Passport of Ebenthal (new model).

The diplomatic foreign relations of the Kingdom of Ebenthal are conducted by the Ministry of External Relations. Nonetheless, the Prime Minister, and particularly the Monarch, play a significant role in setting the country's foreign policy, as well as many institutions and agencies. Ebenthal de facto recognizes two forms of diplomatic relations, they are formal, which is usually obtained through a treaty of mutual recognition and friendship, and informal, characterized by tacit mutual recognition of the status of sovereign state by two or more governments, even if they do not maintain ordinary relations or specified by documents of intermicronational organizations. The Monarch, as the nation's supreme representative, is the ultimate authority on foreign policy and his royal assent is required in all contracts with external parties.

Ebenthal is a member state of the Conference of Santiago, International Aerospace Community and Micronational Trade Organization, as well as a party in the Pact of Malmünd.

Foreign policy

Ebenthal's foreign policy is based on the principles of multilateralism and international cooperation. The state strongly opposes false or fictitious claims typical of simulationism and geofiction; Broadly speaking, it does not recognize self-proclaimed nations that simulate governments of existing or no longer existing states, that claim fictional territory, in an online environment or off-Earth, or that actively engage in storytelling, roleplay or fictional claims, as it considers that do not fit into the accepted definitions of a nation, according to Montevideo Convention, or a micronation, which is nothing more than a state on a scale so small and, at times, ineffective to the point of be ignored by the international community and not even be recognized as a microstate. This interpretation is further upheld by the Treaty of Persenburg and the Wrythe Convention, both of which Ebenthal is a signatory.

After becoming a signatory to the Protocol of Klöw in 2021, foreign policy Ebenthaler began a process of reviewing its diplomatic relations by adopting new parameters for this, such as non-recognition of states or regimes that violate human rights gratuitously , such as the equality of rights of LGBT people. The country also adopts the stance of recognizing the right to universal self-determination and immediately recognizes separatist states.

Influence

From 2020 onwards, Ebenthal has been widely recognized as a great power within the Brazilian sector and as a whole among the South American micronational community. Due to its position, the country exercises great influence within and outside its primary sector of political activity; This is mainly due to the prominence that the country has achieved as an exponent of micronationalism of Brazilian origin outside its sector and to the interpersonal relationships between members of the national administrative structure and foreign personalities. Often Ebenthaler foreign policy is aligned with the objectives of the Conference of Santiago and the Pact of Malmünd. Although he adopts cooperation as a foundation of his foreign policy, in recent years Ebenthal has maintained a somewhat interventionist stance, helping fledgling micronations, installing his agents in other governments and effectively transforming these nations into satellite or client states. For a time, and with relative success, Ebenthal sought to make his position indispensable to the external development of other micronations in his native sector.
