#### Environment

Since 2013, 150 oil drilling sites have been closed. In 2016, Amieros introduced a fuel tax to invest the earned money in renewable energy.

### Foreign policies

#### Isladanic Community of Nations

Amieros is for ICN expansion and intensive cooperation. Amieros pushed for the creation of the Isladanic Parliament to strengthen the position of Dania in the ICN. Amieros remains an outlyer in the ICN for his soft stance against Sagofagia.

#### Sagofagia

Amieros restored relations with Sagofagia and established the first Dania–Sagofagia summit in 2020. Most of the hostilities between the countries went down, but there is still much skepticism in Dalanic politics about the restored relations. The independence of Sonalalia remains an issue, with Dania supporting Sonalalia.

#### United States

Under Amieros, Dania continues to move closer to the United States in foreign policy. In 2018, a US military base in Centralitan was restored after being abandoned in 1991. Amieros was initially against placing American troops on Dalanic soil, but became for the stationing after a meeting with US president Donald Trump.

At the 2022 Dania–Sagofagia summit, Amieros denounced the ongoing growth in influence of outside powers like China and the United States in Isladania.
