizenship and residency process) and the Border Guard are maintained to ensure a smooth and speedy process for refugees.

Nouvelle Alexandrie has inherited the Aldurian "Law of Graces", a policy that has been enshrined in the Proclamation of Punta Santiago. The "Law of Graces" is an established tradition from the founders of Alduria that granted any and all refugees from the Wechua, Alexandrian, and Caputian diasporas citizenship automatically and often including land or other property in the country, in exchange for their commitment to build, defend, and invest in the country and its future.
