Relations with Foreign States

Solarian Alliance

The Solarian Alliance sees the Nralakk Federation as their closest ally within the Orion Spur, both economically and as a force to help preserve the status quo if anything seriously threatening galactic stability or if an unrecoverable disruption of the balance of power had to occur. Whilst there are whispers of many that fear the potential growth of the Nralakk Federation into the wildlands that the Solarian Alliance still seeks to return to the fold, their relationship has continued to prosper even after the turbulent events that nearly brought the Orion Spur to its knees.

The Solarian Alliance has the most Representatives of the Nralakk Federation within its borders, who typically work alongside one another to maintain the relationship between both nations. The recent events that have resulted in the shrinking of the Solarian Alliance has prompted additional Representatives working within its borders; seeking further avenues in which the Nralakk Federation can expand their influence within the Solarian Alliance. The Solarian Alliance and Nralakk Federation have several agreements; mostly related to trade, research, and migration.

At the moment, the Alliance and Federation are both working with Einstein Engines to create a new type of Warp Gate to alleviate the Spur’s reliance on NanoTrasen phoron. Though one of the prototype gates was destroyed by the late Solarian Warlord Beauchamp.

Republic of Biesel

In most official capacities, the Republic of Biesel maintains positive relations with the Nralakk Federation to the beneficial trade that occurs between the both of them. Politically, it is mostly the same, however there is a growing number within the Republic that have begun to view the Nralakk Federation as untrustworthy due to their lack of intervention during both invasions of Tau Ceti. Tau Ceti is one of few places outside of the Nralakk Federation that is considered worthy of visiting by Skrell; resulting in an increased demand for visas (tourist and work) for Tau Ceti.

The Republic of Biesel, at any given time, has roughly the second-largest amount of Representatives of the Nralakk Federation within its borders. Following the events that nearly crippled the Orion Spur, the Nralakk Federation has begun searching for another way to increase their influence within the fledgeling republic; mostly through the use of foreign aid, and restricted technological exchanges. The Republic of Biesel has expressed interest in increased diplomatic ties with the Nralakk Federation; mostly involving concessions for Megacorporations to be able to freely operate within the political entity. The Nralakk Federation has affirmed that they see the Republic of Biesel as a valuable diplomatic partner, and publically wishes to increase diplomatic ties with them.

Coalition of Colonies

The Coalition of Colonies is somewhat public about their opinion of the Nralakk Federation, stating that they are suspicious of the foreign policy boasted by the nation, alongside its authoritarian system. They also view the Nralakk Federation as Sol-aligned, and therefore anti-Coalition of Colonies by association. Whilst there are talks about economical cooperation, however, both the Coalition of Colonies and the Nralakk Federation would be able to produce large quantities of wealth off of one another.

The Coalition of Colonies sports a few dozen Representatives of the Nralakk Federation within its borders, mostly tasked with improving the relations between the two behemoths. The inaction of the Nralakk Federation in the Second Invasion of Tau Ceti has resulted in quite a stir within the Coalition; many citing that the Nralakk Federation is no longer pro-Sol, with others perpetuating rumours that they simply bide their time and will soon be launching an attack on the Orion Spur. The Nralakk Federation has publically announced an interest in exploring additional diplomatic avenues with the Coalition of Colonies; however, little effort has been seen in regards to this.

Empire of Dominia

The Empire of Dominia maintains a publically ambivalent relationship with the Nralakk Federation; politically and economically. Hardly any effort is exerted in regards to the Nralakk Federation officially, with some more liberal merchant factions rooted within proposing trade with the Skrell. Unofficially, the Empire of Dominia is split ideologically in regards to the political entity. Many both like that the Nralakk Federation has taken steps in restricting artificial intelligence, but there is also a sizable group that hates them for being the first ones to create it.

The Empire of Dominia maintains only six Representatives of the Nralakk Federation within its borders, focusing on creating opportunities for trading, with little success. The inaction of both the Nralakk Federation and the Empire of Dominia during the latest turbulent events of the Orion Spur has resulted in the warming of relations somewhat. The Nralakk Federation has displayed minor interest in exploring the relationship between the two entities but has yet to engage in such diplomacy.

Serene Republic of Elyra

The Serene Republic of Elyra has publically maintained that they are suspicious of Federation encroachment, as well as interference in human affairs, in lieu of the Solarian Alliance's collapse - despite this, they continue cordial if a bit distant relations with the Nralakkn Federation. There are whispers that many within Elyra see the Nralakk Federation as an ally against the Lii'dra should they return. They are economically disinterested in the Nralakk Federation, as the Serene Republic of Elyra has continued their self-sufficiency since the collapse of the Solarian Alliance, and the trade that the nation does conduct are mostly done with the Coalition of Colonies and the Republic of Biesel.

The Serene Republic of Elyra has roughly two dozen Representatives of the Nralakk Federation within its borders, with a focus on technological cooperation. The inaction of the Nralakk Federation during the recent events that haunted the Orion Spur has resulted in relations between the two technological giants to become somewhat cold, with a large migration of Representatives back to the Nralakk Federation. The Nralakk Federation publically supports a minor interest in exploring a relationship with the Serene Republic of Elyra, a technological one, that is.

