Empire of Albion-Merité

Foreign Relations


The Empire of Albion-Merité wishes to establish diplomatic relations with those states across Vexillium that it shares common interests.  To that end, the Foreign Ministry was created.  The Foreign Ministry is the part of the Albionish government responsible for establishing Albionish diplomatic missions in foreign states, and setting up foreign missions in Tabrik, the previous capital city.  Since the relocation of the imperial capital to Azhincour in 1594 (305AP), all incoming diplomatic missions have had the option to establish themselves in either the current capital city, Azhincour, or in the historical capital with other long-standing diplomatic missions in Tabrik.  Albionish ambassadors and consuls are appointed by the emperor upon recommendation from the foreign minister.  The current foreign minister is Lord Mercutio Aehrenthal.  On November 7, 1588 (299AP), the foreign ministry officially released the Albionish diplomatic seals.  Two were ordered by the emperor to be created: one for Albionish embassies, and one for consulates.embassy seal consulate seal   These seals will be displayed both on the front gates of Albionish diplomatic missions, and where appropriate by foreign governments.  On November 5, 1588, the emperor approved the foreign ministry's proposed foreign policy.  According to the policy, the empire will establish diplomatic relations with foreign states in three phases.  Phase I commenced on November 7, with the foreign ministry offering diplomatic recognition and relations to its neighbors and the Kingdoms of Eastern Zartania and Christiana.  Phase II will involve the establishment of relations with other monarchies throughout the world.  Phase III will establish relations with "select non-monarchical states."  Shown below are the states with whom Albion-Merité currently enjoys diplomatic relations, as well as those international organizations that the empire has joined.
