While primarily focused within its region of the Eastern Periclean Sea, Rhynovia is a growing export market for consumer and industrial goods. Thus, its focus in foreign relations has expanded across the globe to gather key trade and strategic alliances as well as look towards the national security of the Grand Principality. A large portion of foreign relations also deals with the large aristocracy within the nation that have many networks with other monarchies in the region of Ajax. On an international stage Rhynovia is seen as largely benevolent, typically seen as attempting to grow relationships on the international stage vice causing problems with other nations. But to this point, Rhynovia is a very cautious nation due to its recent turbulent internal history which is largely viewed as having been influenced by foreign powers. The Ministry of Foreign affairs is the official government agency that handles state diplomacy.

Country/Organization	Current state of relations
Belfras	The Federation of Belfras is a strategic partner of Rhynovia and an emerging foreign market for Rhynovian industrial and consumer goods. A free trade agreement between the two nations and this dominates inter-government relations which are strong. The Rhynovian military often imports large amount of Belfrian defense products.
Belisarian Community	While Rhynovia has no interest in joining the BC, the Belisarian Community is one of its largest consumers of exports and thus an important economic partner. Rhynovia currently holds the status of Associate of the Belisarian Community, purely for trade reasons and special benefits an associations status gives. Ultimately Rhynovia wishes to obtain an FTA with the BC. Rhynovia is also rather wary of expanding BC influence in eastern Belisaria and does not like the BC encroaching on what it feels is it's own sphere of influence. In totality the relationship between Rhynovia and the BC is friendly, but also cautions on Rhynoiva's part.
Template:Country data Joint Space Agency	Rhynovia is a full member of the Joint Space Agency, leveraging it industrial base to contribute to the multinational confederation of national space agencies and private corporations dedicated to the exploration of space. In this partnership Rhynovia has been able to launch several communications, reconnaissance, and scientific satellites that have been beneficial to its economy and defense prowess. Rhynovia aims to use this relationship to further its diplomatic relations on an international scale.
Nekulturnya	Both nations are successors to the old Empire of Velikoslavia, and have often been rivals in such since the split of the Empire in the 17th century. During the Velikoslavian Civil War both Rhynovia and Nekullturnya were the prominent members of rival factions, and such bad blood has continued through history. Both nations were also opposite sides of the Great War in which Nekullturnya led a notorious and bloody invasion into Rhynovia which killed thousands of Rhynovians. In modern times both nations are still at odds from a relations standpoint and little commerce flows between them. However due to trafficking, illegal markets along the border, organized crime partnerships between the two governments is stale.
Rabinovska	While both nations were on opposite sides of the Great War in contemporary times relations between Rabinovska and Rhynovia are friendly. Being the western neighbor of the Grand Principality, Rabinovska is the gateway for Rhynovian goods to the rest of Belisaria and thus are close trade partners to ensure the flow of goods.
Yisrael	While some distance from being neighbors, the northern Scipian nation of Yisrael is both a trading partner of Rhynovian goods and Yisraeli arms and a close military partner of Rhynovia. Both nations have agreements in place such as the Werther Memorandum, to engage in joint exercises, technology exchanges, and training of each other's militaries.
