== Administration ==
Officially, the Monarch of Antora is the Head of State and thus directs all foreign policy and represents the country on the world stage. In practice, largely due to increasing support towards restricting the constitutional powers of the monarchy, the Royal Cabinet has assumed much of the responsibility of diplomacy. The Prime Minister, after their election from the Popular Assembly, nominates an individual to become First Minister of Diplomacy. The First Minister oversees the Ministry of Diplomacy, Foreign Affairs, and Interconnectivity. The incumbent First Minister is
=== Ministry of Diplomacy, Foreign Affairs, and Interconnectivity ===
Line 16:
The DoI is responsible for ensuring Antora remains at the forefront of international knowledge, infrastructure, and organizations. Some of the areas of this department's portfolio include the [[League of Novaris]], the [[Conference for Amity and Cooperation]], the [[Inter-Novaran Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance]], the [[International Banking Exchange Cooperative]], and the [[International Electrical Committee|Electrical Standardization Treaty]]. The Royal Antoran Reserve maintains a position on the IBEC Oversight Committee via the DoI and the Ministry of the Economies. The Department also cooperates with departments in the Ministry of Communications, Broadcasting, and Digital Technology and the Ministry of Ministry of the Infrastructure, Civil Works, and Transportation to manage Antora's use of international satellite networks and the Urth-Wide Utility network. Despite these operations, the DoI also serves as part of the Antoran intelligence community via the Office of Special Representatives. The OSR maintains an apparatus of information gathering and soft-power assets that remains classified from public record. The current Minister of Interconnectivity is Liam Merino.

Antora maintains diplomatic relations with many nations. Almost all countries in Novaris possess Missions with Antora, as do those in Concord and Aurora. The quality of relations with other nations are graded on a scale which take into account a variety of geopolitical and socioeconomic factors, which include public opinion, level of trade, formal and informal agreements, and current events. The model and values of foreign governments are key in deciding relationship quality; those that tend towards fascism or ultralibertarianism are dealt with less respect and opportunities for formal agreements. Antoran Diplomatic Missions to other nations are established according to one of three models. The Embassy is a full-service diplomatic mission with personnel and facilities to act plenipotentiary for diplomatic meetings and agreements, support Antoran nationals within the host country, and perform public relations and coordination activities with the host government. The Major Consulate can support Antoran nationals and coordinate with the host government, but does not carry any authority to negotiate or make binding diplomatic decisions. The Minor Consulate is the least expansive Mission, with only enough staff and facilities to coordinate and communicate with the host government and offer limited support to Antoran citizens. Most Minor Consulates are established with nations Antora does not wish to engage with but must as a diplomatic necessity.