Eridani Corporate Federation

The Eridani Corporate Federation has made the Orion Spur very aware of their interest to pursue additional economic cooperation with the Nralakk Federation, citing that it is a massive market for Zeng Hu Pharmaceuticals, and Megacorporations found within the Board of Five. The closeness of the Nralakk Federation and the Solarian Alliance has resulted in cordial relations between these two federations, with a significant amount of both the entities' wealth being invested into one another.

The Eridani Corporate Federation maintains the third largest following of Representatives of the Nralakk Federation within its borders, with most focusing on exploring additional economic cooperative avenues that will enhance the wealth of both. The inaction of the Nralakk Federation during the Second Invasion of Tau Ceti has resulted in somewhat weakened relations; however, the Eridani Corporate Federation publically maintains that the Nralakk Federation is a crucial member of its economy. The Nralakk Federation has all but ensured that the Eridani Corporate Federation will soon benefit from proposed deregulation of the skrellian economy.

People's Republic of Adhomai

The People's Republic of Adhomai attempts to secure a respectful, diplomatic relationship with the Nralakk Federation; mostly in part due to its policy of approaching alien powers for support in the Adhomian Cold War. The People's Republic of Adhomai has essentially pushed for cordial relations between them and the Nralakk Federation resulting in increased cooperatives, mostly involving the "Project Unity Initiative" - a diplomatic agreement in which the Nralakk Federation commences humanitarian aid projects and provides monetary assistance.

The People's Republic of Adhomai has roughly three dozen Representatives of the Nralakk Federation within its borders, mostly focusing on administrating the "Project Unity Initiative" and facilitating diplomacy between the three warring nations on Adhomai. The inaction of the Nralakk Federation during the recent Solarian Invasion of Tau Ceti and resulting collapse that turned the Orion Spur on its head has not had an impact on the relationship between the Nralakk Federation and the People's Republic of Adhomai. The Nralakkn Federation recently broke it's stance of neutrality in regards to Adhomai. After an attempted terror attack on District 8 in Biesel's Mendell City by radical Al'mariist insurgents, the Federation officially recognized the People's Republic of Adhomai as the sole civil authority of the planet and began to support their claims politically. It's unknown to the public if the Federation is offering more material support behind the scenes due to both nations' private nature.

Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai

The Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai has little to no relations with the Nralakk Federation; mostly due to the xenophobic nature of Al'mariism. The Nralakk Federation is viewed by many within the Democratic People's Republic of Adhomai's borders as a threat to their independence and future; which usually devolves into accusations of imperialism by various prominent politicians. Even the most progressive of Al'mariists maintain the dislike of the Nralakk Federation.

Due to the recent attempted terror attack in Mendell City, relations between the two political bodies dipped to the worst in history. The Federation took the planned bombing of District 8 as an unfettered act of aggression against Skrell. While the Federation had always believed the Democratic People's Republic a threat to Adhomai, they now hold the position that Al'marrists are a threat to the greater Spur aboard as well.

New Kingdom of Adhomai

The New Kingdom of Adhomai, due to its precarious position, maintains an official intention of establishing positive diplomatic ties with the Nralakk Federation; mostly in hopes of establishing the "Project Unity Initiative" within its borders. The turbulent history of Adhomai has resulted in somewhat lukewarm relations between the New Kingdom of Adhomai and the Nralakk Federation, however, what relations that did exist were irrevocably obliterated when the Federation announced their political recognition of the People's Republic of Adhomai as the sole civil authority of the planet.

Despite the incident that caused this change in the Federation's political stance being caused by Al'mariists, the Federation has been unyielding in political channels to reverse this decision, to the woe of those in the Kingdom who had hoped to benefit from the Project Unity Initiative. The Federation retracted all political ties with the New Kingdom of Adhomai, and declared the state illegitimate.

Izweski Hegemony

The Nralakk Federation was one of two nations to make first contact with the Hegemony alongside the Sol Alliance, and jointly operated the Ouerean provisional government with them. Following Hegemon S’kresti’s demand for the return of Ouerea, the Federation withdrew completely from Uueoa-Esa and had little formal contact with the Hegemony for over a decade, remaining focused on their own affairs. In 2466, following political upheaval in the Federation and economic difficulties in the Hegemony, the two nations worked to restore their relationship, signing the Nralakk-Izweski Mutual Prosperity Agreement.

This treaty opened trade between the two nations, as well as making provisions for the use of Hegemony ports and stations by the Qukala and sending humanitarian workers to Moghes. Though some Hegemony lords were initially opposed, most public enmity towards the Skrell was silenced after the Izaku Rebellion, with few willing to openly align themselves with the traitorous Lord of Mudki. In the Federation, the Homeworld Traditionalist Coalition has argued against the agreement, though most of the other parties have backed it for their own myriad of reasons.

The two nations have close ties, though trade through the Sparring Sea remains risky due to the presence of pirates, smugglers, and privateers - requiring great effort from both the Qukala and the Izweski Navy to ensure that trade routes remain open. Nevertheless, the agreement has forged a strong bond - and one that seems to promise a new approach to the wider Spur from both nations.

The Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria

The Nralakk Federation and the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria have close ties, with the Federation playing a large part in the formation of the planet's most influential nation. The Federation has a permanent embassy in the city of Nral'Daaq on the planet, which is also the location of the majority of Skrell that live here. The Nralakk Federation has long-established trade and migration agreements with the Consortium, with the latter allowing for a somewhat easier citizenship process for Dionae originating from Hieroaetheria, and the former allowing Hieroaetheria to export goods to the Nralakk Federation on a barter basis similar to their local economy.
