Politics

International Relations

Status	Nation	Notes
Ally	Soviet Union	The Soviets have long been allies of the Turks, and have been actively supporting Turkey in its times of need. No bad blood exist between the two nations. The Soviets aided the Turks militarily during the invasion of Persia, and assisted them during the invasion of Iraq. Turkish citizens view the Soviets as comrades in arms.
Ally	Italy	N/A.
Peace	Japan	The relationship between Turkey and Japan have been repaired, though neither nation is allowed to interfere within the sphere of influence of the other.
Neutral	Romania	N/A.
Protectorate	Bulgaria	Following the invasion of Bulgaria in the 1950s, the nation has been a subordinate puppet state of Turkey, providing the nation with military recruits, raw materials, and economic support in exchange for limited autonomy and permission to maintain a military force for self-defense.
Protectorate	Serbia	Following the Second World War, Yugoslavia was divided by the Allies and the Soviet Union. As a long-time ally of Turkey, the nation was offered protection by the Turkish government, and is allowed to maintain a separate military force to protect their lands in return for providing Turkey with troops during times of war.
Protectorate	Albania	With the end of the Second World War, the Albanians had no protection from the local powers, and given the dangers a small, post-war state faced with larger victorious powers dividing the Turkey, a diplomatic envoy was sent to nearby Turkey for economical and military assistance. The Albanians have the same rights as a protectorate; they may maintain a military force and must provide Turkey with troops during wartime.
Protectorate	Croatia	With the collapse of Yugoslavia, the Croats inherited a destroyed nation and few economic resources with which to rebuild. In exchange for becoming a protectorate of Turkey, the Croats gain the resources needed to rebuild their young nation.
Protectorate	Hungary	A close political and economical ally of Turkey during the war in Europe, Hungary was badly beaten in the fight, and was placed under Turkish protection for the duration of their rebuilding effort.
Protectorate	Greece	Though conquered, the Greeks were recently offered the chance to gain limit autonomy, and maintain a military force for self-defense. In exchange, they provide Turkey with military support during war, and gain economical benefits from being a member of the Turkish nation.
Protectorate	Iraq	In a show of brotherhood and friendship, the Iraqi people were offered self-rule and rights to maintain a military force under the supervision of the Turkish government. The Iraqis have responsible allies of the Turks, and Turkish promises to rebuild their nation and protect them from external threats have done much to build confidence in the Turkish government.
Protectorate	Western Persia	The Persians have been under Turkish rule for many years, and were granted limited permissions that came with being a member of Turkey. Since the ceasefire more than thirty years ago, the Persians have been prestigous members of Turkish society, and have many benefits not held by other protectorates. Demands for the unification of Persia under Turkey have been the foremost issue dominating Persian media.
Protectorate	East Arabia	East Arabia had the benefit of joining Turkey peacefully, and maintains all of military forces, economic and industrial facilities, and its government structure. It is the most prosperous of the Turkish protectorates, and like Western Persia, is seeking reunification of its divided lands under Turkish guidance.
Protectorate	North Syria & Lebanon	The Syrians and Lebanonese have it much better off than many protectorates for they live near the Turkish core territories, and are thus well-guarded against enemy invasions. The protectorates maintain their own defense forces to aid Turkish military units, and have some say in the running of their lands.
Protectorate	Bosnia	Like the rest of former Yugoslavia, the Turks took over the remnants of their old ally's lands vowing to rebuild them, and one day reunite them as one. The Bosnians have have been crucial to that goal, and have much at stake in such a plan.
Protectorate	Montenegro	The protectorate was established over Montenegro at the same time as Albania, and is considered one of the less vauble protectorates of Turkey. However, the mountainous terrain of the land is perfect for many of the Turk secret military projects.
At War	United States of America	The United States, as with Japan, has been active in meddling in the foreign activities of Turkey, and declared war on the nation in their agreement with Japan to invade Turkey. The United States' actions are a mystery to Turkish officials, and seems more driven by politics than anything else.
At War	North Republic	At one point, the North Republic was an ally of Turkey, with an arms deal signed between the two shortly after the former's creation. However, as soon as the relations between Japan and the United Stated soured with Turkey, the North Republic chose to side with America instead.
At War	United Arab Republic	Considering traitors and turncoats by the Turks and their allies, the UAR rules over the southern Syrians and western Arabians, dividing them from their brothers, and causing most of the troubles in the region Turkey has been trying to resolve by uniting the region together as one nation.
Destroyed	Persia	The Persians lost the majority of the industrial, economical, and defensible lands to Turkey in the 1930s, and have been seeking to regain them ever since. The Turks were held off from conquering them completely because of the meddling of the Japanese. Persia as a self-governing nation was destroyed by the Turks in 1969.
