How to Change Regional Relations

For the Positive

• Reduce build capacity by deactivating or scrapping Military bases
• Avoid placing bases or military units near borders
• Avoid the research, construction, and use of NBC weapons
• Make diplomatic arrangements, even if they don't favor your nation. The more numerous and generous your deals are the quicker relations will improve.
  • Start with diplomatic arrangements of lesser importance like Embassy and Criminal Extradition before attempting to sign more valuable agreements such as Full Alliances and Mutual Defense treaties
  • Seek peace with all regions
  • Honor all diplomatic deals
• Maintain good World Market relations
• Maintain high levels of Domestic Approval and funding for Social Services
• Keep inflation and Domestic markup low and a high GDP/c
• Researching technologies such as some environmentally friendly alternatives to power production

For the Negative

• Declaring war without proper justification
• Declaring war on a nation's allies
• Researching controversial technologies
• Trade Embargos

The Effects of Regional Relations

• If a unification vote is being held regional relationships will have a serious influence on their final outcomes
• The requirements for diplomatic deals will vary
• The chance of an opposing nation surrendering increases
• The level of threats will change (i.e. mutual defensive pacts)
  • This can alter spending
