Bilateral relations

Alharu (Tyuju)

Esonice and Alharu have a deep interconnected history with one another as Proto-Azumic peoples migrated from the Paran Desert and spread across the Shield Islands, including Esonice. Esonice had extensive trade trade connections with many empires on continental Alharu such as the Huang empires which Esonice had significant cultural contact with. Other empires Esonice had extensive relations with historically such as the Tuachec Empire. In modern times, Esonice seeks closer ties with Alharun nations and closer involvement in economic and diplomatic matters, including investing into its economies.

The formal name of Alharu in Esonian is 中洲 (Tyuju) meaning 'middle continent'. The casual name of Alharu is アルハル (Aruharu).

Argis (Bokuju)

Esonice has steadily become more active in Argic affairs, establishing new connections with Argic states and increasing investments into the continent. Historically Esonice always shared a special relationship with Argis due to Proto-Yasic migrations into the islands of Esonice intermixing with the local Azumic natives that formed the early basis of Esonice's cultural and linguistic identity. That special relationship has been further reinforced by Argic colonialism in Esonice by countries such as Seylos, Iverica, Garindina and Gotneska.

In Esonian, Argis is formally known as 北洲 (Bokuju) meaning 'northern continent'. The casual name of Argis is アルジス (Arujisu).

Aurelia (Näju)

Esonice is very involved in Aurelian affairs and is part of several organisations and institutions on the continent, including the Aurelian Shield Community and most importantly the Aurelian League which Esonice is an integral member of. Esonice shares much of its history with other nations of Aurelia, especially in the Aurelian Shield and West Aurelia. The Sheng dynasty which used to control a vast island empire in the Aurelian Shield spread its culture and religious beliefs to the native Azumic natives of Esonice which formed the basis of Esonian identity. The Aurelian Empire had an influential impact on Esonice as well through trade. Esonice has as well been involved in Aurelian-based conflicts such as the Second Aurelian War and the wars between Esonice and Kolhar over the former Sheng core.

The formal Esonian name of Aurelia is 南洲 (Näju, also fragranised as Nanju) meaning 'southern continent'. The casual name of Aurelia is オレリャ (Orerya).
