Are you actually going through with the Morgenthau Plan in your own nation's fictional history?
If so, Byzantium and Iran/Seljuks will be working together with anyone and everyone who is not the USR to undermine it.
Theyra, still interested in playing Georgia? How would you like to be part of an attempt to undermine the Morgenthau Plan to genocide Germany as revenge for its WWII Atrocities?

Many see Sultan Menelik as illegitimate and a foreigner. Ethnic violence. The Federation’s cracks are starting to show, the Federation is large, and thus has many different ethnic populations.

Other Military Information:The Sultanate is in control of 2 ICBMs, and the reserves are mostly armed with older outdated weapons.
History:The Sultanate started when during the civil wars in the Empire of Mali during the 1460s, a primarily Nigerian-Congo faction took power and united the empire. Under the leadership of the first Sultan, Sultan Adebiyi, they rapidly expanded until his death. Afterwards, a dark age ensued after foreign attacks from foreign empires and incompetent leaders left coffers empty and populations disgruntled. This led to rebellions and territories breaking off. After 200 years of stagnation, a new leader, Sultan Chioma, a brilliant leader and military commander led the Nation on a path of conquering and development, until his death in 1701. From the 1700s onwards, Sultans continued to decentralize, expand resource extracting, and continued some small conquests, leading to an era of Stability and peace. This continued for another 200 years (known as “The Era of Prosperity”) until the second world war, when pan-african fascists attempted to seize the government, leading to a civil war and “The Era of Weakness”. Extensive foreign support was the reason the Loyalist state survived, and increased foreign interference has left the Sultanate mostly weak in the 1900, with increased reliance on foreign trade, and the Empire, though large and from the outside strong, is a shell of its former self.

Yeah, I am still interested in Georgia and after looking up what the Morgenthau Plan is. The answer is probably yes, though still thinking of the empire's status during WW2.

And yes, Byzantium's historical diplomacy provides plenty of precedent for this.

History:
Gran Colombia, born in the fires of the Bolivarian Revolutions of the early 1800s, has had a long and storied history up to the year of our lord 1980. The first storm that had to be weathered by the newly freed state was the nature of its governance and the establishment of a constitution to unify the four primary regions of Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, and Ecuador. Simon Bolivar, seeing the importance of localized autonomy to keep the nation together through its formative years established a constitution in 1820 that heavily leaned into the federative ideas of the federalist parties. This would be followed by the introduction of massive public works projects, funded primarily by European and North American investors, that would seek to connect the four regions and tames the great wilderness that covered the nations expanse. This ultimately lead to the creation of roads and waterways that enabled all corners of the union to reach Bogata and have fair representation within the newly formed Congress. The state functioned for much the 1800s and early 1900s as a federative republic with an elected president, chosen by the congress from amongst its own members. These years were marked by the expansion of public works and the expansion of industry focused on the production and sale of raw materials to the international market. However, in the early 1900s, the long period of expansion and economic growth had come to a stand still as the changing world order brought about the closure of many international markets and the debt that the state had incurred had began to weigh heavily on its expenditures. A period of economic slowing and downturn proceeded through to the 1950s which prompted new actors to enter the arena of Colombian politics. Radicals formed various paramilitaries that sought to bring about the vision of the loathed communist ideologue Karl Marx. These paramilitaries waged war deep within the nations jungles and would attack only when the opportunity was ripe and surprise was on their side. The strongest of these paramilitaries, The Frente Comunista de Quito, under the leadership of Rosa Elena Tránsito Amaguaña Alba seeks to create an independent and indigenous marxist state in Ecuador while also inspiring revolution in other corners of the republic. In contrast, intrepid businessmen and common men alike began to form centralized cartels that specialized in the creation of various drugs such as cocaine in order to make mass profits despite the deteriorating economic situation. These cartels are known for their brutality to local populations that they have gained control over and are feared throughout the world as their products are smuggled into every corner of the globe, bringing with them crippling addiction and death. Among these cartels, the Lehder Cartel under the control of Carlos Lehder stands out. The Ledher Cartel holds a massive network of enforcers, drug runners, and salesmen spanning across the globe from its home base in the Colombian city of Medellin. In response to these threats, the Congress in Bogata would see the rise of a new political faction known as the Partido Patriótico Nacional de Gran Colombia, a group of right wing military generals and officers under the leadership of Valdemar Franklin Quintero who was a veteran of the National Police. The PNGC sought to crush both the cartels and communist paramilitaries with an iron fist by expanding and revamping the military. Likewise they also sought to expand the unions historical borders to control much of central america and central south america. The year is now 1980, communists and drug lords are at war deep in the jungle and the congress has just elected Valdemar Franklin Quintero to the seat of President. Will South America become a bastion of communism, a drug runners paradise, or will the iron fist of nationalism crush all in its way? Time will tell.

With those two clarified, I am looking forward to the final app.
