Ecoralia
The Ecoralian-Renesian trade relationship is one of the oldest trade relationships Renesia has, the oldest document hint at Kingdom of Æðelstan maintaining "old trade routes with the kingdoms of the east". The trade route between the two regions has been disrupted multiple times through wars and conquest. After the independence of Renesia and the formation of Ecoralia, the trade relationship between the two nations became official. Although, in some instances, their relationship reached a boiling point where all trade between the two nations was halted such as the Eduran Revolution, Velvet Revolution of 1842 and the Second World War. After the second world war, Renesia sought to repair its relationship with Ecoralia and helped it rebuild its infrastructure and rebuild its economy after the Third World War bringing the two nations closer together. Now Renesia and Ecoralia are members of Grand Martial Championship Association (GMCA), Onse Naval Alliance Treaty (ONAT) and Alutran Cultural Community (ACC).

As Ecoralia and Renesia are both members of ONAT and are close in proximity they enjoy easy trade with each other. Nationals in both countries are able to invest in the other country much more easily and are able to use their national ID to travel between them. Moreover, ONAT removes all trade barriers between Ecoralia and Renesia, with the exception of banned items such as weaponry, all products are tariff-free. Ecoralia and Renesia connected their rail system through two points; the Einheit/Renes line through Renas province, and the Rot Erberg/Rot Nord line through Erberg province, the former is used significantly more than the latter as it connects the two capitals. Renesia has also connected its energy grid with Ecoralia to import Ecoralia's electricity. Renesia sole Oil rig transport all of its extracted and  to Ecoralia to be refined.

Edury
Renesia's stance on republic nations has always been cold, similarly, Edury's stance on monarchical nations is a hateful one, yet Renesia and Edury still maintain a healthy trade between them. Renesia has iron and various other metals that Edury covet so much and Edury has foodstuff and coal that Renesia covet so much. The trade between the two nations existed since ancient times and has only intensified with age, to the point where Renesia sided with Edury in the Eduran revolution to maintain their trade relationship. Renesia and Edury train networks are connected to each other via Ecoralia.

Galvia
Since the creation of the High Kingdom of Æðelstan trade with its southern neighbours was limited compared to eastern and western neighbours, however, this all changed after the Varic Empire's conquest of the region, integrating it into its trade network. After Renesia's independence, it still maintained its established trade routes and any war in Galvia would ripple negatively towards Renesia such as the Common War and Galvic War which forced Renesia to adapt and attempt to profiteer from these wars by establishing the Krahensoldaten.

Today, Renesia and Galvia are both members of ONAT which removes tariffs between them and gives freedom of movement for nationals in both countries. Renesia imports Galvian electricity, therefore, Renesian energy gird is connected with Galvia. Galvia and Renesia train networks are connected via two points; the Einheit/Renes line through Schaarstal province, and the Gelb Kostbar/Gelb Sarrisen line through Bredelem province, both are used equally as much.

Although, Myrish still face difficulties in investing inside Renesia.

Koranel

Renesia invests in both the oil and pharmaceutical industries in Koranel, owning 20% worth of shares in Oilkor among others. The most imported goods are; Oil, natural gas, pharmaceutical goods, fish and minerals. Meanwhile, Renesia commonly exports to Koranel are cars, machines, luxury goods, motor engines, minerals and metals.

During the second world war, Renesia and Salia signed the Renes agreement of mutual exchange and recognition of official documents (RAMEROD) which is still in effect today, while RAMEROD was only intended for military use it had an unintended beneficial economical effect making trade much easier between Salia and Renesia. After the third world war, Renesia put a significant effort into rebuilding Salia from investments to loans of money and equipment. Renesia enjoys a friendly relationship with Salia until this day and sees it as a favoured trade partner.

Ventora
The official relationship between Renesia and Ventora started in the 1600s, however, significant trade between the two regions was established after the Varic Empire's conquest of the Kingdom of Æðelstan. The advent of new and improved methods of transportation brought the two countries much closer together. Although there was no official support from Renesia's government, some Renesian noble families assisted Ventora during the Eshar War. After the Second World War Renesia and Ventora entered into a bilateral trade agreement to help alleviate the effects of the war, where there are no tariffs between the two nations and nationals in both countries enjoy a significant amount of economic freedom, and the later signing of Renes Agreement Regarding Dual Nationality cemented those agreements. After the War of the Three Capitals, Renesia invested in Ventora to help it rebuild its economy and loaned nobles and capitalists alike to restart it.

Renesia imports agricultural goods, livestock, plastics, intermediate manufacturing goods, coal, defense equipment, textile and cars from Ventora. Meanwhile, Renesia exports luxury goods, clothing articles, minerals, metals, lumber and engines to Ventora.

After Vojanak War Renesia lent lease Vojandzeka with military equipment and provided them with training personnel, until the Kalvatăsz Crisis.
