The fabric of a country’s bilateral relations is a traditional dimension of its diplomacy and foreign policy. Thus, Bruellen continues to invest in the range of its bilateral relations with neighbouring and distant countries alike. Here you can find basic information on Bruellen's bilateral relations by country, as well as useful information for Bruellans who wish to travel abroad and foreigners (by country of origin) who want to travel to Bruellen.

Before we start, I think the COA needs minor tweaking

///Okaiken would like to set up relations with Brüllen.///

It is a seal and Chip made it.

The Brüllen Federation is pleased to announce positive relations with Okaiken. We wish to build stronger ties in the future.

...Folland is keeping quiet.

LOL whut is wrong with my seal?

No problem, Jack.

Those are some tough sanctions.

I think this is getting too harsh.

Why, Carl?

Well, from a geopolitical perspective; the sanctions would terribly disrupt trade not just in Folland, but also in countries that are interconnected with it, ie. the East Althenian Group. Sanctions would essentially decrease the commodity prices of Follandian goods, which would affect the income of sellers and resellers of materials and tools around the world. A country might be dependent on Folland's ferrous deposits and a full shutdown of that industry would affect the manufacturing sector of that country. In turn, the lack of supplies would mean a shortage of let say, a microchip for the Okaiken's technology sector... which is a lose-lose situation back to your countries because you won't get new technological gadgets. You are also essentially cutting a major supplier to the local and regional markets, and not just partially, the whole system is affected, from tourists to businessmen.

I say we rethink about sanctions to a point where it doesn't affect nations. Try for example, a freeze of accounts for the Moen Family (example not to be copied). Then try a freeze of weapon-making materials

I didn't even make these sanctions. It was Jack.

Pssh, you can't control their moniez. God modding.

You hear constant talk of how North Korea has sanctions. That's cause what the hell does anyone import from North Korea? A lot of countries would hurt from a loss of trade with Folland. Let bygones be bygones and keep buying my metals.

I don't need your metals, I've got my Relastovan mines.  

Putting sanctions on Folland would only increase the pressure, as nations might be hurting due to them.

It won't really affect that much non-Euphemian nations, Carl. Can always change business partners. NK has heavy sanctions and is literally starving. It's dependent on the aid from the US, SK, China and Russia, mainly from China. The point of sanctions is to do a domino effect so that other nations will be affected and will put sanctions themselves on Folland so it will stop what it is doing.

Well that's not fair is it? Put sanctions on the country that originally posted sanctions, since they caused the domino effect in the first place.

But Brüllen didn't do anything that violates international law.

Sanctions dropped just now? LOL
