Foreign Relations

[Carthaginian]

The Confederate States of America is a confederation in name, but a federal republic in practice. It generally supports any government which maintains friendly, respectful ties with it regardless of their form of government. In general, the Confederacy adopts a 'live and let live' attitude on the world stage with two notable exceptions:

Rohan - Occasional co-belligerents due to sharing the same continental adversaries, the Confederacy shares a rather friendly relationship with Rohan. The recent Confederate friendship declaration to Rohan- giving them first access to all Confederate technological breakthroughs and equipment to be sold- is hoped to cement this relationship even further.

Democratic Republic of Mesoamerica - Still viewed as a threat to the Confederacy and Rohan, this nation is guilty of aiding Socialist elements within the Confederacy in the past and is suspect in several recent incidents as well. The Confederacy does not attempt to hide the opinion that a socialist state on it's souther border aiding internal socialist cells would constitute a threat to internal security.

With all other nations, the Confederacy takes a 'wait and see' attitude, though it in general opposes socialism and can be expected to offer at least some help to any nation involved in a conflict with socialists, especially attempted socialist overthrows.

Baltic Confederation - Neutral

Bavaria - Neutral

Deutche Kaiserreich Brandenburg - Excellent; once our most active partner, yet lately, strangely silent.

Egypt - Poor; no nation that follows the Prophet Mohammad can be in our good graces.

Firanj - Poor; no nation that follows the Prophet Mohammad can be in our good graces.

France - Excellent; a chief ally and valued business partner.

Gran Columbia - Good; a good neighbor, though occasionally elbows will bump at a table.

Habsburg Kaiserriech - Very Good; active in both technological and economic trade with the CSA.

Iberian Empire - Neutral; scant dealings leave them neither fish nor foul.

Italy - Excellent; a nation with a similar world view, cooperative spirit and- best of all- no competing interests.

Japan - Very Good; one of the few nations the CSA helped directly during the Pacific War, but also strangely silent lately.

Maoria - Neutral; "Where the hell did they come from?"

Mesoamerica - Loath Entirely; the conveniently co-located source of all the CSA's woes, and with rumors of the Eye returning their status will likely get worse.

Middle Kingdom - Very Good; also silent but expected to be so.

Naciones Unidas de Suramérica - Very Good; a nation with a similar world view, cooperative spirit and- best of all- no competing interests.

Netherlands - Neutral; neither fish nor foul, but worth watching after the end of the Pacific War.

New Switzerland - Poor; we're just glad the war is over, guys...

New Zion - Neutral; the drooling, cross-eyed cousin you don't like to admit is related, would protect against direct action from Islamic nations, but only just enough.

Orange - Poor; apparently, they don't like our Vice-President for some reason.

Ottoman - Poor; no nation that follows the Prophet Mohammad can be in our good graces.

Persia - Poor; no nation that follows the Prophet Mohammad can be in our good graces.

Peru - Neutral; relations not yet opened formally.

Siam - Neutral; would make a nice, exotic vacation spot.

Ukraine - Neutral; not sure what they are up to, if anything.

United Norman Kingdom - Very Good; a recent thawing of the Cold War has resulted in a new spirit of cooperation with our northern cousins.
