[7.3] International Disputes

The Empire of Layarteb, like any other state in the world, will never be 100% at ease with its surroundings and each and every other state that exists. Border disputes, extradition problems, and so on and so fourth all shape up to be disputes that affect policy within the Empire of Layarteb.

Illegal Drugs: The international drug trade is a major concern for the Empire of Layarteb, especially considering the domestic problems with illegal drugs. The three major cartels within the Empire of Layarteb, the Esmeralda Cartel (Venezuela), the Florida Cartel (Cuba), and the Meta Cartel (Colombia) dominate a significant portion of the international drug trade and ensure that hundreds of thousands of kilograms of illicit substances leave the borders of the Empire of Layarteb each month to pollute the youth of the world. The cartels also see to it that hundreds of thousands of kilograms of illicit substances enter the borders of the Empire of Layarteb as well. Since the conclusion of the War on Drugs in 2007, this has not become an important issue.
Mato Grosso: Mato Grosso continues to be a hotbed for insurgent activity in the northwestern region, bordering the Amazonian Territory. A Layartebian War in September and October 2007 ended on a ceasefire promise that this territory in the northwest would not become a safe haven for insurgents and terrorists. As of December 2007, the area continues to be occupied by hostile forces but in insignificant amounts.
Roman Territory: While not a major concern, the Roman presence on Sanibel Island in Florida and at Alert on Ellesmere Island are seen as unpopular amongst the Layartebian people, who feel that both Florida and Ellesmere Island, in their entirety, are rightfully Layartebian. The presence of the Roman Empire, while not hostile, and marginal, at best, does garner some minor rivalry and hatred but nothing significant enough to be a major concern.
