European relations

Norway

Easway's relationship with the Kingdom of Norway has been complicated by the 2017 independence and history of Norway's Christianisation which led to the dissolution of the Easwegian Commonwealth in the 19th century. Nevertheless, Easway always held the view that Norwegians were an integral part of the Easwegian nation, and that reconciliation efforts should be made between the two states. This was largely prevented in the early years of Easway's independence due to the animosity between the Government of Easway and Norway's Conservative Party, who was in power at the time. Some of these differences included the Conservative Party's relationship with the World Economic Forum whom Easway deems anti-democratic, their rightist views on minorities, their poor relationships with Russia through Vardø, which Easway considers a threat to world peace, and the merger of Norwegian municipalities to the cited detriment of its residents, many with Easwegian heritage, and the governments undercover support of the now defeated anti-Easwegian terror group Kingdom - 1925.

Despite this, current Urdport marquis and Norwegian-born Frankie served as Consul-General of Norway from 2 January 2021 to 1 January 2023. Relations with Norway were heavily mended when the Labour party returned to power in the country in October 2021. The merged municipalities were returned to their original status. The Labour party has also been observed to be pro-Palestinian, a position important to the Easwegian people.

North American relations

United States

Diplomatic relations with the United States of America were first established on 9 June 2020 during the first federal Council. Wisp served as the first Consul-General until 9 December 2020, after which relations have since been inactive.

South American relations

Venezuela

Easway has not recognised the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, under its rule by Nicolas Maduro, since 3 August 2021. This move is in solidarity with the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, Venezuela's neighbour whom Venezuela intends to annex 2/3 of its western territory. Furthermore, the flying of Venezuela's eight star flag, adopted in 2006, is prohibited under anti-extremism laws.
