Alliances and neighbouring states

One union, two open frontiers, one closed since 1939

The Democratic Socialist Bloc

Founded at Lindoma in 1994 by Fluid, Iosmein and Reformed Luces Aporia.

Article 293 binds the Republic to a union founded on social ownership, ecological limits, democratic self-government and the equality of its members, and forbids membership of any union whose founding instrument requires a market in the means of production, in labour, in land, in dwellings, in health, in education or in knowledge. Article 336(1) gives the Republic until July 2028 to bring the Bloc's own instrument into conformity.

The largest change is Article 294. Common standards agreed in the Bloc now take effect in the Republic only when the Assembly enacts them. No act of a Bloc organ applies here of its own force, binds a court, or creates a right, and no competence of the Assembly, the planning bodies, the courts, the oversight offices or the territories may be transferred to it. The Republic can be outvoted in the Bloc and still decline, at whatever cost the instrument attaches.

Exchange inside the Bloc is settled in goods, labour, technique and knowledge, recorded in physical units through a single external account. A unit of settlement is used only where a counterparty insists, never circulates here, and is held by no resident. A common currency can never be accepted.

Neighbouring states

Allied States of Iosmein

Bloc memberLand border, open at the Corvaluri crossing since 1989Mirror: the Iosmen portal

The western neighbour, and the state that declined to enforce the embargo of 1949. Poorer than Fluid by every measure of provision, and the largest recipient of the solidarity transfers required by Article 303. Frontiers within the Bloc are open under Article 296(2), so residents of Iosmein enter, remain, work, study and receive care here on the footing of residents of the Republic.

Free Republic of Reformed Luces Aporia

Bloc memberMaritime corridor, Lutoliluri to SlulandMirror: the Aporean portal

A democratic socialist republic reached by sea from the southern port. Its constitution is considerably shorter than this one, a point its representatives make in Bloc sittings and which Article 319 concedes in advance. The maritime corridor handles most of the Republic's remaining external exchange, since the land border south is shut.

Kingdom of Bor Brashavenko

Frontier closedLand border, closed since 1939

The southern neighbour. Its monarchy aligned with the Axis in 1939 and shut the border, which has not reopened in eighty-seven years. It trades with everyone else in the region. Whether it is life-limiting within the meaning of Article 288 is a finding the Assembly must make by July 2028 under Article 336(2), on acts established by evidence and never on what the regime calls itself. Until a finding is made, exchange proceeds under Articles 117 and 298, which is to say hardly at all, because domestic capacity must be developed first.

Beyond the Bloc

Relations outside the Democratic Socialist Bloc follow from the Constitution. Alignment settles none of them. What a large state generally seeks from a small one is basing, procurement, alliance and a forum outside its courts, and the Republic can offer none of them. Where a partner's requirements happen to be compatible with Titles II, III and IV, relations are close; where they are not, relations are correct and thin. No finding under Article 288 has yet been made against any state.

European UnionLargest trading partner

The nearest large market and the destination of most licensed exports. Membership is impossible: the Republic meets the political criterion, fails the economic one by design, and could not accept the direct effect and primacy of Union law, which Article 294 refuses to every union alike. Cooperation is dense in standards, research, rescue at sea and disease control. The primary disagreement is the externalisation of the Union frontier, which Articles 296(5) and 296(6) prohibit the Republic from assisting.

Article 293Article 294Article 21Article 296

United StatesNeutral, limited, and critical

Relations have been limited since the embargo of 1949, which Western governments imposed and Iosmein declined to enforce. The Republic is neutral between the great powers and has no conflict with the American people, and its representatives are nonetheless openly critical of what they describe as imperial practice: the maintenance of military installations across other people's territory, extraterritorial sanctions whose effect falls upon populations, and the requirement that disputes with American firms be decided outside the courts of the country hosting them.

Article 286Article 21Article 291Article 8

ChinaTrade, on the Republic's terms

A supplier of specialised components the Republic cannot yet make and a buyer of processed uranium. Infrastructure and technology offers have repeatedly failed the licensing test: Article 21(3) requires transfer of technique to the knowledge commons as a condition of any licence, Article 163 forbids the delegation of a public function to anybody, and Article 117(5) forbids the borrowing that usually accompanies such offers.

