INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
The Jade Empire has a long and complex history with regards to international relations. The default attitude of the Jade Empire towards foreign nations is one of reserved tolerance. Trade is a priority and is typically the first topic of discussion when contacting new civilisations, although it can and will be discouraged when the ineluctable cultural exchange that follows is deemed to be undesirable, harmful or distasteful.
The Jade Empire is no longer the expansionist power it was during the years of the Gladius Pace, but it is still a militaristic feudal monarchy with a strong, well-funded military and a pro-active national defense policy. Its diplomats and governmental personnel typically guide their decisions through the concepts of the Eightfold Fences and the Three Favoured Faces, which means that although they are polite, considerate and accommodating, their policy decisions and overall objectives are often concealed from even their close allies and they typically have ulterior motives which may or may not meet the needs, requirements or hopes of foreign parties.

EMBASSIES AND ALLIANCES
