While a Kozakuran intent on forming trade relations with the Yuldo Special Self-Governing Authority resulted in a diplomatic protest from the Arcadie, Kozakuran diplomats reassured Arcadie officials of its bilateral security commitment.

In addition to the security agreement, various bilateral cross-cultural and economic treaties were signed in the following years fostering positive relations.

Indirect relations was established between the Kozakuran government and the Kylarnatian mainland in the region of Gholgoth and more direct relations between the native Cathalan-Azuri populace.

[Present Bilateral Agreements Listed Here]

Historically, formal relations between Kylarnatia (through Cathalina-Magea) and Kozakura begun in the mid-18th century when the latter started its creation of a diplomatic and trade relations network in Esvanovia. A Kozakuran diplomatic delegation, led by Princess Zano Heijisha of the Orinami clans, begun in Cathalina-Magea in 1801, with a subsequent foreign visit in the Kylarnatian mainland in the following year. Princess Zano's diplomatic expedition soon the current precedent in Kozakuran foreign policy towards extraregional territories.

Relations remain stable until 1952 following Kozakuran Empire's dissolution and loss of territorial holdings following the Great War and the Kozakuran Seccession Crisis. In the turmoil, the Sakurada Shogunate took over the government beginning the Sakoku period. During the Sakoku period, the Sakurada Shogunate removed all foreign diplomatic missions with the exceptions from Meridon and Marquesan allowing them to become Protecting Powers for foreign missions. The Kylarnatian/Cathalina-Magea diplomatic mission came under the protection of the Marquesan diplomatic mission.

This arrangement came to an end in 1979 when the Yamauchi Shogunate took over in a bloodless coup and began the Fukkatsu period. Foreign missions were once again allowed to operate outside of their protecting powers. Kylarnatia (through Cathalina-Magea) resumed their diplomatic relations in 1982, one of the first to resume relations after nearly 30 years of isolationism.

<Various historical stuff here>

From 1952 to 1979, Meridon and Marquesan were designated as protecting powers for various diplomatic missions in Esvanovia during the Sakoku Period. Meridon hosted various diplomatic missions from nations east of the Anagonian Ocean and the East Arvolken Sea.

Current Kozakuran-Meridonian defence agremeents range from military arms procurement, technology transfers, and constructing Kozakuran naval designs in Meridonian shipyards. In addition to these defence agreements, cultural, economic agrements were signed as well.

 Neo-Korea - State of Neo-Korea Yes N/A N/A Historically, Kozakuran-Kāichrén relations were generally non-existent, owing to a lack of historical interaction or shared geopolitical causes. Following the Kozakuran cessation of hostilities during the Great War, and the subsequent post-war territorial losses it suffered, it became the general historical line of thought in relation to Kozakura that it represented a drain on resources and a general “wasted ally” during the course of the Great War. Despite this assessment, defence acquisitions through third parties were made in the late 1997 when the Kozakuran Grand Army chose the NMT-92 Sangaku as their third-generation main battle tank.

Relations remain frozen until the 2015 Marquesan Intervention, and the rapid Neo-Korean realignment against Aureumterra which followed, that relations were re-established.
