(placeholder for detailed foreign relations information) Basic breakdown of foreign relations (temporary filler): - Reformed United Nations of Earth: although a founding member and permanant member of the "security council", some parts of the government feel that the usefulness of RUNE membership has run its course and that if anything is holding the Eurasian Union back from becoming the sole dominant super power in the world.
- Confederacy of Free Cities and Trade: Considered their rivals, currently fighting a (covert) proxy war against them via the Pacific-Asian Union.
- Neo-Europa Duchy: all but openly hostile, RUNE peacekeeping forces along the demilitarized border of the two powers are almost all that is keeping the two sides from breaking back into fighting.
- Muslim League: as much due to the large muslim populations living in Eurasia as their percieved common enemy in the "Western Powers", the EU tends to stay on good terms with the League, even going so far as to find inventive ways to break the trade imbargo RUNE has in effect to trade goods and technologies back and forth. While this is somewhat of an open secret, so far no RUNE inspectors have been able to prove anything other than "misguided individuals acting on their own independently of the government".
- Pacific-Asian Union: much the same as with the League; the Eurasian Union has in addition been increasingly been selling off large amounts of surplus as "scrap metal" to nonexistant industrial shell companies and discharging veteran troops under unclear circumstances, only for both to end up in the Pacific (the latter as advisors and mercenaries) facing off against the Confederacy.
- South American Federation:
- Indian Plutocracy:
- Greater African Empire:
- United Free Asian Alliance
- United Mexican Protectorate:
- New Vatican Assembly:
- New Jerusalem:
- New United States of America:
- ?

Military - Overview:
The Eurasian Union's military is divided into Ground Forces, Navy and Air Force. Strategic Rocket Forces, Military Space Forces, and the Airborne Troops.
As of 2111, the military has over a million personnel on active duty. It is mandatory for all citizens aged 18-27 to be drafted for a year of service in the Armed Forces.
The EU has the largest remaining stockpile of nuclear weapons in the world, which while diminished since WW3 is still formidable compared to what most other nations possess.
It has the second largest submarine fleet after the Confederacy, and is the only nation other than the Confederacy to maintain a strategic bomber force. The EU's tank force is the largest in the world, and its surface navy and air force - while somewhat dated - are among the largest as well.
Eurasia has a large and fully indigenous arms industry, producing most of its own military equipment with only few types of weapons imported. Eurasia is the world's top supplier of arms, accounting for around 55% of worldwide weapons sales and exporting weapons to over half the countries in the world, as well as several non-governmental organizations. Official government military spending for the past year was $___ billion, the second largest in the world, though various sources have estimated Eurasia’s military expenditures to be considerably higher. Currently, a major equipment upgrade worth about $___ billion is on its way between 2111 and 2121.
(obviously under construction...)
