President Roswuud was reelected for her third term in 2016 with 88% of the vote among citizens after running on the slogan, "It's Time!" This slogan pertained to her idea to finally reopen Equatannia to federal foreign affairs by 2020, which would be at the end of her term. Representative Jon Furrbanks caused a national political upset after narrowly defeating Vice President Mitch Lorraine in the general election, making Furrbanks assume the role of Vice President in early 2017. Later that year, Roswuud finished constructing and employing the departments she had began planning seven years prior and deemed them ready for work. The Foreign Affairs Committee formally proposed The Federal Reveal Act (FERA) to both chambers of Congress on May 3, 2018, which then lead to over a year and a half of debate, filibuster, discussion, and planning among Representatives, Chancellors, and the Administration of President Roswuud. On November 20, 2019, Speaker Dot Bungi announced that he would be calling for a formal vote in a month's time as The Regional had reached an agreement to approve the resolution in July earlier that year. On the morning of December 21, 2019, Speaker Bungi called for a formal vote on FERA. Representatives approved the resolution with 73% for the approval of the act, and President Melinde Roswuud signed FERA into law only three hours later from the Executive Office in Equaa. The following day, the federal government sent multiple phone calls and emails informing the international community of their return to foreign diplomacy. The state of Equatannia had finally reached true social, political, and economic stability for the first time since its founding.
Equatannia has since endorsed various nations of Urth and has also established embassies within surrounding countries. The Equatannian economy has quickly flourished due to open international trade, as the produce native to a Mediterranean climate is unique to the area. President Roswuud has begun working toward improved international relations, despite the Arkian Civil War occurring just north of the nation. Equatannia has retained its neutral position in all external conflict, but some speculate that will soon change with President Roswuud's instruction. She faces her fourth election later this year, and has yet to announce any plans to resign to new candidates. <br />
Equatannia joined The League of Novaris in June of 2020, marking the first diplomatic union Equatannia has joined since its founding in 1936.
