Other foreign relations
Liberty Islands is an indpendent and neutral country. Despite this, it is very active diplomatically. Liberty Islands is one of the founders of the Indepent Pact of Nations.
Hungary
Because of the Historical ties and the shared nationality Liberty Islands has very special and close ties to Hungary. However it was never this close. Between the 1930s and the 1970s, the relation was cold, and it was only interupted for brief periods (during the three year period of The Second Hungarian Republic and the Revolution of 1956).
Qumma
Liberty Islands was one of the first countries to start official relations with the small West African state, Qumma. The Szekeres Harbour Contruction and Management Company competed for the huge contract of building the new Fursan Seaport in Qumma. Finally, the contract was won by the People's Socialist State of Odeschnya (PSSO). Although the lost contract for the Fursan Seaport, the Liberty Islands meeting with the QEC was about so much more. Potentially the single biggest investor in Qumma, the first act the delegation presented to the QEC was its proposal to lift all visa and working permit requirements on all Qumman citizens traveling or hoping to live in the North Atlantic state. "With the beginning of the official relationship between these two friendly nations has come the construction of the LI Embassy in Fursan, in order to further facilitate the growth of the relationship. As such, the Qumman Embassy is also under construction in LI, and the Qumman Ambassador to the Liberty Islands has already been assigned. The most important invest LI has made in Qumma, however, is the construction and partial management of the new University of Liberty Islands in Qumma, or ULIQ. Although most of the administration will be run by Qummans and the QEC, it will branched out of the LI's superior educational system, in the hopes that the very first university to open its doors in Qumma will mold its next generation into something special.
More about Liberty Islands' businesses and investments in Qumma. In addition, LI has been presented with land to the north of Fursan to begin constructing a new foodstuff related factory. Although it will be small scale, it will distribute locally, and the QEC has also put forward a plan to help the company distribute in the region, to countries such as Senegal, Mauritania, Western Sahara, Gambia, and Cape Verde. The QEC has also mentioned that it will be opening its construction and development sector to LI companies, if agreed upon by the Liberty Investment Group. With the construction mini-boom taking place in Qumma, F.O.E.S Construction, the only registered development company owned by Qummans, is unable to keep up. Originally, the QEC has wanted to keep a very tight control policy on foreign construct and instead has sought to give the projects to Qumman companies, but the demand has far exceeded the supply. As such, the QEC will give way to two LI construction companies of their own choice, to begin operations in Fursan and Khaymeh." (QEC: Qumma Executive Council; LI: Liberty Islands) Qumma MD at SC4Dev

The regular batallions use light infantry vehicles and light artilery, the two special forces unit are only equiped with 4-wheeled vehicles. The Airborne Troops can reach any war zone in a day or two. In war in a allied nation, the Airborne Troops would e the first to fight and to hold out until the LIN Marines arrive.
- Navy
Liberty Islands Navy (LIN) was established on the basis of naval forces just after the National Guard in 1848, however actual warships existed in before 1848 too. Today the LIN is the largest branch of the islands. The LIN is relatively huge according to the size of the islands. The LIN has a wide range of aerial vehicles (aircraft and helicopters) to support its tasks and the Marines.
- Marines
Liberty Islands Marines (LIM) is not part of the LIN, but a separate branch of the Liberty Islands Armed Forces. Today it is the largest ground force of the islands. It can succesfully accomplish missions wordwidely with the help of LIN. LIM doesn't have aerial vehicles. Currently there is 3 active marine brigades, but the reserve forces make up another 2 brigades.
- National Guard
The National Guard is the oldest and still existing military force of Liberty Islands. It was established for the defence of Hungary in 1848. After the independence of Liberty Islands its mission was to secure the land of the islands and in the case of Hungarian revolution it would provide armed support. This idea is questioned as Liberty Islands is located thousands of kilometres from Hungary and can't send troops to the Carpathian Basion quickly. Today the National Guard has a two infantry regiments. The 1st National Guard Regiment has the objective to secure Liberty Islands executive, legislative and judical organizations and to provide protocol appearance. Te 2nd National Guard Regiment is under the command of the Governor-president. The rest of the National Guard is a reserve force of another undisclosed number of regiments.
