In this section, we will explore the key foreign policy initiatives and events of the Jardonisk government from 2011 to 2015.

#### The "Internationale" initiative - Cooperation and Solidarity

The "Internationale" initiative was a major foreign policy initiative of the Jardonisk government during its first term in office (2011-2015). The main goal of the initiative was to promote cooperation and solidarity among nations, particularly those in the global south. To achieve this goal, the Jardonisk government pursued a number of different strategies, including strengthening existing international institutions and building new ones, promoting economic development and social justice, and fostering greater cultural exchange and understanding. One of the most notable achievements of the "Internationale" initiative was the establishment of the International Cooperation Agency (ICA), a new international organization dedicated to promoting cooperation and solidarity among nations. The ICA was widely seen as a major success, and was praised by leaders and citizens around the world for its efforts to promote global cooperation and development.

The "Internationale" initiative (or ICA), was founded in 2012 by Northern Riojania, Cuba, and Venezuela. Syria joined just weeks after the foundation. Today, the ICA includes a total of 8 member countries: Northern Riojania, Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Vietnam. In 2012, during the early stages of the Syrian Civil War, the ICA voted to expel Syria from the organization due to the Syrian government's violent crackdown on protests and human rights abuses. The expulsion was seen as a strong condemnation of the Syrian government's actions and a clear stance on the part of the ICA in support of the Syrian people.

The ICA is famously welcoming of observer states, that are underrepresented in other international institutions. This is a list of all observer states:

* Catalonia: Especially the party leadership of "Podemos!". Catalonia has been seeking independence from Spain.
* Democratic Federation of Northern Syria: a semi-autonomous region in Syria that has been recognized by the ICA as a state due to its progressive social policies and commitment to democracy.
* Western Sahara: a disputed territory located in northwest Africa, claimed by both Morocco and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR). The SADR, with the support of Algeria, is recognized by the ICA as the legitimate representative of Western Sahara.
* Palestine: a de facto sovereign state in the Middle East, recognized by the ICA as a state but not by the United Nations.
* Kosovo: a partially recognized state in the Balkans, recognized by the ICA as a state but not by all UN member states.
