Foreign policy of Tiperyn

The foreign policy of the Holy Tiperyn Realm is its interactions with foreign nations and how it sets standards of interaction for its organizations, corporations and citizens.

Military
As a leading member of the North-South Concordant, the Tiperyn Realm Defence—Tiperyn's armed force—is integral to several bilateral mutual defence arrangements as well as a number of major multilateral cooperative security agreements. Among these include the stationing of Tiperyn forces abroad, patrolling of maritime trade corridors, and investment in collective defence infrastructure. Tiperyn is currently engaged in combat against, and Mihrani nationalist groups in Nasiria as part of its participation in the Nasiri Civil War. Additionally, Tiperyn's network of military bases located within its overseas holdings allow its military to exert far greater influence than it would otherwise be able to.

Grand strategy
Heavily influenced by experience gained during the Grand Campaigns and Great Kesh War, the Realm Defence's grand strategy is to create outside of Tiperyn's borders to prevent a domestic ground war. This doctrine is known as dynbehald, a of the native Tipsprek words dynamysk (Anglic: dynamic) and behald (Anglic: preservation). In order of severity, the Tiperyn military attempts to achieve dynbehald by:
 * 1) Maintaining its overseas Realm Viceroyalties and Dominions and a network of alliances as potential first lines of defense against foreign aggression and as hubs for deterrent force projection.
 * 2) Creating proxy powers through investment and political influence to aid in force projection, limit the encroachment of rival influence, and shift potential battlegrounds from Western Artemia to further overseas.
 * 3) Maintaining sufficient naval forces to preserve Tiperyn's sea connection to its major allies (i.e. Agrana y Griegro and Koryeo) and seize naval supremacy within 200 kilometers of Tiperyn's shores.
 * 4) Maintaining sufficient amphibious land and air forces to invade hostile territory in close proximity to Tiperyn's shores to preoccupy opposition forces that could otherwise potentially be committed to an invasion of Tiperyn. In the context of tensions with the League of Free Nations, the presumed targets of this doctrine are Airgialla and Vallis.

Tiperyn first practiced this doctrine during the Grand Campaigns, although informally. In 1919, Tiperyn entered the four-year old conflict on the side of the Vallisian royalists with the aim of preserving a friendly Vallis as a buffer state between Tiperyn and the growing military might of Teutonia. The strategy itself was formalized immediately following the Grand Campaigns which saw a protracted campaign in western Tiperyn undertaken by Goidelic nationalists and republican forces and the ultimate loss of the Airgialla archipelago.

Although Tiperyn had been a major colonial power as late as the 19th century, still maintaining a number of overseas territories and dominions today, its overseas holdings were not considered to be strategic depth integral to Tiperyn's defence strategy until after the Grand Campaigns.
