==Politics & Government==

===Foreign Relations===
East Cerdani's foreign policy is managed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs which is led by the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Foreign policy is largely laid down in the East Cerdan Constitution and from official statements by the ministry. Officially the foreign policy of East Cerdani is "to serve socialism and peace, international friendship and security", to "cultivate, develop and reinforce friendship and co-operation with other socialist states" and to "support states, nations and peoples struggling and fighting against imperialism, colonialism, racism, speciesism and fascism in their struggles for progress and national freedom."
Historically East Cerdani was largely isolationist until the 1950s when a series reforms opened the government to seek further international ties with both socialist and non-socialist nations. As a result East Cerdan foreign policy has become more pragmatic however the government's official policy has remained largely the same. A major part of recent efforts since the 1990s has been seeking international recognition and establishing diplomatic relations with the major countries of the world.

The importance of maintaining independence and the continued development of socialism free from foreign interference or threats are seen as a high priority by the government and as a result East Cerdani maintains one of the largest, expensive and well-organised professional militaries in the world with 1.3 million actively serving and over 700,000 in official reserve, with the potential for up to 8 million to be called for service in the event of a national, mass mobilisation. Much of the hardware and equipment used by the National People's Army is domestically produced and developed, with only a few items imported or produced on license.
East Cerdani also maintains a sizeable but undisclosed number of nuclear warheads deployed in a nuclear triad comprising ICBMs, strategic bombers and nuclear submarines. International inspectors and foreign nationals have very rarely been permitted to see or inspect any nuclear weapons, with only a limited number ever being shown at a time. East Cerdani's nuclear policy since it's inception has been that of "no first use" and to "not use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against any non-nuclear-weapons states or nuclear-weapon-free zones at any time or under any circumstances."
In addition to the professional military the [[People's Militias (East Cerdani)|People's Militias]] exist as one the largest paramilitary organisation in East Cerdani and one of the largest in the world. It is largely comprised of working class people and members of parties of the National Front and almost every major factory, office and workplace has at least a small unit or detachment. Training is conducted by non-military providers such as the People's Police and is ongoing throughout the year, with camps often taking place on weekends and scheduled training weeks taking place at specific times throughout the year. Membership in the Militias is entirely voluntary however it is often encouraged as past membership is seen as politically and socially virtuous.
