Foreign relations of Karnia-Ruthenia

From Empire of Karnia-Ruthenia
King Rafael of Luna, his wife Queen Letizia and Emperor Oscar I.

The foreign relations of the Karno-Ruthenian Empire are implemented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Emperor-King and the prime ministers of each part of the Empire play a role in setting policy, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs have a voice and are the one who develop this policy.

Since its founding, the Kingdom of Ruthenia and after the Karno-Ruthenian Compromise of 2016, the Karno-Ruthenian Empire and its government pays special attention to foreign affairs. One of the first ministries of government was precisely the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was founded on the same day that the kingdom, on 19 November 2014.

Diplomatic relations are conducted by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but the leadership of Foreign Affairs is in practice, led by His Imperial and Royal Majesty, the Emperor-King. Karnia-Ruthenia monthly studies and develops diplomatic relations with several micronations around the world, maintaining cordial relations with everyone and accounting for only four international incidents, only two of whom suffered from more serious action by the government.

Karnia-Ruthenia is a significant political power, especially in the Brazilian sector and a potential key player on the world stage. Karnia-Ruthenia's foreign policy reflects its role as a regional power and a potential world power and is designed to help protect the country's national interests, national security and ideological goals with an independent foreign policy, aimed to strengthen ties with other South American micronations, while engage in diplomacy with micronations in North America, Europe and Asia shaped by a unique position as a multicultural, multiethnic and multilingual micronation.

Over the years, the Empire has developed very close and special relations with the United Provinces of Mauricia, the Imperial Grand Duchy of Lundenwic, the Kingdom of Quinta Velha and the Virtual State of Drakonberg. More recently, the Empire has established intense and equally special contacts with newer projects, such as the Lateran States[1], Kingdom of Quinta Velha and Kingdom of Luna.

Criteria for recognition[edit | edit source]

On 26 October 2023, the III Legislature voted new guidelines for its foreign policies, recognizing the importance of fostering peaceful and cooperative relations among micronations, establishing new criterias to provide a framework for the establishment of diplomatic ties[2]. Objectively, the micronation that offers diplomatic relations to the Empire must:

  • exist for at least one year;
  • not have drastically change their system of government;
  • not have involved in “micronational war” as instrument of foreign policies as prescribed by the Convention of Fruchemburg;
  • prove that are activity of the micronation outside online environment;
  • not claim Imperial territory, or territory claimed by another micronation recognized by the Empire;
  • not disrespect the basics principles of human dignity, as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, equality of gender, equality of ethnicity, etc.

The Empire, for strategical purposes, may recognize micronations that doesn’t fulfill the criteria above and even revoke recognition, considering the entity as of diverse juridical nature and unfit for diplomatic relations.
