Foreign Relations
The diplomatic relationships of Kalama are largely defined by burning hatred for California and a desire to cooperate with any other nation opposed to California.

The Restored State of California is actively engaged with Kalama in a campaign of on-and-off again border skirmishes and battles, with the borders of control shifting in small amounts over the past decade. Neither side is willing to commit to an all out invasion, as Kalaman military brass are paranoid of California mustering its full military might, and Californian military brass doesn't want to commit to an invasion of Kalama without pacifying the northern lands in its borders that it would have to pass through to invade Kalama. This stand off is known as "The Peaceful War," given the strange flux of conflict and truce these nations continue to go through.

The Federal Republic of Socela and Kalama have warm diplomatic relations, although they do not have a formal alliance with each other. While both nations desire the total destruction of California, Socela seeks to do this through espionage and soft power, while Kalama desires a more active and hard power approach. The two nations collaborate, but with very little commitment given the difference between their two strategies for facing California. Kalama constantly courts a Socelan military alliance, so that the two could invade California on two front, but Socelan diplomats and government officials are hesitant to commit to such a policy.
