How to read this file¶

Relation status (Current table)¶

Status	Meaning
peace	No open hostilities; normal or restored formal relations.
war	Open hostilities (declared or undeclared).
truce	Temporary halt to fighting pending talks or further orders.
armistice	Fighting suspended under standing terms while a formal peace instrument is contested, delayed, or abrogated.
alliance	Formal mutual-defense or political alliance (state only when on-page).
neutral	Named non-participation in a third-party conflict.
strained	Peace or armistice in force but political/popular hostility or leverage is material.
unknown	Realm named in world context but no on-page bilateral posture through ceiling.

Instruments¶

Treaties / deals — named or clearly formal instruments (equal-peace treaty, trade treaty, paper-process deal, grain embargo, etc.).
Envoys — person and office only briefly; full tenure in nation government files.
Do not invent alliances or terms not stated in chapter prose.

Historical IDs¶

Stable keys for major changes: DP-### (increment). One row per material change of status, instrument, or negotiation milestone. Do not renumber.

Current relations¶

Snapshot of state-to-state posture through the scope ceiling. One row per bilateral pair that has on-page diplomatic content (or a deliberate placeholder for major realms). Order: Nystria-facing pairs first, then other pairs when they appear on-page.
