Diplomacy

The grand duchy’s foreign affairs are administered by The Sovereign, in consultation with the Council of State, pursuant to the guidelines established by the Foreign Diplomatic Policy reinstated by 2026 AS 13. Since the policy’s creation during the Interconfederale period, it has aided the government in maintaining strict and consistent standards for Eniarku’s diplomatic activites. As with many micronations, while most of Eniarku’s early diplomatic ties were informal and not officially codified, the modern policy requires at least some formalization of relations with other states and entities. Since April 2026, Eniarku has been a member state of the Conference of Santiago, and was formerly a member of the North American Micronational Culture Organization (NAMCO), the Triune Alliance (as a constituent state of the North American Confederation), and the Grand Unified Micronational (GUM).

Since the end of the Austenasian Civil War in mid-2010, Eniarku has remained in a state of armed neutrality and generally follows a foreign policy based on cooperation and the principles of non-interventionism. Currently, the grand duchy unilaterally recognizes all members states of the United Nations and non-member observer states (including the Holy See, the State of Palestine, and the Republic of China), as well as the Principality of Sealand, and maintains both informal and formal relations (with a signed treaty).

Requirements for Recognition

Eniarku has long recognized the special role of the right of self-determination in micronationalism, and thus informally acknowledges all micronations. However, the government does not automatically confer formal recognition on micronational states simply by virtue of their existence, owing in part to the known historical trend that most do not survive for longer than six months. This practice, while little more than a norm under previous administrations, is now codified in section 4 of the Foreign Diplomatic Policy, wherein the government has established the following set of criteria for formal recognition of other micronations (which generally involves the signing of a treaty of mutual recognition, cooperation, and friendship):

1. The foreign state has existed for not less than 180 days.
2. The foreign state is not engaged in a state of war with another foreign state.
3. The foreign state satisfies all of the following conditions, as established by the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States:
   • The foreign state has a non-zero population, not including the unregistered residents of a micronational state’s claimed territory.
   • The foreign state has a defined territory, not including extraterrestrial territorial claims or any claims that are based on virtual, imaginary, or geofictional maps.
   • The foreign state has a government capable of administering the foreign state’s territorial claims and conducting itself in diplomatic affairs.
   • The foreign state has the capacity to enter into diplomatic relations with other states.
4. The foreign state has a meaningful digital and physical footprint that is well-documented, verifiable, and truthful.