Article 21Article 163Article 117Article 299

Russian FederationMinimal

Article 286(4) obliges the Republic to recognise no territorial acquisition obtained by force, and the conduct of a war of aggression or an occupation is a limb of the life-limiting test in Article 288(1). No finding under that Article has yet been made against any state; they are due by July 2028. Exchange is minimal and would in any case fall under Article 298, which requires domestic capacity to be developed first.

Article 286Article 288Article 298Article 300

TürkiyeNearest large state, minimal contact

The nearest large state to the peninsula, and the one with which the Republic has the least to do. There is no trade agreement, no cultural convention and no regular ministerial contact; exchange runs through third parties where it runs at all. The distance is a matter of policy. Geography accounts for none of it.

The Assembly's stated concerns are addressed to acts and to institutions, as Article 288(3) requires, and never to a people or a person. They are: the prosecution and removal from office of elected opposition figures since 2024, including mayors and, in May 2026, a party chairman removed by court order; the imprisonment of journalists and of people for their opinions; and the concentration of executive power effected by the constitutional change of 2017. International monitors have described the recent measures as undermining civil and political rights. The Turkish government describes them as ordinary judicial process and as responses to terrorism and to the coup attempt of 2016.

Weighing the other way, is that Türkiye has for more than a decade hosted one of the largest refugee populations in the world, which Articles 59 and 302 count in a state's favour.

No finding under Article 288 has been made against Türkiye or against any other state; they are due by July 2028 and will be made by law after a public procedure, reviewable in court by anyone who thinks the Assembly got it wrong. Meanwhile the Republic applies no sanction and joins no blockade, humanitarian assistance and rescue continue without exception, and Article 289 keeps citizenship open to anyone in flight from any of the acts described.

Article 288Article 289Article 286Article 59

NATO and military alliancesMembership impossible

Not a member of any alliance and constitutionally unable to become one. Article 8(2) prohibits foreign military installations, Article 277(3) requires a law passed by two thirds and a referendum before the forces act beyond the frontier, and Article 270(3) prohibits the export of any weapon or component to anyone. An automatic collective defence commitment cannot be squared with a requirement to ask the people first.

Article 8Article 268Article 270Article 277

United Nations and international bodiesActive member

The Republic participates and argues for reform of these bodies toward the equal weight of peoples within them. It may contribute to a peace mission established by a body of which it is a member, confined to interposition, protection of civilians, clearance of munitions, medical service, engineering and logistics, and only after a two-thirds law and a referendum. It accepts no immunity from the courts of the territory in which a mission takes place.

Article 286Article 277Article 278

If a state is found life-limiting

Exchange stops, except for a material or component that exists in no other state, is needed for a purpose the plan ranks, and cannot be substituted, recovered from stock or made here. Each transaction then needs a public licence naming the quantity, the counterparty and the searches made for an alternative. The Assembly may cut a state to humanitarian contact alone. Nothing in any of this reaches the people of that state: a finding attaches to a government and never to its population, humanitarian aid and rescue continue without exception, and anyone fleeing acquires citizenship here on recognition without the usual five years. See Articles 288, 289 and 300.

What the Republic will not sign

No treaty may submit the Republic to foreign or arbitral jurisdiction in a dispute with a company, require a sector to be opened to enterprises operating for profit, require an exclusive right over knowledge, alienate a commons resource, permit a foreign base, create external debt, accept financial conditionality, or restrict the amendment of the Constitution. A commitment of that kind is void and binds nobody. See Article 291.

Solidarity

At least one hundredth of everything the plan allocates goes to peoples in want, in goods, labour, technique, knowledge and training, recorded in physical units. It creates no debt and has no condition touching the recipient's internal affairs, form of government or alignment. The floor cannot be cut, suspended or deferred, including during an emergency or an armed attack. See Articles 302 to 304.

Open frontiers

Free movement across every frontier is a standing objective: the Republic must seek reciprocal opening agreements and conclude them where they impose nothing contrary to Titles II, III or IV. It funds, equips and trains no foreign body whose function is preventing movement, and no agreement may oblige it to detain people for another state or to run asylum procedures on someone else's territory. See Article 296.
