{{Politics of Packilvania}}
[[File:Flag of Packilvania.png|25px]] [[Packilvania]] is an absolute theocratic monarchy located in Yasteria known for having the largest population, the [[Nuclear weapons state|largest nuclear weapons stockpile]], [[List of countries by military expenditure|third-largest military budget]], the [[List of countries by number of military personnel|third-largest military by the number of personnel]], the third-largest GDP, largest surface area, and among rates of biological diversity in the world. Yet, it is not part of many international partnerships nor does it have warm relationships with many nations. Nevertheless, its foreign policy is dynamic and fills a niche specifically in low-cost manufacturing, commodities, and narcotics as well as alternative means of conflict and dispute resolution that international multilateral organisations and liberal democratic powers do not.
== Policy ==
Countries that want to have diplomatic relations with Packilvania are expected to recognise central and western Yasteria as part of the Packilvanian Sphere of Influence. Furthermore, they are required to recognise [[Lyon]] as a part of Packilvania or to not recognise Lyon as an independent nation. Some nations practice a policy of strategic ambiguity whereby they do not explicitly state their position on Lyon while recognizing Packilvania. Packilvania has been known to leverage its economic and military might to bully smaller states. In other instances, Packilvania has used the [[Packilvanian Expeditionary Force]] to support non-state actors in meddling in the political affairs of other nations. Packilvania does not recognize many international conventions and participates in very few formal multilateral initiatives. Instead, it prefers bilateral engagements. This has resulted in it struggling to exert influence outside of its immediate territory.

[[File:Packilvanian Gateway States.png|thumb|The gateway states of [[Alksearia]], [[Phoenixia]], [[Stelvania]], [[Iphelklori,]] [[Hadena]], [[Kalatya]] and [[Tennabroch]] are key to Packilvania's policy of freedom of navigation]]
Significant geopolitical concerns for Packilvania include access to freshwater, protection of its northern border and freedom of navigation in the Concordian, Packilvanian and Pacific Oceans.
Most of Packilvania's freshwater originates from the [[Ta'lavero Mountains]] and [[Uliveru Mountains]]. This is a system of high-altitude mountains in Eastern Allegheny, Eastern Drakkengard, Western and Southern [[Vekaiyu]]. The importance of reliable and abundant access to freshwater has been an existential issue for the Packilvanian state since its founding in the 7th century. Due the fact that much of its North, West and East territories are arid, water for irrigation and consumption from the rivers originating in the Uliveru and Ta'lavero Mountains have been crucial in sustaining life, agriculture and industry. The advent of modern industry and the immense growth of the population as well as climate change have made access to fresh water more pressing. Analysts and historians have attributed the millenia-long disputes and wars between [[Vekaiyu]] and Packilvania to control over water resources. The [[Uliveru Mountains]] and [[Ta'lavero Mountains]] of Vekaiyu, are some of the largest sources of freshwater in the world.
For most of Packilvania's history, the north and western deserts have proven to be important barriers against invasions from those directions. However, due to the vulnerability of the South and Center (which are the most economically, politically and demographically important parts of the country), Packilvania has always had to protect its northern border. At the same time, this has presented challenges for outward expansion. Due to the relatively flat terrain of its most important parts, outward expansions to the desert has been crucial in its defence.
Access to the seas has been of supreme geostrategic importance. As such, Packilvania has always tried to secure its interests in the Packilvanian, Concordian and [[Pacific Ocean]]'s through territorial expansion. At the height of its power during the [[Demirite dynasty]], Packilvania controlled territories in the East and West of Yasteria and north of Arcturia to ensure access to these seas. With the advent of global trade, access to these areas is of high geostrategic significance. With most of its economic prosperity relying on foreign exports, the Arcturian Straits have proven crucial for Packilvanian trade. As the system of colonisation has waned, Packilvania has sought instead to build alliances or extort cooperation from the so-called Gateway States of [[Phoenixia]], [[Alksearia]], and [[Hadena]]. To ensure access to the Borean Sea, Packilvania has maintained a very close relationship with [[Musetszna]]. Packilvania continues to control [[Antimovo & Sarimov]] to ensure uninterrupted access to the Pacific Ocean.
