Diplomacy homage (SP2 pillars) · novolis-geopolitics

GeoPolity’s diplomacy layer is an original Novolis implementation inspired by SuperPower 2’s political/economic treaty pillars. It is not a port of the GolemLabs SDK, does not load DATABASE.GDB, and is not affiliated with THQ Nordic / GolemLabs.

GeoPolity	SP2-inspired pillar	Our effect (homage, not parity)
`Alliance` (multilateral)	Alliance	Mutual defense join, relation floor
`MilitaryAccess`	Military access / trespass	Staging combat bonus
`EconomicPartnership`	Economic Partnership	Small GDP boost from partners
`CommonMarket`	Common Market	Resource surplus fills members first
`EconomicAid`	Economic Aid	Capped treasury transfer SideA→SideB
`EconomicEmbargo`	Economic Embargo	Blocks/reduces bilateral resource trade
`ResearchPartnership`	Research Partnership	Tech progress multiplier
`Peace`	Peace / war end	Directed ceasefire + redeclare cooldown
`Supranational` kinds	Named blocs	See below

Supranational archetypes

Kind	Role	Linked treaties
`Forum`	Talk shop / assembly	Cultural exchanges
`DefenceAlliance`	Mutual defense	Alliance + military access
`FreeTradeArea`	Preferential trade	Economic partnership
`CustomsUnion`	Resource-first market	Common market (+ FTA)
`ResearchForum`	Tech collaboration	Research partnership
`PoliticalUnion`	Deep integration	Defense + customs + research + culture

Join barriers scale by kind (forum easy → political union hard). Bilateral offers use refusal reasons (relations, war with friend, power imbalance, affordability) inspired by SP2 treaty refusals — homage formulas only.

Resources

Six abstract goods (Food, Energy, Materials, Goods, MilitaryGoods, Rare) flow monthly: domestic balance → common market → world market → shortage/surplus stability effects. This is not Novolis.Economy and not SP2’s full resource table.
