The nation does not have a specific ideological stance it promotes or adheres to, aside from abhorring absolute-rule governing styles such as communal authoritarianism or fascism. Many people of Antoran citizenship feel that there is no one correct way to run a nation, resulting in a very diverse caucus of governmental representatives, all along the political spectrum. This has led to Antora having regular relations with communist states, theocracies, and monarchies. Extensive military buildups, international interventionalist, and imperialist foreign policy stances are anathema to the Antoran government resulting in worse relations with certain countries. The strength of the Antoran economy and military, while sufficient for a nation of its size, are not enough to allow it to stand as a preeminent regional player, nor to deter foreign powers from attempting to interfere in Antoran matters. Therefore, the current diplomatic mandate of the government is to form bonds with other nations, develop close cultural, economic, and personal ties with those nations, and insert the Antoran state into organizations and alliances based around mutual benefit.Noteworthy partners are Cryria, [[Volkia]], and [[Tavaris]].
 
Antora achieved membership status in the [[League of Novaris]] on 11 November 2021, achieving one major long-term goal of foreign policy. Attempts were made to join various regional cooperatives during the 1900s, but ideological equilibrium only stabilized in the late 2010s for the Antoran government to consider pursuing membership seriously. Antora has contributed support in the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_sanctions condemnation] of the unrecognized rebel Xaethos state in [[Alksearia]], the condemnation and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_sanctions sanctioning] of [[Baykalia]], and provides a significant portion of its [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aid foreign aid] budget to the Novaris Aid and Development Office. The nation is represented on the Council by Sir [[Julió EzelielEzekiel de Zanpaí]].
 
The country is a member of several League sub-organizations. The Novaris Transportation Commission, managing the Novaris Transportation Network, counts Antora as a member. The Antoran government has expressed interest in further integrating the continent via rail. This would allow the limited rail networks in western Antora to export more mineral resources to partners across Novaris. Additionally, the NTC has been pushed to implement standard road signs and gas station systems by Antoran diplomats. The Conference for Amity and Cooperation was created as a joint venture between Antora, Cryria, [[Mexregiona]], the Varentine League, and [[Älemsi Negdel]] to promote industrial, defense, and intelligence coordination between the participants. The CAC does not constitute a military alliance, but the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_agency intelligence services] of each nation commonly collaborate, and several training and equipment agreements are in place.

In late 2021, the Antoran government condemned [[Norgsveldet]] and the [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances]] for their continued [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasion military interventions] and excessive force. This has resulted in worsening diplomatic relations with several UCA states, including [[Aivintis]], and garnered support from like-minded nations.