== Programs ==
Many of the programs that Packilvania adopts are an example of hub and spoke diplomacy whereby Packilvania is the hub and the allied nations are the spokes. As such these programs exist in the framework of bilateral agreements between Packilvania and its allies which follow the framework of the programs mentioned below:
=== Foreign Military Assistance ===
The Foreign Military Assistance Program is an architecture of bilateral agreements between Packilvania and its allies whereby it aims to accomplish the following:
* Provision 1: Interoperability of weapons and support systems,
* Provision 2: Mutual protection in the case of unprovoked attack by a foreign power on their territory as recognised and defined by mutual agreement,
* Provision 3: Non-aggression against each other,
* Provision 4: Establishment of military bases and/or other military facilities in the allied country's territory
* Provision 5: Nuclear umbrella whereby Packilvania deploys its nuclear assets to the allied state to be used in the case of a nuclear attack in line with Packilvania's non-first-strike policy.
* Provision 6: Joint development of military technology
* Provision 7: Seek Packilvanian supported or administered meditation and arbitration of disputes against other countries who are signatories of treaties established in terms of FMAP.
* Provision 8: Mutual intelligence sharing
* Provision 9: Prior warning of a pre-emptive military strike against an aggressor power
* Provision 10: Joint military exercises,
* Provision 11: Joint training military personnel
Depending on the extent to which the agreement with the other state encompasses the provisions of the FMAP, the Packilvanian government will assign a tiered classification. The only country to reach the highest tier of the FMAP program is [[Drakkengard]]. Other nations which participate in the program to varying degrees are detailed in the section on the List of countries with diplomatic relations. The minimum provision that must be accepted to join the program is Provision 3.
=== Preferential Market Access ===
The Preferential Market Access Program (PMAP) is designed to facilitate closer cooperation between Packilvania and participating states. This entails lowering trade barriers including tariffs, lowering barriers to movement namely related to easing restrictions to commercial travel, tourism, studying and working in each other's countries, swapping currencies (enabling participating states to gain direct access to the [[Packilvanian dinar|Packilvanian dinars]] instead of going through the Packilvanian Currency Exchange Bureau) and other economic cooperation measures. Nations that participate are expected to recognise Packilvania and its claims to Lyon.
== International Agreements and Memberships ==
Packilvania is a member of the [[International Forum]]. It joined in early to mid 2022. As of 15 July 2022, it is represented by [[Prince Faijil]] a-Uhayed Bedon who was appointed by [[Prince Thumim a-Namdun Bedon]]. Packilvania is also a signatory of the [[Commercial Cooperation Partnership]], an invite-only agreement on normalizing economic relationships with member states of the [[League of Novaris]] that was formed in 2022. It is a signatory of the [[Puntalian Compromise Treaty]] signed after the end of the [[2020 Puntalian Crisis|Puntalian Crisis]].
In 2022, [[Packilvania]] and the [[Union of Commonwealth Alliances]] signed an agreement known as the [[Treaty of Culoria]] which stated that they would work towards a referendum for [[Puntalia]] to join [[New Puntalia]] or become independent and to basically end the conflict. Furthermore, Packilvania and some member states signed the [[Pax-UCA Trade Partnership]] to thaw trade tensions that had arisen due to the crisis. Packilvania is also a signatory (and the chief architect) of the [[International Convention on Climate Change]]. It is a member state of the [[International Banking Exchange Cooperative]], [[ICAF|International Coalition of Association Football]], the [[Nuvrenon Convention|International Road Signage and Markings, Convention]], and the [[ICHO|International Cultural Heritage Organisation]].
