Antara
The Dominion is a major industrial and trading partner, and a prime source of both raw and manufactured materials. Her citizens are free and welcome to visit and reside in the Home Islands, albeit treated with some suspicion and a little hesitant respect.
Ardea
The Commonwealth is a good place to spend a holiday or live in, and is likewise an important trading partner of the Serene Republic. Much seaborne commerce is conducted between the two seafaring nations, and Ardean citizens are welcome guests and avid shoppers and tourists in the Serene Republic.
Bontera
The Bonteran Republic and its overseas territory is known by many citizens of the Serene Republic to be a good place to soak up the sun, Scermos, and the sights. Its patronage politics, relative personal freedom, and comparatively open market are very familiar to, and appreciated by, the serenissima. It is a common educational destination for expatriate children of the serenissima for, during, and after a summer holiday.

Catai
Catai is a distant nation that many serenissima have heard of, but no one, save for the most cunning merchant, ever wants to go there.
Etruria
Despite their pretensions to the contrary, it has become fashionable for serenissima to "return home" to the Fatherland, and indeed, many serenissima have kin who have settled here as well. It has the highest expatriate population of citizens of the Serene Republic abroad, mainly those of retiree age. Etruria's vast natural wonders continue to beguile Grand Councilors; these all-natural wonders being citizens of the Imperii Etrusci, included.
Fernandina
Fernandina is considered by many citizens of the Serene Republic to be a typical example of why Giorgio Ruspoli, one of the Founding Fathers, said that "'Government...is now merely a matter of the foolf, bigotf, and cowardf, peafants all, outnumbering erudite leaderf of our ftature'".
Hundsvergen
Hussia
The Free Society is considered to be a dark and damp place in Aesmund where no one but vampires live.
Kantonia
Kantonia is a distant nation that many serenissima have heard of, but no one, save for the most cunning merchant, ever wants to go there. Many have heard it makes good noodles, though.
Karsos
The Objective Republic has remained one of the favored travel and commercial spots for serenissima. It has one of the largest expatriate populations after Etruria, mainly due to its principle of state noninterference in the daily lives of Grand Councilors of the Serene Republic. While there is considerable discussion about replicating standards of Objectivity at home, many citizens of the Serene Republic still consider great wealth and little political activism as a good thing, favoring the stability of draconian rule to the chaos of mobocracy.

Lindossë
The Federal Kingdom is the Serene Republic's largest trading partner in Miotus, and relations are warmly reciprocated, with Lindossë having favored-nation status. Much concern weighs heavy on her besieged neighbors, though business is as usual in Ampelos.

Maloumba
Maloumba is said to be a distant land where cannibals roam, and while its crafts and tales of good hunting are legend, no decent serenissima save the most cunning merchant ever wants to go there.
Monota
Monota is a land somewhere in Aurora, but no citizen of the Serene Republic can accurately pinpoint it on a map, save for descendants of the Navigator-Doge, Rodrigo Vasquez.
Moram
Moram, like Monota, is a land somewhere in Aurora, but no citizen of the Serene Republic can accurately pinpoint it on a map, save for descendants of the Navigator-Doge, Rodrigo Vasquez.
North Shurkan Union
The North Shurkan Union is a nation that many serenissima have heard of. Many major business concerns and individual citizens of the Serene Republic have trade connections there, though no one really wants their children to emigrate with them.
Norya
Norya is a good place to spend a holiday or live in, and is likewise an important trading partner of the Serene Republic. Much seaborne commerce is conducted between the two seafaring nations, and Noryan subjects are welcome guests and avid shoppers and tourists in the Serene Republic.
Odessa
The Plenary Republic is an important trading power in its own sphere, and the Serene Republic recognizes this fact with a similarly vigorous trade presence in the region. Many Odessans are employed by firms in the Serene Republic, primarily in the scientific and mathematical fields, in the same way that many serenissima are likewise employed in the financial and accounting departments of many an Odessan corporation, who are far more efficient and more than capable to make offers that Officia bureaucrats find very difficult to refuse.
Pravnicka
The Unionist Commonwealth and the Serene Republic are ready partners in Auroran development, with dialectic never an issue. Having had a sizeable commercial presence since the days of the Cisarate, the Serene Republic is still a major contributor to the national economy, and a capable ally for all the Pravnick people's banking and finance needs.
Raipea
Like Pravnicka, the Serene Republic is a ready partner with the Democratic People's Republic , with dialectic or religion never an issue. Having had a sizeable commercial presence since the days of the old Kingdom, the Serene Republic is still a major contributor to the national economy, and a capable ally for all the Raipean people's banking and finance needs.
Sam'thuma
The Western Kingdom is the Serene Republic's odd little neighbor, tolerated for a lot of things and like any good neighbor, sufficient to pass leisure time with. Many serenissima enjoy her geographical sights and sounds, and are amused with her people, her tea, and her many idiosyncracies. Many a Sam'thuman is in the employ of citizens of the Serene Republic, particularly in the manual labor and clerkly capacity, though marrying one, even if a member of the royal family, is still considered by some to be a little beneath one's dignity.
Theodinnes
Torentine Empire
The Empire is a country on the rise, and many serenissima have sensed this, with numerous commercial interests evident in her internal economy. Her location also makes for a good base of regional operations, and continuing vibrant trade with Danetia and surrounding continents certainly makes for further optimism. Tourism between the Empire and the Serene Republic is likewise a burgeoning industry, and many serenissima are familiar with her sights and sounds, thanks to a highly-developed transport infrastructure.
Translithania
The Realms of the Sacred and Imperial Crown of St Stanislaus are considered by many serenissima as the long-ailing (but far from dying) grand old man of Aesmund. While he may seem to be past his prime, he remains a good prospect for many a trade deal or a hard currency loan, and her noble subjects are welcome guests and tourists to the Home Islands, if not a bit stuffy sometimes.
