The Alliances screen lists all your diplomatic agreements with other countries. They can be:
- Wars: an entry for each war, with a listing of the friendly and enemy war coalitions. The enemy warleader is listed first.
- Truce: a truce lasts for a period of 5 years after a peace treaty is concluded; the expiry date is shown.

- Military Alliance and the set of members. By hovering the mouse over the icon, you'll see the planned expiration date (normally ten years after the peace treaty, but will automatically 'float' during an active war). The alliance leader is either the active country or the first country in the list.
- Vassalizations, in both ways. By hovering the mouse, you'll see the starting date.
- Permanent CBs, one big list for all countries.
- Temporary CBs: one entry per CB, showing the country it is against and the expiry date.

The Relations screen depicts the state of your relations with every country you know about, using one line per country. The list is split in two:

- second part shows the other countries.
Countries are given in a decreasing order, starting with best relations and ending with worse relations.
