Foreign relations of Adammia

Jump to search
In the Empire of Adammia, foreign relations are the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, though only the Monarch can grant diplomatic recognition (usually on the advice of the Ministry). Multilateral treaties can be ratified after the Monarch has signed them by the Ruling Council. Foreign affairs is mainly governed by Imperial Decrees XIII and XX.
Adammia joined the Grand Unified Micronational on 12 May 2013, in which it eventually became fairly influential; Adammic delegate Emperor Adam I was Chair of the GUM from September 2014 to December 2014 and from April 2015 to July 2015. However, the collapse of the GUM as an organisation, along with Emperor Adam's personal dissatisfaction with a number of foreign micronational leaders, led to Adammia becoming increasingly withdrawn from international affairs in 2015. When the GUM was revived as an organisation in 2016, Adammia once again became an active participant, and is now steadily regaining its lost influence.
Bilateral relations
Micronations allied with Adammia
The Mohawk Empire signed a treaty of mutual recognition and alliance with Adammia on 3 August 2016, two days after it became independent from Adammia as the former colony of Borealia. The two nations have a military alliance.
The Tsardom of Nolland was recognised by Imperial Decree XIII on 7 September 2013. As a former member of the Wurtige bloc, Nolland has had informal interactions with Adammia on a number of occasions, and the two nations had somewhat amicable relations in Adammia's earlier years, before Nolland became inactive. When Nolland was revitalised in 2018, Adammia and Nolland quickly developed strong ties, due to the fact that both Emperor Adam I and the Tsar of Nolland were members of the UK Young Liberals; in July 2018, Adammia and Nolland signed a mutual recognition treaty. Through Nolland, Adam I was introduced to other YL micronationalists from Talossa and Herbatrea, creating an informal grouping of micronations linked to the Young Liberals. In August 2018, Adammia and Nolland's heads of state met in person and signed the Cardiff Pact, establishing a military alliance between the two countries; Emperor Adam described the relations between the two nations as a "special relationship", an apparent reference to be so-called Special Relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States.
Micronations with a mutual recognition treaty with Adammia
Emperor Adam I represents Adammia at Austenasia's 10th Independence Day celebrations. L-R: Grand Duke Julian of Lundenwic, Prime Minister Michael Lewis of Lundenwic, Princess Hannah of Wildflower Meadows, Emperor Jonathan I, John Gordon, Emperor Adam I, Emperor Father Terry.
Mercia was the first ever micronation to sign a treaty of mutual recognition with Adammia, when it was known as Burnham on 8 July 2013. It was the first nation to recognise Adammia as well as the first nation which Adammia recognised. Mercia is traditionally seen in Adammia as an informal ally, and the two nations have very amicable relations, with their respective Head of States exchanging gifts: Lord Richard I has been made a Knight of the Order of Adammia, whilst Emperor Adam I was made Count of Penmine and Spildcastle, a subdivision of Clyro in Mercia. Adam I was sporadically active in Mercian politics, at one point becoming Deputy Prime Minister in 2016, but later resigned his citizenship and his noble title due to political differences in 2020.
The Kingdom of Wyvern signed a treaty of mutual recognition with Adammia on 5 August 2013. On 1 January 2020, Wyvern's Holy Roman Empire recognised Adam I's claim to the title of Emperor, and Adammia recognised King Quentin I as Holy Roman Emperor, as part of a trilateral treaty between Adammia, Wyvern and Austenasia. Adammia and Wyvern have a long history of co-operation in the Grand Unified Micronational. Given Ashukovo's inactivity and political differences with Mercia, Wyvern has perhaps the oldest diplomatic relationship with Adammia which is still significant.
The Empire of Austenasia was recognised by Imperial Decree XIII on 7 September 2013. On 23 May 2018, Adammia and Austenasia signed a Treaty of Mutual Recognition and Friendship. Emperor Adam is the 11th cousin once removed of Jonathan I, Emperor of Austenasia, and the two personally have a strong friendship. They met in-person for the first time on 15 September 2018, when Emperor Adam was invited to Wrythe as part of Austenasia's 10th Independence Day celebrations. This was Emperor Adam's first ever official state visit to another micronation, and it saw both nations becoming some of the first signatories to the Wrythe Convention. However, in April 2019 many Adammic politicians criticised Austenasia due to its constitutional amendment which effectively prohibited same-sex marriage in that nation; this culminated in the Ruling Council passing a motion of condemnation, and Emperor Jonathan releasing a statement defending the amendment. These tensions were somewhat defused when the then-Prime Ministers of Adammia and Austenasia at the time, Lord Saunders and Brooklyn Hewitt respectively, encountered each other in a Facebook Messenger group chat for the Tsardom of Nolland and were able to have a frank exchange of views. Both nations collaborated on organising the 2019 GUM Birmingham Summit, where both nations signed the Edgbaston Convention. On 1 January 2020, another treaty was signed under which Austenasia recognised Adam I's claim to the title of Emperor under the Imperium doctrine. This treaty was trilateral between Adammia, Austenasia and Wyvern's Holy Roman Empire, all of which now recognise each other as holding Imperium. After the coronavirus pandemic, the two emperors met again on 14 August 2021 along with Mike Lewis to discuss plans for a possible UK-focussed micronational association. At two ceremonies held on 5 and 7 November 2022, Emperor Adam served as a groomsman to Emperor Jonathan at his wedding to Princess Hannah.
The Kingdom of Überstadt signed a treaty of mutual recognition with Adammia on 15 January 2014. The two nations have interacted occasionally since then, especially after Überstadt and Adammia joined the "rebooted" GUM.

The former Flandrensisian Commonwealth signed a treaty of mutual recognition with Adammia on 29 March 2015. The two nations have had minimal interactions since then. After the Commonwealth disbanded, the treaty carried over to the constituent states of the Commonwealth.
The Imperial Grand Duchy of Lundenwic was recognised by the Elections and Diplomacy Act 2016 on 14 May 2016. In July 2017, Adammia and Lundenwic signed a mutual recognition treaty. Emperor Adam met Grand Duke Julian and Mike Lewis for the first time at Austenasia's 10th Independence Day celebrations in Wrythe on 15 September 2018. Emperor Adam met Lewis again on 14 August 2021 alongside Emperor Jonathan I to discuss plans for a possible UK-focussed micronational association.
The Abeldane Empire and Commonwealth was recognised by the Diplomacy Act 2017 on 7 July 2017. In September 2017, Adammia and Abelden signed a mutual recognition treaty. Since then, the two nations have interacted very little, and relations remain cordial on paper.
The Kingdom of Wazakhstan signed a treaty of mutual recognition with Adammia on 5 June 2018. Wazakhstan shares very close ties with Adammia, as both nations are in close proximity within the Birmingham Sector. Wazakhstan's Prime Minister Ned Hilton is the only foreign micronational leader to date to have visited Adammia and to have addressed Adammia's Ruling Council. Adammia and Wazakhstan have a dual citizenship agreement, under which each state agrees not to discriminate by an applicant's status in the other nation when processing citizenship applications. As of 31 December 2018, Wazakhstan has become the only micronation to have a land border with Adammia, with its Oblast of Goodbold being an enclave of the territory of Ashoria.
The Republic of Ashukovo was the second ever nation to sign a treaty of mutual recognition with Adammia in 2013, when it was known as the Ashukov Federation. It was later recognised again by the Diplomacy Act 2017 on 7 July 2017. After this iteration of Ashukovo became inactive, Adammia revoked recognition on 16 May 2019. Most recently, Adammia and Ashukovo renewed their original 2013 treaty on 17 June 2020, re-establishing relations between the two countries.
