Foreign relations of Siangwaan

This is about the foreign relations and allies, and enemies if any, of the Republic of Siangwaan.

## Josol

The people of Siangwaan regard Josol as their "blood brothers" due to their history of cooperation between both countries. Many Siangwaanians have a little bit of Vozonid or aborigine ancestry due to intermarriage.

Siangwaan's culture is heavily influenced by Vozonid culture: more specifically, Josolchir traditions, from the veneration of mountains to the usage of spinel talismans and proper ceremonial reading of Sarmelonid and Gauvajut hymns.

## Heronoja

The Heronoi are considered to be quirky blonde neighbours. A sour rivalry has resulted since the massacre of the Waxeroi, so Heronoi from their homeland angrily curse at their Siangwaanian counterparts as "monsters".

In Siangwaanian pop culture, Heronoja and its people are the subjects of jokes, mocking their amorous, exciteable behaviour as stupidity. They are often compard to dolls, and their kingdom was called "the dumbest country in the continent/East".

Ever since Waxeroi refugees settled into the country, their seemingly unrefined behaviour led to worsening views about Heronoi people in general, conflating them with the Arnadjanai. Heronoi are no longer seen as gentlemen, but subjects of a different kind of blonde joke mocking their "stupid" behaviour and lack of clothing in hot weather.

Most Siangwaanian Heronoi live in the south of the country, where they end up as jousters and athletes. In fact, at one point in 1901 AT, the national jousting team had a controversy when nearly all the athletes were blonde men!

## Bujan

When Siangwaan became independent, it also housed Bujanski revolutionaries who helped the country rebuild with their advanced technology.

Yet Siangwaanians sometimes look down on Bujanski as snobbish and arrogant, while the Bujanski see them as vulgar and irritatingly improper. Both nations love pop culture, jousting, and technology, making them remain good friends.

Some Siangwaanians went on to aid Bujan when the country expelled the Wannaenid oppressors. Even then, both nations love to use each other's hooligans and tramps to laugh at how similar each other can be in vulgarity!

## Porashon

Siangwaanian scientists visited Porashon to study the Celestial technology in their country.

## Peren

Friendly neighbour with a rather interesting pre-Vozonid culture.

## Varn Venn

Varn Venn is a good friend of Siangwaan, as both countries' peoples visited each other's schools and universities.

## Ajoltar

Ajoltar is greatly respected by Siangwaan as it was where they learned Buddhist scriptures and practices when they were unable to reach the Western Hemisphere. There are many Siangwaanians who became monks, students, abbots, and teachers at Ajoltar's monasteries.

## Hmoong Av

In the olden days, the emperors and presidents of Siangwaan used to trade with Hmoong Av. When Siangwaan defeated the Thralondian oppressors and regained its independence, the Hmoong Choneng sent diplomats to reestablish relations with that country. They also suggested to remove the words "Sam Miao" from being used to refer to dangerous peoples and barbarians.

## Daizhou

Siangwaan *hates* Daizhou, the ancestral homeland of its people. This was due to disapproval of what its people see as backwardsness, from corruption to famines, hypernationalism, militarism, and rudeness on Internet servers.

The last straw between any positive relations between the two countries was already broken when Daizhouvian leaders attempted to conquer Siangwaan as a colony or province. Henceforth, anyone who supported the conquest of Siangwaan under Daizhouvian rule was hated as an enemy of the nation.

## Rukania

Rukanians and Siangwaanians love jousting with a passion, but sometimes mock each other. The former are seen as snobs, while the latter are seen as fake knights and sports hooligans who just want a good fight.

## Marnos

Both countries are good drinking buddies, as they are seen as vulgar due to the poor attitude of their sports fans.

Jousting matches between Marnos and Siangwaan are dreaded as the most nauseating event due to the overuse of heavy metal music by sports hooligans.

## Sevraeja

The southerly highway town of Čečoljeńna is home to a district mostly built and inhabited by ethnic Siangwaanians, joined by refugees from the Thralondian invasion of their homeland. Being a hub for jousting, they might had taught their homeland kin to be better at the Heronoi sport.
