External Analysis of Utaristani Foreign Policy
Cise, Utaristan | 21. 4. 5719
This analysis is the third and final part of a series of publications of external analyses of Utaristan that include external analyses of the Utaristani economy, factions of the Revolutionary People's Party, and foreign policy of the Revolutionary People's Republic.
Utaristan finds itself in precaurius position on the field of international politics. The revolutionary regime has to balance the revolutionary zeal of Utaristani internal politics, and the prgmatic realism required for any sort of international policy. Within the Dovani continent, the isolated North Dranea is ideologically the closest to the Revoltuionary Republic, but the isolationist Dranean dictatorship has not shown much support for the Revoltionary republic, despite rumours of planned conference. As such the closest internationally active nation to Utaristan is the Democratic Republic of Xsampa.
The Xsampa-Utaristani relationship can be simply described as messy. While both states present themselves as democratic and socialist republics, the actual political systems are very different. Xsampa with its ideology of 'Participatory Metzism' is a pseudo-democratic state with socialist market economy. Utaristan meanwhile follows the 'Three Fundamental Ideologies' and the 'Six Revolutionary Goals', as is a one-party state where all the power ultimately sits in the hands of the Revoltionary People's Party of Utaristan and its General Secretary Abenanka Ibraev. Another major difference is the approach to foreign politics. The Utaristani regime views the Altéa Accord as a collection of bourgeoisie regimes and imperialist absolute monarchies whose interests are in direct conflict with Dovani. On the other hand Xsampa has very warm relationship with the monarchies of Kalistan and Egelion, and along with New Verham is a member of the Altéa Accords. Xsampan and New Verhamese ascension to the Altéa Accords is considered to be the primary reason for Utaristan losing it's interest in joining the Dovani Security Organisation. Despite Utaristan's dislike of Xsampa's policies, both domestic and foreign, the regime is still heavily reliant on humanitarian aid and investment from the socialist state. However it is clear that if the Revoltionary republic ever sees a opportunity to ditch Xsampa in favour of more aligned state, it will not hesitate to do so.
Outside of Xsampa, Utaristan's allies in Dovani are Bianjie, New Verham, and Midway, due to cooperation within the Dovani Union. While Bianjie is a constitutional monarchy, something opoosed by the zealots within the Revolutionary People's Party, the two states still enjoy close relations due to their shared distrust of cooperation with outsiders, though Utaristan is more radical in its approach to the Altéa Accords and support for 'Dovani for Dovanians' policy, compared to Bianjie which is willing to engage in economic cooperation with states outside Dovani. It is not impossible, though improbable, that we might see Dovani rift between Xsampa and New Verham on one side, and Utaristan and Bianjie on the other.
While Utaristan has plenty of 'allies' within Dovani thanks to the Dovani Union, outside the Dovani the situation is different. Utaristan has little to no roelations with any country outside Dovani, however it has once clear enemy. Egelion is formerly absolute monarchy, now in process of constitutionalsiing, known for it's active interventionism. It has been referred to as 'grave danger', 'imminent danger', and even as 'the ultimate enemy of the Revolution'. While the shift away from absolute monarchy has dulled some of the edge of the criticism, Egelion is still seen as the number one enemy of the Revolutionary People's Republic.
Recently Utaristani foreign policy has been mostly passive, however it is clear that it is in the interest of the revolutionary regime for that to change. For Utaristan to rise above its current status it has to become equal to its allies, and not just Xsampan puppet. The most obvious way is diversification of foreign relations, for example by establishing relations with North Dranea. There are rumours that utaristan is planning to restore its export of rare earth metals to Xsampa, which would help make the economy relationship between the two socialist states more equal, and could reduce of Utaristants dependence on Xsampan aid.
